Engelmyer, Esquire Kicinbard, LLC One Libe:ty Place 46" Floor 1650 Market Street Philadelphia, PA 19103 Re: Penn State Matter Our File No.: Engel-119756 Dear Mr. Engeimyer: At your request, | have undertaken a review of numerous materials you provided me concerning the claims and the settlement of those claims arising out the Jerry SanduskyiPenn State matter, | have reviewed the complete Freeh Report and the individual files of those who settled their claims with Penn State. | have also conducted background research and have reviewed many of the files which | have handled over the past several years. You have asked me to review the individual cases and the ‘accompanying information in order to provide you with my opinion concerning the value of the cases and whether there are certain defenses, and in particular, the statute of limitations defense, which could have been raised in some of the matters. ‘As way of background, | have been an attorney licensed to practice in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania since 1973. | am also licensed in the State of Ohio and the State of West Virginia. Our firm has been involved in representing religious institutions, organizations and transportation entities as well as private corporations in matters arising out of claims of sexual abuse for many years, preceding when | started with Meyer Darragh in 1978. | personally have been handling cases involving allegations of sexual abuse for the past 15 years and have represented and continue to represent religious organizations, dioceses, transportation companies and individuals who have become involved in civil matters arising out of claims of sexual abuse. Our firm represented the diocese in Hutchison v. Luddy, which a partner of mine tried starting in 1994. That particular case went to the Superior Court on three occasions and to the Supreme Court on two occasions. | was involved in the last stages of that prasassas) Case ID: 131103195 Control No.: 15111033 Steven J. Engelmyer, Esquire Page 2 case when it was in the Superior Court and | was involved in the final settlement of the matter. | have represented religious institutions and private companies where there have been groups of individuals who have made claims arising out of the alleged abuse by one particular individual as well as groups of claimants arising out of alleged sexual abuse by several individuals who were acting as employees of the organization or corporation. | have settled sexual abuse claims on a group basis as well as an individual basis and continue to do such. Iwas representing a client concerning multiple claims of sexual abuse by several different employees in the early 2000 timeframe when the seminal cases of Meehan v. Archdiocese of Philadelphia, 870 A.2d, 912 (Pa. super. 2005), petition for allocator denied 884 Pa, 717, 885 A.2d 985 (2005), Baselice v. Franciscans Friars Assumption, BVM Providence, Inc., 879 A.2d 270 (Pa. Super. 2005), and Lazarski v. Archdiocese oF Philadelphia, 926 A.2d 457 (Pa. Super. 2007) were decided. Those are the three cases which discussed at length the statute of limitations defense in sexual abuse cases. My research has indicated that there have been no appellate cases which have reversed or in any way modified the decisions of the Superior Court in those cases. Meehan was decided by the Superior Court in March of 2005 and the plaintiffs petitioned the ‘Supreme Court for allocator which the Supreme Court denied in September of 2005. Re-argument was denied in November of 2005. in Baselice, the Superior Court handed down its decision in July of 2005. Finally, Lazarski was decided by the Superior Court in July of 2007. Those three cases address the application of the two year statute of limitations. In 2002, the Pennsylvania legislature amended the statute of limitations for individuais entitled to bring a civil action arising out of childhood sexual abuse to 12 years afer attaining the age of 18. Although the Pennsylvania judiciary has refused to recognize the doctrine of repressed memory, the legislature tacitly adopted such by extending the statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse to 12 years once an individual reaches the age of majority. It has been stated on repeated occasions that in evaluating the defense, the Pennsyivania courts have a strong policy of favoring the strict application of the statute of limitations. See, E.J.M. v. Archdiocese of Philadelphia, 424 Pa, Super. 449, 622 A.2d 1388 (1993), In every one of the cases that | reviewed, the individual was aware of the abuse which was being perpetrated, the identity of the perpetrator, and the identity of the employer or entity with which the perpetrator was affliated. Under Pennsylvania law, neither the discovery rule nor the doctrine of fraudulent concealment would have been a viable exception to the statute of limitation defense. Being that the statute of limitations is a policy which is strongly favored by the Pennsylvania courts and is given strict application, any exception to the rule is extremely limited. E..M. v. Archdiocese of Philadelphia, supra, 424 Pa. super. 449 at 450, 622 A.2d 1388 at 1304 (1993) wravaase.s; Case ID: 131103195 Control No.: 15111033 Steven J. Engelmyer, Esquire Page 3 The rationale of the decisions in Meehan, Baselice and Lazerski has not been affected by the extended childhood sexual abuse statute. Therefore, if a lawsuit had not been initiated by the time an individual reached 30 years of age, the statute of limitations under Pennsylvania law would be an absolute defense. The stalute is not retroactive so as to revive a claim for which the statute had already expired, With respect to my analysis of the individual claims, | have analyzed each case based on all of the information which was provided to me. | have provided a summary of the important information pertaining to each claim and then my analysis of the claim and my opinion conceming the settlement value based on my background and experience. Where | believe that the statute of imitations was an affirmative defense, | state such and do not provide an opinion conceming the settlement value of the case because the statute was a complete defense. In my analysis, | consider the strengths and weaknesses of each case. Since all of the cases involve claims for emotional and psychological damages, background information and verification of the claims is essential when determining the settlement value, Some of the comments in the individual summaries are a reflection of my approach to the analysis of the case for settlement purposes. The absence of documentation was an important part of my evaluation. In many of the individual cases, there was no signed affidavit, statement or other means of personal verification of the information which I reviewed. The documentation provided in almost all of the case included a report from Finberg & Rozen. However, the reports were not signed by individual claimants. It appears as though Penn State made litle effort, if any, to verify the credibility of the claims of the individuals Where documentation was provided, such as medical records and reports, psychological evaluations and therapy records, | gave them due consideration. | also took into consideration the evaluator and the purpose for which the evaluation was performed. Obviously, the analysis of a claim involving sexual abuse is multifaceted and since damages are not empirical, such as in most personal injuries cases, the more information that is available the more complete the analysis, During the course of my analysis of the individual cases, | had an opportunity to review information concerning Penn State's evaluations. Generally speaking, it appears as though the amounts of the settlement were high and in some cases extremely high. Not having the benefit of knowing what analytical process was employed by the evaluato's, | do not know why so many of the cases were settled for such high sums of money. Based on my experience, | believe there was a component of potential punitive damages which factored into Penn State's evaluations. Also present in the analytical process may have been a concern about publicity and a desire to resolve the matters very quickly. p1214358.1) Case ID: Control No. 131103195 15111033 Steven J. Engelmyer, Esquire Page 4 | only provide what my opinion is concerning the settlement value, My analysis, and opinions are based on my background, education, training and experience as a tral attorney and are set forth with a reasonable degree of certainty. IF additional information is provided for any particular claim, | would welcome the opportunity to review the additional information and, if appropriate, alter my opinion concerning the value of the particular case. ‘Very truly yours, vi Faca a pEashersom— ENA/emr (1214288.

John Doe stated that there were occasions when Sandusiy put his arm around John Doe when they were working oul and there were numerous occasions when they were at the pond “where he would have me masturbate him." Exactly when that ‘occurred in terms of the hot tub incident was uncertain. There were occasions when Sandusky would take showers with John Doe. However, other people would be in the shower as well, Sandusky gave John Doe shoes, a sweat suit and took him places, such as movies, for ice crearn and took him to basketball games al the Bryce Jordan Center and to the Penn State football games on campus.

He did not tell his mother. He told his father in 2011 when everything became public. John Doe stated that he observed other kids molested by Sandusky. They occurred during sleepovers when he would watch Sandusky lay on this one female and grind with her. ‘When the incident occurred in the hot tub, there were other Second Mile kids in the hot tub. He does not know if anyone saw Sandusky touch his genitals. When that (Praneroan) 19 Case ID: 131103195 Control No.: 15111033 occurred got out of the hot tub.

Conclusion The initial claim was made by correspondence from dated August 7, 2072. At that time, was 31 years old. The statute of limitations on his ciaim would have expired on 2001, before the minor's sexual assault statute of limitations was amended and went into effect. The statute of limitations was a complete defense to the claim ol There is no question that knew that he wes abused, he knew who his abuser was and he knew Sandusky's affiliation was with the Second Mile Program and Penn State University, Therefore, the discovery rule or the doctrine of fraudulent concealment would not be available to to avoid the application of the statute of limitations as a complete defense to his claim.

The potential trigge: of insurance coverage under the 1998 Policy is the happening of an “occurrence” within the meaning of the Policy which takes place in the poliey period. The Insuring Agreement in the 1998 Policy provides coverage in relevant part as follows: 1.

Engelmyer, Esquire Kleinbard, LLC One Liberty Place 46" Floor 1650 Market Street Philadelphia, PA 19103 Re: Penn State Matter Our File No.: Engel-119756 Dear Mr. Engelmyer: ‘At your request, | have undertaken a review of numerous materials you provided me concerning the claims and the settlement of those claims arising out the Jerry Sandusky/Penn State matter. | have reviewed the complete Freeh Report and the individual files of those who settled their claims with Penn State. | have also conducted background research and have reviewed many of the files which | have handled over the past several years. You have asked me to review the individual cases and the accompanying information in order to provide you with my opinion conceming the value of the cases and whether there are certain defenses, and in particular, the statute of limitations defense, which could have been raised in some of the matters. ‘As way of background, | have been an attorney licensed to practice in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania since 1973. | am also licensed in the State of Ohio and the State of West Virginia. Our fim has been involved in representing religious institutions, organizations and transportation entities as well as private corporations in matters arising out of claims of sexual abuse for many years, preceding when | started with Meyer Darragh in 1978. | personally have been handling cases involving allegations of sexual abuse for the past 15 years and have represented and continue 10 tepresent religious organizations, dioceses, transportation companies and individuals who have become involved in civil matters arising out of claims of sexual abuse. Our firm represented the diocese in Hutchison v. Luddy, which a partner of mine tried starting in 1994. That particular case went to the Superior Court on three occasions and to the Supreme Court on two occasions. | was involved in the last stages of that (121986. Case ID: 131103195 Control No.: 15111034 Steven J. Engelmyer, Esquire Page 2 case when it was in the Superior Court and | was involved in the final settlement of the matter. | have represented religious institutions and private companies where there have been groups of individuals who have made claims arising out of the alleged abuse by fone particular individual as well as groups of claimants arising out of alleged sexual abuse by several individuals who were acting as employees of the organization or corporation. | have settled sexual abuse claims on a group basis as well as an individual basis and continue to do such, Iwas representing a client concerning multiple claims of sexual abuse by several different employees in the early 2000 timeframe when the seminal cases of Meehan v. Archdiocese of Philadelphia, 870 A.2d, 912 (Pa. super. 2005), petition for allocator denied 584 Pa. 717, 885 A.2d 985 (2005), Baselice v. Franciscans Friars Assumption, BVM Providence, inc., 879 A.2d 270 (Pa. Super. 2005), and Lazarskiv. Archdiocese of Philadelphia, 926 A.2d 457 (Pa. Super. 2007) were decided. Those are the three cases which discussed at length the statute of limitations defense in sexual abuse cases. My research has indicated that there have been no appellate cases which have reversed or in any way modified the decisions of the Superior Court in those cases. Meehan was decided by the Superior Court in March of 2005 and the plaintiffs petitioned the ‘Supreme Court for allocator which the Supreme Court denied in September of 2005. Re-argument was denied in November of 2005. in Basefice, the Superior Court handed down its decision in July of 2005. Finally, Lazarski was decided by the Superior Court in July of 2007. Those three cases address the application of the two year statute of limitations. In 2002, the Pennsylvania legislature amended the statute of limitations for individuals entitled to bring a civil action arising out of childhood sexual abuse to 12 years after attaining the age of 18. Although the Pennsylvania judiciary has refused to recognize the doctrine of repressed memory, the legislature tacitly adopted such by extending the statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse to 12 years once an individual reaches the age of majority It has been stated on repeated occasions that in evaluating the defense, the Pennsylvania courts have a strong policy of favoring the strict application of the statute of limitations. See, E.J.M. v. Archdiocese of Philadelphia, 424 Pa. Super. 449, 622 A.2d 1388 (1993). In every one of the cases that | reviewed, the individual was aware of the abuse which was being perpetrated, the identity of the perpetrator, and the identity of the employer or entity with which the perpetrator was affliated. Under Pennsylvania law, neither the discovery rule nor the doctrine of fraudulent concealment would have been a viable exception to the statute of limitation defense. Being that the statute of limitations is a policy which is strongly favored by the Pennsylvania courts and is given strict application, any exception to the rule is extremely limited. Ev.M. v. Archdiocese of Philadelphia, supra, 424 Pa, super. 449 at 460, 622 A.2d 1388 at 1394 (1993) 11244368.) Case ID: 131103195 Control No. 15111034 Steven J. Engelmyer, Esquire Page 3 The rationale of the decisions in Meehan, Baselice and Lazarski has not been affected by the extended childhood sexual abuse statute. Therefore, if a lawsuit had not been initiated by the time an individual reached 30 years of age, the statute of limitations under Pennsylvania law would be an absolute defense. The statute is not retroactive so as to revive a claim for which the statute had already expired With respect to my analysis of the individual claims, | have analyzed each case based on all of the information which was provided to me. | have provided a summary of the imyortant information pertaining to each claim and then my analysis of the claim and my opinion concerning the settiement value based on my background and experience. Where | believe that the statute of limitations was an affirmative defense, | state such and do not provide an opinion concerning the settlement value of the case because the statute was a complete defense. In my analysis, | consider the strengths and weaknesses of each case. Since all of the cases involve claims for emotional and psychological damages, background information and verification of the claims is, ‘essential when determining the settlement value. Some of the comments in the individual summaries are a reflection of my approach to the analysis of the case for settlement purposes. The absence of documentation was an important part of my evaluation. In many of the individual cases, there was no signed affidavit, statement or other means of personal verification of the information which | reviewed. The documentation provided in almost all of the case included a report from Finberg & Rozen. However, the reports were not signed by individual claimants. It appears as though Penn State made little effort, if any, to verify the credibility of the claims of the individuals, Where documentation was provided, such as medical records and reports, psychological evaluations and therapy records, | gave them dus consideration, | also took into consideration the evaluator and the purpose for which the evaluation was performed. Obviously, the analysis of a claim involving sexual abuse is multifaceted and since damages are not empirical, such as in most personal injuries cases, the more information that is available the more complete the analysis. During the course of my analysis of the individual cases, | had an opportunity to review information concerning Penn State's evaluations. Generally speaking, it appears as though the amounts of the settlement were high and in some cases extremely high. Not having the benefit of knowing what analytical process was employed by the evaluators, | do not know why so many of the cases were settled for such high sums of money. Based on my experience, | believe there was a component of potential punitive damages which factored into Penn State's evaluations. Also present in the analytical process may have been a concern about publicity and a desire to resolve the matters very quickly. er214358.) Case ID: Control No. 131103195 15111034 Steven J. Engelmyer, Esquire Page 4 only provide what my opinion is concerning the settlement value, My analysis and opinions are based on my background, education, training and experience as a trial attorney and are set forth with a reasonable degree of certainty. If additional information is provided for any particular claim, | would welcome the opportunity to review the additional information and, if appropriate, alter my opinion concerning the value of the particular case.

John Doe stated that there were occasions when Sandusky put his arm around John Doe when they were working out and there were numerous occasions when they were at the pond "where he would have me masturbate him.” Exactly when that occurred in terms of the hot tub incident was uncertain. There were occasions when Sandusky would take showers with John Doe. However, other people would be in the shower as well. Sandusky gave John Doe shoes, a sweat sult and took him places, such as movies, for ice cream and took him to basketball games at the Bryce Jordan Center and to the Penn State football games on campus.

Conclusion The initial claim was made by correspondence from dated August 7, 2012. At that time, ‘was 31 years old. The statute of limitations on his claim would have expired on 2001, before the minor's sexual assault statute of limitations was amended and went into effect. The statute of limitations was a complete defense to the claim of ‘There is no question that knew that he was abused, he knew who his abuser was and he knew Sandusky's affiliation was with the Second Mille Program and Penn State University.
