On February 11, 2002, the Refractory Ceramic Fibers Coalition (RCFC) and the U.S. Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) introduced a voluntary worker protection program entitled PSP 2002, a
comprehensive, multi-faceted risk management program designed to control and reduce workplace exposures to
refractory ceramic fiber (RCF). Unifrax Corporation, as a member of RCFC, is participating in this highly
