therefore jurisdiction Defendants to UTAH CODE ANN,

properly exercise over pursuant

§7813-3-205(1) and (5).

11, Venue for this action is properly laid in this District and Division pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. 1391 because a substantial portion of the events giving rise to the claims

asserted in this case, including but not limited to negotiation and delivery of the

insurance policies to Headwaters in the state of Utah and breaches of those contracts,

took place here,

II. BACKGROUND FOR PLAINTIFF'S CLAIMS.

a. The ACE Defendants.

12. Illinois Union and ACE American are affiliated entities, having a common

procedures, underwriting staffs and common administrative

parent, common common

personnel. Underwriting information concerning Headwaters obtained by Illinois

Union was available to and shared with ACE American at all times relevant to this

Complaint. Similarly, both Defendants demanded that Headwaters use a captive

140 Broadway 40th Floor, New York, New York 10015, at all
claims organization, ESIS,
COMPLAINT Page 4
2745622.1
 Case 2:09-cv-01079-DB Document 2 Filed 12/08/2009 Page 5 of 16

times pertinent to this matter. Information requested by ESIS from Plaintiff as a part of

the claims process is or

may be relied upon by Defendants as a part of their decision to

deny coverage.
13. Prior to issuing any policies to Headwaters and at all pertinent points

thereafter, Defendants were aware of Headwaters' business and of its products and

activities. Defendants were aware at all points pertinent to this matter that Headwaters'

business included the sale of fly ash or coal combustion products. As an example of this

knowledge and of their willingness to underwrite losses based upon the sale of

Headwaters' fly ash products, Illinois Union policy XSL G18381667 contained a

document known as a "Retained Limits Endorsement" setting a Retained Limit of

$15, 000 each occurrence from CCP Division (Fly Ash)." Later policies issued by each

Defendant contained a single retained limit for all of Headwaters' various divisions,

operations and products, but never excluded products coverage for coal combustion

products, fly ash or for the activities of VFL Technology Incorporated, which was added

as a named insured in 2004.

14. Illinois Union issued four policies of general liability insurance insuring

Headwaters among other businesses as follows:

16. Each of the Illinois Union and ACE American policies just described takes

the same general form. All provide "occurrence" based coverage; that is, coverage of

accidents, including continuing exposure to substantially the same general harmful

conditions, that occur during the policy period. Likewise, each of the Illinois Union and

ACE American policies provides coverage for "bodily injury" and "property damage"
as defined in the policies. "Bodily injury" as defined in the Illinois Union and ACE

American policies includes claims for injury and disease or for biological injury, even at
the cellular level. "Property damage" as defined in the Illinois Union and ACE

COMPLAINT Page 6
2745622, 1
 Case 2:09-cv-01079-DB Document 2 Filed 12/08/2009 Page 7 of 16

American policies includes loss of use of tangible property that has not been injured or

destroyed. The Illinois Union and ACE American policies' provisions governing loss of

use contain "deemer" clauses; that is, even if the loss of use of the property takes place

after the policy has expired it is deemed to have occurred during the policy period or

when the event took place.

17, Each of the Illinois Union and ACE American policies just described is

responsible up to its limits for all damages an insured may be obligated to pay,

regardless of when incurred, because of "bodily injury" or "property damage" during

the policy period.

18. Each of the Illinois Union and ACE American policies just described

obligates its issuing insurer to reimburse Headwaters for defense costs and other

allocated loss adjustment expenses as defined in the policy in excess of the Self-Insured

Retention amount which varies from year to year but never exceeds $50, 000 per year.

Headwaters has exhausted the various policies' Self-Insured Retention amounts or soon

will do so. Under the terms of the policies, as well as applicable law, so long as any

single claim made by a plaintiff creates the potential for coverage under the policy,

Illinois Union and ACE American are obligated to reimburse Headwater for all of its

defense costs above the Self-Insured Retention amount, even if the claims are

groundless, false or fraudulent.

19. Each of the Illinois Union and ACE American policies just described

contains endorsements entirely removing coverage for lead and asbestos. None of the

COMPLAINT Page 7
2745622.1
 Case 2:09-cv-01079-DB Document 2 Filed 12/08/2009 Page 8 of 16

Illinois Union and ACE American policies just described contains any exclusion

specifically referring to fly ash or coal combustion products.

20. All premiums for each policy described in paragraphs 14 and 15 of this

Complaint were timely paid in full.

21. Headwaters has timely complied with all conditions precedent to

coverage under each policy described in paragraphs 14 and 15 of this Complaint.

b. The Zurich defendants.

22. Prior to the acquisition of 100 per cent of its stock by Headwaters in April

2004, VFL Technology Corporation purchased primary, umbrella, environmental

impairment and professional consulting errors and omissions coverage from the Zurich

defendants. Like the ACE defendants, the Zurich defendants are affiliated corporate

entities, sharing common ownership and management at the highest levels. The Zurich

defendants also share common procedures, common underwriting staffs and common

administrative personnel. Information about VFL's business before and after

acquisition of its stock by Headwaters was shared by and between the Zurich

defendants. Information requested by Defendants as a part of the claims process may

be used to deny coverage to Headwaters.

23. The Zurich defendants issued three policies of primary general liability

insurance to VFL as follows:

24. Each of the Zurich American and American Guarantee policies just

described takes the same general form. All provide "occurrence" based coverage; that

is, coverage of accidents, including continuing exposure to substantially the same

general harmful conditions, that occur during the policy period. Likewise, each of the

Zurich American and American Guarantee policies provides coverage for "bodily

injury" and "property damage" as defined in the policies. "Bodily injury" as defined in

the Zurich American and American Guarantee policies includes claims for injury and

disease or for biological injury, even at the cellular level. "Property damage" as defined

in the Zurich American and American Guarantee policies includes loss of use of

tangible property that has not been injured or destroyed. The Zurich American and

American Guarantee policies' provisions governing loss of use contain "deemer"

clauses; that is, even if the loss of use of the property takes place after the policy has

it is deemed to have occurred during the policy period when the event took
expired or

place.
25. Each of the Zurich American and American Guarantee policies just

described is responsible up to its limits for all damages an insured may be obligated to

pay, regardless of when incurred, because of "bodily injury" or "property damage"

during the policy period.

26. Additionally, each of the Zurich American and American Guarantee

policies just described contains a substantial limitation on the pollution exclusion

normally found in a CGL policy. Specifically, each Zurich American and American

Guarantee policy just listed contained a provision stating that its pollution exclusion

did not apply to bodily injury or property damage arising out of listed products

manufactured, sold handled or distributed by VFL as listed on a schedule in the

applicable endorsement. That schedule specifically resulted in coverage for VFL's

"[Nroducts derived from Industrial or Utility Plant Bi-Products [sic], Contaminated Soil
or Waste/Water Facilities." VFL specifically requested such coverage and paid an

additional premium for it,

27. In addition to the three primary CGL policies just described, Steadfast issued

two policies of umbrella insurance to VFL each with limits of $10 million in addition to

the limits described above as follows:

I POLICY NUMBER I POLICY TERM I LIMITS

aggregate
Steadfast SUO 3825595-01 April 1, 2003-june 1, 2004 $10 million per occurrence/

28. These Steadfast policies contained the same provisions found in the

underlying Zurich American and American Guarantee primary policies providing

COMPLAINT Page 10
2745622.1

coverage for VFL's "fpiroducts derived from Industrial or Utility Plant Bi-Products

[sic], Contaminated Soil or Waste/Water Facilities, VFL specifically requested such

coverage and paid an additional premium for it,

29. In addition to these "occurrence" policies issued by the Zurich defendants

prior to the acquisition of VFL's stock by Headwaters, both VFL before its acquisition

and Headwaters afterward maintained claims made-claims reported policies issued by

Steadfast These are:

c. The Underlying litigation.

32. Beginning in late March 2009, Headwaters and VFL Technology

Corporation were named as Defendants in mass tort lawsuits, Fentress Family Trust, et

al., v. Virginia Electric and Power Co., et al., No. CL09-710, and Sears, et al., V. v. Virginia

Electric and Power Co., et A, No. CL09-1914 ["the underlying cases"], each filed in the

Circuit Court for the City of Chesapeake, Virginia. The original Complaints in each of

the underlying cases erroneously named Headwaters Incorporated as a defendant, but

the error has been corrected and Headwaters Resources has been substituted as the

proper party defendant.

33. The Complaints in the underlying cases run to approximately one

thousand pages and allege numerous claims including claims for negligence, products

liability, negligent infliction of emotional distress, nuisance, breach of warranty,

negligent misrepresentation and other claims all arising out of the use of approximately

1.5 million tons of amended coal combustion byproducts allegedly beginning in March
2002 and continuing through 2007 as fill material for the construction of the Battlefield

Golf Club. The Fentress Family Trust complaint alleges, for example, that the golf course
site constituted a nuisance, that Headwaters is liable for a failing to warn about a

defective product and for breaching an express warranty as to the characteristics of the

coal combustion byproducts, and for negligently permitting the material to be placed at
the site without a liner, among other claims. However, neither of the underlying cases

alleges affirmatively or exclusively that Headwaters designed the pit or area where the

COMPLAINT Page 12
2745622.1
 Case 2:09-cv-01079-DB Document 2 Filed 12/08/2009 Page 13 of 16

material was placed at the golf course, supervised the construction of the course or

selected the amending material. Headwaters denies all allegations made against it but

analysis of Defendants' obligations to defend Headwaters must rest upon those

any

allegations, because the duty to defend exists even if the allegations in the underlying

cases are groundless, false and fraudulent.

34. Each plaintiff in the underlying cases seeks substantial damages for past,

present, and future bodily injuries, property damage, nuisance vexation as well as for

removal of the coal combustion byproducts from the golf course. Headwaters denies all

claims for damages asserted against it but any analysis of Defendants' obligations to

defend Headwaters must rest upon those allegations, because the duty to defend exists

even if the allegations in the underlying cases are groundless, false and fraudulent.
35. Headwaters promptly tendered the underlying cases to Defendants and

requested that they honor their contractual obligations to defend and indemnify

Headwaters as required by their policies. Instead of doing so, however, Illinois Union

and ACE American have each expressly repudiated the contractual obligations for

which they received substantial premiums from Headwaters and affiliated entities.

and unreserved denied all coverage for the allegations in the

Each has affirmatively

underlying cases and stated that it will not honor any obligation contained in any of the

policies. The Zurich defendants have not provided any response for over six months

since tender was made to them of the underlying lawsuits as to whether they will honor
their contractual obligations under any of the policies described herein,
COMPLAINT Page 13
2745622.1
 Case 2:09-cv-01079-DB Document 2 Filed 12/08/2009 Page 14 of 16

36. In the meantime, Headwaters has borne the entire burden of defending

itself in the underlying lawsuit, and has expended over $160, 000 to date in defending

itself, an amount that can reliably be expected to increase dramatically as the

underlying litigation continues,

III. CLAIMS FOR RELIEF

Count One Breach of Contract

37. Headwaters incorporates paragraphs 1 through 36 by reference as though

fully set forth.

38. Defendants' repudiation of their contractual obligations is a breach of

their contracts that has proximately caused Headwaters to suffer damages including

attorney's fees, allocated loss adjustment expenses and other costs in the underlying

cases and to be exposed to other future losses in an amount greatly in excess of the

minimum jurisdictional authority of this Court.

39, Plaintiff is entitled to recover its reasonable attorney's fees necessitated to

enforce its rights under the insurance policies described in this case.

Count Two Bad Faith

40, Plaintiff incorporates paragraphs 1 through 39 by reference as though

fully set forth,

41. By virtue of the provisions in the various policies they issued and for

which they accepted substantial premiums, Defendants are fiduciaries and owe Plaintiff

COMPLAINT Page 14
2745622.1
 Case 2:09-cv-01079-DB Document 2 Filed 12/08/2009 Page 15 of 16

the highest degree of care to act fairly and reasonably in the evaluation and disposition

of liability claims against Plaintiff,

42, The ACE defendants have breached this obligation in at least the

following respects: (1) by failing to take into account in their decision to deny coverage
the fact that they accepted substantial premiums from Headwaters with the knowledge
that the CCP material involved in this matter was a product rather than a pollutant as

the terms are used in their policies, thereby rendering Plaintiff's coverage illusory; (2)

by denying coverage based upon "pollution exclusions" in their policies when in fact

the language of those decisions as well as controlling authority construing the decisions

did not support that decision; and (3) by prejudging negatively the circumstances of

the underlying claims and then crafting such investigation as was performed and any

analysis of coverage so as to support that decision rather than being guided by the

language of the policies they issued and controlling authority. Plaintiff reserves the

right to amend to assert other bases in support of this claim as discovery proceeds.
43, The Zurich defendants have breached this obligation at the very least by

failing to respond under any policy issued by any of them for over six months after

being put on notice of the underlying lawsuits, despite the provisions in the policies

described earlier in this complaint, and despite communications from Plaintiff and its

counsel as to the situation, Plaintiff reserves the right to amend to assert other bases in

support of this claim as discovery proceeds.

COMPLAINT Page 15
2745622.1
 Case 2:09-cv-01079-DB Document 2 Filed 12/08/2009 Page 16 of 16

44. As a direct and proximate result of these errors and omissions by

Defendants, Plaintiff has sustained substantial damages as set forth above and also by

having to retain counsel in this action to vindicate its rights. Plaintiff prays for recovery

of its attorney's fees in this action and for any other damages it may prove itself entitled

to, including but not limited to recoveries in excess of Defendants' policy limits in the

event settlement opportunities cannot be accepted because of Defendants' wrongful

conduct.

Jury Demand
45. Plaintiff prays for trial by jury on all claims so triable.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays for judgment in its favor and against Defendants,

for declarations as set forth above, for an award of damages, for its attorney's fees as

prevailing party, for costs, pre- and post-judgment interest as allowed by law and for

such other and further relief as the Court deems appropriate.
