Schedule 5.1(f)

(Litigation)
 
1.             Dominion Matter.  On or about May 31, 2011, LMC received a complaint filed by Virginia Electric and Power Company (d/b/a Dominion Virginia Power) against LMCS.  The complaint alleges that a job performed by LMCS in November of 2010 did not comply with the specifications due to the material used and that profile measurements were not taken.  The complaint seeks damages of $2,500,000.  LMC and LMCS believe that the material used did comply with specifications and that conditions (controlled by Dominion or its contractor) did not permit for profile measurements.  LMC and/or LMCS have retained local counsel in Virginia and are in the process of preparing a response to the complaint.
