MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN SUPPORT OF ACES MOTION FOR RELIEF FROM THE AUTOMATIC STAY DM3\1567892.2 2 ACE American Insurance Company, ACE Property and Casualty Insurance Company and the affiliated insurance and reinsurance companies (collectively, ACE), by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby move for relief from the automatic stay for the purpose of retroactively cancelling, on Debtors request, certain insurance policies issued by ACE to the Debtors (ACE Policies), and respectfully state as follows. INTRODUCTION The Court should find there is cause to grant this motion because the Debtors seek the return of unearned premiums paid for the ACE Policies, but have not moved for relief from stay so that ACE can cancel the ACE Policies. Should relief from stay not be granted, there will be no unearned premiums for ACE to return to the Debtors. ACE and the Debtors are parties to the ACE Policies, including an automobile liability policy (the Auto Policy). After the court-approved sale of their assets, the Debtors requested that ACE retroactively cancel the ACE Policies effective June 17, 2010, and that ACE return to the Debtors any unearned premiums. However, several third parties ( Claimants) submitted claims against the Auto Policy to ACE for losses allegedly occurring after the proposed retroactive cancellation date of June 17, 2010. The ACE Policies are property of the estate and may not be cancelled without relief from the automatic stay. In re Minoco Group of Companies, Ltd., 799 F.2d 517, 519 (9th Cir. 1986). Moreover, retroactive cancellation of the Auto Policy without notice and hearing, may prejudice the Claimants. ACE has proposed to the Debtors to jointly move for relief from the automatic stay for the purpose of retroactively cancelling the ACE Policies, but the Debtors have not responded to that proposal. For these reasons, ACE requests that, after notice and hearing, including notice to the Claimants, this Court grant relief from the automatic stay to ACE, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 362(d), for the purpose of retroactively cancelling the ACE Policies, effective as of June 17, 2010.

On September 30, 2010, the Debtors and their insurance financing company AFCO moved for relief from the automatic stay to, among other things, collect from ACE the unearned premiums for the ACE Policies (AFCO Motion). In that motion, the Debtor and AFCO incorrectly asserted that the ACE Policies had been retroactively cancelled. 3
After several unsuccessful attempts to contact Debtors counsel by telephone, ACEs counsel, Mr. Skolnik, sent a letter dated October 15, 2010, to Debtors counsel via certified mail, Mr. Arnold. (Id., 5, Exhibit A.) In the letter, Mr. Skolnik advised Mr. Arnold of the claims against the Auto Policy and proposed that: (i) the Debtors, jointly with ACE and with notice to the Claimants, move for relief from automatic stay for the purpose of retroactive cancellation of the ACE Policies; and (ii) the Debtors provide the Claimants with information concerning any new insurance carrier that may provide coverage for their claims. (Id., 6.) 4
Debtors counsel has not responded to Mr. Skolniks October 15, 2010, letter. (Id., 7.) On December 3, 2010, the Court entered an Order approving the AFCO Motion. (Dkt. No. 310.) It does not grant relief from stay to ACE to cancel the ACE Policies. ARGUMENT The Court should grant this motion because ACE has demonstrated that there is cause for relief from the automatic stay. The filing of the bankruptcy case stays all acts to exercise control over property of the estate. 11 U.S.C. 362(a); Gruntz v. County of Los Angeles (In re Gruntz), 202 F.3d 1074, 1081-82 (9th Cir. 2000) (en banc). The ACE Policies are property of the Debtors estate; such policies may not be
3 Motion to Approve Stipulation Between AFCO Acceptance Corporation and Debtors 1) Re Payment of Financed Insurance Premiums and for Immediate Relief From Stay in the Event of Non- Payment as to Workers Compensation Insurance; 2) Relief From Stay to Collect Unearned Premiums on Cancelled Policies; and 3) Reservation of Rights as to AFCO's Claim, Dkt. No. 268. 4 As set forth above, substantially all of the Debtors assets were sold to Wave Newco, Inc. effective June 16, 2010. The sold assets included the assets covered by the ACE Policies. Since the ACE Policies were not included in the sale, it is likely that insurance coverage for those assets is provided by Wave Newcos insurance carrier.

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN SUPPORT OF ACES MOTION FOR RELIEF FROM THE AUTOMATIC STAY DM3\1567892.2 5 cancelled without relief from the automatic stay. Minoco, 799 F.2d at 519. Relief from the stay may be granted for cause shown. 11 U.S.C. 362(d)(1). The word cause is not defined in the Bankruptcy Code. Scripps GSB I, LLC v. A Partners, LLC (In re A Partners, LLC), 344 B.R. 114, 127 (Bankr. E.D. Cal. 2006). However, [t]he term cause as used in 362(d)(1) is a broad and flexible concept which permits a bankruptcy court, as a court of equity, to respond to inherently fact- sensitive situations. In re Indian River Estates, Inc., 293 B.R. 429, 433 (Bankr. N.D. Ohio 2003) (citing In re Texas State Optical, Inc., 188 B.R. 552, 556 (Bankr. E.D. Tex. 1995)). Hence, a decision to lift the automatic stay for cause is within the Courts discretion. In re Delaney-Morin, 304 B.R. 365, 369-70 (9th Cir. BAP 2003); In re Leisure Corp., 234 B.R. 916, 920 (9th Cir. BAP 1999); Mataya v. Kissinger (In re Kissinger), 72 F.3d 107, 108-109 (9th Cir. 1995). There is cause to grant relief from stay. The Debtors sold substantially all of their assets and, in particular, the vehicles insured under the Auto Policy, to Wave Newco. Accordingly, the Debtors no longer have an insurable interest in those assets, and the Estate derives no benefit from maintaining insurance policies to insure these assets. Hence, the Debtors no longer need the ACE Policies to protect those assets. Moreover, the Debtors sought to cancel ACE Policies retroactively and a return of the unearned premiums. (Skolnik Dec., 3.) The Court has entered an order authorizing that such premiums be returned. (Dkt. No. 310.) Thus, because this Court granted the AFCO Motion, it should also grant this motion to allow ACE to cancel the AFCO Policies. The retroactive cancellation of the ACE Policies will enable ACE to comply with AFCOs request to return any unearned premiums for the ACE Policies. A copy of this Motion was served on each Claimant. Hence, the Claimants have had notice and an opportunity to object. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS ACE expressly reserves and does not waive any and all of its rights, defenses, limitations and/or exclusions under the ACE Policies and applicable law. ACE further reserves all rights to assert any and all such rights, defenses, limitations and/or exclusions in any appropriate manner or forum whatsoever (including without limitation arbitration, the United States District Courts or any state court).

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN SUPPORT OF ACES MOTION FOR RELIEF FROM THE AUTOMATIC STAY DM3\1567892.2 6 Nothing contained in this Memorandum or the Motion shall be construed as an acknowledgment that any of the ACE Policies cover or otherwise apply to any claims, losses or damages on account of any claims or otherwise, or that any such claims or causes of action are eligible for payment. ACE reserves all of its rights to object to any claim for coverage under any of the ACE Policies and/or any claim for payment under any settlement agreements. Nothing contained in this Memorandum or the Motion shall be construed as an admission or an acknowledgment that the ACE Policies, or any of them, afford coverage to the Claimants claims described herein. Nothing contained in this Memorandum or the Motion shall be deemed to expand any coverage that may otherwise be available under any ACE Policies or any rights to payment under any settlements. CONCLUSION WHEREFORE, ACE respectfully requests that this Court enter an Order granting relief from the automatic stay for the purpose of retroactively cancelling the ACE Policies effective June 17, 2010 at 12:01 A.M., and for such other relief this Court deems just.

Arnold, Esquire Levene, Neale, Bender, Yoo & Brill LLP 10250 Constellation Blvd., Suite 1700 Los Angeles, CA 90067 Re: In re Westcliff Med. Labs., Inc; In re BioLabs, Inc. (Bankr. C.D. Cal.) BLF File No.: 3732-192 Dear Mr. Arnold: As you know, I represent the ACE group of insurance companies, including ACE American Insurance Company and ACE Property and Casualty Insurance Company (collectively, "ACE"). This is concerning the requests by Westcliff Medical Laboratories, Inc. and its co-debtor subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, "Westcliff' or "Debtors") to retroactively cancel insurance policies Nos. 03737153, H08049610 and XOO 02051347 001 (the "ACE Policies") effective June 17,2010. I have left you two voice-mail messages concerning this matter, on September 27 and September 30, 2010, to which you have not responded. We understand that Westcliffs asset sale to Wave Newco, Inc., became effective on June 16,2010. Accordingly, retroactive cancellation effective June 17, 2010 makes sense, since as of that date Westcliff had no insurable interest in the properties covered by the ACE Policies. However, as you know, insurance policies are property of the Debtors' Estates, and their cancellation without the approval of the Bankruptcy Court is viewed as a violation of automatic stay. Furthermore, several third parties have reported claims to ACE under Westcliffs automobile insurance policy No. H08049610 for losses that allegedly occurred after June 17,2010. These claimants are likely to object to the retroactive cancellation of the above-referenced policy unless they are provided with the name of the new carrier and the new claims reporting information. For these reasons, ACE proposes the following: ATTO RN EYS AT LAW A Pennsylvania Professional Corporation Page 3 - Exhibit A Case 8:10-bk-16743-TA Doc 323-3 Filed 12/10/10 Entered 12/10/10 12:22:05 Desc Exhibit A to Declaration of Matthew R. Skolnik Page 1 of 3 BlF Todd M. Arnold, Esquire October 15,2010 Page 2 I. The debtors must move the Bankruptcy Court for relief from automatic stay and an order approving the retroactive cancellation of the ACE Policies. ACE will join the motion. Adequate notice of the motion must be given to third party claimants. 2. The debtors must provide the third party claimants with the name of the new carrier and the new claims reporting information. If you need the names and addresses of the claimants and any other information about the claims, ACE will be happy to provide it to you. Please be advised that ACE cannot retroactively cancel the ACE Policies unless these requirements are satisfied. Similarly, the satisfaction of these requirements is a condition precedent to the return of any insurance premiums, provided that any return premiums would be due under the terms and conditions of the ACE Policies if the Policies are cancelled effective June 17, 2010. I also wanted to let you know that ACE intends to advise the third party claimants of the asset sale, Westcliffs request to retroactively cancel the ACE Policies, and ACE's request that Westcliff provide the claimants with information about the new carrier. Finally, on July 29,2010, ACE mailed to Westcliff and its co-debtor BioLabs, Inc. a Notice of Nonrenewal of Insurance. At that time, ACE had not yet received Westcliffs retroactive cancellation request. Accordingly, the Notice of Nonrenewal was sent in error and should be disregarded. ACE expressly reserves, and does not waive, any of its rights, obligations, claims, defenses, limitations and/or exclusions under the Policies, any related agreements, and applicable law. ACE further reserves all rights to assert any and all such rights, obligations, claims, defenses, limitations and/or exclusions in any appropriate manner or forum whatsoever (including without limitation arbitration, the United States District Courts or any state court). Nothing contained in this response shall be deemed to expand any coverage that may otherwise be available under the ACE Policies.
