MEMORANDUM*

2
Because Cameron was not obligated to Christiana, neither was Commercial Union.  The only exception might have been if Commercial Union had wrongfully refused to defend Cameron.  See Samson v. Transamerica Ins. Co., 636 P.2d 32, 42-43 (Cal. 1981).  No facts were alleged, however, that created a triable issue as to the duty to defend.  The 1981-1984 insurance policy had been exhausted.  Attendance of Commercial Union's counsel at a meeting to discuss the possibility of early manifestation of damage did not prove manifestation during the unexhausted 1980-1981 policy term; Christiana proffered no other evidence on this point.
