WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Everest Services, the Company, Holdings and Group (collectively, the “Boards”) have determined it to be in the best interests of Everest Services, the Company, Holdings and Group (collectively, the “Everest Parties”) and their respective shareholders to enter into an agreement with Taranto that will provide Taranto with certain benefits in the event that there is a change in control of any of the Everest Parties; and

 

WHEREAS, Taranto is willing to enter into an agreement that will provide him with certain benefits in the event there is a change in control of any of the Everest Parties; and

 

WHEREAS, the Agreement is intended to reflect the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”);

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

	
1.  

	
Change of Control

A. If within one year after a Material Change (as defined herein) Taranto  incurs a “Separation from Service” (as defined herein) for any reason other than a termination of his employment by Everest Services for Due Cause (as defined herein): (a) all of Taranto’s outstanding stock options and restricted shares granted under Group’s stock option plans shall vest immediately, be automatically exercisable and remain exercisable for three (3) months following the termination of his employment, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the applicable award agreement(s) between Taranto and Group; (b) Taranto shall receive a lump sum payment (the “Cash Payment”) six (6) months after Separation from Service equal to the lesser of (i) 2.99 multiplied by Taranto’s annual compensation for the most recent taxable year ending prior to the date of the Material Change less the value

 

  

  

  

of Taranto’s gross income in the most recent taxable year ending prior to the date of a Material Change attributable to Taranto’s exercise of stock options, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards granted to Taranto by Group (or their predecessors), or (ii) 2.99 multiplied by Taranto’s “annualized includible compensation for the base period” as that phrase is defined in Section 280G(d) of the Code; (c) Taranto shall continue to be covered under Everest Services’ and/or the Company’s medical and dental insurance plans for a period of three years from the date of termination to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as active employees of Everest Services; and (d) Taranto shall receive “Special Retirement Benefits” as provided herein.

 

B. In the event that the value of benefits Taranto receives pursuant to this Agreement causes Taranto to receive a “Parachute Payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, Everest Services shall provide Taranto with written notice that his receipt of benefits hereunder would result in Taranto receiving a Parachute Payment.  Everest Services shall automatically reduce the Cash Payment portion of the benefits provided hereunder by an amount necessary to reduce the value of such benefits to an amount that is one dollar less than the amount that would cause the value of the benefits to constitute a “Parachute Payment”.

 

C. For purposes of this Agreement, a Material Change means the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

(i)  A tender offer or exchange offer is made whereby the effect of such offer is to take over and control the affairs of Group and such offer is consummated for the ownership of securities of Group representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of Group’s then outstanding voting securities.

 

(ii)  Group is merged or consolidated with another corporation and, as a result of such merger or consolidation, less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting corporation shall then be directly or indirectly owned in the aggregate by the former stockholders of Group other than affiliates within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) (“Affiliates”).

 

(iii)  Any of the Everest Parties transfers substantially all of its assets to another corporation or entity that is not a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Group.

 

  

2

  

(iv)  Any person (as such term is used in Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of Group representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of Group’s then outstanding securities, and the effect of such ownership is to take over and control the affairs of Group.

 

(v)  As the result of a tender offer, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, or contested election, or any combination of such transactions, the persons who were members of the Board of Group immediately before this transaction, cease to constitute at least a majority thereof.

 

D. For purposes of this Agreement, Special Retirement Benefits means the additional retirement benefits necessary (if any) so that the total retirement benefits Taranto receives will equal the retirement benefits he would have received had he continued in the employ of Everest Services for three years following his termination (or until his normal retirement date, whichever is earlier).  Special Retirement Benefits will include all ancillary benefits, such as early retirement and survivor rights and benefits available at retirement, as well as benefits (if any) under the Everest Reinsurance Retirement Plan and any supplemental retirement plans adopted by the Company or Everest Services, or any successor or substitute plan or plans (“the Plans”).  If Taranto’s credited service with Everest Services plus three (3) years would result in vested benefits and/or eligibility for ancillary benefits or additional benefits under the Plans, the amount payable to Taranto or his beneficiaries shall equal the excess of the amount specified in paragraph (i) over that in paragraph (ii) below:

 

(i)  the total retirement benefits that would be paid to Taranto or his beneficiaries, if the three (3) years (or the period to his normal retirement date, if less) following his termination are added to his credited service under the Plans and his final average compensation is the same as his actual average compensation, including the Cash Payment as compensation for services rendered to Everest Services in the year of his termination;

 

(ii)  the total retirement benefits payable to Taranto or his beneficiaries under the Plans.

 

All Special Retirement Benefits are provided on an unfunded basis and are not intended to meet the qualification requirements of Section 401 of the Code. All Special Retirement

 

  

3

  

Benefits shall be payable solely from the general assets of the Company and shall be paid six (6) months after Taranto’s Separation from Service in a lump sum equal to the present value of the Special Retirement Benefits, determined as of the Separation from Service date using the factors set forth in Section 7.2 of the Everest Reinsurance Company Supplemental Retirement Plan.

 

E. For purposes of this Agreement, Due Cause means (a) repeated and gross negligence in fulfillment of, or repeated failure of Taranto to fulfill his material obligations as an employee of Everest Services, in either event after written notice thereof; (b) material willful misconduct by Taranto in respect of his obligations as an employee of Everest Services; (c) conviction of any felony or any crime of moral turpitude by Taranto; or (d) a material breach in trust committed in willful or reckless disregard of the interests of the Everest Parties or undertaken for personal gain by Taranto.

 

F. For purposes of this Agreement, Taranto will be considered to have a Separation from Service if he dies, retires, or otherwise has a termination of employment with Everest Services and its Affiliates, subject to the following:

 

(i)  A Separation from Service is deemed to occur on the date that Taranto’s level of services performed after such date (whether as an employee or independent contractor) permanently decreases to no more than 20% of the average level of services performed (whether as an employee or independent contractor) during the immediately preceding 36-month period.

 

(ii)  For purposes of determining whether a Separation from Service has occurred, the employment relationship is treated as continuing intact while Taranto is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence (such as temporary employment by the government) if the period of such leave does not exceed six (6) months, or if longer, so long as Taranto’s right to reemployment with Everest Services and its Affiliates is provided either by statute or by contract.  If the period of leave exceeds six (6) months and Taranto’s right to reemployment is not provided either by statute or by contract, the employment relationship is deemed to terminate on the first date immediately following such six-month period.

 

(iii)  The determination of whether Taranto has terminated employment shall be based on the facts and circumstances in accordance with the rules set forth in Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder.

2.  

	
Special Reimbursement

Notwithstanding any reduction in payments pursuant to section 1.B, in the event that Taranto’s employment terminates after a Material Change, and he is assessed a tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code (the “Parachute Tax”), then Everest Services shall immediately pay Taranto that additional amount of money (the “Gross-Up Payment”) which will put Taranto in the same net after tax position had no Parachute Tax been incurred.  The Gross-Up Payment shall be sufficient in amount to cover any income or excise tax on the Gross-Up Payment itself.  In the event that the Parachute Tax is ultimately determined to exceed the amount taken into account in computing the Gross-Up Payment at the time of the termination of Taranto’s employment (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which could not be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment), Everest Services shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such excess at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined.  Taranto and Everest Services shall each reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings concerning the existence or amount of any such subsequent liability for the Parachute Tax.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Gross-Up Payment (including any additional Gross-Up Payment) made pursuant to this Section 2 shall be made no later than the December 31 following the calendar year in which Taranto remits the Parachute Tax to which the Gross-Up Payment relates.

 

	
3.  

	
General

A. To the extent that Everest Services fails, for any reason, to meet its financial obligations hereunder, the Company shall have full responsibility and liability for all such obligations.  The obligations of the Everest Parties to pay Taranto the compensation and other benefits specified herein shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Everest Parties may have against him or anyone else.  In no event shall Taranto be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to him under this Agreement.  All amounts payable and benefits provided by the Everest Parties hereunder shall be paid or provided without notice or demand.  Each and every payment made hereunder by the Everest Parties shall be final and the Everest Parties will not seek to recover all or any part of any such payment from Taranto or from whoever may be entitled thereto, for any reason whatsoever.

B. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the Everest Parties.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon Taranto and his estate, but neither this Agreement nor any rights arising hereunder may be assigned by Taranto.

 

C. In the event that any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions or portions of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

D. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, all payments required to be made by the Everest Parties hereunder to Taranto or his beneficiaries, including his estate, shall be subject to withholding and deductions as the Everest Parties may reasonably determine should be withheld or deducted pursuant to any applicable law or regulations.  Although the Everest Parties make no guarantee with respect to the tax treatment of payments hereunder, the Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and shall be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent.  Accordingly, the Everest Parties reserve the right to amend the provisions of the Agreement at any time and in any manner without the consent of Taranto solely to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and to avoid the imposition of an additional tax under Code Section 409A on any payment to be made hereunder, provided that there is no reduction in the benefit provided hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event whatsoever shall the Everest Parties be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on Taranto by Code Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A.

 

E. This Agreement shall in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey.

 

F. This Agreement shall terminate on the earliest of: (i) one year following a Material Change; (ii) termination by Taranto of his employment with Everest Services under circumstances not following a Material Change; (iii) Everest Services’ termination of Taranto’s employment for Due Cause; or (iv) December 31, 2012.  Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Everest Parties of their respective obligations to Taranto under this Agreement relating to a Material Change which occurs prior to such termination.

G. In the event Taranto institutes litigation to obtain or enforce any right or benefit to which he is entitled under this Agreement, the Everest Parties agree to pay as incurred all legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by Taranto; provided, however, that Taranto agrees to repay all legal fees and expenses paid to him by the Everest Parties in the event that it is determined by a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that the Everest Parties have established that, under all the facts and circumstances, there was no reasonable basis for Taranto’s litigation. The Everest Parties agree to pay as incurred, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which Taranto may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Everest Parties or third parties of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement.

(c)           Notwithstanding the above, the provisions concerning Capital Expenditures are intended to apply only to non-voluntary, unexpected, and new Applicable Requirements.

8.6           Waiver of Subrogation. Without affecting any other rights or remedies, Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and relieve the other, and waive their entire right to recover damages against the other, for loss of or damage to its property arising out of or incident to the perils required to be insured against herein The effect of such releases and waivers is not limited by the amount of insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles applicable hereto.

Except for Lessor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the Premises, Lessor and its agents, Lessor's master or ground lessor, partners and Lenders, from and against any and all claims, loss of rents and/or damages, liens, judgments, penalties, attorneys' and consultants' fees, expenses and/or liabilities arising out of, involving, or in connection with, the use and/or occupancy of the Premises by Lessee.

Lessor's non liability will apply irrespective of the active or passive negligence of Lessor, its agents, partners, or Lenders.

8.9         Failure to Provide Insurance. Lessee acknowledges that any failure on its part to obtain or maintain the insurance required herein will expose Lessor to risks and potentially cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the extent of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, for any month or portion thereof that Lessee does not maintain the required insurance and/or does not provide Lessor with the required binders or certificates evidencing the existence of the required insurance, the Base Rent shall be automatically increased, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, by an amount equal to 10% of the then existing Base Rent or $100, whichever is greater. The parties agree that such increase in Base Rent represents fair and reasonable compensation for the additional risk/costs that Lessor will incur by reason of Lessee's failure to maintain the required insurance.

25.           Disclosures Regarding The Nature of a Real Estate Agency Relationship.

(a)           When entering into a discussion with a real estate agent regarding a real estate transaction, a Lessor or Lessee should from the outset understand what type of agency relationship or representation it has with the agent or agents in the transaction. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge being advised by the Brokers in this transaction, as follows:

(i)            Lessor's Agent. A Lessor's agent under a listing agreement with the Lessor acts as the agent for the Lessor only. A Lessor's agent or subagent has the following affirmative obligations: To the Lessor:  A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Lessor, To the Lessee and the Lessor, a. Diligent exorcise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent's duties. b. A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information obtained from time other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.

(ii)           Lessee's Agent. An agent can agree to act as agent for the Lessee only. In these situations, the agent is not the Lessor's agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensation for services rendered, either in full or in part from the Lessor. An agent acting only for a Lessee has the following affirmative obligations. To the Lessee: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Lessee. To the Lessee and the Lessor, a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent's duties. b. A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. C. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.

(iii)          Agent Representing Both Lessor and Lessee. A real estate agent, either acting directly or through one or more associate licensee, can legally be the agent of both the Lessor and the Losses in a transaction, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Lessor and the Lessee in a dual agency situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both the Lessor and the Lessee: a. A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either Lessor or the Lessee. b. Other duties to the Lessor and the Lessee as slated above in subparagraphs (i) or (ii). in representing bath Lessor and Lessee, the agent may not without the express permission of the respective Party, disclose to the other Party that the Lessor will accept rent in an amount less than that indicated in the listing or that the Lessee is willing to pay a higher than that offered. The above duties of the agent in a real estate transaction do not relieve a Lessor or Lessee from the responsibility to protect their own interests. Lessor and Lessee should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express their understanding of the transaction. A real estate agent is a person qualified to advise about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired, consult a competent professional.

(b)           Brokers have no responsibility with respect to any default or breach hereof by either Party. The Parties agree that no lawsuit or other legal proceeding involving any breach of duty, error or omission relating to this Lease may be brought against Broker more than one year after the Start Date and that the liability (Including court costs and attorneys' fees), of any Broker with respect to any such lawsuit and/or legal proceeding shall not exceed the fee received by such Broker pursuant to this Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on each Broker's liability shall not be applicable to any gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Broker.

(c)           Buyer and Seller agree to identify to Brokers as "Confidential" any communication or information given Brokers that is considered by such Party to be confidential.

26.           No Right To Holdover. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or termination of this Lease. In the event that Lessee holds over, than the Base Rent shall be increased to 150% of the Base Rant applicable immediately preceding the expiration or termination. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as consent by Lessor to any holding over by Lessee.

MAINTENAMCE AND TENANT IMPROVEMENT PROCEDURES

TENANT IMPROVEMENTS - HOW TO AVOID UNNECESSARY EXPENSES.

	
  

	
·

	
Do not paint the floor of your warehouse. Paint will have to be sandblasted off at your expense. A clear seal is acceptable if you require a finished surface.

	
  

	
·

	
Wallpaper will have to be removed when you vacate the unit. The wall must be returned to us paint ready, if not, you will be charged for any expenses we incur to get the walls to this condition.

	
  

	
·

	
Do not glue signs to the internal wood doors, we have to remove them when you leave and if the glue removes the finish and we cannot repair it, you will be charged to replace the door.

	
  

	
·

	
Electrical installations done to code become the property of the landlord. If they are not done to code you will be charged for their removal. If you have any questions you should contact the leasing office before doing any removal.

	
  

	
·

	
Do not attach anything to the marlite in the restroom. Any installations should be made above the marlite level. This is an expensive replacement and you will be charged for it.

	
  

	
·

	
Do not make holes in the bronze moldings around the windows and doors to your unit, inside or outside. Alarm companies will frequently do this. The holes cannot be patched and therefore the bronze molding has to be replaced. This can cost upwards of $800.00. It is possible to do these installations without penetrating the bronze moldings.

	
  

	
·

	
Glued down tile or carpet on the warehouse floor has to be removed. The glue must also be removed. If you do not do this before vacating then we will do it and charge you. Sometimes the glue has to be sandblasted and this gets expensive.

	
  

	
·

	
If you remove any of the handicap door handles in order to install door knobs with locking mechanisms, be sure to save the handicap hardware to reinstall when you leave. Otherwise, you will be charged for the purchase and reinstallation (NOT APPLICABLE TO FULLERTON BUSINESS CENTER).

The Fullerton Fire Department requires storeroom doorknobs (always unlocked from the inside) to be installed on the mandoor. If this doorknob is removed during your occupancy and replaced with a deadbolt or other type hardware, you should save the storeroom doorknob. Please be advised, however, that you will not only be violating the fire code, but will be charged for the purchase and reinstallation of the storeroom doorknob upon vacating the premises, if the original storeroom doorknob is not reinstalled by you.

	
  

	
·

	
Please note that you can be charged rent for the amount of time it takes to repair the damage to your unit when that damage is over and above normal wear and tear.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER OPERATION OF YOUR AIR CONDITIONER:

START UP: If your unit does not operate when your power has been turned on, do the following:

Check all switches on the thermostat to see if they are in the correct position. a Make certain that your circuit breakers have not been turned off.

RULES FOR OPERATION:

	
  

	
·

	
When your unit shuts off, do not start it up again for five (3) minutes. This jiggling of the thermostat can cause a breaker inside the unit to shut off and it can damage the compressor.

	
  

	
·

	
When the heat is in the on position never increase the thermostat more than two (2) degree increments. Changing the thermostat will not effect the temperature of the air that is coming out.

	
  

	
·

	
Always control your system from the thermostat. Do not turn it on and off from the breaker box. This could damage the system.

	
  

	
·

	
On very hot or very cold days do not set the temperature so that the unit will never shut off. 'Typical settings are 78 degrees for cooling and 68 degrees for heating, if the unit is set at an extreme temperature and is not shutting off, it will freeze up and require repair.

  

  

  

REGULAR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES:

	
  

	
·

	
The roll-up or tilt-up doors need to be serviced on a regular basis. The recommended maintenance interval is every six (6) months,

	
  

	
·

	
Both the glass and the metal man doors need periodic servicing. Doors get out of alignment with repeated use and the locks collect dirt and become hard to use.

	
  

	
·

	
Tenants are responsible for cleaning their windows. If they are not cleaned on a regular basis they will build up calcium deposit which will require acid washing to remove. This is an expensive procedure so please make arrangements to clean your windows regularly during your tenancy.

CONNELLY ACT NOTICE

(Revised 3/12/90)

The Connelly Act (California Health & Safety Code section 25912 et seq.) (the "Act") requires that certain information pertaining to asbestos be made available to employees, contractors, tenants, and others. We are providing you with this notice regarding the Fullerton Business Center, Fullerton, California (the "Center") in compliance with this law.

Reports by Diagnostic Engineering, Inc, A limited asbestos survey report (revision) ("Report") dated January 12, 1990, was prepared by Diagnostic Engineering, Inc. ("DEI"). This report contains the results of a limited asbestos survey for asbestos-containing construction material ("ACM"). The survey included visual observation of all office spaces at the Center for spray-applied acoustic material, sampling of suspect acoustic ceiling materials, and laboratory analysis of the 25 bulk samples taken.

The contents of the report include a statement of conclusions, a warning regarding ACM, a list of the friable materials encountered in sample locations, a list of the friable materials and their general locations, a statement of sampling and laboratory procedures, and a work item inventory regarding future removal of the ceiling material.

Laboratory results of the bulk sampling indicated that one of the bulk samples, taken from 2478-K, did not contain asbestos. The other 24 samples of the spray-applied acoustic material collected were found to contain asbestos. These 24 samples were taken from the following office ceiling locations:

2434-A, 2434-B, 2444-J, 2444-F, 2478-A, 2478-C, 2488-K, 2488-I, 2500-B, 2500-D, 2512-A, 2512-D, 2524­C, 2524-G, 2536-I, 2536-L, 2548-J, 2560-F, 2572-A, 2584-H, 24444, and 2560-C.

Analysis of the bulk samples for asbestos content was performed by polarized light microscopy (PLM), according to EPA protocols.

All of the positive bulk samples indicated that the spray-applied acoustic material is friable. Damage ranged from none to minor, air movement was found to be moderate, and access to all of the positive sampled material was found to be high.

The Report concludes that friable ACM is present in the following ceiling locations:

2434-A-I, 2444-A-L, 2478-A-K, 2488-A-K, 2500-A-L, 2512-A-L, 2524-A-L, 2536-A-L, 2548-A-J, 2560-A-J, 2572-A-I, and 2584-A-H.

The report also noted that other building materials which may contain asbestos were not sampled or could not be representatively sampled as part of the survey. These include roofing materials, resilient sheet flooring and mastic, baseboard and mastic, joint compound, and wallboard. These materials and others which may be discovered should be assumed to contain asbestos until confirmed otherwise.

Previously, DEI performed cohesion/adhesion testing of bulk samples of spray-applied acoustic ceiling material from 2488-K, 2512-L, 2584-E, and 2478-E. The cohesion/adhesion testing results indicating that the spray-applied acoustic material sampled is well-secured to the underlying substrate.

Air samples were taken by DEI in the following twelve locations;

2478-A, 2488-K, 2434-H, 2444-D, 2500-A, 2512-J, 2524-A, 2560-A, 2548-J, 2572-J, 2584-H, 2536-K

The air samples were analyzed by phase contrast microscopy (PCM), using EPA protocols. This technology measures all fibers, not just asbestos fibers. The fiber content of the air in each instance of sampling was below the OSHA "action level" of 0.1 f/cc.

The cohesion/adhesion testing results and air sampling results are contained in a prior DE1 report, dated October 31, 1989, This report also contains an executive summary, findings and recommendations, a statement of limitations, an air sample log, a bulk sample log and a cohesion/adhesion test log.

DEI also issued a Limited Site Review report, dated February 28, 1990, which contains observations and recommendations by DEI regarding spray-applied acoustic ceiling materials in locations 2478-I, 2478-K, 2444-L, 2560-F, 2488-1, and 2548-J. This report states that varying amounts of damage to the material was observed in 2478-I, 2478-K, 2444-L, 2560-F, 2488-I, and 2548-J. No observation was made by DEI of 2488-K, but there appears to be damage to the material in that unit. The material in 2478-K was observed to be in good condition.

DEI has recommended removal of the ceiling material in 2560-F, 2488-K and 2548-J. For 2478-1 and 2478-K, DEI has recommended re-Inspection of the material as part of an operations & maintenance ("O&M") program. For 2444-L and 2488-I, DEI has recommended removal of the material if the source of water damage to the material cannot be repaired; if it can be repaired, DEI has recommended re-inspection of this material as part of an 0&M program. Material which is removed will be replaced with a non-ACM product. Until this removal and replacement work is completed, great care must be taken to prevent any disturbance of the material which could result in airborne fiber release and contamination of the occupied space. Center management is working with its consultant to determine the best means of performing this work.

DEI has reviewed the report by M.R. Chasse' Company, dated August 7, 1989, which recommended abatement (by removal or encapsulation) of all of the spray-applied acoustical ceiling material. The Chasse' Report is discussed below. Based upon its observation of the material in place and the results of the testing concluded to

Connelly Act

  

  

  

CONNELLY ACT NOTICE

(Revised 3/12/90)

date, DEI does not believe that encapsulation of the spray-applied acoustical material is an appropriate strategy and does not believe that removal of the material is necessary at this time, except as noted above. Accordingly, DEI has recommended an operations & maintenance ("O&M") plan for management for the remaining ceiling materials, with a long term goal of removal.

Report by M.R. Chasse' Company. A property inspection report ("Chasse' Report"), dated August 7, 1989, was prepared by M. R. Chasse' Company. The Chasse' Report contains the results of an inspection to survey the buildings at the Center for the presence of ACM. The contents of the report include a general statement of the scope of services performed, findings regarding ACM in the Center, and a laboratory report regarding analysis of the bulk samples taken in the Center.

Bulk samples of sprayed-on acoustic ceiling material were analyzed from material taken from 2584-E (south and north offices); 2584 (south and north offices); 2560 (Units D and J and south office); 2536 (Unit B); 2524-C (south and north offices), 2524-H, 2512-G (south and north offices); 2512-I; and 2444-H.

Roof covering material was analyzed from samples taken from 2584, 2572, 2560, 2478, 2500, 2488, 2512, 2524, 2536, 2434, 2444 and 2548 East Fender. Asbestos was not detected in any of these samples. However the analytical detection limit for the tests by Chasse' was 1% asbestos (which is consistent with generally approved bulk sample testing methods under EPA protocols), whereas the Connelly Act defines ACM to mean material with greater than 1/10 of 1% asbestos by weight. Although asbestos at a level of 1% or more was not detected in these samples, it is possible that the sampled roof materials may contain asbestos at a level greater than 1/10 of 1% but less than 1%. A flooring sample from 2584-G also was analyzed and found to contain greater than 1% asbestos.

The sampled acoustic ceiling material was found to be friable and contains asbestos in a concentration sufficient to be considered a hazard to health if disturbed. However, the material was found to be in good condition. The sampled vinyl asbestos flooring was characterized by Chasse' as non-friable, as was• the transite pipe; generally, these materials do not present a hazard unless they are disturbed.

The mere presence of undisturbed and non-friable ACM in a building does not generally present a health hazard. However, exposure to airborne asbestos fibers can cause asbestos is and other asbestos-related diseases. Asbestos is listed under Proposition 65 as a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer. There are uncertainties about the level of exposure which can cause disease. The owners have no special knowledge of the potential health impacts resulting from exposure to asbestos, if you wish to obtain further information regarding potential health risks or impacts of asbestos, you are encouraged to contact your local or state public health agencies.

Asbestos is a hazardous material. When it is contained in ceiling material, roofing material, floor coverings or piping insulation, it can release fibers, if disturbed. Certain general procedures and handling restrictions are necessary when dealing with ACM or potential ACM, as a result. it is important that these materials no be touched, moved, painted, scraped, cut, drilled, bored, sanded, cored, broken or otherwise disturbed in order to prevent and minimize potential release of asbestos fibers. The material should not be penetrated for hangers, cabling, wiring and the like. Such activities may present a health risk and should not be attempted by any person who is not trained in the proper handling and disposal of ACM. Any damage to, or disturbance of, these materials should be reported immediately to the on-site manager.

The reports referred to in this Notice are available for your review and photocopying in the on-site management office at 2478 East Fender, Suite A, Fullerton, California 92631. Please call Karen Doss at (714) 447-0747 if you wish to arrange access to this information. Center management will keep you informed of progress in the on-going planning with regard to the ACM.
