(d) the LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any LIBOR Rate Loan,

SCHEDULE 5.8(b)(i)
LITIGATION
Asbestos Litigation
Claims have been asserted alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos-containing components historically used in some products manufactured by predecessors of ALS (Asbestos Liability). ALS, and in some cases Ampco-Pitt Corp., are defendants (among a number of defendants, often in excess of 50) in cases filed in various state and federal courts.
Asbestos Claims
The following table reflects approximate information about the claims for Asbestos Liability against the subsidiaries and Ampco-Pitt Corp. for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:
Three Months Ended March 31 | ||||||||
(dollars in thousands) | 2020 | 2019 | ||||||
Total claims pending at the beginning of the period | 6,102 | 6,772 | ||||||
New claims served | 273 | 333 | ||||||
Claims dismissed | (86 | ) | (90 | ) | ||||
Claims settled | (108 | ) | (56 | ) | ||||
Total claims pending at the end of the period (1) | 6,181 | 6,959 | ||||||
Gross settlement and defense costs (in 000s) (2) | $ | 6,206 | $ | 2,789 | ||||
Average gross settlement and defense costs per claim resolved (in 000s) | $ | 31.99 | $ | 19.10 |
(1) | Included as open claims are approximately 749 and 666 claims in 2020 and 2019, respectively, classified in various jurisdictions as inactive or transferred to a state or federal judicial panel on multi-district litigation, commonly referred to as MDL. |
(2) | Increase in first quarter of 2020 over prior period is principally due to a high volume of settlement documents received in 2020 for cases settled in 2019 but paid in first quarter of 2020. |
A substantial majority of the settlement and defense costs reflected in the above table was reported and paid by insurers. Because claims are often filed and can be settled or dismissed in large groups, the amount and timing of settlements, as well as the number of open claims, can fluctuate significantly from period to period.
