ARTICLE VI.                                                                 LITIGATION TRUST

 

6.1        Litigation Trust Agreement.

 

The Litigation Trust shall be governed and administered in accordance with the Litigation Trust Agreement and this Plan, including, but not limited to (a) distributions to

 

21



 

Litigation Trust Beneficiaries, (b) authority and appointment of the Litigation Trust Trustee, (c) authority and appointment of the Litigation Trust Oversight Board, (d) compensation of the Litigation Trust Trustee, (e) vesting of Litigation Trust Assets, (f) payment of costs and expenses of the Litigation Trust, and (g) repayment of the Litigation Trust Initial Funding, all of which shall be consistent with the terms of this Plan and the Litigation Trust Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts required for sub-clauses (d) or (f) shall come, first, from the Litigation Trust Initial Funding and, then, to the extent the Litigation Trust Initial Funding is exhausted, from other Litigation Trust Assets.  In addition and for the avoidance of doubt, the Litigation Trust shall be structured to ensure that any distributions to be made therefrom, and any proceeds derived from Litigation Trust Assets, shall be separated by appropriate Debtor entity and distributed according to Debtor-by-Debtor recoveries set forth in this Plan and there shall be no substantive consolidation of Debtor-entity recoveries.  The Litigation Trust shall be administered on a Debtor-by-Debtor basis, effectively as a separate trust for each Debtor entity.  This principle may not be changed in the Litigation Trust Agreement by anything less than 100% consent of the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries.

 

6.2        Tax Treatment.

 

It is intended that the Litigation Trust be classified for federal income tax purposes as a “liquidating trust” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(d) and as a “grantor trust” within the meaning of Sections 671 through 679 of the Internal Revenue Code, with no objective to continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business.  In furtherance of this objective, the Litigation Trust Trustee shall, in its business judgment, make continuing best efforts not to unduly prolong the duration of the Litigation Trust.  All assets held by the Litigation Trust on the Effective Date shall be deemed for federal income tax purposes (i) to have been distributed (subject to any obligations relating to such assets) by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors on a Pro Rata share basis to the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries (other than the assets allocable to any disputed ownership fund) in partial satisfaction of their Allowed Claims (with each such Litigation Trust Beneficiary receiving an undivided interest in such assets in accordance with its economic interests in such assets) and (ii) immediately thereafter contributed by such Litigation Trust Beneficiaries to the Litigation Trust in exchange for their Litigation Trust Interests.  The Debtors and all Litigation Trust Beneficiaries shall use the valuation of the assets transferred to the Litigation Trust as established by the Litigation Trust Trustee for all federal income tax purposes.  The Litigation Trust Beneficiaries will be treated as the deemed owners of the Litigation Trust (other than the assets allocable to any disputed ownership fund) consistent with their economic interests therein, for all federal income tax purposes.  The Litigation Trust will be responsible for filing information on behalf of the Litigation Trust as grantor trust pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.671-4(a).

 

Subject to contrary definitive guidance from the Internal Revenue Service or a court of competent jurisdiction (including the receipt by the Litigation Trust Trustee of a private letter ruling if the Litigation Trust Trustee so requests, or the receipt of an adverse determination by the Internal Revenue Service upon audit if not contested by the Litigation Trust Trustee), the Litigation Trust Trustee may (A) timely elect to treat any disputed claims reserve as a “disputed ownership fund” governed by Treasury Regulation section 1.468B- 9 and (B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, report consistently with the foregoing for state and local income tax purposes.  All parties (including the Litigation Trust Trustee, the Debtors and the Litigation Trust

 

22



 

Beneficiaries) shall report for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes consistently with the foregoing.

 

The Litigation Trust Trustee may withhold and pay to the appropriate taxing authority all amounts required to be withheld pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code or any provision of any foreign, state or local tax law with respect to any payment or distribution to the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries.  All such amounts withheld and paid to the appropriate taxing authority shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Litigation Trust Beneficiaries for all purposes of the Litigation Trust Agreement.  The Litigation Trust Trustee shall be authorized to collect such tax information from the Litigation Trust Beneficiaries (including, without limitation, social security numbers or other tax identification numbers) as it, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to effectuate the Plan, the Confirmation Order and the Litigation Trust Agreement.  In order to receive distributions under the Plan, all Litigation Trust Beneficiaries will need to identify themselves to the Litigation Trust Trustee and provide tax information and the specifics of their holdings, to the extent the Litigation Trust Trustee deems appropriate (including completing the appropriate Form W-8 or Form W-9, as applicable).  This identification requirement may, in certain cases, extend to holders who hold their securities in street name.  The Litigation Trust Trustee may refuse to make a distribution to any Litigation Trust Beneficiary that fails to furnish such information in a timely fashion, until such information is delivered; provided, however, that, upon the delivery of such information by a Litigation Trust Beneficiary, the Litigation Trust Trustee shall make such distribution to which the Litigation Trust Beneficiary is entitled, without interest; and, provided, further, that, if the Litigation Trust Trustee fails to withhold in respect of amounts received or distributable with respect to any such holder and the Litigation Trust Trustee is later held liable for the amount of such withholding, such holder shall reimburse the Litigation Trust Trustee for such liability.

 

6.3        Litigation Trust Assets.

 

On the Effective Date, or on such other date as is set forth in the Litigation Trust Agreement, pursuant to section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Litigation Trust Assets shall be transferred by the Debtors (and deemed transferred) to the Litigation Trust free and clear of all Claims, Liens, charges, encumbrances, rights, and interests, without the need for any Person to take any further action or obtain any approval and the Litigation Trust shall be authorized as the representative of the Estates to pursue Litigation Trust Causes of Action.

 

6.4        Litigation Trust Causes of Action.

 

(a)           Litigation Trust Causes of Action shall exclude any action released or settled by the Debtors pursuant to this Plan or an order of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

(b)           The Litigation Trust Trustee or any successors may pursue such litigation claims in accordance with the best interests of the Litigation Trust or any successor holding such rights of action.  No Person may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure Statement to any Litigation Trust Cause of Action against them as any indication that the Litigation Trust will not pursue any and all available Litigation Trust Causes of Action against them.  The Litigation Trust expressly reserves all rights to prosecute any and all Litigation Trust Causes of Action

 

23



 

against any Person, except as otherwise provided in the Plan.  Unless any Litigation Trust Causes of Action against a Person are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or an order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Litigation Trust expressly reserves all Litigation Trust Causes of Action for later adjudication, and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise), or laches, shall apply to such Litigation Trust Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of confirmation or consummation of the Plan.

 

6.5        Lease Rejection Claims, Medical Malpractice Claims and General Unsecured Claims Resolution.

 

Prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors and, following the Effective Date, Litigation Trust Trustee (with funds from the Litigation Trust Initial Funding), shall be responsible for (a) all aspects of Lease Rejection Claims, Medical Malpractice Claims and General Unsecured Claims reconciliation process, and (b) all of the costs associated with such reconciliation.  The Debtors or the Litigation Trust Trustee, as applicable, shall (x) object to the Lease Rejection Claims, Medical Malpractice Claims and General Unsecured Claims (other than Lease Rejection Claims, Medical Malpractice Claims and General Unsecured Claims Allowed by court order) and (y) use commercially reasonable efforts in administering all aspects of the Claims reconciliation process.  All costs necessary to fund the Lease Rejection Claims, Medical Malpractice Claims and General Unsecured Claims reconciliation process following the Effective Date shall be paid from the Litigation Trust Initial Funding.

 

6.6        Transition Services.

 

To the extent reasonably necessary to permit the Litigation Trust Trustee to pursue claims and to object and resolve creditor claims, the Reorganized Debtors and the Litigation Trust Trustee shall enter into a Transition Services Agreement to permit such access without disruption of the Reorganized Debtors’ business.

 

6.7        Indemnification and Exculpation.

 

The Litigation Trust Trustee or the individuals comprising the Litigation Trust Trustee, as the case may be, and the Litigation Trust Trustee’s agents and professionals, shall not be liable for actions taken or omitted in its capacity as, or on behalf of, the Litigation Trust Trustee, except those acts arising out of its or their own willful misconduct or gross negligence, and each shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement for fees and expenses in defending any and all of its actions or inactions in its capacity as, or on behalf of, the Litigation Trust Trustee, except for any actions or inactions involving willful misconduct or gross negligence.  Any indemnification claim of the Litigation Trust Trustee (and the other parties entitled to indemnification under this subsection) shall be satisfied first from the Litigation Trust Initial Funding and, then, to the extent the Litigation Trust Initial Funding is exhausted, from other Litigation Trust Assets.  The Litigation Trust Trustee shall be entitled to rely, in good faith, on the advice of its retained professionals.

 

24



 

6.8        Preservation of Privilege and Defenses.

 

No action taken by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors in connection with this Plan, shall be (or be deemed to be) a waiver of any privilege or immunity of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, including any attorney-client privilege or work-product privilege attaching to any documents or communications (whether written or oral).  The Confirmation Order shall provide that notwithstanding the Reorganized Debtors’ providing any privileged information to the Litigation Trust Trustee, the Litigation Trust, or any party or person associated with the Litigation Trust, such privileged information shall be without waiver in recognition of the joint and/or successorship interest in prosecuting any Claim or Cause of Action on behalf of the Estates and shall remain privileged.  The Confirmation Order shall provide that the Litigation Trust shall have no right to waive the attorney-client privilege, work product or other protection of any information received from the Reorganized Debtors.  The Debtors (or the Reorganized Debtors) retain the right to waive their own privileges.  The Litigation Trust shall have no right to any privileged information or analysis of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors.

 

6.9        No Bonding of Litigation Trust Claims.

 

There shall be no bonding of the Litigation Trust Trustee.

 

ARTICLE VII.                                                            DISTRIBUTIONS.

 

7.1        Distributions Generally.

 

The Disbursing Agent shall make all Plan Distributions to the appropriate holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests as applicable and in accordance with the terms of this Plan.

As of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the various lists of holders of Claims in each Class, as maintained by the Debtors or their agents, shall be deemed closed, and there shall be no further changes in the record holders of any Claims after the Distribution Record Date.  Neither the Debtors nor the Disbursing Agent shall have any obligation to recognize any transfer of a Claim occurring after the close of business on the Distribution Record Date.  In addition, with respect to payment of any Cure Amounts or disputes over any Cure Amounts, neither the Debtors nor the Disbursing Agent shall have any obligation to recognize or deal with any party other than the non-Debtor party to the applicable executory contract or unexpired lease, even if such non-Debtor party has sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred its Claim for a Cure Amount.

 

25



 

7.4        Disbursing Agent.

 

Other than distributions by the Litigation Trust Trustee, all distributions under this Plan shall be made by the Disbursing Agent on and after the Effective Date as provided herein.  The Disbursing Agent shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties.  The Reorganized Debtors shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Disbursing Agent (if other than the Reorganized Debtors) with the amounts of Claims and the identities and addresses of holders of Claims, in each case, as set forth in the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ books and records.  The Reorganized Debtors shall cooperate in good faith with the applicable Disbursing Agent (if other than the Reorganized Debtors) to comply with the reporting and withholding requirements outlined in section 7.15 hereof.

 

7.5        Delivery of Distributions.

 

The Disbursing Agent will issue or cause to be issued, the applicable consideration under this Plan and, subject to Bankruptcy Rule 9010, will make all distributions to any holder of an Allowed Claim as and when required by this Plan at:  (a) the address of such holder on the books and records of the Debtors or their agents; or (b) at the address in any written notice of address change delivered to the Debtors or the Disbursing Agent, including any addresses included on any transfers of Claim filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001.  In the event that any distribution to any holder is returned as undeliverable, no distribution or payment to such holder shall be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent has been notified of the then-current address of such holder, at which time or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable such distribution shall be made to such holder without interest.

 

7.6        Unclaimed Property.

 

One year from the later of:  (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the date a Claim is first Allowed, all distributions payable on account of such Claim shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors or their successors or assigns, and all claims of any other Person (including the holder of a Claim in the same Class) to such distribution shall be discharged and forever barred.  The Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent shall have no obligation to attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed Claim other than by reviewing the Debtors’ books and records and the Bankruptcy Court’s filings.

 

7.7        Satisfaction of Claims.

 

Unless otherwise provided herein, any distributions and deliveries to be made on account of Allowed Claims under this Plan shall be in complete and final satisfaction, settlement, and discharge of and exchange for such Allowed Claims.

26



 

7.9        Fractional Shares and De Minimis Cash Distributions.

 

No fractional New Equity Interests shall be distributed.  When any distribution would otherwise result in the issuance of a number of New Equity Interests that is not a whole number, the New Equity Interests subject to such distribution shall be rounded to the next higher or lower whole number as follows:  (i) fractions equal to or greater than 1/2 shall be rounded to the next higher whole number, and (ii) fractions less than 1/2 shall be rounded to the next lower whole number.  The total number of New Equity Interests to be distributed on account of Allowed Claims will be adjusted as necessary to account for the rounding provided for herein.  No consideration will be provided in lieu of fractional shares that are rounded down.  Neither the Reorganized Debtors nor the Disbursing Agent shall have any obligation to make a partial distribution of a New Equity Interest or a distribution of Cash less than $50.00.

 

7.10      No Distribution in Excess of Amount of Allowed Claim.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, no holder of an Allowed Claim shall receive, on account of such Allowed Claim, Plan Distributions in excess of the Allowed amount of such Claim.

Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, to the extent that any Allowed Claim entitled to a distribution under this Plan is comprised of indebtedness and accrued but unpaid interest thereon, such distribution shall be allocated first to the principal amount (as determined for federal income tax purposes) of the Claim and then to accrued but unpaid interest.

 

7.12      Exemption from Securities Laws.

 

The issuance of and the distribution under this Plan of the New Equity Interests in the Designated Debtors shall be exempt from registration under the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.  These Securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act or other federal securities laws pursuant to the exemption provided by section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act, unless the holder is an “underwriter” with respect to such Securities, as that term is defined in section 1145(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.  In addition, such section 1145 exempt Securities generally may be resold without registration under state securities laws pursuant to various exemptions provided by the respective laws of the several states.

 

7.13      Setoffs and Recoupments.

 

Each Reorganized Debtor, or such entity’s designee as instructed by such Reorganized Debtor, may, pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable nonbankruptcy law, offset or recoup against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to this Plan on account of such Allowed Claim any and all claims, rights, and Causes of Action that a Reorganized Debtor or its successors may hold against the holder of such Allowed Claim after the Effective Date to the extent such setoff or recoupment is either (1) agreed in amount among the relevant Reorganized Debtor(s) and holder of the Allowed Claim or (2) otherwise adjudicated by the Bankruptcy Court or another court of competent jurisdiction;

 

27



 

provided, that neither the failure to effect a setoff or recoupment nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder will constitute a waiver or release by a Reorganized Debtor or its successor of any claims, rights, or Causes of Action that a Reorganized Debtor or it successor or assign may possess against such holder.

 

7.14      Rights and Powers of Disbursing Agent.

 

(a)           Powers of Disbursing Agent.  The Disbursing Agent shall be empowered to:  (i) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments, and other documents necessary to perform its duties under this Plan; (ii) make all applicable distributions or payments provided for under this Plan; (iii) employ professionals to represent it with respect to its responsibilities; and (iv) exercise such other powers (A) as may be vested in the Disbursing Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court (including any Final Order issued after the Effective Date) or pursuant to this Plan or (B) as deemed by the Disbursing Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions of this Plan.

 

(b)           Expenses Incurred on or After the Effective Date.  Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court and subject to the written agreement of the Reorganized Debtors, the amount of any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent on or after the Effective Date (including, without limitation, taxes) and any reasonable compensation and expense reimbursement Claims (including, without limitation, for reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees and expenses) made by the Disbursing Agent shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors.

 

7.15      Withholding and Reporting Requirements.

 

In connection with this Plan and all instruments issued in connection therewith and distributed thereon, the Reorganized Debtors and any other distributing party shall comply with all applicable withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state or local taxing authority, and all Plan Distributions under this Plan shall be subject to any such withholding or reporting requirements.  In the case of a non-Cash Plan Distribution that is subject to withholding, the distributing party may request a holder of an Allowed Claim to complete and return a Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable to each such holder.  If such Form is requested and not submitted to the distributing party within ten (10) days of the request, the distributing party may, in its discretion, either (i) withhold an appropriate portion of such distributed property and sell such withheld property to generate Cash necessary to pay over the withholding tax, or (ii) require the intended recipient of such distribution to provide the withholding agent with an amount of Cash sufficient to satisfy such withholding tax as a condition to receiving such distribution.  If such Form is requested and submitted to the distributing party within 10 days of the request, the distributing party may withhold an appropriate portion of such distributed property and sell such withheld property to generate Cash necessary to pay over the withholding tax; provided that, the distributing party shall first notify the intended recipient of such contemplated sale and offer the intended recipient the opportunity to provide sufficient Cash to satisfy such withholding tax in lieu of such sale.  The distributing party shall have the right, but not the obligation, not to make a Plan Distribution until its withholding obligation is satisfied pursuant to the preceding sentences.  If an intended recipient of a non-Cash Plan Distribution is required to provide or has agreed to provide the withholding

 

28



 

agent with the Cash necessary to satisfy the withholding tax pursuant to this section and such person fails to comply before the date that is one year after the request is made, the amount of such Plan Distribution shall irrevocably revert to the applicable Reorganized Debtor and any Claim in respect of such Plan Distribution shall be discharged and forever barred from assertion against such Reorganized Debtor or its respective property.  Any amounts withheld pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been distributed to and received by the applicable recipient for all purposes of this Plan.  The distributing party may require a holder of an Allowed Claim to complete and return a Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable to each such holder.

 

Notwithstanding the above, each holder of an Allowed Claim or Existing Equity Interest that is to receive a Plan Distribution under this Plan shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed on such holder by any governmental unit, including income, withholding, and other tax obligations, on account of such Plan Distribution.

 

ARTICLE VIII.                                                       PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CLAIMS.

 

8.1        Disputed Claims Process.

 

The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or as described in Section 6.5 of the Plan, the Litigation Trust Trustee, shall be entitled to file objections to all Claims that are otherwise not Allowed Claims under the Plan or otherwise.  Any objections to Claims shall be served and filed on or before the later of (i) one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Date or (ii) such later date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court.

 

8.2        Estimation of Claims.

 

The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Contingent Claim or Disputed Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, regardless of whether an objection was previously filed with the Bankruptcy Court with respect to such Claim, or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim, including, without limitation, during the pendency of any appeal relating to such objection.  In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any Contingent Claim or Disputed Claim, the amount so estimated shall constitute either the Allowed amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on such Claim, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court.  If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on the amount of such Claim, the Reorganized Debtors may pursue supplementary proceedings to object to the allowance of such Claim.  The aforementioned objection, estimation, and resolution procedures are intended to be cumulative and rather than procedures that are exclusive of the others.

 

8.3        Claim Resolution Procedures Cumulative.

 

All of the objection, estimation, and resolution procedures in this Plan are intended to be cumulative and not exclusive of one another.  Claims may be estimated and subsequently settled, compromised, withdrawn, or resolved in accordance with this Plan by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

8.4        No Distributions Pending Allowance.

 

If an objection, motion to estimate, or other challenge to a Claim is filed, no payment or distribution provided under this Plan shall be made on account of such Claim unless and until (and only to the extent that) such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

 

8.5        Distributions after Allowance.

 

To the extent that a Disputed Claim ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim, distributions (if any) shall be made to the holder of such Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Plan.  As soon as practicable after the date on which the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing any Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order, the Disbursing Agent shall provide to the holder of such Claim the distribution (if any) to which such holder is entitled under this Plan as of the Effective Date, without any interest to be paid on account of such Claim unless required by the Bankruptcy Code.

 

ARTICLE IX.                                                                EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES.

 

9.1        General Treatment.

 

As of and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date and the payment of any applicable Cure Amount, all executory contracts and unexpired leases shall be deemed assumed, unless such contract or lease (i) was previously assumed or rejected by the Debtors, pursuant to Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms or by agreement of the parties thereto, (iii) is the subject of a motion to reject filed by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors on or before seventy-five (75) days after the Effective Date, or (iv) is specifically designated as a contract or lease to be rejected on the Schedule of Rejected Contracts.  As set forth in section 5.3 herein, the MPT Leases will be assumed on the Effective Date.  Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of the assumptions or rejections provided for in this Plan pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Each executory contract and unexpired lease assumed pursuant to this Plan shall vest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as modified by the provisions of this Plan, any Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption, or applicable law.

 

9.2        Determination of Cure Disputes and Deemed Consent.

 

Any monetary amounts by which any executory contract or unexpired lease to be assumed hereunder is in default shall be satisfied, under section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, upon assumption thereof.  Following the Petition Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors shall have served a notice on parties to executory contracts and unexpired leases to be assumed reflecting the Debtors’ intention to assume the contract or lease in connection with this Plan and setting forth the proposed Cure Amount (if any).  If a counterparty to any executory contract or unexpired lease that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable intend to assume does not receive such a notice, the proposed Cure Amount for such executory contract or unexpired lease shall be deemed to be zero dollars ($0).

 

30



 

If there is a dispute regarding (a) any Cure Amount, (b) the ability of the Debtors to provide adequate assurance of future performance (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed, or (c) any other matter pertaining to assumption, such dispute shall be heard by the Bankruptcy Court prior to such assumption being effective.  The Debtors reserve the right to reject any executory contract or unexpired lease not later than thirty (30) days after the entry of a Final Order resolving any such dispute.  Any counterparty to an executory contract or unexpired lease that fails to object timely to the notice of the proposed assumption and assignment of such executory contract or unexpired lease or the relevant Cure Amount within fourteen (14) days of the filing thereof, shall be deemed to have assented to such assumption and/or Cure Amount and shall be forever barred, estopped, and enjoined from challenging the validity of such assumption or the amount of such Cure Amount thereafter.

 

9.3        Rejection Damages Claims.

 

Any counterparty to a contract or lease that is identified on the Schedule of Rejected Contracts or is otherwise rejected by the Debtors must file and serve a proof of Claim on the applicable Debtor that is party to the contract or lease to be rejected no later than thirty (30) days after the later of (i) the Confirmation Date or (ii) the effective date of rejection of such executory contract or unexpired lease.

 

9.4        Insurance Policies.

 

All insurance policies to which any Debtor is a party as of the Effective Date shall be deemed to be and treated as executory contracts and shall be assumed by the applicable Debtors or Reorganized Debtors and shall continue in full force and effect thereafter in accordance with their respective terms.  All other insurance policies shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors.

 

9.5        Reservation of Rights.

 

(a)           Neither the exclusion nor the inclusion by the Debtors of any contract or lease on any exhibit, schedule, or other annex to this Plan or in the Plan Supplement, nor anything contained in this Plan, will constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is or is not an executory contract or unexpired lease or that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors or their respective affiliates has any liability thereunder.

 

(b)           Except as explicitly provided in this Plan, nothing herein shall waive, excuse, limit, diminish, or otherwise alter any of the defenses, claims, Causes of Action, or other rights of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors under any executory or non-executory contract or unexpired or expired lease.

 

(c)           Nothing in this Plan will increase, augment, or add to any of the duties, obligations, responsibilities, or liabilities of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, under any executory or non-executory contract or unexpired or expired lease.

 

(d)           If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of its assumption under this Plan, the Debtors or Reorganized

 

31



 

Debtors, as applicable, shall have thirty (30) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.

13.4      Revocation or Withdrawal of Plan.

 

The Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw this Plan prior to the Effective Date as to any or all of the Debtors.  If, with respect to a Debtor, this Plan has been revoked or withdrawn prior to the Effective Date, or if confirmation or the occurrence of the Effective Date as to such Debtor does not occur on the Effective Date, then, with respect to such Debtor:  (a) this Plan shall be null and void in all respects; (b) any settlement or compromise embodied in this Plan (including the fixing or limiting to an amount any Claim or Interest or Class of Claims or Interests), assumption or rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases affected by this Plan, and any document or agreement executed pursuant to this Plan shall be deemed null and void; and (c) nothing contained in this Plan shall (i) constitute a waiver or release of any Claim by or against, or any Interest in, such Debtor or any other Person; (ii) prejudice in any manner the rights of such Debtor or any other Person; or (iii) constitute an admission of any sort by any Debtor or any other Person.

13.6      Governing Law.

 

Except to the extent that the Bankruptcy Code or other federal law is applicable or to the extent that a Plan Document provides otherwise, the rights, duties, and obligations arising under this Plan and the Plan Documents shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

13.9      Entire Agreement.

 

On the Effective Date, this Plan, the Plan Supplement, and the Confirmation Order shall supersede all previous and contemporaneous negotiations, promises, covenants, agreements, understandings, and representations on such subjects, all of which have become merged and integrated into this Plan.
