MARTIN Q'HALLORAN and
RICHARD MATERO,

                Petitioners.

                V.

ROY DIPASQUALE,

                Respondent,

 PETITIONERS' OBJECTION TO RESPONDENT'S MOTION TO DISMISS AND
                        CROSS-MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

       Petitioners Martin O'Halloran and Richard Mater0 (collectively, "Petitioners") hereby

object to Respondent's Motion to Dismiss and move the Court, pursuant to Court of Chancery

Rule 56, for a final Order in this matter declaring that Respondent Roy DiPasyuale ("DiPasquale")

has been validly removed as a director of Nominal Respondent NSC Holdings, Inc.

        1.       As indicated by Mr. DiPasquale's answer in this action (see Exhibit A to June 15,

2000 letter to the Court from Petitioners' counsel), it appears there is no dispute that the

petitioners had the ability to remove Mr. DiPasquale as a director of NSC Holdings, Inc.

("Holdings") on April 26,200O. See May 22,200O Pascale letter to Bracegirdle (TAB 1 hereto).

Nevertheless, Mr. DiPasquale has refused to concede or stipulate to the validity of his removal



from the Holdings board. SE May 30,200O Wilson letter to Pascale (TAB 2 hereto) (refusing to

enter into Petitioners' proposed Stipulation of Dismissal unless the word "validly" is removed).

       2.       DiPasquale  apparently seeks to "dodge the bullet" of a judicial finding that his
