Defendant AIG CLAIMS, INC. f/k/a CHARTIS CLAIMS, INC., (“AIG CLAIMS”) hereby submit 

the following Stipulation to Dismiss AIG CLAIMS in the above-captioned action. 

1. At all times relevant to this action, AIG CLAIMS was acting as the duly authorized 

claim handling agent of Lexington Insurance Company (“LEXINGTON”). 

2. At all times relevant to this action, AIG CLAIMS was acting within the scope of its 

authority as claim handling agent of LEXINGTON. 

3. LEXINGTON adopts and ratifies as its own, where applicable, all actions taken by 

AIG CLAIMS in the investigation and handling of the underlying claims against 

Energetic Lath & Plaster, Inc. and Energetic Painting and Drywall, Inc. (collectively, 

“ENERGETIC”). 

4. All actions by AIG CLAIMS relative to the investigation and handling of the 

underlying claims against ENERGETIC are deemed to be the actions of 

LEXINGTON, where applicable. 

5. Subject to and without waiving any other objections, LEXINGTON agrees to produce 

the appropriate percipient witnesses from AIG CLAIMS without the need to 

subpoena those witnesses if they are still employees of AIG CLAIMS, and if they are 

not, LEXINGTON agrees to produce their last known addresses. 

6. Subject to and without waiving any objections, LEXINGTON agrees to produce a 

FRCP 30(b)(6) witness for AIG CLAIMS without the need to subpoena AIG 

CLAIMS. 

7. Subject to and without waiving any other objections, LEXINGTON agrees that to the 

extent that any documents are requested from LEXINGTON pursuant to FRCP 34 

that are documents that would be subject to any document production request directed 

to AIG CLAIMS, LEXINGTON agrees to produce such documents.
