151547P.pdf   02/09/2016  Continental Casualty Company  v.  The Valspar Corporation
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-1547
                          and No:  15-1623
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Smith and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Insurance. The district court did not err in determining 
   defendant National Union had a duty to defend Valspar in claims arising 
   out of the presence of benzene in the company's products and that it had 
   an equitable obligation to pay the costs of the defense; neither Valspar's 
   agreement to pay National Union's costs, Continental's agreement not to 
   recover defense costs from Valspar, nor Continental's alleged failure to 
   pay a small fraction of the costs defeats Continental's right to 
   contribution from National Union.
