Unless otherwise provided herein, any such new or amended Claim Filed after the Confirmation Date shall be disregarded and deemed Disallowed in full and expunged without need for objection, unless the Holder of such Claim has obtained prior Bankruptcy Court authorization for the filing.
Any order creating a Disallowed Claim that is not a Final Order as of the Effective Date solely because of an Entity’s right to move for reconsideration of such order pursuant to Section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rule 3008 shall nevertheless become and be deemed to be a Final Order on the Effective Date, without prejudice to such right to move for reconsideration.
5.2

7.3
THE ASBESTOS TRUST
7.3.1
Creation of the Asbestos Trust
Upon the entry of the Confirmation Order, effective as of the day immediately preceding the Effective Date, the Asbestos Trust shall be created pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 524(g) and in accordance with the Plan Documents. The Asbestos Trust shall be a “qualified settlement fund” for federal income tax purposes within the meaning of the treasury regulations issued pursuant to Section 468B of the IRC.
The purpose of the Asbestos Trust shall be to, among other things: (i) assume the liabilities of the Debtors with respect to all Asbestos Claims except as provided in Sections 8.4.2 and 8.5 of this Plan (with the Reorganized Debtors and Asbestos Protected Parties having no responsibility whatsoever for such Asbestos Claims, apart from transferring the Asbestos Trust Assets to the Asbestos Trust in accordance with this Plan); (ii) process, liquidate, pay and satisfy all Asbestos Claims in accordance, as applicable, with this Plan, the Asbestos Trust Agreement and the CRP and in such a way that provides reasonable assurance that the Asbestos Trust will value, and be in a financial position to pay, present and future Asbestos Claims (including Demands that involve similar claims) in substantially the same manner and to otherwise comply with Section 524(g)(2)(B)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code; (iii) preserve, hold, manage, and maximize the assets of the Asbestos Trust for use in paying and satisfying Asbestos Claims entitled to payment; (iv) qualify at all times as a “qualified settlement fund” for federal income tax purposes within the meaning of the treasury regulations issued pursuant to Section 468B of the IRC; (v) pay Asbestos Trust Expenses from the Asbestos Trust Assets as incurred (with the Reorganized Debtors and Asbestos Protected Parties having no responsibility whatsoever for any Asbestos Trust Expenses, apart from transferring the Asbestos Trust Assets to the Asbestos Trust in accordance with this Plan), and (vi) otherwise carry out the provisions of the Asbestos Trust Agreement and any other agreements into which the Asbestos Trustee has entered or will enter in connection with this Plan.
7.3.2
Funding of the Asbestos Trust
On the day immediately preceding the Effective Date, (a) GST or Garrison shall transfer $350 million in Cash to the Asbestos Trust; (b) Coltec shall transfer $50 million in Cash to the Asbestos Trust, and (c) Coltec, EnPro, and the Asbestos Trust shall enter into the Option and Registration Rights Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit H hereto (the “Option”). On or before the first anniversary of the Effective Date, Coltec and GST shall transfer the full amount of the Deferred Contribution in Cash to the Asbestos Trust.
Effective on the Effective Date and immediately following the merger of Coltec with and into New Coltec as provided in Section 7.10 hereof, the Deferred Contribution shall be guaranteed by EnPro, pursuant to a Parent Guaranty substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J (the “Guaranty”), and secured by a possessory lien on or possessory security interest in 50.1% of the GST/Garrison Equity Interests (the “Lien”), which Lien shall be granted by New Coltec (immediately after its merger with Coltec) on the Effective Date to, and held by, the Asbestos Trust pursuant to a Pledge Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Pledge Agreement”). The Lien shall be first priority and perfected in a manner such that it will not be rendered subordinate to, or pari passu with, any other lien, security interest, pledge, or other Encumbrance or interest prior to the release of the Lien under the terms set forth below in this paragraph. On the Effective Date, New Coltec will deliver certificates representing 50.1% of the GST/Garrison Equity Interests, together with stock power executed in blank, to the Asbestos Trust to be held by the Asbestos Trustee in accordance with the Pledge Agreement. Coltec and GST will be entitled to prepay all or part of the Deferred Contribution at any time without penalty. Once the Deferred Contribution has

30




been paid in Cash and in full to the Asbestos Trust, or otherwise satisfied by agreement of the Reorganized Debtors and the Asbestos Trust, the Lien will be released in accordance with the terms of the Pledge Agreement and the Guaranty will be terminated in accordance with the terms of the Guaranty. The Reorganized Debtors and the Asbestos Trust shall be free to negotiate or enter into an agreement that would permit payment of the Deferred Contribution before the first anniversary of the Effective Date at an agreed discount rate.
Prior to the delivery to the Asbestos Trust of shares of EnPro common stock upon exercise of the Option, EnPro shall cause a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to become effective registering the resale of such shares, and such shares shall not be subject to any lien, Encumbrance, or restriction that would prevent such stock from being sold or traded in a public securities market. No “poison pill,” shareholder or stockholder rights plan, or other anti-takeover or takeover defense plan, contract, agreement, instrument, or provision adopted or implemented by EnPro shall apply to or be triggered by the issuance of the Option or upon exercise of the Option by the Asbestos Trust.
7.3.3
Vesting of Assets in the Asbestos Trust
Upon the transfer of the Asbestos Trust Assets to the Asbestos Trust, such Asbestos Trust Assets shall be indefeasibly and irrevocably vested in the Asbestos Trust free and clear of all claims, Equity Interests, Encumbrances, and other interests of any Entity, subject to the Asbestos Channeling Injunction and other provisions of this Plan.
7.3.4
Transfer of Claims and Demands to the Asbestos Trust
On the Effective Date, without any further action of any Entity, all liabilities, obligations, and responsibilities of any Asbestos Protected Party, financial or otherwise, with respect to all Asbestos Claims shall be channeled to and assumed by the Asbestos Trust (except as provided in Sections 8.4.2 and 8.5 of this Plan), and the Reorganized Debtors and other Asbestos Protected Parties shall have no liability or responsibility, financial or otherwise, for any Asbestos Claims, other than to transfer the Asbestos Trust Assets to the Asbestos Trust in accordance with this Plan. This Section 7.3.4 is intended to further effect the Asbestos Channeling Injunction described in Section 8.2 of this Plan, and the discharge described in Section 8.1 of this Plan. This Section 7.3.4 is not intended to, and it shall not, serve as a waiver of any defense to any claim the Debtors, the Asbestos Trust, or any other Asbestos Protected Party would otherwise have.
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Asbestos Trust Agreement, or the CRP, the Asbestos Trust shall have any and all of the actions, claims, rights, defenses, cross-claims, counterclaims, suits, and causes of action of the Debtors and the other Asbestos Protected Parties, whether known or unknown, at law, in equity or otherwise, arising under the laws of any jurisdiction, that are based on or attributable to (a) all defenses to any Asbestos Claims; (b) with respect to any Asbestos Claims, all rights of setoff, recoupment, contribution, reimbursement, subrogation, or indemnity (as those terms are defined by the nonbankruptcy law of any relevant jurisdiction), and any other indirect claim of any kind whatsoever and whenever arising or asserted; and (c) any other claims or rights with respect to Asbestos Claims that any of the Debtors or other Asbestos Protected Parties would have had under applicable law if the Chapter 11 Cases had not occurred and the Holder of such Asbestos Claim had asserted it by initiating civil litigation against any such Debtor or other Asbestos Protected Party (together, the “Asbestos Trust Causes of Action”), and the Asbestos Trust shall thereby become the estate representative pursuant to Section 1123(b)(3)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code with the exclusive right to enforce each of the Asbestos Trust Causes of Action, and the proceeds of the recoveries on any of the Asbestos Trust Causes of Action shall be deposited in and become the property of the Asbestos Trust; provided, however, that (a) the Asbestos Trust shall have no rights against the

31




Reorganized Debtors or Asbestos Protected Parties other than the right to enforce the Plan or any of the other Plan Documents according to their respective terms, including the right to receive the Asbestos Trust Assets as provided in this Plan; (b) the Asbestos Trust Causes of Action shall not include any of the Asbestos Insurance Rights; (c) the Asbestos Trust Causes of Action shall not include any claim, cause of action, or right of the Debtors or any of them, under the laws of any jurisdiction, against any party, including the Asbestos Insurance Entities, for reimbursement, indemnity, contribution, breach of contract, or otherwise arising from or based on any payments made by the Debtors on account of asbestos claims prior to the Effective Date, (d) the Asbestos Trust Causes of Action shall not include any claims released, compromised, or settled under Section 8.4 of this Plan, and (e) for the avoidance of doubt, Asbestos Trust Causes of Action do not include any rights of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the other Asbestos Protected Parties arising under the Asbestos Channeling Injunction or any of the other injunctions, releases, or the discharge granted under the Plan and the Confirmation Order.

7.3.10
Asbestos Insurance Rights and Authority of Reorganized Debtors to Extend Asbestos Channeling Injunction to Asbestos Insurance Entities and Successor Entities Prior to Confirmation Date
Under this Plan, apart from the allocation of certain insurance recoveries to the Asbestos Trust, as provided below, Debtors and Reorganized Debtors shall retain ownership of all Asbestos Insurance Rights, including their rights to seek reimbursement for their contributions to the Asbestos Trust under the Plan. Exhibit E in the Exhibit Book identifies the Asbestos Insurance Entities that are Asbestos Protected Parties. Subject to the terms set forth in this Section 7.3.10, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors shall have the sole right to assert, and the sole discretion to compromise and settle, Asbestos Insurance Actions or any other Asbestos Insurance Rights, as well as compromise or settle with any Successor Entity. In connection with any such compromise or settlement with an Asbestos Insurance Entity or Successor Entity before entry of the Confirmation Order, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors will, subject to the right of the Asbestos Claimants Committee and FCR set forth below in this Section 7.3.10, add such Asbestos Insurance Entity to Exhibit E and/or Successor Entity to Exhibit D and thereby designate such Asbestos Insurance Entity as an Asbestos Protected Party pursuant to Section 1.1.21(f) hereof and/or such Successor Entity as an Asbestos Protected Party pursuant to Section 1.1.21(e) hereof. The Asbestos Claimants Committee and FCR shall each have the right to object to any addition of an Asbestos Insurance Entity to Exhibit E or Successor Entity to Exhibit D if they reasonably believe in good faith that (a) the terms of such compromise or settlement, (b) the addition of such Asbestos Insurance Entity to Exhibit E or Successor Entity to Exhibit D, or (c) the extension of the Asbestos Channeling Injunction to such Asbestos Insurance Entity or Successor Entity would (i) result in the channeling or transfer to, or assumption by, the Asbestos Trust of any Claims, Demands, duties, obligations, or liabilities (A) that are not Asbestos Claims or Asbestos Trust Expenses or (B) that are not otherwise contemplated to be the responsibility of the Asbestos Trust under this Plan; or (ii) result in or impose undue burden or expense on the administration of the Asbestos Trust or the Asbestos Trust Assets. Before making any such addition to Exhibit D or Exhibit E, the Debtors shall disclose to the FCR and the Asbestos Claimants Committee the terms of the underlying compromise or settlement and sufficient information concerning the relevant Asbestos Insurance Entity or Successor Entity to enable the FCR and the Asbestos Claimants Committee to evaluate the proposed addition under the criteria specified in the preceding sentence. The Bankruptcy Court will hear and determine any such objection. Upon being added to Exhibit E or Exhibit D, any such Asbestos Insurance Entity or Successor Entity will receive the benefits and protections of an Asbestos Protected Party under the Asbestos Channeling Injunction.
Any recovery by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors of settlements or judgments related to Asbestos Insurance Policies shall be for their own account except that Coltec’s recoveries from any Additional Coltec Insurer and/or from any Successor Entity on account of (1) the Additional Coltec Insurance or (2) any claim held by Coltec against a Successor Entity for indemnification, reimbursement, contribution, subrogation, or similar relief that is based on or attributable to a Coltec Asbestos Claim or that arises from any of Coltec’s contributions to the Asbestos Trust (hereinafter, “Coltec Indemnification Claim”) shall be allocated between the Asbestos Trust and Coltec as follows: Coltec shall retain all recoveries up to the first $25 million and fifty percent (50%) of recoveries in excess of the first $25 million and shall contribute to the Asbestos Trust (or have contributed directly to the Asbestos Trust) fifty percent (50%) of recoveries in excess of the first $25 million. The calculation of Coltec’s recoveries for purposes of this allocation shall include amounts that

33




are (i) payments by SPX Corporation or Fairbanks Morse Pump Corporation to Coltec under the Amended and Restated Settlement Agreement Among the Coltec Parties, SPX and FMPC less (ii) any payment reductions or reimbursements provided for under paragraphs III.5, III.6, and III.7 of that Settlement Agreement. Upon receiving any recovery on account of the Additional Coltec Insurance or Coltec Indemnification Claim, Coltec shall provide the Asbestos Trust with reasonably prompt written notice of the date, amount, and source of the recovery. Furthermore, Coltec shall provide the Asbestos Trust with a recap of any and all such recoveries at least annually, commencing on December 31 of the year in which the Effective Date occurs, for so long as Coltec’s efforts to monetize any such Additional Coltec Insurance or Coltec Indemnification Claim are continuing.
As set forth in Section 12.2 of the CRP, the Asbestos Trust shall provide to Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, or any settling Asbestos Insurance Entity, certain information reasonably relating to Asbestos Claims submitted to and accepted and paid by the Asbestos Trust. Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, and their Affiliates shall not be excused from timely paying the Deferred Contribution to the Asbestos Trust because of (a) any Asbestos Insurance Entity’s refusal to indemnify, reimburse, or pay Debtors or Reorganized Debtors on account of any Claim submitted to and accepted and paid by the Asbestos Trust or (b) the Asbestos Trust’s alleged failure to produce, or provide access to, the data and other information described in this paragraph.

7.16
INSURANCE NEUTRALITY
(a)    Nothing in this Plan, any of the Plan Documents, or the Confirmation Order (including any other provision that purports to be preemptory or supervening), shall in any way operate to impair, or have the effect of impairing, the legal, equitable or contractual rights, if any, of any Asbestos Insurance Entity or any policyholder, including the Debtors or their Affiliates, under any Asbestos Insurance Policy or Asbestos Insurance Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided herein, on the Effective Date, all Claims (including Plan Claims, Asbestos Claims, and Disallowed Claims) against GST, Garrison, and Coltec, the Reorganized Debtors, or their Estates, assets, properties, or interests in property (the “Discharged Debtors”) shall be discharged to the fullest extent permitted by law, regardless whether any such Claim is reduced to judgment or not, liquidated or unliquidated, contingent or non-contingent, asserted or unasserted, fixed or not, matured or unmatured, disputed or undisputed, legal or equitable, known or unknown, that arose from any agreement of the

42




Discharged Debtor entered into or obligation of the Discharged Debtor incurred before the Confirmation Date, or from any conduct of the Discharged Debtor prior to the Effective Date, or that otherwise arose before the Effective Date, whether or not (i) a proof of claim was filed with respect to such Claim, (ii) such Claim is allowed under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (iii) the Holder of such Claim has accepted the Plan, and including, without limitation, all interest, if any, on any such Claims, whether such interest accrued before or after the Petition Date.
The Reorganized Debtors shall not be responsible for any obligations of the Debtors or the Debtors in Possession except those expressly assumed by the Reorganized Debtors pursuant to this Plan. All Entities shall be precluded and forever barred from asserting against the Discharged Debtors or their assets, properties, or interests in property any other or further Claims or Plan Claims based upon any act or omission, transaction, or other activity, event, or occurrence of any kind or nature that occurred prior to the Effective Date, whether or not the facts of or legal bases therefor were known or existed prior to the Effective Date, except as expressly provided in this Plan.
With respect to any debts and liabilities discharged by operation of law under Sections 524(a) and 1141(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, the discharge of the Discharged Debtors operates as an injunction against the commencement or continuation of an action, the employment of process, or an act, to collect, recover, or offset any such debt as a personal liability of the Discharged Debtors, whether or not the discharge of such debt is waived; provided, however, that the obligations and duties of the Reorganized Debtors under this Plan or any Plan Document are not so discharged.

Non-Dischargeable ERISA Liability
Nothing contained in this Plan, the Confirmation Order, the Bankruptcy Code (including Section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code), or any other document Filed in the Chapter 11 Cases shall be construed to discharge, release or relieve the Debtors, or any other party, in any capacity, from any liability or responsibility to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) with respect to any pension plans under any law, governmental policy, or regulatory provision. The PBGC shall not be enjoined or precluded from enforcing such liability or responsibility, as a result of any of the provisions of this Plan (including those provisions providing for exculpation, satisfaction, release, and discharge of Claims), the Confirmation Order, the Bankruptcy Code (including Section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code), or any other document Filed in the Chapter 11 Cases. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the PBGC nor any other Entity shall assert any liability or responsibility with respect to any pension plans under any law, governmental policy or regulatory provisions against, and such liability or responsibility shall not attach to, the Asbestos Trust or any of the Asbestos Trust Assets.
8.2
THE ASBESTOS CHANNELING INJUNCTION
In order to supplement, where necessary, the injunctive effect of the discharge provided by Sections 1141(d), 524(a), and 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and as described in Section 8.1 hereof, and pursuant to the exercise of the equitable jurisdiction and power of the Court under Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, as supplemented by Section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Confirmation Order shall provide for issuance of the Asbestos Channeling Injunction to take effect on the Effective Date.
8.2.1
Asbestos Channeling Injunction

Without limiting the foregoing and except as provided in Section 8.5 hereof, from and after the Effective Date, the Asbestos Channeling Injunction shall apply to all present and future Holders of Asbestos Claims, and all such Holders shall be permanently and forever stayed, restrained, and enjoined from taking any and all legal or other actions or making any Claim or Demand against any Asbestos Protected Party, or any property or interest in property of any Asbestos Protected Party (including distributions made pursuant to the Plan), for the purpose of, directly or indirectly, claiming, collecting, recovering, or receiving any payment, recovery, satisfaction, or any other relief whatsoever on, of, or with respect to any Asbestos Claim, other than from the Asbestos Trust in accordance with the Asbestos Channeling Injunction and pursuant to the CRP, including:

commencing, conducting, or continuing in any manner, directly or indirectly, any suit, action, or other proceeding (including a judicial, arbitration, administrative, or other proceeding) in any forum against or affecting any Asbestos Protected Party, or any property or interest in property of any Asbestos Protected Party, on account of any Asbestos Claim;
b)
enforcing, levying, attaching (including any prejudgment attachment), collecting, or otherwise recovering by any means or in any manner, whether directly or indirectly, any judgment, award, decree, or other order against any Asbestos Protected Party, or any property or interest in property of any Asbestos Protected Party, on account of any Asbestos Claim;

From and after the Effective Date, the Asbestos Trust shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law each of the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, and other Asbestos Protected Parties from and against any and all losses (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses) that occur after the Effective Date and are based on, arise from, or are attributable to any Asbestos Claim; provided, however, that the Asbestos Trust will have no duty to protect, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, and other Asbestos Protected Parties from any such losses that are based on, arise from, or are attributable to any of the following losses or expenses regardless of when they are incurred or paid:
(a)    any Foreign Asbestos Claim, unless the Foreign Asbestos Claim is filed, asserted, or sought to be enforced in or before any court or tribunal within the judicial system of the United States;
(b)    any payment or other form of consideration made, or to be made, by or on behalf of any Entity (including any Asbestos Insurance Entity, former Affiliate of a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, or Successor Entity) (1) in connection with any compromise or settlement within the scope of Section 7.3.10 hereof, or (2) to receive or obtain the benefits or status of an Asbestos Protected Party under this Plan or the protection of the Asbestos Channeling Injunction; or
(c)    any costs or expenses (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees) incurred by or on behalf of

47




(i)    a Debtor, a Reorganized Debtor, or any Affiliate thereof, to obtain proceeds or recovery on account of, or to enforce (A) any of the Asbestos Insurance Rights, or (B) any right or claim for indemnification, reimbursement, contribution, subrogation, or similar relief against any Entity (including any Asbestos Insurance Entity or Successor Entity) based on contributions made by the Debtors to the Asbestos Trust;
(ii)    any Entity (including an Asbestos Insurance Entity or Successor Entity) in connection with (A) objecting to or opposing confirmation of the Plan, or (B) seeking to receive or obtain the benefits or status of an Asbestos Protected Party under this Plan or the protection of the Asbestos Channeling Injunction; or
(iii)    any Asbestos Insurance Entity or Successor Entity with respect to costs or expenses incurred while it is not listed as an Asbestos Protected Party.
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan Documents to the contrary, the Asbestos Trust also will have no duty to protect, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Travelers Casualty and Surety Company and The Travelers Indemnity Company (as successors to The Aetna Casualty and Surety Company).

In addition, on the Effective Date, the Asbestos Trust shall assume the Debtors’ indemnification obligations to the “Indemnified Parties” identified in paragraph 5 of the Bankruptcy Court’s Order Granting Debtors’ Motion for Appointment of Joseph W. Grier, III as Future Asbestos Claimants’ Representative (Docket No. 512), entered September 16, 2010, and upon such assumption the Debtors will be released from such obligations.
If there shall be pending any claim against the Asbestos Trust for indemnification under this Section 8.4.7, the Asbestos Trust shall maintain sufficient assets (as determined in good faith by the Asbestos Trustee) to fund any payments in respect of that claim for indemnification. The Reorganized Debtors shall provide prompt notice to the Asbestos Trust upon becoming aware of the basis for any claim for indemnification under this Section 8.4.7.
8.5

For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, nothing contained in this Plan, any Plan Document, the Confirmation Order, the Bankruptcy Code (including Section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code), or any other document Filed in the Chapter 11 Cases shall be construed to discharge, enjoin, release, or channel to the Asbestos Trust any liability or obligation of a non-Debtor Entity not derived from that of a Debtor, including, without limitation, any independent liability of a non-Debtor Entity that is not an Affiliate of, successor of, successor-in-interest to, merger partner of, or transferor of assets to a Debtor as of the Petition Date.

ARTICLE 9
EXECUTORY CONTRACTS, UNEXPIRED LEASES, LETTERS OF CREDIT, SURETY BONDS, COMPENSATION, INDEMNITY AND BENEFIT PROGRAMS
9.1
ASSUMPTION OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES
9.1.1
Assumption Generally
Except for (i) executory contracts and unexpired leases that the Debtors reject prior to the Effective Date or designate (on a list set forth in Exhibit G in the Exhibit Book) as being subject to rejection in connection with the Effective Date; and (ii) agreements, to the extent executory, that create an obligation of the Debtors to reimburse or indemnify third parties with respect to Asbestos Claims (or any other asbestos personal injury claims that would qualify as an Asbestos Claim if they were asserted directly against an Asbestos Protected Party) and that are not listed on Exhibit O in the Exhibit Book (in the case of this clause (ii), “Automatically Rejected Contracts”), all executory contracts and unexpired leases (including all Asbestos Insurance Policies and related settlements or other agreements, to the extent they are executory) not previously assumed by the Debtors pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed to have been assumed by the Reorganized Debtors on the Effective Date, and this Plan shall constitute a motion to assume such executory contracts and unexpired leases as of the Effective Date. The contracts so assumed include but are not limited to the Settlement Agreement Concerning Environmental Claims Between Coltec Industries Inc. and Zurich Insurance Company (effective August 5, 2004).
For the avoidance of doubt, any Claim against a Debtor that is based on an agreement assumed in accordance with Section 9.1 of this Plan, including those agreements listed on Exhibit O in the Exhibit Book, shall be an Administrative Expense Claim and shall not be a liability or obligation of the Asbestos Trust, and any rights of the Debtors arising under such assumed agreements shall not be Asbestos Trust Causes of Action.
9.1.2
Assumption Procedures
Pursuant to the terms of the Non-Asbestos Bar Date Order and Bankruptcy Rule 3002(c)(4), and excepting all Automatically Rejected Contracts (as discussed in Section 9.1.3) or as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, a proof of claim for each Claim arising from the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease pursuant to this Plan or otherwise shall be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court within thirty (30) days of the later of: (i) the date of the entry of an order, prior to the Confirmation Date, approving such rejection, (ii) the Confirmation Date, or (iii) service of notice of rejection if such party is an affected party as described above. Any Claims not Filed within such applicable time period shall be forever barred from assertion. All Allowed Claims for damages arising from the rejection of such an executory contract or unexpired lease shall be included in Class 6 or Class 7 (as appropriate) and shall be treated in accordance with Sections 3.1.6 and 3.1.7 herein.
Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute express approval of the assumption of the executory contracts and unexpired leases described in Section 9.1.1 pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that each such assumption is in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, and all parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases.
With respect to each such executory contract or unexpired lease assumed by the Reorganized Debtors, unless otherwise determined by the Court pursuant to a Final Order or agreed to by the parties thereto prior

49




to the Effective Date, any defaults of the Debtors with respect to such assumed executory contracts or leases existing as of the Effective Date shall be cured in the ordinary course of the Reorganized Debtors’ business promptly after any such default becomes known to the Debtors and, if the cure amount is disputed, such cure amount shall be established pursuant to applicable law, and the assumed executory contracts or leases shall be binding upon and enforceable upon the parties thereto, subject to any rights and defenses existing thereunder. Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, upon payment of such cure amount, all defaults of the Debtors existing as of the Confirmation Date with respect to such executory contract or unexpired lease shall be deemed cured.
Executory contracts and unexpired leases previously assumed by the Debtors during the case pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be governed by and subject to the provisions of the order of the Court authorizing the assumption thereof.
9.1.3
Rejection of Certain Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
On the Effective Date, each executory contract and unexpired lease listed on Exhibit G in the Exhibit Book shall be rejected pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. Each contract and lease listed on Exhibit G shall be rejected only to the extent that such contract or lease constitutes an executory contract or unexpired lease. Listing a contract or lease on Exhibit G shall not constitute an admission by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors that such contract or lease is an executory contract or unexpired lease or that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors have any liability thereunder. Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such rejection pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that each such rejection is in the best interests of the Debtors, their estates, and all parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases.
The Debtors shall have the right until ten (10) days prior to the Effective Date to modify the list of rejected contracts included in Exhibit G in the Exhibit Book to add executory contracts or leases or remove executory contracts or leases, provided that the Debtors shall file a notice with the Bankruptcy Court and serve each affected party with such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such affected parties shall not be entitled to any Administrative Expense Claim for any executory contracts or leases added to the list of rejected contracts and will only be entitled to a Claim for rejection damages.
To the extent executory, all Automatically Rejected Contracts shall be deemed rejected by operation of entry of the Confirmation Order, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, unless expressly identified as assumed on Exhibit O in the Exhibit Book. Agreements listed on Exhibit O shall be deemed to have been assumed by the Reorganized Debtors on the Effective Date, and such assumption shall be governed by Section 9.1.2 above. In addition, the identification as Asbestos Protected Parties of the AIG-related Companies (American Home Assurance Company, AIU Insurance Company, Granite State Insurance Company, Insurance Company of the State of Pennsylvania, National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA, and Lexington Insurance Company, and their parent corporations, divisions, assigns, predecessors and successors, and their shareholders, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents and representatives) shall not relieve such companies of their remaining obligations under the Settlement Agreement dated December 21, 2006 by and between Coltec Industries Inc and EnPro Industries, Inc., on the one hand; and American Home Assurance Company, AIU Insurance Company, Granite State Insurance Company, Insurance Company of the State of Pennsylvania, National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA, and Lexington Insurance Company.

50




Except with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of an Automatically Rejected Contract, all Claims for damages arising from the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease shall be included in Class 6 or Class 7 (as appropriate) and shall be treated in accordance with Sections 3.1.6 or 3.1.7 herein. All Claims for damages arising from the rejection of an Automatically Rejected Contract shall be included in Class 5 and shall be treated in accordance with Section 3.1.5 herein.
9.2
LETTERS OF CREDIT AND SURETY BONDS
All letters of credit and surety bonds on account of Non-Asbestos Plan Claims will remain in place and become obligations of the Reorganized Debtors. Claims arising under letters of credit and surety bonds issued or provided on account of Asbestos Claims will be treated as Asbestos Claims and will be channeled to the Asbestos Trust.
Nothing in Article 9 shall constitute a reinstatement, continuation, or assumption by the Reorganized Debtors of any warranty provision, guaranty, or any other contractual or other obligation, Demand, or Plan Claim to the extent that the Plan Claim, Demand, or obligation constitutes an Asbestos Claim.
9.3
COMPENSATION, INDEMNITY AND BENEFIT PROGRAM
9.3.1
Employee Benefits
From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors intend to continue their existing employee compensation, indemnity agreements, and benefit plans, programs, and policies, and to cure any defaults that may exist under such agreements, plans, programs, and policies, including payment of the Debtors’ voluntary supplemental pension payments which were limited during the pendency of these Chapter 11 Cases, subject to any rights to amend, modify, or terminate such benefits under the terms of the applicable compensation and benefit plan, other agreement, or applicable nonbankruptcy law.
9.3.2
Retiree Benefits
From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors intend to continue to pay retiree benefits (as defined in Section 1114(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) and any similar health, disability, or death benefits in accordance with the terms of the retiree benefit plans or other agreements governing the payment of such benefits, subject to any rights to amend, modify, or terminate such benefits under the terms of the applicable retiree benefits plan, other agreement, or applicable nonbankruptcy law.
9.3.3
Workers’ Compensation Benefits
From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may continue to pay valid Workers’ Compensation Claims in accordance with applicable nonbankruptcy law, subject to any rights to amend, modify, or terminate such benefits pursuant to applicable nonbankruptcy law.

AUTHORITY OF THE DEBTORS

11.2
PAYMENT OF STATUTORY FEES
All fees payable pursuant to Section 1930 of title 28 of the United States Code, as determined by the Court at the hearing on confirmation of this Plan, shall be paid by the Debtors on or before the Effective Date.
11.3
RETAINED CAUSES OF ACTION
11.3.1
Maintenance of Causes of Action
Nothing in this Section 11.3 of this Plan shall be deemed to be a transfer by the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors of any claims, causes of action, or defenses relating to assumed executory contracts

54




or otherwise which are required by the Reorganized Debtors to conduct their businesses in the ordinary course subsequent to the Effective Date. Moreover, except as otherwise expressly released by this Plan or other Plan Documents (including the express releases of claims contained in Section 8.4 hereof), from and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have and retain any and all rights to commence and pursue any and all claims, causes of action, including the Retained Causes of Action, or defenses against any parties, other Claimants and Holders of Equity Interests, whether such causes of action accrued before or after the Petition Date.
The Reorganized Debtors shall retain and may exclusively enforce any and all such claims, rights, or causes of action, including Retained Causes of Action, and commence, pursue, and settle the causes of action in accordance with this Plan. The Reorganized Debtors shall have the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to institute, prosecute, abandon, settle, or compromise any and all such claims, rights, and causes of action, including Retained Causes of Action, without the consent or approval of any third party and without any further order of the Court.
11.3.2
Preservation of All Causes of Action Not Expressly Settled or Released
Unless a claim or cause of action against a Claimant or other Entity is expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised, or settled pursuant to this Plan or any Final Order (including the releases contained in Section 8.4 hereof), the Debtors expressly reserve such claim or Retained Cause of Action (including any unknown causes of action) for later adjudication by the Reorganized Debtors. Any causes of action of any Debtors among the Asbestos Insurance Rights are expressly retained by the Reorganized Debtors and are among the Retained Causes of Action. Therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, waiver, estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise), or laches shall apply to such claims or Retained Causes of Action upon or after the Confirmation Date or Effective Date of this Plan based on the Disclosure Statement, this Plan, or the Confirmation Order, except where such claims or Retained Causes of Action have been released in this Plan or other Final Order. In addition, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and the successor entities under this Plan expressly reserve the right to pursue or adopt any claim alleged in any lawsuit in which the Debtors are defendants or an interested party, against any Entity, including the plaintiffs or codefendants in such lawsuits; provided, however, that the foregoing reservations of rights shall not apply to any GST Recovery Action or to any Retained Cause of Action that is expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised, or settled by this Plan or by any Final Order.
Any Entity to whom the Debtors have incurred an obligation (whether on account of services, purchase or sale of goods or otherwise), or who has received services from the Debtors or a transfer of money or property of the Debtors, or who has transacted business with the Debtors, or leased equipment or property from the Debtors should assume, unless expressly released by this Plan, that such obligation, transfer, or transaction may be reviewed by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, and may, if appropriate, be the subject of an action after the Effective Date, whether or not (i) such Entity has filed a proof of claim against the Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases; (ii) such Claimant’s proof of claim has been objected to; (iii) such Claimant’s Claim was included in the Debtors’ Schedules; or (iv) such Claimant’s scheduled Claim has been objected to by the Debtors or has been identified by the Debtors as a Disputed Claim, a Contingent Claim, or an Unliquidated Claim.
11.4
THIRD-PARTY AGREEMENTS
The Distributions to the various Classes of Plan Claims hereunder, other than Distributions to the Asbestos Trust, will not affect the right of any Entity to levy, garnish, attach, or employ any other legal

55




process with respect to such Distributions by reason of any claimed subordination rights or otherwise. All of such rights and any agreements relating thereto will remain in full force and effect.
11.5
PRESERVATION OF POLICE AND REGULATORY POWERS
Nothing in this Plan or in any Plan Document shall preclude or impair a Governmental Unit from enforcing its police or regulatory powers.
11.6
DISSOLUTION OF THE UNSECURED CREDITORS COMMITTEE AND THE ASBESTOS CLAIMANTS COMMITTEE
Effective on the Effective Date, except as set forth below, the Asbestos Claimants Committee and the Unsecured Creditors Committee shall be released and discharged of and from all further authority, duties, responsibilities, and obligations relating to or arising from or in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, and those committees shall be deemed dissolved.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Effective Date occurs prior to the entry of a Final Order with respect to final applications of Professionals for allowance and payment of Fee Claims, the Unsecured Creditors Committee and the Asbestos Claimants Committee may, at their option, continue to serve with respect to those proceedings exclusively until a Final Order is entered with respect to such proceedings. Additionally, effective as of the Effective Date, the CAC shall succeed to, and exclusively hold, the attorney-client privilege and any other privilege held by the Asbestos Claimants Committee and shall enjoy the work product protections that were applicable or available to the Asbestos Claimants Committee before its dissolution.
11.7
EXCULPATION
None of the Reorganized Debtors, the Debtors, the Reorganization-Involved Affiliates, the FCR, the Asbestos Claimants Committee (including each of its members and their respective counsel), the Unsecured Creditors Committee, the Ad Hoc Coltec Future Asbestos Claimants’ Representative, the Ad Hoc Coltec Asbestos Claimants Committee (including each of its members and their respective counsel), or any of their respective Representatives (the “Exculpated Parties”) are to have or incur any liability to any Entity for any act or omission in connection with or arising out of the Chapter 11 Cases, including the administration of the Estates during the entirety of the Chapter 11 Cases, any work in connection with any plan of reorganization or proceedings in the Chapter 11 Cases, conduct during any contested matter in the Chapter 11 Cases, negotiation of this Plan or the settlements contained therein, the pursuit of confirmation of this Plan, the consummation of this Plan or the settlements provided therein, or the administration of this Plan or the property to be distributed under this Plan so long as, in each case such action, or failure to act, did not constitute willful misconduct or lack of good faith; provided, however, that nothing herein shall exculpate, bar, or shield the Exculpated Parties from any Fee Dispute Remedy and nothing herein shall exculpate, bar, or shield the Exculpated Parties from any liability for failure to perform their obligations under the Plan Documents on or after the Effective Date. In all respects, the Exculpated Parties will be entitled to rely upon the advice of counsel and financial and other experts or professionals employed by them with respect to their duties and responsibilities under this Plan, and such reliance shall conclusively establish good faith. Any act or omission taken with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court will be conclusively deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or lack of good faith. In any suit alleging willful misconduct or lack of good faith, the reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of the prevailing party shall be paid by the losing party, and, as a condition of going forward with such action, suit, or proceeding, at the onset thereof, all parties thereto shall be required to provide appropriate proof and assurances of their capacity to make such payments of reasonable attorney’s

56




fees and costs in the event they fail to prevail. Pursuant to its authority under Bankruptcy Code Section 105(a), in the Confirmation Order, the Court will enter an injunction permanently enjoining commencement or continuation in any manner, any suit, action, or other proceeding, on account of or respecting any claim, obligation, debt, right, cause of action, remedy, or liability included within this exculpation clause.
11.8
ENTIRE AGREEMENT
Except as otherwise indicated, the Plan and the Plan Documents supersede all prior negotiations, promises, covenants, agreements, understandings, and representations on such subjects, including all plans of reorganization previously filed by any party in interest with the Court in these Chapter 11 Cases.

WHEREAS, the Bankruptcy Court has determined that the Settlement Facility and the Plan satisfy all the prerequisites for an injunction pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any and all Claims, and such injunction has been entered in connection with the Confirmation Order;
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

2




SECTION I
AGREEMENT OF TRUST
1.1    Creation and Name. The Debtors as Settlors hereby create a trust known as the “GST Settlement Facility,” which is the Settlement Facility provided for and referred to in the Plan. The Trustee of the Settlement Facility may transact the business and affairs of the Settlement Facility in the name of the Settlement Facility, and references herein to the Settlement Facility shall include the Trustee acting on behalf of the Settlement Facility. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the trust created hereby constitute a statutory trust under Chapter 38 of title 12 of the Delaware Code, 12 Del. C. § 3801 et seq. (the “Act”) and that this document, together with the bylaws described herein, constitute the governing instruments of the Settlement Facility. The Trustee and the Delaware Trustee are hereby authorized and directed to execute and file a Certificate of Trust with the Delaware Secretary of State in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.
1.2    Purpose. The purpose of the Settlement Facility is to assume all liabilities and responsibility for all Claims, and, among other things to: (a) direct the processing, liquidation and payment of all Claims in accordance with the Plan, the CRP, and the Confirmation Order; (b) preserve, hold, manage, and maximize the assets of the Settlement Facility for use in paying and satisfying Claims; and (c) qualify at all times as a qualified settlement fund. The Settlement Facility is to use its assets and income to pay the holders of all Claims in accordance with this Settlement Facility Agreement and the CRP in such a way that holders of Claims are treated fairly, equitably, and reasonably in light of the finite assets available to satisfy such claims, and to otherwise comply in all respects with the requirements of a trust set forth in section 524(g)(2)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code.
1.3    Transfer of Assets. Pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 7.3.2 of the Plan, the Settlement Facility will receive the Initial Asbestos Trust Assets on the day immediately preceding the Effective Date. The Asbestos Trust Assets and any other assets to be transferred to the Settlement Facility under the Plan will be transferred to the Settlement Facility free and clear of any liens or other claims by the

3




Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, any creditor, interest holder, insurer or other entity except as otherwise provided in the Plan. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall also execute and deliver such documents to the Settlement Facility as the Trustee may reasonably request to transfer and assign any Asbestos Trust Assets to the Settlement Facility.
1.4    Acceptance of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities.
(a)    In furtherance of the purposes of the Settlement Facility, the Settlement Facility hereby expressly accepts the transfer to the Settlement Facility of the Asbestos Trust Assets and any other transfers contemplated by the Plan in the time and manner as, and subject to the terms, contemplated in the Plan.
(b)    In furtherance of the purposes of the Settlement Facility, the Settlement Facility expressly assumes all liabilities and responsibility for all Claims, and the Reorganized Debtors shall have no further financial or other responsibility or liability therefor. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Settlement Facility Agreement and the CRP, the Settlement Facility shall have all defenses, cross-claims, offsets, and recoupments, as well as rights of indemnification, contribution, subrogation, and similar rights, regarding such claims that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors have or would have had under applicable law. Regardless of the foregoing, however, a claimant must meet otherwise applicable federal, state and foreign statutes of limitations and repose, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.3 of the CRP.
(c)No provision herein or in the CRP shall be construed or implemented in a manner that would cause the Settlement Facility to fail to qualify as a “qualified settlement fund” under the QSF Regulations.
(d)Nothing in this Settlement Facility Agreement shall be construed in any way to limit (i) the scope, enforceability, or effectiveness of the Asbestos Channeling Injunction or any other injunction or release issued or granted in favor of any (or all) Asbestos Protected Parties in connection with the Plan or (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 1.4(b) above, the Settlement Facility’s assumption of all liability for Claims.

4




(e)To the extent that anything in this Settlement Facility Agreement conflicts with the CRP the CRP shall control.

SECTION III
ACCOUNTS, INVESTMENTS, AND PAYMENTS
3.1    Accounts.
(a)    The Trustee may, from time to time, create such accounts and reserves within the Settlement Facility estate as he or she may deem necessary, prudent, or useful in order to provide for the payment of expenses and payment of Claims and may, with respect to any such account or reserve, restrict the use of monies therein.
(b)    The Trustee shall include a reasonably detailed description of the creation of any account or reserve in accordance with this Section 3.1 and, with respect to any such account, the transfers made to such account, the proceeds of or earnings on the assets held in each such account and the payments from each such account in the accounts to be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and provided to the CAC and the FCR pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(i) above.

12




3.2    Investments. Investment of monies held in the Settlement Facility shall be administered in the manner consistent with the standards set forth in the Uniform Prudent Investor Act, subject to the following limitations and provisions:
(a)    The Settlement Facility may invest in equity securities only through diversified equity portfolios whose benchmark is a broad equity market index such as, but not limited to, the S&P 500 Index, Russell 1000 Index, S&P ADR Index or MSCI EAFE Index. The Settlement Facility shall not acquire, directly or indirectly, equity in any entity (other than Reorganized GST or Reorganized Garrison or any successor thereto) or business enterprise if, immediately following such acquisition, the Settlement Facility would hold more than 5% of the equity in such entity or business enterprise. The Settlement Facility shall not hold, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the equity in any entity or business enterprise, excluding a Reorganized GST or Reorganized Garrison or any successor thereto.
(b)    The Settlement Facility shall not acquire or hold any long-term debt securities unless (i) such securities are Asbestos Trust Assets under the Plan, (ii) such securities are rated “Baa” or higher by Moody’s, “BBB” or higher by Standard & Poor’s (“S&P’s”), or have been given an equivalent investment grade rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating agency, or (iii) such securities have been issued or fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof. This restriction does not apply to any pooled investment vehicles where pooled assets receive an investment grade rating by a nationally recognized rating agency.
(c)    The Settlement Facility shall not acquire or hold for longer than ninety (90) days any commercial paper unless such commercial paper is rated “Prime‑1” or higher by Moody’s or “A‑1” or higher by S&P’s, or has been given an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating agency.
(d)    The Settlement Facility shall not acquire any debt securities or other debt instruments issued by any entity if, following such acquisition, the aggregate market value of all such debt securities and/or other debt instruments issued by such entity held by the Settlement Facility would exceed 5% of the

13




then current aggregate value of the Settlement Facility’s assets. There is no limitation on holding debt securities or other debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof.
(e)    The Settlement Facility shall not acquire or hold any certificates of deposit unless all publicly held, long-term debt securities, if any, of the financial institution issuing the certificate of deposit and the holding company, if any, of which such financial institution is a subsidiary, meet the standards set forth in Section 3.2(b) above.
(f)    The Settlement Facility shall not acquire or hold any repurchase obligations unless, in the opinion of the Trustee, they are adequately collateralized.
(g)    The Settlement Facility may allow its investment managers to acquire or hold derivative instruments prudently, including, without limitation, options, futures and swaps in the normal course of portfolio management. Specifically, the Settlement Facility may acquire or hold derivatives to help manage or mitigate portfolio risk, including, without limitation, interest rate risk and equity market risk. Using derivative instruments to leverage a portfolio to enhance returns (at a much greater risk to the portfolio) is prohibited.
(h)    The Settlement Facility may lend securities on a short-term basis, subject to adequate, normal and customary collateral arrangements, and all applicable federal and state regulations governing securities lending practices.
(i)    Notwithstanding (a) above, the Settlement Facility may acquire and hold an equity interest in a claims resolution organization without limitation as to the size of the equity interest acquired and held if prior to such acquisition, the Settlement Facility complies with the provisions of Section 2.2(f)(xiv) hereof with respect to the acquisition.
3.3    Source of Payments.
(a)    All Settlement Facility expenses and payments and all liabilities with respect to Claims shall be payable solely by the Trustee out of the Asbestos Trust Assets. Neither the Debtors or the

14

(a)    The Settlement Facility shall indemnify and defend the Trustee, the members of the CAC, the FCR and the FCR’s counsel in the performance of their duties hereunder to the fullest extent that a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware is entitled to indemnify and defend such persons against any and all liabilities, expenses, claims, damages or losses incurred by them in the

17




performance of their duties hereunder or in connection with activities undertaken by them prior to the Effective Date in connection with the formation, establishment or funding of the Settlement Facility. The Settlement Facility may indemnify any of the other Additional Indemnitees in the performance of their duties hereunder to the fullest extent that a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware is from time to time entitled to indemnify and defend such persons against any and all liabilities, expenses, claims, damages, or losses incurred by them in the performance of their duties hereunder or in connection with activities undertaken by them prior to the Effective Date in connection with the formation, establishment or funding of the Settlement Facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 4.6, no individual shall be indemnified or defended in any way for any liability, expense, claim, damage, or loss for which he or she is ultimately liable under Section 4.4 above.
(b)    Reasonable expenses, costs and fees (including attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by or on behalf of the Trustee, a member of the CAC, the FCR or an Additional Indemnitee in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, administrative or arbitrative, from which they are indemnified by the Settlement Facility pursuant to Section 4.6(a) above, shall be paid by the Settlement Facility in advance of the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the Trustee, the members of the CAC, the FCR or Additional Indemnitee, to repay such amount in the event that it shall be determined ultimately by final order that such Trustee, member of the CAC, FCR or Additional Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Settlement Facility.
(c)    The Trustee may purchase and maintain reasonable amounts and types of insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was the Trustee, member of the CAC, the FCR or Additional Indemnitee, including against liability asserted against or incurred by such individual in that capacity or arising from his or her status as the Trustee, member of the CAC, the FCR, an officer or an employee of the Settlement Facility, or an advisor, consultant or agent of the Settlement Facility, the CAC or the FCR.

18




Order Granting Debtors’ Motion for Appointment of Joseph W. Grier, III as Future Asbestos Claimants’ Representative (Docket No. 512), entered September 16, 2010, and upon such assumption the Debtors will be released of such obligations.

(a)    The Trustee may, but shall not be required to, retain and/or consult with counsel, accountants, appraisers, auditors, forecasters, experts, financial and investment advisors and such other parties deemed by the Trustee to be qualified as experts on the matters submitted to the Trustee (the “Settlement Facility Professionals”), and in the absence of gross negligence, the written opinion of or information provided by any such party deemed by the Trustee to be an expert on the particular matter submitted to such party shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or not taken by the Trustee hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the written opinion of or information provided by any such party.
(b)    The Delaware Trustee shall be permitted to retain counsel only in such circumstances as are required in the exercise of its duties hereunder, and its compliance with the advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection for actions taken or not taken by the Delaware Trustee in good faith in compliance with such advice.

19




The Trustee shall not act as an attorney for any person who holds an asbestos claim. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section shall not be applicable to the Delaware Trustee.
4.10    Bond. The Trustee and the Delaware Trustee shall not be required to post any bond or other form of surety or security unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.
4.11    Delaware Trustee.
(a)    There shall at all times be a Delaware Trustee. The Delaware Trustee shall either be (i) a natural person who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the State of Delaware or (ii) a legal entity that has its principal place of business in the State of Delaware, which otherwise meets the requirements of applicable Delaware law and shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind such entity. If at any time the Delaware Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.11, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in Section 4.11(c) below. For the avoidance of doubt, the Delaware Trustee will only have such rights and obligations as are expressly provided by reference to the Delaware Trustee hereunder.
(b)    The Delaware Trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any powers, nor shall the Delaware Trustee have any of the duties and responsibilities, of the Trustee set forth herein. The Delaware Trustee shall be one of the trustees of the Settlement Facility for the sole and limited purpose of fulfilling the requirements of Section 3807 of the Act and for taking such actions as are required to be taken by a Delaware Trustee under the Act. The duties (including fiduciary duties), liabilities and obligations of the Delaware Trustee shall be limited to (i) accepting legal process served on the Settlement Facility in the State of Delaware and (ii) executing of any certificates required to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware that the Delaware Trustee is required to execute under Section 3811 of the Act. There shall be no other duties (including fiduciary duties) or obligations, express or implied, at law or in equity, of the Delaware Trustee.
(c)    The Delaware Trustee shall serve until such time as the Trustee removes the Delaware Trustee or the Delaware Trustee resigns and a successor Delaware Trustee is appointed by the

20




Trustee in accordance with the terms of Section 4.11(d) below. The Delaware Trustee may resign at any time upon the giving of at least sixty (60) days advance written notice to the Trustee; provided, that such resignation shall not become effective unless and until a successor Delaware Trustee shall have been appointed by the Trustee in accordance with Section 4.11(d) below. If the Trustee does not act within such 60-day period, the Delaware Trustee may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for the appointment of a successor Delaware Trustee.
(d)    Upon the resignation or removal of the Delaware Trustee, the Trustee shall appoint a successor Delaware Trustee by delivering a written instrument to the outgoing Delaware Trustee. Any successor Delaware Trustee must satisfy the requirements of Section 3807 of the Act. Any resignation or removal of the Delaware Trustee and appointment of a successor Delaware Trustee shall not become effective until a written acceptance of appointment is delivered by the successor Delaware Trustee to the outgoing Delaware Trustee and the Trustee and any fees and expenses due to the outgoing Delaware Trustee are paid. Following compliance with the preceding sentence, the successor Delaware Trustee shall become fully vested with all of the rights, powers, duties and obligations of the outgoing Delaware Trustee under this Settlement Facility Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Delaware Trustee, and the outgoing Delaware Trustee shall be discharged of its duties and obligations under this Settlement Facility Agreement.
4.12    Medicare Obligations.
(a)    It is the position of the parties to this Settlement Facility Agreement that the Asbestos Protected Parties will have no reporting obligations in respect of their contributions to the Settlement Facility, or in respect of any payments, settlements, resolutions, awards, or other claim liquidations by the Settlement Facility, under the reporting provisions of 42 U.S.C. §1395y et seq. or any other similar statute or regulation, and any related rules, regulations, or guidance issued in connection therewith or relating thereto (“MSPA”), including Section 111 of the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 (P. L. 110-173), or any other similar statute or regulation, and any related rules, regulations, or guidance issued in connection therewith or relating thereto (“MMSEA”). Unless and until there is definitive regulatory, legislative, or

21




judicial authority (as embodied in a final non-appealable decision from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit or the United States Supreme Court), or a letter from the Secretary of Health and Human Services confirming that the Asbestos Protected Parties have no reporting obligations under MMSEA with respect to any settlements, payments, or other awards made by the Settlement Facility or with respect to contributions the Asbestos Protected Parties have made or will make to the Settlement Facility, the Settlement Facility shall, at its sole expense, in connection with the implementation of the Plan, act as a reporting agent for the Asbestos Protected Parties, and shall timely submit all reports that would be required to be made by any of the Asbestos Protected Parties under MMSEA on account of any claims settled, resolved, paid, or otherwise liquidated by the Settlement Facility or with respect to contributions to the Settlement Facility, including, but not limited to, reports that would be required if the Asbestos Protected Parties were otherwise found to have MMSEA reporting requirements. The Settlement Facility, in its role as reporting agent for the Asbestos Protected Parties, shall follow all applicable guidance published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services of the United States Department of Health and Human Services and/or any other agent or successor entity charged with responsibility for monitoring, assessing, or receiving reports made under MMSEA (collectively, “CMS”) to determine whether or not, and, if so, how, to report to CMS pursuant to MMSEA.
(b)    As long as the Settlement Facility is required to act as a reporting agent for any Asbestos Protected Party pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.12(a) above, the Settlement Facility shall within ten (10) business days following the end of each calendar quarter, provide a written certification to the party designated in writing by each Asbestos Protected Party for which the Settlement Facility is required to act as reporting agent, confirming that all reports to CMS required by Section 4.12(a) above have been submitted in a timely fashion, and identifying (i) any reports that were rejected or otherwise identified as noncompliant by CMS, along with the basis for such rejection or noncompliance, and (ii) any payments to Medicare benefits recipients or Medicare-eligible beneficiaries that the Settlement Facility did not report to CMS.

22




(c)    With respect to any reports rejected or otherwise identified as noncompliant by CMS, the Settlement Facility shall, upon request by an Asbestos Protected Party for which the Settlement Facility is required to act as reporting agent, promptly provide copies of the original reports submitted to CMS, as well as any response received from CMS with respect to such reports; provided, however, that the Settlement Facility may redact from such copies the names, Social Security numbers other than the last four digits, health insurance claim numbers, taxpayer identification numbers, employer identification numbers, mailing addresses, telephone numbers, and dates of birth of the injured parties, claimants, guardians, conservators and/or other personal representatives, as applicable. With respect to any such reports, the Settlement Facility shall reasonably undertake to remedy any issues of noncompliance identified by CMS and resubmit such reports to CMS, and, upon request by an Asbestos Protected Party, provide such Asbestos Protected Party with copies of such resubmissions; provided, however, that the Settlement Facility may redact from such copies the names, Social Security numbers other than the last four digits, health insurance claim numbers, taxpayer identification numbers, employer identification numbers, mailing addresses, telephone numbers, and dates of birth of the injured parties, claimants, guardians, conservators and/or other personal representatives, as applicable. In the event the Settlement Facility is unable to remedy any issues of noncompliance, the provisions of Section 4.12(g) below shall apply.
(d)    As long as the Settlement Facility is required to act as a reporting agent for an Asbestos Protected Party pursuant to Section 4.12(a) above, with respect to each claim of a Medicare benefits recipient or Medicare-eligible beneficiary that was paid by the Settlement Facility and not reported to CMS, the Settlement Facility shall, upon request by such Asbestos Protected Party, promptly provide the claimant’s name, last four digits of the claimant’s Social Security number, the year of the claimant’s birth, the claimants’ asbestos-related disease, and any other information that may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of such Asbestos Protected Party to satisfy its obligations, if any, under MMSEA, as well as the basis for the Settlement Facility’s failure to report the payment. In the event the Asbestos Protected Party informs the Settlement Facility that it disagrees with the Settlement Facility’s decision not to report a claim paid by the

23




Settlement Facility, the Settlement Facility shall promptly report the payment to CMS. All documentation relied upon by the Settlement Facility in making a determination that a payment did not have to be reported to CMS shall be maintained for a minimum of six years following such determination. The Asbestos Protected Parties shall keep any information and documents received from the Settlement Facility pursuant to this Section 4.12(d) confidential and shall not use such information for any purpose other than meeting obligations under MSPA and/or MMSEA.
(e)    As long as the Settlement Facility is required to act as a reporting agent for any Asbestos Protected Party pursuant to Section 4.12(a) above, the Settlement Facility shall make the reports and provide the certifications required by Section 4.12(a) and (b) above until such time as the Asbestos Protected Party shall determine, in its reasonable judgment, that it has no further legal obligation under MMSEA or otherwise to report any settlements, resolutions, payments, or liquidation determinations made by the Settlement Facility or contributions to the Settlement Facility. Furthermore, following any permitted cessation of reporting, or if reporting has not previously commenced due to the satisfaction of one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 4.12(a) above, and if the Asbestos Protected Party reasonably determines, based on subsequent legislative, administrative, regulatory, or judicial developments, that reporting is required, then the Settlement Facility shall promptly perform its obligations under Section 4.12(a) and (b) above.
(f)    Section 4.12(a) above is intended to be purely prophylactic in nature, and does not imply, and shall not constitute an admission, that any Asbestos Protected Party is, in fact, an “applicable plan” within the meaning of MMSEA, or that any Asbestos Protected Party has a legal obligation to report any actions undertaken by the Settlement Facility or contributions to the Settlement Facility under MMSEA or any other statute or regulation.
(g)    In the event that CMS concludes that reporting done by the Settlement Facility in accordance with Section 4.12(a) above is or may be deficient in any way, and has not been corrected to the satisfaction of CMS in a timely manner, or if CMS communicates to the Settlement Facility or any of the

24




Asbestos Protected Parties a concern with respect to the sufficiency or timeliness of such reporting, or there appears to an Asbestos Protected Party a reasonable basis for a concern with respect to the sufficiency or timeliness of such reporting or non-reporting based upon the information received pursuant to Section 4.12(b), (c) or (d) above, or other credible information, then each Asbestos Protected Party shall have the right to submit its own reports to CMS under MMSEA, and the Settlement Facility shall provide in a timely manner to any Asbestos Protected Party that elects to file its own reports such information as the electing Asbestos Protected Party may require in order to comply with MMSEA, including, without limitation, the full reports filed by the Settlement Facility pursuant to Section 4.12(a) above without any redactions. Such Asbestos Protected Party shall keep any information it receives from the Settlement Facility pursuant to this Section 4.12(g) confidential and shall not use such information for any purpose other than meeting obligations under MSPA and/or MMSEA.
(h)    Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if the Settlement Facility is required to act as a reporting agent for any of the Asbestos Protected Parties pursuant to the provisions contained herein, then such Asbestos Protected Parties shall take all steps necessary and appropriate as required by CMS to permit any reports contemplated by this Section 4.12 to be filed. Furthermore, until an Asbestos Protected Party provides the Settlement Facility with any necessary information regarding that Asbestos Protected Party’s identifying information that may be required by CMS’s Coordination of Benefits Contractor to effectuate reporting, the Settlement Facility shall have no obligation to report under Section 4.12(a) above with respect to any such entity that has not provided such information and the Settlement Facility shall have no indemnification obligation under Subsection (j) of this Section 4.12 to such Asbestos Protected Party for any penalty, interest, or sanction that may arise solely on account of the Asbestos Protected Party’s failure to timely provide such information to the Settlement Facility in response to a timely request by the Settlement Facility for such information.
(i)    The Trustee shall obtain prior to remittance of funds to claimants’ counsel or to the claimant, if pro se, in respect of any Claim a certification from the claimant to be paid that said claimant has

25




or will provide for the payment and/or resolution of any obligations owing or potentially owing under MSPA in connection with, or relating to, such Claim which certification shall acknowledge that the Asbestos Protected Parties also are beneficiaries of such certification. The Settlement Facility shall provide a quarterly certification of its compliance with the terms of the immediately preceding sentence to the party designated in writing by each Asbestos Protected Party for which the Settlement Facility is required to act as reporting agent, and shall permit reasonable audits by such Asbestos Protected Parties, no more often than quarterly, to confirm the Settlement Facility’s compliance with this Section 4.12(i) during which Asbestos Protected Party may request copies of claimant certifications. For the avoidance of doubt, the Settlement Facility shall be obligated to comply with the requirements of this Section 4.12(i) regardless of whether an Asbestos Protected Party elects to file its own reports under MMSEA pursuant to Section 4.12(g) above. The Asbestos Protected Parties shall keep any information and documents received from the Settlement Facility pursuant to this Section 4.12(i) confidential and shall not use such information for any purpose other than meeting obligations under MSPA and/or MMSEA.
(j)    Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Settlement Facility Agreement, the Settlement Facility shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless an Asbestos Protected Party with respect to any Claim against such Asbestos Protected Party in respect of Medicare claims reporting and payment obligations in connection with Claims, including any obligations owing or potentially owing under MMSEA or MSPA in connection therewith, or relating thereto and any penalty, interest, or sanction. The foregoing indemnification obligation of the Settlement Facility is a direct obligation of the Settlement Facility and is not subject to application of any payment percentage or other reduction.
SECTION V

5.1    Members. The CAC shall consist of nine (9) members, who shall initially be the persons named on the signature page hereof.

26




5.2    Duties. The members of the CAC shall serve in a fiduciary capacity representing all holders of present Claims. The Trustee must consult with the CAC on matters identified in Section 2.2(e) above and in other provisions herein, and must obtain the consent of the CAC on matters identified in Section 2.2(f) above. Where provided in the CRP, certain other actions by the Trustee are also subject to the consent of the CAC.
5.3    Term of Office.
(a)    The initial members of the CAC appointed in accordance with Section 5.1 above shall serve staggered terms of three (3), four (4), or five (5) years shown on the signature pages hereof. Thereafter, each term of office shall be five (5) years. Each member of the CAC shall serve until the earlier of (i) his or her death, (ii) his or her resignation pursuant to Section 5.3(b) below, (iii) his or her removal pursuant to Section 5.3(c) below, (iv) the end of his or her term as provided above, or (v) the termination of the Settlement Facility pursuant to Section 7.2 below.

Such notice shall specify a date when such resignation shall take effect, which shall not be less than ninety (90) days after the date such notice is given, where practicable.
(c)A member of the CAC may be removed only by the Bankruptcy Court and only in the event that he or she becomes unable to discharge his or her duties hereunder due to accident, physical deterioration, mental incompetence, or engages in a consistent pattern of neglect and failure to perform or to participate in performing the duties of such member hereunder, such as repeated non-attendance at scheduled meetings, or for other good cause. Such removal shall be made at the recommendation of the remaining members of the CAC with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
5.4    Appointment of Successor.
(a)    If, prior to the termination of service of a member of the CAC other than as a result of removal, he or she has designated in writing an individual to succeed him or her as a member of the CAC, such individual shall be his or her successor. Prior to the expiration of a term, a member of the CAC may

27




reappoint himself or herself as a successor. If such member of the CAC did not reappoint himself or herself or designate an individual to succeed him or her prior to the termination of his or her service as contemplated above, such member’s law firm may designate his or her successor. If (i) a member of the CAC did not reappoint himself or herself or designate an individual to succeed him or her prior to the termination of his or her service and such member’s law firm does not designate his or her successor as contemplated above or (ii) he or she is removed pursuant to Section 5.3(c) above, his or her successor shall be appointed by a majority of the remaining members of the CAC or, if such members cannot agree on a successor, the Bankruptcy Court. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the reappointment of an individual serving as a member of the CAC for an additional term or terms, and there shall be no limit on the number of terms that a CAC member may serve.
(b)    Each successor CAC member shall serve until the earlier of (i) the end of the full term of five (5) years for which he or she was appointed if his or her immediate predecessor member of the CAC completed his or her term, (ii) the end of the term of the member of the CAC whom he or she replaced if his or her predecessor member did not complete such term, (iii) his or her death, (iv) his or her resignation pursuant to Section 5.3(b) above, (v) his or her removal pursuant to Section 5.3(c) above, or (vi) the termination of the Settlement Facility pursuant to Section 7.2 below.
5.5    CAC’s Employment of Professionals.
(a)    The CAC may but is not required to retain and/or consult counsel, accountants, appraisers, auditors, forecasters, experts, and financial and investment advisors, and such other parties deemed by the CAC to be qualified as experts on matters submitted to the CAC (the “CAC Professionals”). The CAC and the CAC Professionals shall at all times have complete access to the Settlement Facility’s officers, employees and agents, as well as to the Settlement Facility Professionals, and shall also have complete access to all non-privileged information generated by them or otherwise available to the Settlement Facility or the Trustee provided that the provision of any information by the Settlement Facility Professionals to the CAC or the CAC Professionals shall not constitute a waiver of any applicable privilege, and that the

28




information provided to the CAC members shall not provide them an unfair advantage in filing Claims compared to other claimants’ counsel. In the absence of gross negligence, the written opinion of or information provided by any CAC Professional or Settlement Facility Professional deemed by the CAC to be qualified as an expert on the particular matter submitted to the CAC shall be full and complete authorization and protection in support of any action taken or not taken by the CAC in good faith and in accordance with the written opinion of or information provided by the CAC Professional or Settlement Facility Professional.
(b)    The Settlement Facility shall promptly reimburse the CAC for, or pay directly if so instructed, all reasonable fees and costs associated with the CAC’s employment of legal counsel and, if the CAC deems necessary, a claims forecasting expert, pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof in connection with the CAC’s performance of its duties hereunder.
(c)    The Settlement Facility shall promptly reimburse the CAC for, or pay directly if so instructed, all reasonable fees and costs associated with the CAC’s employment of any other CAC Professional pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof in connection with the CAC’s performance of its duties hereunder; provided, however, that (i) the CAC has first submitted to the Settlement Facility a written request for such reimbursement setting forth the reasons (A) why the CAC desires to employ such CAC Professional, and (B) why the CAC cannot rely on Settlement Facility Professionals to meet the need of the CAC for such expertise or advice, and (ii) the Settlement Facility has approved the CAC’s request for reimbursement in writing. If the Settlement Facility agrees to pay for the CAC Professional, such reimbursement shall be treated as a Settlement Facility expense. If the Settlement Facility declines to pay for the CAC Professional, it must set forth its reasons for so doing in writing. If the CAC still desires to employ the CAC Professional at the Settlement Facility’s expense, the CAC and/or the Trustee shall resolve their dispute pursuant to Section 7.13 below.
5.6    Compensation and Expenses of the CAC.
(a)    The members of the CAC shall receive no compensation from the Settlement Facility for their services as CAC members. The Settlement Facility shall promptly reimburse the members of the

29




CAC for, or pay directly if so instructed, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of their duties hereunder. Such reimbursement or direct payment shall be deemed a Settlement Facility expense. The Settlement Facility shall include a description of the amounts paid under this Section 5.6 in the Annual Report to be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and provided to the FCR and the CAC pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(i).
5.7    Procedures for Consultation with and Obtaining the Consent of the CAC.
(a)    Consultation Process.
(i)In the event the Trustee is required to consult with the CAC pursuant to Section 2.2(e) above or on other matters as provided herein, the Trustee shall provide the CAC with written advance notice of the matter under consideration, and with all relevant information concerning the matter as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances. The Trustee shall also provide the CAC with such reasonable access to the Settlement Facility Professionals and other experts retained by the Settlement Facility and its staff (if any) as the CAC may reasonably request during the time when the Trustee is considering such matter, and shall also provide the CAC the opportunity, at reasonable times and for reasonable periods of time, to discuss and comment on such matter with the Trustee.
(ii)In determining when to take definitive action on any matter subject to the consultation procedures set forth in this Section 5.7(a), the Trustee shall take into consideration the time required for the CAC, if its members so wish, to engage and consult with its own independent advisor(s) as to such matter. In any event, the Trustee shall not take definitive action on any such matter until at least thirty (30) days after providing the CAC with the initial written notice that such matter is under consideration by the Trustee, unless such time period is waived by the CAC.
(b)    Consent Process.
(i)    In the event the Trustee is required to obtain the consent of the CAC pursuant to Section 2.2(f) above, the Trustee shall provide the CAC with a written notice stating that its consent is being sought pursuant to that provision, describing in detail the nature and scope of the action the Trustee

30




proposes to take, and explaining in detail the reasons why the Trustee desires to take such action. The Trustee shall provide the CAC as much relevant additional information concerning the proposed action as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances. The Trustee shall also provide the CAC with such access to the Settlement Facility Professionals and other experts retained by the Settlement Facility and its staff (if any) as the CAC may reasonably request during the time when the Trustee is considering such action, and shall also provide the CAC the opportunity, at reasonable times and for reasonable periods of time, to discuss and comment on such action with the Trustee.
(ii)    The CAC must consider in good faith and in a timely fashion any request for its consent by the Trustee, and must in any event advise the Trustee in writing of its consent or its objection to the proposed action within thirty (30) days of receiving the original request for consent from the Trustee.

(iii)If, after following the procedures specified in this Section 5.7(b), the CAC continues to object to the proposed action and to withhold its consent to the proposed action, the Trustee and the CAC shall resolve their dispute pursuant to Section 7.13. However, the burden of proof with respect to the reasonableness of the CAC’s objection and withholding of its consent shall be on the CAC.
(iv)    The procedures specified in this Section 5.7(b) shall apply to disputes regarding changes in the Maximum Annual Payment and the Maximum Settlement Values for which the consent of the CAC is required pursuant to Section 2.3 of the CRP.

The Trustee must consult with the FCR on matters identified in Section 2.2(e) above and on certain other matters provided herein, and must obtain the consent of the FCR on matters identified in Section 2.2(f) above. Where provided in the CRP, certain other actions by the Trustee are also subject to the consent of the FCR.
6.2    Term of Office.
(a)    The FCR shall serve until the earlier of (i) his or her death, (ii) his or her resignation pursuant to Section 6.2(b) below, (iii) his or her removal pursuant to Section 6.2(c) below, or (iv) the termination of the Settlement Facility pursuant to Section 7.2 below.
(b)    The FCR may resign at any time by written notice to the Trustee. Such notice shall specify a date when such resignation shall take effect, which shall not be less than ninety (90) days after the date such notice is given, where practicable.
(c)    The FCR may only be removed by the Bankruptcy Court, and only in the event he or she becomes unable to discharge his or her duties hereunder due to accident, physical deterioration, mental incompetence, or engages in a consistent pattern of neglect and failure to perform or to participate in performing the duties hereunder, such as repeated non-attendance at scheduled meetings, or for other good cause.
6.3    Appointment of Successor. A vacancy caused by death or resignation shall be filled with an individual nominated by the resigning or deceased FCR prior to the effective date of the resignation or the death, and a vacancy caused by removal of the FCR shall be filled with an individual nominated by the Trustee in consultation with the CAC, subject, in each case, to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. With

32




respect to a vacancy caused by death or resignation, if the resigning or deceased FCR did not nominate an individual to fill the vacancy prior to the effective date of the resignation or the date of death, the vacancy shall be filled with an individual nominated by the Trustee in consultation with the CAC, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
6.4    Future Claimants’ Representative’s Employment of Professionals.
(a)The FCR may, but is not required to, retain and/or consult counsel, accountants, appraisers, auditors, forecasters, experts, and financial and investment advisors, and such other parties deemed by the FCR to be qualified as experts on matters submitted to the FCR (the “FCR Professionals”). The FCR and the FCR Professionals shall at all times have complete access to the Settlement Facility’s officers, employees and agents, as well as to the Settlement Facility Professionals, and shall also have complete access to all non-privileged information generated by them or otherwise available to the Settlement Facility or the Trustee provided that any information provided by the Settlement Facility Professionals shall not constitute a waiver of any applicable privilege. In the absence of gross negligence, the written opinion of or information provided by any FCR Professional or Settlement Facility Professional deemed by the FCR to be qualified as an expert on the particular matter submitted to the FCR shall be full and complete authorization and protection in support of any action taken, or not taken, by the FCR in good faith and in accordance with the written opinion of or information provided by the FCR Professional or Settlement Facility Professional.
(b)    The Settlement Facility shall promptly reimburse the FCR for, or pay directly if so instructed, all reasonable fees and costs associated with the FCR’s employment of legal counsel and, if the FCR deems necessary, a claims forecasting expert, pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof in connection with the FCR’s performance of his or her duties hereunder.
(c)    The Settlement Facility shall also promptly reimburse the FCR for, or pay directly if so instructed, all reasonable fees and costs associated with the FCR’s employment of any other FCR Professionals pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof in connection with the FCR’s performance of his or her duties

33




hereunder; provided, however, that (i) the FCR has first submitted to the Settlement Facility a written request for such reimbursement setting forth the reasons (A) why the FCR desires to employ the FCR Professional, and (B) why the FCR cannot rely on Settlement Facility Professionals to meet the need of the FCR for such expertise or advice, and (ii) the Settlement Facility has approved the FCR’s request for reimbursement in writing. If the Settlement Facility agrees to pay for the FCR Professional, such reimbursement shall be treated as a Settlement Facility expense.

The FCR shall receive compensation from the Settlement Facility in the form of payment at the FCR’s normal hourly rate for services performed. The Settlement Facility shall promptly reimburse the FCR for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the FCR in connection with the performance of his or her duties hereunder. Such reimbursement or direct payment shall be deemed a Settlement Facility expense.

6.6    Procedures for Consultation with and Obtaining the Consent of the Future Claimants’ Representative.
(a)    Consultation Process.
(i)    In the event the Trustee is required to consult with the FCR pursuant to Section 2.2(e) above or on any other matters specified herein, the Trustee shall provide the FCR with written advance notice of the matter under consideration, and with all relevant information concerning the matter as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances. The Trustee shall also provide the FCR with such access to the Settlement Facility Professionals and other experts retained by the Settlement Facility and its staff (if any) as the FCR may reasonably request during the time when the Trustee is considering such matter,

34




and shall also provide the FCR the opportunity, at reasonable times and for reasonable periods of time, to discuss and comment on such matter with the Trustee.
(ii)    In determining when to take definitive action on any matter subject to the consultation process set forth in this Section 6.6(a), the Trustee shall take into consideration the time required for the FCR, if he or she so wishes, to engage and consult with his or her own independent advisor(s) as to such matter. In any event, the Trustee shall not take definitive action on any such matter until at least thirty (30) days after providing the FCR with the initial written notice that such matter is under consideration by the Trustee, unless such period is waived by the FCR.
(b)
Consent Process.
(i)In the event the Trustee is required to obtain the consent of the FCR pursuant to Section 2.2(f) above, the Trustee shall provide the FCR with a written notice stating that his or her consent is being sought pursuant to that provision, describing in detail the nature and scope of the action the Trustee proposes to take, and explaining in detail the reasons why the Trustee desires to take such action. The Trustee shall provide the FCR as much relevant additional information concerning the proposed action as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances. The Trustee shall also provide the FCR with such access to the Settlement Facility Professionals and other experts retained by the Settlement Facility and its staff (if any) as the FCR may reasonably request during the time when the Trustee is considering such action, and shall also provide the FCR the opportunity, at reasonable times and for reasonable periods of time, to discuss and comment on such action with the Trustee.
(ii)    The FCR must consider in good faith and in a timely fashion any request for his or her consent by the Trustee, and must in any event advise the Trustee in writing of his or her consent or objection to the proposed action within thirty (30) days of receiving the original request for consent from the Trustee. The FCR may not withhold his or her consent unreasonably. If the FCR decides to withhold consent, he or she must explain in detail his or her objections to the proposed action. If the FCR does not advise the Trustee in writing of his or her consent or objections to the proposed action within thirty (30) days

35




of receiving the notice from the Trustee regarding such consent, the FCR’s consent shall be deemed to have been affirmatively granted.
(c)If, after following the procedures specified in this Section 6.6(b), the FCR continues to object to the proposed action and to withhold his or her consent to the proposed action, the Trustee and the FCR shall resolve their dispute pursuant to Section 7.13. However, the burden of proof with respect to the reasonableness of the FCR’s objection and withholding of his or her consent shall be on the FCR.
(d)    The procedures specified in this Section 6.6(b) shall apply to disputes regarding changes in the Maximum Annual Payment and the Maximum Settlement Values for which the consent of the FCR is required pursuant to Section 2.3 of the CRP.

(c)    On the Dissolution Date or as soon as reasonably practicable, after the wind-up of the Settlement Facility’s affairs by the Trustee and payment of all of the Settlement Facility’s liabilities have been provided for as required by applicable law, including Section 3808 of the Act, all monies remaining in the Settlement Facility estate shall be given to one or more organization(s) exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, which tax-exempt organization(s) shall be selected by the Trustee using his or her reasonable discretion; provided, however, that (i) if practicable, the activities of the selected tax-exempt organization(s) shall be related to the treatment of, research on, or the relief of individuals suffering from asbestos-related lung disease or disorders, and (ii) the tax-exempt organization(s) shall not bear any relationship to the Reorganized Debtors within the meaning of section 468B(d)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

EXHIBIT H

FORM OF
OPTION AND REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IS IN EFFECT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS.

THIS OPTION AND REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Option and Registration Rights Agreement”) is dated as of the ____ day of ___________, 20__ and is by and among OldCo, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (“Optionor”), EnPro Industries, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“EnPro”), and the GST Settlement Facility, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Asbestos Trust”).

WHEREAS, this Option and Registration Rights Agreement is being entered into pursuant to the terms of the Joint Plan of Reorganization of Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC, et al. and OldCo, LLC (the “Joint Plan”) in Case No. 10-BK-31607 pending before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina (Charlotte Division) (the “Bankruptcy Court”) which was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on [__________ __], 20[__] [date of confirmation to be inserted here];

WHEREAS, this Option and Registration Rights Agreement is being entered into by the parties hereto as of the Effective Date of the Joint Plan, as required under Section 7.3.2 of the Joint Plan;

NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.3.2 of the Joint Plan, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Article I
Option; Call Right; Put Right

1.1    Grant of Option. Optionor hereby grants to the Asbestos Trust, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, the right to purchase from the Optionor for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 in cash the Subject Shares (as such term is defined herein). Such right to purchase the Subject Shares on the terms and conditions set forth herein is referred to as the “Option.”

(a)    As used herein, the term “Subject Shares” shall mean shares of EnPro Common Stock equal in a number (with any fraction of a share rounded up to the next whole share) to the quotient of $20,000,000.00 divided by the simple arithmetic average of the Daily VWAPs over the period of 20 consecutive Trading Days (the “Measurement Per Share Price”) ending on the date that the Asbestos Trust delivers to the Optionor notice of option exercise of the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Notice of Option Exercise”) (or if that date is not a Trading Day, then on the Trading Day that immediately precedes that date) (such 20 consecutive Trading Days being referred to as the “Measurement Period”); provided, however, that if the number of Subject Shares as so determined equals or exceeds 20 percent of the lesser of the number of shares of EnPro Common Stock outstanding on the date hereof or on the date of issuance of Subject Shares

1




upon the exercise of the Option hereunder, then the number of Subject Shares shall be reduced to an amount equal to 19.9% of the lesser of the number of shares of EnPro Common Stock outstanding on the date hereof or on the date of issuance of Subject Shares upon the exercise of the Option hereunder and the Optionor shall pay in cash to the Asbestos Trust the product of the Measurement Per Share Price multiplied by the number of Subject Shares that are reduced by the preceding formula.

(b)    The term “Daily VWAP” means, for any Trading Day, the per share volume-weighted average price of EnPro Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange, or the primary U.S. national or regional securities exchange or market on which EnPro Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading if EnPro Common Stock is not then listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page “NPO.N <equity> AQR” (or its equivalent successor if such page is not available), in respect of the period from the scheduled open of trading until the scheduled close of trading of the primary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange, or the primary U.S. national or regional securities exchange or market on which EnPro Common Stock is then listed or admitted for trading if EnPro Common Stock is not then listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, on such Trading Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one share of EnPro Common Stock on such Trading Day determined, using a volume-weighted average method, by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained for this purpose by EnPro). The Daily VWAP is to be determined without regard to pre-market hours or after-hours trading or any other trading outside of the regular trading session trading hours.

(c)    The term “Trading Day” means a day during which trading in EnPro Common Stock generally occurs on the primary U.S. national or regional securities exchange or market on which EnPro Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading.

(d)    In the event that during the Measurement Period or between the end of the Measurement Period and the settlement of the exercise of the Option, EnPro shall (i) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of EnPro Common Stock into a greater number of shares or (ii) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of EnPro Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of Subject Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option shall be equitably adjusted to eliminate the impact of such subdivision, combination or reclassification.

(e)    The Option may be exercised only in whole and not in part.

1.2    Exercise of Option. To exercise its right to purchase the Subject Shares, the Asbestos Trust must deliver to the Optionor a signed and completed Notice of Option Exercise no earlier than the first anniversary of the date of this Option and Registration Rights Agreement, or if such first anniversary is not a Trading Day then on the Trading Day next succeeding the first anniversary of the date of this Option and Registration Rights Agreement.

1.3    Termination of Option. The Option shall expire, and the Asbestos Trust’s right to purchase the Subject Shares hereunder shall terminate, if the Asbestos Trust does not deliver Notice of Option Exercise to Optionor by 5:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the second anniversary of the date hereof, in which event, in exchange for termination of the Option, the Asbestos Trust shall receive full payment of $20,000,000.00 in cash from the Optionor (the “Termination Payment”). Upon termination of the Option, as provided in this Section 1.3, the Optionor promptly shall notify the Asbestos Trust in writing of such termination by delivery of notice of the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the

2




Termination Notice”). Within two Trading Days after receipt of the Termination Notice, the Asbestos Trust shall provide to the Optionor written instructions for the wiring of same-day-available funds in payment of the Termination Payment. Upon payment in full of the Termination Payment to the Asbestos Trust, the obligations of the Optionor and EnPro hereunder shall cease.

1.4    Call Right. Optionor shall have the right to call the Option from the Asbestos Trust by delivery of notice of the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Call Notice”) to the Asbestos Trust at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the second Trading Day preceding the first anniversary of the date hereof. Such right to call the Option may be exercised only in whole and not in part. In the event that the Optionor timely provides the Call Notice to the Asbestos Trust, the Option shall expire, and the Asbestos Trust’s right to purchase the Subject Shares hereunder shall terminate, and the Asbestos Trust shall instead receive full payment of $20,000,000.00 in cash from the Optionor (the “Call Payment”). Within two Trading Days after its receipt of the Call Notice, the Asbestos Trust shall provide to the Optionor written instructions for the wiring of same-day-available funds in payment of the Call Payment. Upon payment in full of the Call Payment to the Asbestos Trust, the obligations of the Optionor and EnPro hereunder shall cease.

1.5    Put Right. The Asbestos Trust shall have the right to put the Option to the Optionor by delivery of notice of the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Put Notice”) to the Optionor between 5:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the second Trading Day preceding the first anniversary of the date hereof and 5:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the Trading Day immediately preceding the first anniversary of the date hereof; provided, however, that in the event that prior thereto EnPro shall have publicly announced that it has entered into an agreement providing for a merger, consolidation or share exchange in which shares of EnPro Common Stock would be converted into consideration other than shares of EnPro Common Stock, the Asbestos Trust may exercise its right to put the Option to the Optionor by delivery of the Put Notice at any time after such public announcement and before 5:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the Trading Day immediately preceding the first anniversary of the date hereof. Such right to put the Option may be exercised only in whole and not in part. In the event that the Asbestos Trust timely provides the Put Notice to the Optionor, the Option shall expire, and the Asbestos Trust’s right to purchase the Subject Shares hereunder shall terminate, and the Asbestos Trust shall instead receive payment of $20,000,000.00 in cash from the Optionor (the “Put Payment”). The Put Notice shall include the Asbestos Trust’s written instructions for the wiring of same-day-available funds in payment of the Put Payment. Upon payment in full of the Put Payment to the Asbestos Trust, the obligations of the Optionor and EnPro hereunder shall cease.

1.6    Settlement. Unless the parties agree otherwise, settlement of an exercise of the Option pursuant to a Notice of Option Exercise, of the payment of the Termination Payment pursuant to the Termination Notice, of the payment of the Call Payment pursuant to a Call Notice, or of the payment of the Put Payment pursuant to a Put Notice shall occur on the fifth Trading Day after delivery of such notice. Certificates evidencing the Subject Shares to be issued in settlement of an exercise of the Option shall be delivered to the address set forth in the Notice of Option Exercise.

1.7    No Rights as a Shareholder. This Option and Registration Rights Agreement does not, in and of itself, entitle the Asbestos Trust to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of EnPro prior to the issuance of shares to the Asbestos Trust upon the exercise of the Option.

1.8    Absolute and Unconditional Guaranty of EnPro. EnPro hereby absolutely, irrevocably, and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to the Asbestos Trust all of the Optionor’s payment and performance obligations under this Option and Registration Rights

Agreement, including, without limitation, Optionor’s duties and obligations (a) to deliver the Subject Shares upon exercise of the Option in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and (b) to pay the sum of $20,000,000.00 in full to the Asbestos Trust in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5 hereof; provided, however, that such guarantee by EnPro of the Optionor’s obligation to make the Termination Payment pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof shall become effective on the Effective Date immediately after consummation of the merger of Optionor with and into New Coltec, Inc., as provided in Section 7.10 of the Joint Plan. EnPro hereby agrees that this Option and Registration Rights Agreement is an absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance and is not merely a surety obligation or a guarantee of collection, and that EnPro shall be jointly and severally liable for the Optionor’s obligations of payment and performance hereunder, regardless of the solvency or insolvency of the Obligor at any time.

Article II
Representations and Warranties of the Optionor and EnPro

Optionor and EnPro each hereby represents and warrants to the Asbestos Trust that the following are true and correct as of the Effective Date, and Optionor and EnPro each acknowledge that the Asbestos Trust is relying on each of the following representations and warranties as being true and correct and that the Asbestos Trust’s reliance thereon is reasonable:

2.1    Authorization, Enforceability.

(a)    This Option and Registration Rights Agreement has been duly authorized by the Optionor and EnPro, and, when executed and delivered by them as contemplated hereby, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Optionor and EnPro, respectively, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms, except as the same may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity. The Subject Shares have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Option and when so issued in accordance with the terms of the Option will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(b)    The execution, delivery and performance by the Optionor and EnPro of this Option and Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and compliance by the Optionor and EnPro with the provisions hereof, will not (A) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in a right of termination or acceleration of, or result in the creation of, any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of the Optionor, EnPro or any EnPro Subsidiary under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (i) its organizational documents or (ii) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, lease, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Optionor, EnPro or any EnPro Subsidiary is a party or by which the Optionor, EnPro or any EnPro Subsidiary may be bound, or to which the Optionor, EnPro or any EnPro Subsidiary or any of the properties or assets of the Optionor, EnPro or any EnPro Subsidiary may be subject, or (B) violate any statute, rule or regulation or any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction or decree applicable to the Optionor, EnPro or any EnPro Subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets except, in the case of clauses (A)(ii) and (B), for those occurrences that, individually or in

4




the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c)    EnPro and Optionor have not, either jointly or separately, entered into any agreement with respect to its securities that may impair the rights granted to the Asbestos Trust under this Option and Registration Rights Agreement or that otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof in any manner that may impair the rights granted to the Asbestos Trust hereunder.

2.2    Anti-Takeover Provisions and Rights Plans. EnPro has taken all necessary action to ensure that the transactions contemplated under this Option and Registration Rights Agreement, including the exercise of the Option in accordance with its terms, will be exempt from any anti-takeover or similar provisions of EnPro’s articles of incorporation, and any other provisions of any applicable “moratorium”, “control share”, “fair price”, “interested stockholder” or other anti-takeover laws and regulations of any jurisdiction. EnPro has taken, and will take, all actions necessary to render any shareholders’ rights plan of EnPro inapplicable to this Option and Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the exercise of the Option by the Asbestos Trust in accordance with its terms.

2.3    Offering of Securities. Neither the Optionor, EnPro nor any person acting on any of their behalves has taken any action (including any offering of any securities of EnPro) under circumstances which would require the integration of such offering with the offering of the Option or the Subject Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, or any other action, which might subject the offering, issuance or sale of any of the Option or the Subject Shares to the Asbestos Trust pursuant to this Option and Registration Rights Agreement to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Article III
Covenants

3.1    Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Option and Registration Rights Agreement, each of the parties will use its commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or desirable, or advisable under applicable laws, so as to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Option and Registration Rights Agreement as promptly as practicable and otherwise to enable consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other party to that end.

3.2    Sufficiency of Authorized Common Stock; Exchange Listing. During the period from the date hereof until the date on which the Option has been exercised or has been terminated, EnPro shall at all times have reserved for issuance, free of preemptive or similar rights, a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares of EnPro Common Stock to fund delivery of shares upon such exercise. Nothing in this Section 3.2 shall preclude the Optionor from satisfying its obligations in respect of the exercise of the Option by delivery of shares of EnPro Common Stock held by it. Prior to the first anniversary of the date hereof, EnPro shall cause the Subject Shares to be listed on the same national securities exchange on which the EnPro Common Stock is listed, subject to official notice of issuance, and shall maintain such listing for so long as any EnPro Common Stock is listed on such exchange.


5

Article IV

4.1    Subject Shares Not Registered. The Asbestos Trust acknowledges that the Option and the Subject Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws. The Asbestos Trust (a) is acquiring the Option pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act solely for investment with no present intention to distribute the Option to any person in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable U.S. state securities laws, (b) will not sell or otherwise dispose of the Subject Shares, except in compliance with the registration requirements or exemption provisions of the Securities Act and any applicable U.S. state securities laws, and (c) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and in investments of this type that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase and of making an informed investment decision.

(b) In the event that any of the Subject Shares (i) are sold pursuant to a registration statement effective under the Securities Act or (ii) are eligible to be transferred without restriction in accordance with Rule 144 or another exemption from registration under the Securities Act (other than Rule 144A), EnPro shall issue new certificates representing such Subject Shares, which shall not contain the applicable legend in Section 4.2(a) above; provided that the Asbestos Trust either surrenders to EnPro the previously issued certificates or furnishes proof of loss, destruction, or theft of the certificates and enters into a customary form indemnification agreement to indemnify EnPro against any loss or damages arising with respect to such lost, destroyed or stolen certificates or the issuance by EnPro of replacement certificates therefor.

(a)    Registration.


7




(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Option and Registration Rights Agreement, EnPro covenants and agrees that promptly after the receipt by the Optionor of Notice of Option Exercise (and in any event no later than 21 days after the receipt by the Optionor of Notice of Option Exercise) it shall prepare and file with the SEC a Shelf Registration Statement (as defined below) covering all of the Registrable Securities (as defined below) of the Asbestos Trust (or otherwise designate an existing Shelf Registration Statement filed with the SEC to cover the Registrable Securities of the Asbestos Trust), and, to the extent the Shelf Registration Statement has not theretofore been declared effective or is not automatically effective upon such filing, EnPro shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared or become effective and to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and in compliance with the Securities Act and usable for resale of such Registrable Securities for a period from the date of its initial effectiveness until such time as the Asbestos Trust ceases to own any Registrable Securities (including by refiling such Shelf Registration Statement (or a new Shelf Registration Statement) if the initial Shelf Registration Statement expires. So long as EnPro is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) at the time of filing of the Shelf Registration Statement with the SEC, such Shelf Registration Statement shall be designated by EnPro as an automatic Shelf Registration Statement.

(ii) Any registration pursuant to Section 4.3(a)(i) shall be effected by means of a shelf registration on an appropriate form under Rule 415 under the Securities Act (a “Shelf Registration Statement”). If the Asbestos Trust intends to distribute any Registrable Securities by means of an underwritten offering it shall promptly so advise EnPro and EnPro shall take all reasonable steps to facilitate such distribution, including the actions required pursuant to Section 4.3(c); provided that EnPro shall not be required to facilitate an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities unless the expected gross proceeds from such offering exceed $10,000,000.00. The lead underwriters in any such distribution shall be selected by the Asbestos Trust.

(iii) EnPro shall not be required to effect a registration (including a resale of Registrable Securities from an effective Shelf Registration Statement) or an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 4.3(a): (A) with respect to securities that are not the Registrable Securities; or (B) if EnPro has notified the Asbestos Trust that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of EnPro, it would be materially detrimental to EnPro or its security holders for such registration or underwritten offering to be effected at such time, in which event EnPro shall have the right to defer such registration for a period of not more than 45 days after receipt of the request of the Asbestos Trust; provided that such right to delay a registration or underwritten offering shall be exercised by EnPro (1) only if EnPro has generally exercised (or is concurrently exercising) similar black-out rights against holders of EnPro Common Stock or securities convertible into EnPro Common Stock that have registration rights and (2) not more than three times in any 12-month period and not more than 90 days in the aggregate in any 12-month period.

(iv) If during any period when an effective Shelf Registration Statement is not available, EnPro proposes to register any of its equity securities, other than a registration pursuant to Section 4.3(a)(i) or a Special Registration (as defined in Section 4.3(i) below), and the registration form to be filed may be used for the registration or qualification for distribution of Subject Shares, EnPro will give prompt written notice to

8




the Asbestos Trust of its intention to effect such a registration (but in no event less than ten days prior to the anticipated filing date) and will include in such registration all Subject Shares with respect to which EnPro has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten business days after the date of EnPro’s notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). The Asbestos Trust may withdraw from such Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to EnPro and the managing underwriter, if any, on or before the fifth business day prior to the planned effective date of such Piggyback Registration. EnPro may terminate or withdraw any registration under this Section 4.3(a)(iv) prior to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not the Asbestos Trust has elected to include any Registrable Securities in such registration.

(v) If the registration referred to in Section 4.3(a)(iv) is proposed to be underwritten, EnPro will so advise the Asbestos Trust as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 4.3(a)(iv). In such event, the right of the Asbestos Trust to registration pursuant to Section 4.3(a)(iv) will be conditioned upon the Asbestos Trust’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Asbestos Trust’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting if the Registrable Securities are of the same class of securities as the securities to be offered in the underwritten offering, and the Asbestos Trust will (together with EnPro and the other persons distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by EnPro. If the Asbestos Trust disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, the Asbestos Trust may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice pursuant to Section 4.3(a)(iv).

(vi) If either (x) EnPro grants “piggyback” registration rights to one or more third parties to include their securities in an underwritten offering under the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 4.3(a)(ii) or (y) a Piggyback Registration under Section 4.3(a)(iv) relates to an underwritten offering, and in either case the managing underwriters advise EnPro that in their reasonable opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of such offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), EnPro will include in such offering only such number of securities that in the reasonable opinion of such managing underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (A) first, in the case of a Piggyback Registration under Section 4.3(a)(iv), the securities EnPro proposes to sell, (B) then the Registrable Securities of the Asbestos Trust to the extent that the Asbestos Trust has requested inclusion of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4.3(a)(ii) or Section 4.3(a)(iv), as applicable, and (C) lastly, any other securities of EnPro that have been requested to be so included, subject to the terms of this Option and Registration Rights Agreement.
 
(b)    Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses (as defined below) incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance hereunder shall be borne by EnPro. All Selling Expenses (as defined below) incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder shall be borne by the holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the aggregate offering or sale price of the securities so registered.


9




(c)    Obligations of EnPro. EnPro shall use its reasonable best efforts, for so long as there are Registrable Securities outstanding, to take such actions as are under its control to not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) and to remain a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) if it has such status on the date of this Option and Registration Rights Agreement or becomes eligible for such status hereafter. In addition, whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities or facilitate the distribution of Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective Shelf Registration Statement, EnPro shall, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable:

(i) Prepare and file with the SEC a prospectus supplement with respect to a proposed offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement, subject to Section 4.3(d), keep such registration statement effective and keep such prospectus supplement current until the securities described therein are no longer Registrable Securities.

(ii) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the applicable registration statement and the prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.

(iii) Furnish to the Asbestos Trust and any underwriters such number of copies of the applicable registration statement and each such amendment and supplement thereto (including in each case all exhibits) and of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned or to be distributed by them.

(iv) Use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Asbestos Trust or any managing underwriter(s), to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such registration statement remains in effect, and to take any other action which may be reasonably necessary to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by the Asbestos Trust; provided that EnPro shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.

(v) Notify the Asbestos Trust at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the applicable prospectus, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.

(vi) Give written notice to the Asbestos Trust:

(A) when any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 4.3(a) or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC (except for any amendment

10




effected by the filing of a document with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) and when such registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(B) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any registration statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

(C) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;

(D) of the receipt by EnPro or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the EnPro Common Stock for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;

(E) of the happening of any event that requires EnPro to make changes in any effective registration statement or the prospectus related to the registration statement in order to make the statements therein not misleading (which notice shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made); and

(F) if at any time the representations and warranties of EnPro contained in any underwriting agreement contemplated by Section 4.3(c)(x) cease to be true and correct.

(vii) Use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance or obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement referred to in Section 4.3(c)(vi)(C) at the earliest practicable time.

(viii) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 4.3(c)(v) or 4.3(c)(vi)(E), promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to such registration statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the Asbestos Trust and any underwriters, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If EnPro notifies the Asbestos Trust in accordance with Section 4.3(c)(vi)(E) to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then the Asbestos Trust and any underwriters shall suspend use of such prospectus and use their reasonable best efforts to return to EnPro all copies of such prospectus (at EnPro’s expense) other than permanent file copies then in the Asbestos Trust’s or underwriters’ possession. The total number of days that any such suspension may be in effect in any 12-month period shall not exceed 90 days.

(ix) Use reasonable best efforts to procure the cooperation of EnPro’s transfer agent in settling any offering or sale of Registrable Securities, including with respect to

11




the transfer of physical stock certificates into book-entry form in accordance with any procedures reasonably requested by the Asbestos Trust or any managing underwriter(s).

(x) If an underwritten offering is requested pursuant to Section 4.3(a)(ii), enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form, scope and substance and take all such other actions reasonably requested by the Asbestos Trust or by the managing underwriter(s), if any, to expedite or facilitate the underwritten disposition of the Registrable Securities, and in connection therewith in any underwritten offering (including making members of management and executives of EnPro available to participate in “road shows”, similar sales events and other marketing activities), (A) make such representations and warranties to the Asbestos Trust and the managing underwriter(s), if any, with respect to the business of EnPro and its subsidiaries, and the Shelf Registration Statement, prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in customary form, substance and scope, and, if true, confirm the same if and when requested, (B) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish the underwriters with opinions of counsel to EnPro, addressed to the managing underwriter(s), if any, covering the matters customarily covered in such opinions requested in underwritten offerings, (C) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain “cold comfort” letters from the independent certified public accountants of EnPro (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any business acquired by EnPro for which financial statements and financial data are included in the Shelf Registration Statement) who have certified the financial statements included in such Shelf Registration Statement, addressed to each of the managing underwriter(s), if any, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters, (D) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the same shall contain indemnification provisions and procedures customary in underwritten offerings, and (E) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Asbestos Trust, its counsel and the managing underwriter(s), if any, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties made pursuant to clause (i) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by EnPro.

(xi) Make available for inspection by a representative of the Asbestos Trust, the managing underwriter(s), if any, and any attorneys or accountants retained by the Asbestos Trust or managing underwriter(s), at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business hours, financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of EnPro, and cause the officers, directors and employees of EnPro to supply all information in each case reasonably requested (and of the type customarily provided in connection with due diligence conducted in connection with a registered public offering of securities) by any such representative, managing underwriter(s), attorney or accountant in connection with such Shelf Registration Statement.

(xii) Use reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on each national securities exchange on which similar securities issued by EnPro are then listed.

(xii) If requested by the Asbestos Trust or the managing underwriter(s), if any, promptly include in a prospectus supplement or amendment such information as the Asbestos Trust or managing underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request in order to

12




permit the intended method of distribution of such securities and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such amendment as soon as practicable after EnPro has received such request.

(xiii) Timely provide to its security holders earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.

(d)    Suspension of Sales. Upon receipt of written notice from EnPro that a registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement contains or may contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omits or may omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that circumstances exist that make inadvisable use of such registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement, the Asbestos Trust shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until the Asbestos Trust has received copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus or prospectus supplement, or until the Asbestos Trust is advised in writing by EnPro that the use of the prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus supplement may be resumed, and, if so directed by EnPro, the Asbestos Trust shall deliver to EnPro (at EnPro’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in the Asbestos Trust’s possession, of the prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus supplement covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. The total number of days that any such suspension may be in effect in any 12-month period shall not exceed 90 days.

(e) Termination of Registration Rights. The Asbestos Trust’s registration rights as to any securities held by it (and its Affiliates (as defined below)) shall not be available unless such securities are Registrable Securities. “Registrable Securities” means (A) the Subject Shares and (B) any equity securities of EnPro issued or issuable directly or indirectly with respect to any of the Subject Shares by way of exchange thereof or share dividend or share split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, consolidation or other reorganization, provided that, once issued, such securities will not be Registrable Securities when (1) they are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (2) they may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without limitation thereunder on volume or manner of sale, (3) they shall have ceased to be outstanding or (4) they have been sold in a private transaction. No Registrable Securities may be registered under more than one registration statement at any one time.

(f) Furnishing Information.

(i) The Asbestos Trust shall not use any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of EnPro.

(ii) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of EnPro to take any action pursuant to Section 4.3(c) that the Asbestos Trust and the underwriters, if any, shall furnish to EnPro such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registered offering of the Registrable Securities.




13




(g) Indemnification.

(i) EnPro agrees to indemnify the Asbestos Trust and the Asbestos Trust’s trustees, officers, employees, agents, representatives and Affiliates, and each Person (as herein defined), if any, that controls the Asbestos Trust within the meaning of the Securities Act (each, an “Indemnitee”), against any and all losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of attorneys and other professionals incurred in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses), joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto or any documents incorporated therein by reference or contained in any free writing prospectus (as such term is defined in Rule 405) prepared by EnPro or authorized by it in writing for use by the Asbestos Trust (or any amendment or supplement thereto); or any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that EnPro shall not be liable to such Indemnitee in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon (A) an untrue statement or omission made in such registration statement, including any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any such amendments or supplements thereto or contained in any free writing prospectus (as such term is defined in Rule 405) prepared by EnPro or authorized by it in writing for use by the Asbestos Trust (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with information regarding such Indemnitee or its plan of distribution or ownership interests which was furnished in writing to EnPro by such Indemnitee for use in connection with such registration statement, including any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any such amendments or supplements thereto, or (B) offers or sales effected by or on behalf of such Indemnitee “by means of” (as defined in Rule 159A) a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) that was not authorized in writing by EnPro.

(ii) If the indemnification provided for in Section 4.3(g)(i) is unavailable to an Indemnitee with respect to any losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses referred to therein or is insufficient to hold the Indemnitee harmless as contemplated therein, then EnPro, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnitee, on the one hand, and EnPro, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of EnPro, on the one hand, and of the Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other factors, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by EnPro or by the Indemnitee and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; EnPro and the Asbestos Trust agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.3(g)(ii) were determined by pro rata allocation or

14




by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 4.3(g)(ii). No Indemnitee guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from EnPro if EnPro was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(h)    No Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights of the Asbestos Trust to registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4.3 may not be assigned.

EnPro also agrees to cause such of its directors and senior executive officers to execute and deliver customary lock-up agreements in such form and for such time period up to 90 days as may be requested by the managing underwriter. “Special Registration” means the registration of (A) equity securities and/or options or other rights in respect thereof solely registered on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or successor form) or (B) shares of equity securities and/or options or other rights in respect thereof to be offered to directors, members of management, employees, consultants, customers, lenders or vendors of EnPro or its subsidiaries or in connection with dividend reinvestment plans.

(j)    Rule 144. With a view to making available to the Asbestos Trust the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC that may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, EnPro agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to:

(i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144(c)(1) or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after the first anniversary of the date hereof;

(ii) (A) file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of EnPro under the Exchange Act, and (B) if at any time EnPro is not required to file such reports, make publicly available the information required by Rule 144(c)(2);

(iii) so long as the Asbestos Trust owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to the Asbestos Trust upon request: a written statement by EnPro as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act; a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of EnPro; and such other reports and documents as the Asbestos Trust may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities to the public without registration; and

(iv) take such further action as the Asbestos Trust may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Asbestos Trust to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act.

(v) “Selling Expenses” mean all discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Asbestos Trust.

(l)    Specific Performance.

(b)    The Pledgor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate actions on the part of the Pledgor.
(c)    This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Pledgor, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, except as such enforceability may be limited by: (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer or conveyance, and other Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights; and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(b)    The Pledgor will not change its name, type of organization or jurisdiction of organization without, in each case, giving at least 15 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Secured Party and taking all action necessary or reasonably requested by the Secured Party in order to maintain the effectiveness and priority of the security interest granted hereby.

(e)    The Pledgor shall not take any action, or permit any Issuer to take any action, to cause any Equity Interest comprising the Pledged Collateral not to be a “security” within the meaning of, or not to be governed by, Article 8 of the UCC as in effect under the Laws of any state having jurisdiction or to become uncertificated.
(f)    The Pledgor shall, from time to time, at its expense, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments, documents and notices and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to create, perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted by this Agreement or to enable the Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Pledgor will, upon the Secured Party’s request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect the Pledgor’s title to or the Secured Party’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral.
(g)    The Pledgor shall, from time to time, at its expense, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments, documents and notices and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to create, perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted by this Agreement or to enable the Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder.

(h)    The Pledgor shall furnish to the Secured Party, from time to time upon request, statements and schedules further identifying, updating, and describing the Pledged Collateral and such other information, reports and evidence concerning the Pledged Collateral as the Secured Party may reasonably request.
7.    Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc.
(a)    So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing in respect of which the Secured Party has elected to exercise the rights and remedies set forth in Section 7(b) below:
(i)    The Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; and
(ii)    The Pledgor shall be entitled to receive all distributions, dividends (in the form of cash, securities or otherwise), cash, instruments, chattel paper and other rights, property or Proceeds and products from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of the Pledged Collateral.
(b)    At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing in respect of which the Secured Party has elected to exercise the rights and remedies set forth in this Section 7(b):
(i)    All rights of the Pledgor to exercise voting and other consensual rights in respect of the Pledged Collateral shall immediately cease upon the Secured Party’s election to exercise its rights hereunder, and upon such election all such voting and other consensual rights shall become vested in the Secured Party and the Secured Party shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights (including, without limitation, the right to vote in favor of, and to exchange any or all of the Pledged Collateral upon, the consolidation, recapitalization, merger or other reorganization with respect to an Issuer). In order to effect the foregoing, the Pledgor hereby grants to the Secured Party an irrevocable proxy to vote the Pledged Collateral and, any time that an Event of Default exists, the Pledgor agrees to execute such other proxies as the Secured Party may reasonably request. The appointment of the Secured Party as proxy is coupled with an interest and shall be valid and irrevocable until the Deferred Contribution has been fully paid in Cash; and
(ii)    All rights of the Pledgor to receive and retain any distributions, dividends (in the form of cash, securities or otherwise), instruments, chattel paper, or other Proceeds or property paid or payable with respect to, or on account of, any of the Pledged Collateral shall immediately cease and any such distributions, dividends (in the form of cash, securities or otherwise), instruments, chattel paper, or other Proceeds or property paid or payable with respect to, or on account of, any of the Pledged Collateral shall be paid to the Secured Party (for application to the Deferred Contribution, with respect to any cash or cash equivalents, or to be held by the Secured Party as additional security for the Deferred Contribution, with respect to any other type of property). Any distributions, dividends (in the form of cash, securities or otherwise), instruments, chattel paper or other Proceeds or property paid or payable with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral and received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of this Agreement shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured

6




Party, shall be segregated from other assets (including, in the case of cash or cash equivalents, other funds) of the Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid to the Secured Party (for application to the Deferred Contribution, with respect to any cash or cash equivalents, or to be held by the Secured Party as additional security for the Deferred Contribution, with respect to any other type of property).
8.    Secured Party May Perform. If the Pledgor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, then upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement at the expense of the Pledgor.
9.    Limitation on Duty of Secured Party with Respect to the Pledged Collateral. Beyond the safe custody thereof, the Pledgor agrees that the Secured Party shall have no duties concerning the custody and preservation of any Pledged Collateral in its possession (or in the possession of any agent of the Secured Party) or with respect to any income thereon or the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if the Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Secured Party accords its own property. The Secured Party shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Pledged Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any agent selected by the Secured Party in good faith. It is expressly agreed that the Secured Party shall have no responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Pledged Collateral, but the Secured Party may do so.
10.    Remedial Provisions.
(a)    Each of the following events shall be an “Event of Default” for purposes of this Agreement:
(i)    Any failure to pay in full and in Cash, including a default in the full payment of, the Deferred Contribution to the Secured Party as and when due in accordance with Section 7.3.2 of the Plan; and
(ii)    Any failure or omission by the Pledgor to perform, including a default by the Pledgor in the performance of, any of its obligations under this Agreement, which failure or omission continues for a period of fourteen (14) days after the earlier of (A) a senior officer of the Pledgor becoming aware thereof and (B) the receipt of written notice thereof by the Secured Party from the Pledgor.
(b)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Secured Party and its attorneys may exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and applicable Law, and the Secured Party may also, without demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (other than the notice specified below relating to a public or private sale), sell the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more portions at one or more public or private sales or dispositions, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Secured Party’s offices (or those of the Secured Party’s attorneys) or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery, at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Secured Party deems advisable.

7




The Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by Law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to the Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification of such matters; provided that no notification need be given to the Pledgor if it has authenticated after default a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition. At any sale of the Pledged Collateral, if permitted by Law, the Secured Party may bid (which bid may be, in whole or in part, in the form of cancellation of indebtedness) for the purchase of the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof free of any right or equity of redemption in the Pledgor. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
The Pledgor recognizes that the Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of all or part of the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than if sold at public sales and agrees that such private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, and that the Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer of such Pledged Collateral to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, or under any other applicable requirement of Law, even if such Issuer would agree to do so. To the extent permitted by Law, the Pledgor hereby specifically waives (and, as applicable, releases) any right or equity of redemption, and any right of stay or appraisal, which the Pledgor has or may have under any Law now existing or hereafter enacted.
The Pledgor acknowledges that the Secured Party shall not be liable for any failure or delay in realizing upon or collecting the Deferred Contribution, or any guaranty thereof or collateral security therefor; and the Pledgor further acknowledges that the Secured Party shall not have any duty to take any action with respect thereto.
11.    Security Interest Absolute. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, all rights of the Secured Party, all pledges, Liens, and security interests made or granted hereunder, and all obligations of the Pledgor hereunder shall, upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, in accordance with the terms hereof, be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(a)    any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of all or part of the Deferred Contribution, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any of the Plan Documents;
(b)    any exchange, release, or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any guaranty for all or part of the Deferred Contribution;
(c)    the insolvency of the Pledgor, GST or EnPro; or
(d)    any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Pledgor, other than the payment in full and in Cash of the Deferred Contribution.

8




12.    Application of Proceeds. All Proceeds collected by the Secured Party upon any sale, other disposition of, or realization upon any of the Pledged Collateral, together with all other moneys received by the Secured Party hereunder, shall be applied as follows:
(a)    first, to payment of the expenses of such sale or other realization, including reasonable compensation to the Secured Party and its agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Secured Party, its agents and counsel in connection therewith or in connection with the care, safekeeping or otherwise of any or all of the Pledged Collateral;
(b)    second, after payment in full of the amounts specified in subsection (a) above, to payment of the Deferred Contribution; and
(c)    finally, after payment in full of the amounts specified in subsections (a) and (b) above, any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Pledgor, or its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
The Pledgor shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of all Proceeds realized upon sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement and the amount of the Deferred Contribution. Upon any sale of any Pledged Collateral hereunder by the Secured Party (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial proceeding, or otherwise), the receipt of the purchase money or other Proceeds of sale by the Secured Party or the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Pledged Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money or other Proceeds of sale paid over to the Secured Party or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
13.    Termination. This Agreement and the lien and security interest granted hereunder shall terminate and be released, automatically and without the necessity of action on the part of any Entity, when the Deferred Contribution has been paid in full and in Cash, and all rights to the Pledged Collateral shall thereupon revert to the Pledgor. In connection with the foregoing, the Secured Party shall execute and deliver to the Pledgor or its designee any documents or instruments which the Pledgor shall reasonably request from time to time to evidence such termination and release and shall assign, transfer and deliver to the Pledgor, without recourse and without representation or warranty, such of the Pledged Collateral as may then be in the possession of the Secured Party.
14.    Binding Effect; Assignments. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, provided that neither party shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the other.
15.    No Waiver. No failure or delay of the Secured Party of any kind in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. No waiver by the Secured Party of any default, Event of Default, or breach of this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other default, Event of Default, or breach of this Agreement or of the same default, Event of Default, breach of this Agreement on a future occasion, and no action by the Secured Party hereunder shall in any way affect or impair the Secured Party’s rights and remedies or the obligations of the Pledgor under this Agreement. The

9




rights and remedies of the Secured Party hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that it would otherwise have. No notice or demand on the Pledgor in any case shall entitle the Pledgor to any other or further notice in similar or other circumstances.
16.    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of North Carolina (without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof).
17.    Amendment. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into by the parties hereto.
18.    Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 11.9 of the Plan. All communications and notices hereunder to the Pledgor shall be given to it at its address set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.
19.    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, FOR ITSELF, AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT.
20.    Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but to the extent any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, void, voidable, prohibited, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity and only in such jurisdiction, without prohibiting or invalidating such provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction. The parties hereto further agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to replace such invalid, void, voidable, illegal, unenforceable, or rejected provision of this Agreement with an effective, valid, and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the fullest extent possible, the economic, business, and other purposes of the invalid, void, voidable, prohibited, illegal, unenforceable, or rejected provision.
21.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic format (e.g., “pdf” or “tif” file format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
22.    Construction. The headings of the various sections and subsections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof. Unless the context otherwise requires, words in the singular include the plural and words in the plural include the singular.

EXHIBIT J
PARENT GUARANTY
THIS PARENT GUARANTY (this “Agreement”), dated as of the Effective Date (as defined in the Plan referred to below), is made by ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC., a North Carolina corporation (the “Guarantor”), in favor of the GST SETTLEMENT FACILITY, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Asbestos Trust”).
RECITALS
D.    Section 7.3.2 of the Joint Plan of Reorganization of Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC, et al. and OldCo, LLC, successor by merger to Coltec Industries Inc (“OldCo”), as initially filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina on May 20, 2016 (as amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, and together with the exhibits and schedules to the foregoing, as the same may be in effect from time to time, the “Plan”), provides that the Asbestos Trust is to be funded with, among other things, the Deferred Contribution, which shall be paid in full and in Cash to the Asbestos Trust on or before the first anniversary of the Effective Date of the Plan.
E.    Section 7.3.2 of the Plan further provides, among other things, that payment of the Deferred Contribution shall be guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, with such guaranty to become effective on the Effective Date immediately after the merger of OldCo into New Coltec, as provided in Section 7.10 of the Plan (the “Merger”).
F.    The Guarantor owns all of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests in New Coltec (which in turn owns all of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests in GST) and will obtain benefits as a result of the consummation of the Plan, which benefits are hereby acknowledged, and accordingly desires to execute and deliver this Agreement.
STATEMENT OF AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

3.    Guarantee. Effective as of the Effective Date and immediately following the Merger, the Guarantor hereby guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the full and prompt payment when due of the Deferred Contribution to the Asbestos Trust in accordance with Section 7.3.2 of the Plan.
4.    Waivers. With respect to the Deferred Contribution, the Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) acceptance, promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of receivership or bankruptcy of New Coltec or GST, protest or notice, all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of payment, notices of dishonor and notices of acceptance of this Agreement or any of the other Plan Documents (and shall not require that the same be made on or given to OldCo, New Coltec or GST as a condition to the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder); (b) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of OldCo, New Coltec or GST, or the cessation for any reason whatsoever (including any act or omission of the Asbestos Trust or any other Entity) of the liability of OldCo, New Coltec or GST; (c) any right to proceed against OldCo, New Coltec or GST, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Deferred Contribution, or pursue any other remedy in the power of the Asbestos Trust whatsoever; (d) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter securing the Deferred Contribution; (e) the benefits of all statutes of limitation; and (f) all other demands and defenses whatsoever, other than payment in full of the Deferred Contribution. To the fullest extent permitted by

2




applicable Law, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of the Asbestos Trust to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy under the provisions of the Asbestos Trust Agreement, the Plan, any other Plan Document, or otherwise; (ii) any waiver, amendment, or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Asbestos Trust Agreement, the Plan, or any other Plan Document; or (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, the release of, or any other action with respect to, any of the security for the Deferred Contribution held by or on behalf of the Asbestos Trust.
5.    Absolute Guarantee of Payment and Performance. The Guarantor agrees that this Agreement is an absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance and is not merely a surety or guarantee of collection, and the Guarantor waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Asbestos Trust to any of the security held for payment of the Deferred Contribution. The Guarantor further agrees that (i) the Guarantor and New Coltec are jointly and severally liable for $40,000,000 of the Deferred Contribution, which liability is a continuing, absolute, and unconditional obligation of payment or performance, as the case may be, regardless of the solvency or insolvency of New Coltec or the Guarantor at any time, and (ii) the Guarantor and GST are jointly and severally liable for $20,000,000 of the Deferred Contribution, which liability is a continuing, absolute, and unconditional obligation of payment or performance, as the case may be, regardless of the solvency or insolvency of GST or the Guarantor at any time.
6.    Payments.
(a)In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Asbestos Trust has at law or in equity against the Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of New Coltec or GST to pay their respective portions of the Deferred Contribution in full and in Cash when and as the same shall become due in accordance with Section 7.3.2 of the Plan, the Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Asbestos Trust, in Cash the amount of the unpaid Deferred Contribution within five (5) Business Days after such failure to pay by New Coltec or GST.
(b)All payments made by the Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in lawful currency of the United States of America by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Asbestos Trust in accordance with wire transfer instructions as are provided by the Asbestos Trust to the Guarantor in writing from time to time.
(c)Upon payment by the Guarantor of any sums to the Asbestos Trust, all rights of the Guarantor against New Coltec or GST arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity, or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full and in Cash of the Deferred Contribution.
7.    Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor represents and warrants that the each of the following is true and correct as of the Effective Date, and the Guarantor acknowledges that the Asbestos Trust is relying on each of the following representations and warranties as being true and correct and that the Asbestos Trust’s reliance thereon is reasonable:
(a)The Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the Laws of the State of North Carolina; provided, however, with respect to good standing, only to the extent the concept of good standing exists in such jurisdiction of incorporation.

3




(b)The Guarantor has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each other Plan Document to which it is a party. This Agreement and each other Plan Document to which it is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Guarantor and has been duly executed and delivered by the Guarantor.
(c)This Agreement and each other Plan Document to which the Guarantor is a party is a legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, by the discretion of the court in which enforcement is sought, or by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings at law or in equity).
(d)The execution, delivery, and performance by the Guarantor of this Agreement and each other Plan Document to which the Guarantor, New Coltec, or GST is a party does not (1) conflict with, result in a breach of any of the provisions of, or constitute a default or event of default under (A) the Governing Documents of the Guarantor, New Coltec, or GST, or (B) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, lease, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Guarantor, New Coltec, or GST is a party or by which the Guarantor, New Coltec, or GST may be bound, or to which the Guarantor, New Coltec, or GST or any of the properties or assets of the Guarantor, New Coltec, or GST may be subject; or (2) violate any statute, rule or regulation, or any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction, or decree applicable to the Guarantor, New Coltec, or GST or to any of their respective properties or assets.
8.    Enforceability of Obligations. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under this Agreement, including the guarantee made hereunder, shall be enforceable against the Guarantor irrespective of:
(a)the legality, validity, enforceability, avoidance, or subordination of any of the Deferred Contribution or any of the Plan Documents;
(b)any Law, regulation, or order of any jurisdiction, or any other event, affecting the Deferred Contribution or any of the Plan Documents;
(c)the absence of any attempt by, or on behalf of, the Asbestos Trust to collect, or to take action to enforce, all or any part of the Deferred Contribution, whether from or against New Coltec, GST, or any other Entity;
(d)the election of any remedy available under any of the Plan Documents or applicable Law or in equity by, or on behalf of, the Asbestos Trust with respect to all or any part of the Deferred Contribution;
(e)any change in the corporate existence, structure, or ownership of New Coltec, GST, or the Guarantor;
(f)any impairment of the capital of New Coltec, GST, or the Guarantor, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or other similar proceeding affecting New Coltec, GST, the Guarantor, or their respective assets, or any resulting release or discharge of the Deferred Contribution;

4




(g)any amendment, waiver, consent, extension, forbearance, or granting of any indulgence by, or on behalf of, the Asbestos Trust with respect to any provision under any Plan Document, or any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of New Coltec, GST, or the Guarantor, including any renewal or extension of the time or change of the manner or place of payment or performance, as the case may be, of the Deferred Contribution;
(h)the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of the claims against New Coltec or GST held by the Asbestos Trust for payment or performance, as the case may be, of all or part of the Deferred Contribution;
(i)the existence of any right, claim, counterclaim, or right of setoff, whether arising from or relating to the Deferred Contribution, New Coltec, GST, or otherwise, that the Guarantor may have at any time against New Coltec, GST, the Asbestos Trust, or any other Entity, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions, provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the Guarantor from asserting its right against New Coltec or GST in a separate suit or compulsory counterclaim against New Coltec or GST (but not as a defense, cross-claim, counterclaim, or setoff against the Asbestos Trust);
(j)the cessation for any reason of the liability of New Coltec or GST under the Plan Documents or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of New Coltec, GST, or the Guarantor; or
(k)any other act or circumstance that might or could be deemed a discharge or modification hereunder other than payment in full and in Cash of the Deferred Contribution.
9.    Financial Information. The Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it has adequate means of, and assumes responsibility for, keeping itself informed of the financial condition of New Coltec and GST, including any circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Deferred Contribution, or any part thereof, and the Guarantor hereby agrees that the Asbestos Trust shall have no duty to advise the Guarantor of information known to it regarding any such circumstances. In the event the Asbestos Trust in its reasonable discretion undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to the Guarantor, the Asbestos Trust shall be under no obligation (a) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular routine or (b) to disclose any information that the Asbestos Trust, pursuant to its accepted and reasonable practices, wishes to maintain confidential.
10.    Default and Remedies.
(a)The Asbestos Trust shall have the right, power, and authority to do all things deemed necessary or advisable to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and protect its rights under the Plan Documents and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a default or breach of the terms hereunder, the Asbestos Trust may institute or appear in such appropriate proceedings permitted or not prohibited under this Agreement as the Asbestos Trust shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce its rights hereunder, whether for specific enforcement of any term or provision in this Agreement, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein or in any Plan Document, or to enforce any other proper remedy.
(b)Each and every default or breach by the Guarantor under or in respect of this Agreement shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder, and separate actions may be

5




brought hereunder as each cause of action arises. For so long as such a default or such a breach is continuing, the Asbestos Trust shall have the right to proceed first and directly against the Guarantor under this Agreement without proceeding against any other Entity (including New Coltec and GST), without exhausting any other remedies that the Asbestos Trust may have, and without resorting to any other security held by the Asbestos Trust to secure the Deferred Contribution.
11.    Reinstatement. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Guarantor agrees that, to the extent that any Entity makes a payment or payments to the Asbestos Trust on account of the Deferred Contribution, which payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or required or agreed to be repaid or returned by the Asbestos Trust under any Law or in respect of any Proceeding or other litigation to which the Guarantor or the Asbestos Trust is subject, then, to the extent of the amount of such payments, the portion of the Deferred Contribution that has been paid, reduced, or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the time immediately preceding such initial payment, reduction, or satisfaction.
12.    Termination. Except as provided in Section 11 hereof, the guarantee made hereunder shall terminate, automatically and without the necessity of action on the part of any Entity, when the Deferred Contribution has been paid in full and in Cash to the Asbestos Trust. In connection with the foregoing, the Asbestos Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Guarantor or its designee any documents or instruments which the Guarantor shall reasonably request from time to time to evidence such termination and release.
13.    Binding Effect; Assignments. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, provided that neither party shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the other.
14.    No Waiver. No failure or delay of the Asbestos Trust of any kind in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. No waiver by the Asbestos Trust of any default, event of default, or breach of this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other default, event of default, or breach of this Agreement or of the same default, event of default, or breach of this Agreement on a future occasion, and no action by the Asbestos Trust permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair the Asbestos Trust’s rights and remedies or the obligations of the Guarantor under this Agreement. The rights and remedies of the Asbestos Trust hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that it would otherwise have. No notice or demand on the Guarantor in any case shall entitle the Guarantor to any other or further notice in similar or other circumstances.
15.    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of North Carolina, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of North Carolina or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of North Carolina.
16.    Amendment. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended, or modified, except pursuant to a written agreement executed and delivered by the parties hereto.
17.    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, FOR ITSELF, AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,

6




ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT.
18.    Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 11.9 of the Plan. All communications and notices hereunder to the Guarantor shall be given to it at its address set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.
19.    Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but to the extent any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, void, voidable, prohibited, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity and only in such jurisdiction, without prohibiting or invalidating such provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction. The parties hereto further agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to replace such invalid, void, voidable, illegal, unenforceable, or rejected provision of this Agreement with an effective, valid, and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the fullest extent possible, the economic, business, and other purposes of the invalid, void, voidable, prohibited, illegal, unenforceable, or rejected provision.
20.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together, when delivered, constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic format (e.g., “pdf” or “tif” file format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
21.    Effectiveness. This Agreement (i) is hereby executed and delivered as of the Effective Date and immediately prior to the Merger, and (ii) shall be effective as of the Effective Date and immediately following the Merger.
