The OSM <br />believes that P&M's primary multi-state policy is not sufficient insurance to cover claims that may <br />occur at two or more operations. P&M disagrees with the OSM's contention; the Company has <br />always maintained adequate insurance coverage. However, to satisfy the OSM's concerns, P&M <br />has an excess liability policy. <br />Liability insurance coverage of at least $300,000 per occurrence and $500,000 aggregate is <br />required in the states where P8M has operations. P&M's renewed CLI fortes have a general <br />liability policy and an excess liability policy. The total liability of these two multi-state policies is <br />$4.5 million per occurence and $7.5 million aggregate. This should provide overall liability <br />coverage to insure all of P&M's operations. (Note: There is one spare coverage in the event P&M <br />permits a new operation in 1997.) This overall liability coverage will be reFlected on the March 1, <br />1997 renewed Certificate of Liability forte which your office should receive from March & McLennan. <br />Enclosed is a summary of P&M's multi-state operations and the amount of required liability <br />insurance. This information indicates that PB,M's multi-state insurance coverage is adequate to <br />comply with regulatory requirements. <br />If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact Mr. John Hinton at (303) <br />930031. <br />Sin ~~l~/ <br />Lisa R.
