STATEMENT OF ISSUES ON APPEAL

The Libby Claimants hereby submit the following statement of issues presented by this
appeal:
Did the Bankruptcy Court have

Claimants '

pending

debtor party, BNSF Railway

predecessors , the Great Northern Railway Company, the Burlington Northern Railway Company,

and the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Company (" BNSF" ), where the litigation asserts
claims against BNSF for its own tortious conduct?

Even if the
litigation , did the Bankruptcy Court err in staying the Libby Claimants ' pending litigation against
BNSF based solely on BNSF' s own tortious conduct without requiring Debtor W. R. Grace &
Co. , Inc. to establish grounds for entry of an injunction against independent third- party litigation

under the stringent standards established by caselaw?
