AXIAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES

MANUFACTURING EXPANSION
PITTSBURGH – Axial Corporation will soon start construction on a new 20,000-square-foot factory in
Whitehall, Pennsylvania. According to a press release this Thursday, it will begin to work on the new
facility starting this March with plans to be operational before December this year. The current factory
in Wilkinsburg will remain as the main manufacturing facility.

“This new plant will enable the continued growth in the manufacturing of our automobile engine fan
units by providing increased production capacity and the ability to fulfill larger orders in a shorter time
span,” said Gordon Mackay, Axial Corporation COO.

Axial Corporation is currently the largest domestic producer of industrial fans that are installed in such
products as vehicles, computers, and generators. Its profits totaled $78 million last year. Axial
Corporation was founded by Frank R. Hudson 56 years ago and at that time employed just five full-
time workers. The business has since grown into one of the largest employers in the area, making it
an important pillar of the local economy. With the addition of a new manufacturing facility, Axial
Corporation plans to hire hundreds of new employees by the end of the year.

To: Sean Lambert <slambert@kaystone.com>, Gavin Chapman <gchapman@keystone.com>

From: Joan Grant <jgrant@keystone.com>
Date: June 23
Subject: West Bank construction project

Dear Mr. Lambert and Mr. Chapman,

A number of issues have come to my attention regarding the materials to be used in the West
Bank construction site. I have already discussed these matters with our supplier’s representative
at Masonry, Keith Nolan.

As this project is due for completion next year, it will be subject to the European regulations
coming into effect on January 1, which means we need to have collaboration among our
construction team managers like yourselves, our purchasers, and our suppliers to ensure we
meet all requirements. If not, we could face a potential fine or costly reconstruction. Both are
outcomes we simply must avoid if this is to remain a profitable exercise.

I was informed yesterday that we had ordered a kind of cement that is only authorized for
residential use and not for commercial real estate development. Fortunately, the representative
at Masonry spotted the error and alerted me immediately. A similar situation with floor titles also
showed up when I went through the supplies inventory.

From now on, please send all purchase order forms to my assistant, Mandy Wilson
(mwilson@keystone.com). I will review them to keep these problems from arising in the future.
Masonry staff members have been instructed to refuse any orders without my signature. While
this may mean a delay in procurement, it will save us money in the long run.

Yours sincerely,

Joan Grant

When stepping into the museum, visitors will experience Edinburg as it was 2,000 years

art makes use of a range of media, including paint, video, and even recycled material. All
the pieces in the exhibition are Mr. Cunningham’s creations.

Admissions: $10 per person

Merce Cunningham will discuss his exhibition at the Griffin Gallery on the museum’s fourth
