Item 8.01. Other Events

 

As of December 13, 2004, all conditions to effectiveness of the Consolidated Plan of Liquidation Dated July 1, 2004 (as amended, the “Plan”) filed by Consolidated Freightways Corporation of Delaware and its affiliated debtors (the “Debtors”) in their Chapter 11 cases pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, Riverside Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”) have been satisfied or waived, and therefore, the effective date of the Plan is December 13, 2004. A copy of the Plan as confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on November 22, 2004 is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1. A copy of the order entered by the Bankruptcy Court confirming the Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. A copy of the notice of confirmation and effective date is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.

 

Pursuant to the Plan, all of the shares of capital stock of the Consolidated Freightways Corporation and the Debtors have been canceled. Also pursuant to the Plan, The Trust for Certain Creditors of Consolidated Freightways Corporation and Certain Affiliates (the “Trust”) was created as of December 13, 2004 pursuant to a Liquidation Trust Agreement entered into as of December 8, 2004 by and among the Debtors, the Official Committee of Creditors Holding Unsecured Claims, the Oversight Committee (as defined therein), K. Morgan Enterprises (the “Trustee”) and Kerry K. Morgan. The Trust is not operating a continuing trade or business but rather was formed solely to liquidate the remaining non-cash assets of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan and to make the distributions to creditors required by the Plan. Under the Plan, creditors who hold allowed pre-bankruptcy general unsecured claims will receive beneficial interests in the Trust.

1    INTRODUCTION
2   

Consolidated Freightways Corporation of Delaware (defined herein as “CFCD”),

3    together with its affiliated debtors, Consolidated Freightways Corporation (defined herein as
4    “CFC”), Redwood Systems, Inc., Leland James Service Corporation, CF Airfreight Corporation
5    and CF MovesU.com Incorporated (collectively with CFCD, the “Debtors,” and each a
6    “Debtor”) hereby propose the following Consolidated Plan of Liquidation for the resolution of
7    the outstanding Creditor Claims against and equity Interests in the Debtors. The Debtors are the
8    proponents of the Plan within the meaning of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. All
9    capitalized terms not defined in this Introduction have the meanings given to them in
10    section 1.2.1 Reference is made to the Disclosure Statement for a discussion of the Debtor’s
11    history, business, properties and results of operations, and for a summary of the Plan and certain

25    payments totaling at least the Allowed amount of such Claim, of a value, as of the Effective
26    Date, of at least the value of such Holder’s interest in the Debtors’ interest in the Collateral for
27    such Claim; (c) sale of the Collateral for such Claim, subject to section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy
28    Code, with the Liens securing such Claim to attach to the net proceeds of such sale; (d) the

24    the Ballot Deadline, a statement of the nature and amount of the GE Capital Claims, and the

27    contingent as to liability or amount.

Pursuant to the Final DIP Order, GE Capital was required to repay to the Debtors

2    any “Letter of Credit Improvement Amount” as defined in such Order. The Debtors and GE
3    Capital acknowledge that there is no Letter of Credit Improvement Amount within the meaning

Class 1D consists of the Claims asserted by state and local taxing

18    authorities for taxes, to the extent such Claims are secured by Liens on real property owned by

23    Allowed amount of such Secured Claim at the closing of the sale by the Debtor or the Trust of
24    the real property Collateral for such Secured Claim, or at any time prior thereto in the discretion
25    of the Trustee. Therefore, the taxing authorities are unimpaired with respect to such Secured

10    other obligations which are to be paid by the Trust, including, without limitation, payments to
11    Holders of Claims with priority to Allowed Class 4 Claims and Trust Expenses, provided that no
12    Distribution shall be made with respect to a Disputed Class 4 Claim which, if Allowed, would be
13    an Allowed Class 4 Claim, until such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, and no Distribution
14    shall be made with respect to an Allowed Class 4 Claim until either (i) the deadline to object to

20    Claim becomes an Allowed Class 4 Claim or the deadline to object to such Claim expires or a
21    notice of non-objection is given, provided, however, that such Claim shall be extinguished if
22    such Unsecured Claim is Disallowed. Distributions by the Trust on account of Industrial

4.7    Class 7 (LLC Entity Claims).

Class 7 consists of LLC Entity Claims. The LLC Entities, as the Holders of LLC

10

   Entity Claims, will not receive any distribution of Cash or other property under the Plan on

11

   account of the LLC Entity Claims. As a result, Claims in Class 7 are impaired and the Holders

12

   of such Claims are deemed to have rejected the Plan. The Debtors reserve the right, pursuant to

13

   the Plan, to contribute the LLC Entity Claims to the capital of any other Debtor, to dividend any

14

   such Claim upstream to a Debtor which is the direct or indirect parent corporation of the LLC

18

   as the Holders of the Non-Debtor Affiliate Claims, will not receive any distribution of Cash or

19

   other property under the Plan on account of the Non-Debtor Affiliate Claims. As a result,

20

21

   Plan. The Debtors reserve the right, pursuant to the Plan, to contribute the Non-Debtor Affiliate

22

   Claims to the capital of any other Debtor, to dividend any such Claim upstream to a Debtor

23

   which is the direct or indirect parent corporation of the Debtor which holds such Claim, or to

24

   deem any such Claims to be canceled. No proofs of Claim were Filed in the Cases on behalf of

25

   any of the Non-Debtor Affiliates; however the Debtors scheduled certain of the Non-Debtor

26

   Affiliates as holding Unsecured Claims.

LOGO   29     


1   

Class 9 consists of the Claims held by CF Bermuda against CFCD under

2    approximately $79.1 million of debentures issued by CFCD to CF Bermuda. If the Commutation
3    Agreement is entered into by the parties thereto, CF Bermuda will agree to release all of its
4    Claims against CFCD, in exchange for commutation of the workers’ compensation insurance
5    liability assumed by CF Bermuda. In that case, CF Bermuda will not receive any distribution of
6    Cash or other property under the Plan on account of its Claims. Because CF Bermuda will have
7    consented to this treatment in the Commutation Agreement, it would be deemed to be
8    unimpaired and to have accepted the Plan.
9   

If the Commutation Agreement is not entered into, the Debtors will assert a setoff

10    of the workers’ compensation insurance liability assumed by CF Bermuda against the Claims
11    held by CF Bermuda under the debentures. Since these obligations are in equal and offsetting
12    amounts, CF Bermuda would have no Allowed Claims against the Debtors, and would not be
13    entitled to any distributions of Cash or property pursuant to the Plan.
14   

Therefore, CF Bermuda shall either be deemed to be unimpaired under the Plan or

15    is conclusively deemed to have rejected the Plan. In either case, CF Bermuda shall not receive
16    any distribution of Cash or other property under the Plan and is not entitled to vote to accept or
17    reject the Plan.

Class 10 consists of Inter-Debtor Claims. The Debtors, as the Holders of the

20    Inter-Debtor Entity Claims, will not receive any distribution of Cash or other property under the
21    Plan on account of the Inter-Debtor Claims. As a result, Claims in Class 10 are impaired and the
22    Holders of such Claims are deemed to have rejected the Plan. The Debtors reserve the right,
23    pursuant to the Plan, to contribute the Inter-Debtor Claims to the capital of any other Debtor, to
24    dividend any such Claim upstream to a Debtor which is the direct or indirect parent corporation
25    of the Debtor which holds such Claim, or to deem any such Claims to be canceled.

Pursuant to the Consolidation Order, all of the Debtors’ chapter 11 estates have

9    Claims against multiple Debtors, which Claims are based upon or relate to the same or similar
10    indebtedness or obligations, whether by reason of guarantee, indemnity agreement, joint and
11    several obligation or otherwise, shall be deemed to have only one Claim against the Consolidated
12    Estate in an amount equal to the largest of all such similar Allowed Claims for purposes of
13    Distributions under the Plan. For purposes of voting on the Plan, any Creditor holding such
14    similar Claims against multiple Debtors may only vote the largest of all such similar Allowed
15    Claims.

8    shall provide notice of any such amendment of such exhibit to the non-Debtor parties to the
9    executory contract or lease affected thereby and to the Committee, not later than ten (10) days
10    prior to the Ballot Deadline. The Disclosure Statement or such exhibit shall specify any

5    pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 365(b)(1) other than those specified by the Debtors
6    pursuant to section 5.1, or has any objection with respect to any proposed assumption, cure or

At such time as the Trustee deems appropriate, the Trustee may cause the

   by or on behalf of the Debtors, any Non-Debtor Affiliates or CF Bermuda, or payment of any

8

   fees, charges, penalties or other amounts required by applicable non-bankruptcy law.

10

   filing or recording of any documents and the making of any applicable tax filings, and the

   dissolution or equivalent document, and provided, further, that the Trustee shall, to the maximum

17

   extent practicable, cause each Non-Debtor Affiliate or CF Bermuda to pay any fees, charges or

18

   other amounts incurred in connection with its dissolution. The Trustee may take all actions on

19

   behalf of any Debtor and Non-Debtor Affiliate to effectuate the dissolution of such Debtor or

23

  

The Debtors shall perform their obligations pursuant to the settlement between the

24

   Debtors and ACC (the “ACC Settlement”), which was approved by the Court at a hearing held

25

   on June 18, 2004.. Pursuant to the ACC Settlement, ACC paid the Debtors $3,975,000 (the

26

   “ACC Settlement Amount”). The ACC Settlement Amount shall be used first to satisfy any

27

   Claim against any of the Debtors resulting from the loss of or damage to cargo that was (i)

28

   transported by such Debtor under its common carrier certificate, (ii) subject to the tariffs

 

LOGO   41     


1

   maintained by such Debtor and (iii) not subject to a written, bi-lateral contract between the

2

   Claimant and such Debtor (“Non-Contract Claims”), up to the maximum that ACC was liable to

3

   the Claimant under the terms of the ACC Surety Bonds. The balance of the ACC Settlement

4

   Amount will be retained by the Debtors and the Trust, and may be applied by the Debtors or the

5

   Trust to reimburse the Debtors and the Trust for the costs of administering the Non-Contract

6

   Claims and indemnifying ACC to the extent required by the ACC Settlement. In exchange for

7

   the ACC Settlement Amount, ACC will be entitled to Allowed Class 4 Claims in the amounts of

8

   $3,975,000 and $220,400 and an allowed Administrative Claim of $30,000.

9

  

To the extent any Non-Contract Claim is paid pursuant to the ACC Settlement,

10

   the amount of such payment will reduce the Allowed Amount of such Claim against the Debtors.

11

13

   against the Debtors have become Allowed Claims or have been Disallowed by Final Order, all

18

   Court to close the Cases in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules.

In case of the resignation, termination, death or inability to act of the Trustee, a

7.10    Limitations on Payments to Certain Professionals.

2

  

Other than as set forth in the next sentence, the Trustee may not, without the prior

3

   approval of the Court, directly or indirectly compensate any broker, consultant or other

4

   professional in an amount in excess of $25,000 in connection with the sale by the Trust of any

5

   single parcel of real property for which the aggregate sale price is, or is reasonably expected by

6

   the Trustee to be, more than $3,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Trustee

7

   may, without any specific approval of the Court, employ and compensate a broker, consultant or

8

   other professional who is directly retained by the Trustee or the Oversight Committee, unless

9

   such broker, consultant or other professional is retained or compensated or is required to be

10

   retained or compensated as a condition to any purchase offer.

11

  

If Court approval of any payment to a broker, consultant or other professional is

12

   required pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Trust shall be permitted to compensate any

13

   such broker, consultant or other professional only if the Court finds that the compensation is

14

   reasonable and that the services of such broker, consultant or other professional were bona fide,

15

   reasonably required to consummate the transaction and benefited the Trust. In making the

16

   determination as to reasonable compensation, the Court shall consider the amount of

17

   compensation requested for any such broker, consultant or other professional and the amount of

18

   time reasonably spent by such broker, consultant or other professional and appropriately

19

   documented, in providing assistance with respect to the transaction, and shall not approve

20

   compensation that results in an unreasonably hourly rate for such services.

21

  

Should an offer or proposal for the purchase of any such property be received by

22

   the Trust which contains a provision requiring the Trust to directly or indirectly compensate a

23

   broker, consultant or other professional, which offer or proposal is then followed by a subsequent

24

   offer at a lower price without the same compensation requirement, then there shall be a

25

   presumption that the reduced amount is being used by the offeror to compensate such

26

   professional; in such instance or if the Trustee reasonably believes that the offeror has taken any

27

   other action with the purpose of evading the intent of the preceding two paragraphs, Court

28

    

 

LOGO   49     


1

   approval of the reduction shall be required consistent with the provisions of the preceding

2

   paragraphs.

7.11    Trust Books And Records.

4

  

The Trustee, and to the extent of payments and Distributions by the Disbursing

5

   Agent, the Disbursing Agent, shall maintain an accounting of receipts and disbursements of the

   Trust. All of the Debtors’ books and records held by the Debtors as of the Effective Date, and

7

   which are relevant to the activities of the Trust, shall be delivered to the Trust for use by the

8

   Trustee in performing its duties under the Plan. The Trust shall hold such books and records, or

9

   provide storage for such book and records, for the longer of six (6) years, or while the Trust is

10

   in existence, provided that the Court may, upon application by the Trustee, authorize the Trust to

11

   destroy all of the Debtors’ books and records at such time as the Trust has no further need for

12

   such books and records. The Trust books and records shall be open to inspection by the

13

   representatives of the Oversight Committee at all reasonable times. In the event the Trustee

14

   discovers any documents or records with respect to the Defined Benefit Pension Plan which the

15

   Trustee believes the Debtors have not previously sent the originals, or copies thereof, to the

16

   PBGC, the Trustee shall, promptly notify the PBGC of the discovery of such documents or

17

   records, and arrange for the transmittal of such documents or records to the PBGC, or at the

18

   option of the PBGC, their duplication and transmittal of the duplicates to the PBGC. The

19

   Trustee shall provide notice to the PBGC before the destruction of any documents or records

20

   related to the Defined Benefit Pension Plan, and shall not destroy any such documents without

21

   the consent of the PBGC, unless the Trustee tenders possession of such documents or records in

22

   writing to the PBGC, and the PBGC does not accept such tender of possession within

23

   twenty (20) days after the tender is made.

24

  

7.12    Limitations on Liability.

25

  

The Trustee shall not be liable for any act he or she may do or fail to do as

26

   Trustee hereunder while acting in good faith and in the exercise of his or her best judgment, and

27

   the fact that such act or omission was approved by the Oversight Committee or advised or

28

   approved by counsel acting for the Trust, shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith and

 

LOGO   50     


1

   best judgment. The Trustee shall not be liable in any event for any claims, liabilities or damages

2

   based upon or arising out of any conduct of the Trustee in the course of his or her activities as

3

   trustee, unless such claims, liabilities or damages arise from his or her personal gross negligence

4

   or willful misconduct.

5

  

The Trustee, the Oversight Committee, and the members of the Oversight

6

   Committee shall not be liable for any indebtedness, liability or obligation incurred or entered into

7

   on behalf of the Trust, including, without limitation, indebtedness, liabilities or obligations under

8

   agreements, undertakings or commitments entered into executed on behalf of the Trust by the

9

   Trustee or by any person employed by the Trustee or the Trust, it being expressly understood

10

   that all such indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of, and claims against the Trust, shall be the

11

   sole responsibility of the Trust and shall be satisfied only from the Trust Property, or such

12

   portion thereof as shall, under the terms of any agreement, be stated to be liable therefor. No

13

   claim or cause of action may be asserted against the Trustee, the Oversight Committee, or any

14

   member of the Oversight Committee on account of any indebtedness, liability or obligation

15

   entered into on behalf of the Trust, whether by legal or equitable proceedings, or by virtue of any

16

   bankruptcy or non-bankruptcy statute, rule or regulation.

17

  

Any undertaking, contract or agreement entered into in writing by the Trust may,

18

   except as otherwise provided by the Plan or the Trust Agreement, expressly disclaim the

19

   personal liability of the Trustee and the members of the Oversight Committee.

20

  

7.13    No Credit Reporting.

21

  

The Trustee shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Person with any

22

   credit or other information with respect to the Trust except as provided in the Plan or the Trust

23

   Agreement.

24

  

7.14    United States Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Holders of Trust

25

  

            Beneficial Interests.

26

  

For all United States federal income tax purposes, the transfers by the Debtors to

27

   the Trust described in sections 6.1 and 7.1 shall be treated by the Debtors, the Trust and the Trust

28

   Beneficiaries as a transfer of the Trust Property by the Debtors to the Trust Beneficiaries and the

 

LOGO   51     


1

   Reserve for Disputed Claims, followed by a transfer of the Trust Property by such Trust

2

   Beneficiaries and the Reserve for Disputed Claims to the Trust. The Trust Beneficiaries and the

3

   Reserve for Disputed Claims shall be treated as the grantors and deemed owners of the Trust for

4

   United States federal income tax purposes. The Trustee and the Trust Beneficiaries are required

5

   to value their interests in the Trust Property consistently with the values placed upon the Trust

6

   Property by the Trust, and to use such valuations for all purposes. The Trust Agreement shall

7

   provide for consistent valuations of the Trust Property by the Trustee and the Trust Beneficiaries,

8

   and shall provide that the Trust will determine the fair market value of the Trust Property within

9

   thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, and send such determination to each Trust Beneficiary.

10

   By its acceptance of a Trust Beneficial Interest, each recipient of such an interest will be

11

   conclusively deemed to agree to use such valuations for all purposes, including, without

12

   limitation, in computing any gain recognized upon the exchange of such Holder’s Claim for

13

   purposes of determining any United States Federal income tax, and shall be required to include

14

   those items of income, deductions and tax credits that are attributable to its Trust Beneficial

15

   Interest in computing its taxable income.

16

  

7.15    Termination of the Trust.

17

  

The Trust shall continue in effect until the earlier of: (a) the date that all Trust

18

   Property has been liquidated, all proceeds have been converted to Cash or distributed in kind, all

19

   Trust Expenses have been paid, all Claims to be paid under the Plan have been paid, all

20

   Distributions to be made with respect to the Trust Beneficial Interests have been made, all

21

   litigation to which the Trust is a party has been concluded by an order issued by the court in

22

   which such litigation is pending and such order has become “final” (consistent with the

23

   definition of Final Order in this Plan for Orders issued by the Court), and the Cases have been

24

   closed in accordance with section 6.12, and (b) the expiration of five (5) years from the Effective

25

   Date, provided, that the Trustee may request the Court to extend the permitted life of the Trust

26

   for such additional period as is reasonably necessary to conclude the liquidation and

27

   distributions, not to exceed a total of ten (10) years from the Effective Date, which request shall

28

   be Filed so the Court may consider and rule on the request within six (6) months prior to the

   expiration of the initial five-year term.

   constitute a representative of Holders of Class 4 Claims, formed for the purpose, inter alia, of

8

   monitoring the implementation of the Plan, supervising the activities of the Trust, and the

11

  

8.2    Oversight Committee Procedures.

12

  

The Oversight Committee shall prescribe its own rules of procedure and bylaws,

26

   to assist in the Oversight Committee’s duties under the Plan, including the oversight of the Trust

27

   and the Trustee regarding liquidation of the assets in the Trust and distributions to Holders of

28

   Allowed Claims. The Oversight Committee is authorized to employ such professionals without

 

LOGO   53     


1

   approval by the Court; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Oversight Committee

2

   must disclose to the Court, in advance, with notice to the Office of the United States Trustee,

3

   Crown Enterprises, Inc., Atlas Oil Holdings, Co., the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, the

4

   Debtors and any other person that specifically requests notice of post-Effective Date matters

5

   brought before the Court, the identity of any insider (as such term is defined in section 101(31)

6

   of the Bankruptcy Code) of the Trustee or any member of the Oversight Committee that the

7

   Oversight Committee intends to employ at the expense of the Trust. Under the Trust Agreement,

8

   the Trustee shall have authority to dispute the proposed employment of any professional by the

9

   Oversight Committee, the rendering of particular services or the payment of any items of

10

   compensation or expense reimbursement for such professionals, only in the event the Trustee

11

   asserts that such employment or payment constitutes a significant waste of Trust Property. In the

12

   event of such a dispute, the Court shall have jurisdiction to resolve such dispute.

13

  

8.5    Limitations on Oversight Committee Liability.

14

  

The Oversight Committee and its members shall not be liable for any act any

15

   member may do or fail to do as a member of the Oversight Committee while acting in good faith

16

   and in the exercise of the member’s best judgment, and the fact that such act or omission was

   advised, directed or approved by counsel acting for the Oversight Committee, shall be conclusive

18

   evidence of such good faith and best judgment. No Oversight Committee member shall be liable

19

   in any event for claims, liabilities or damages unless they arise from such member’s personal

20

   gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The Trust shall make all payments and distributions required to be made under the

5    Plan. All payments and distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims under the Plan, including
6    Distributions to the holders of Trust Beneficial Interests, may be made by the Trustee, or by the
7    Disbursing Agent, if a Disbursing Agent has been appointed under the Plan.

The Trust shall first make payments to, or create reserves reasonably determined

13    Claims, (iv) Priority Non-Tax Claims, (v) Priority Tax Claims (to the extent of Cash payments

15    and expenses have been paid in full or adequate reserves have been established to satisfy such
16    Claims and expenses. Once such Holders are paid in full or such reserves are created, payments
17    shall be made on a Pro Rata basis to Holders of Allowed Class 3 Claims until such Allowed
18    Claims are paid in full. Thereafter, funds remaining in the Trust shall be paid on a Pro Rata basis
19    to Holders of Allowed Class 4 Unsecured Claims.
20   

In the event that Holders of Allowed Class 4 Unsecured Claims are, at any time,

21    paid in full or reserves are created for the payment in full of Claims in such Class, payments

In the event that, at any time, there is insufficient Cash to make payment in full to

   any group of unclassified Claims of equal priority under the Plan or to any Class of Claims, then

3

   all payments made to such group of unclassified Claims or to such Class of Claims, or the

4

   reserves created for Holders of such Disputed Claims in such group of unclassified Claims or

5

   such Class, shall be made or created Pro Rata until all Claims in such group or Class are paid

6

   in full.

9.3    Distributions.

8

  

On the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable, the Trust

9

   shall distribute to the Holders of Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims,

   Allowed Professional Claims, and Allowed Claims in Classes 1, 2, and 3, Cash equal to the

11

   payments and distributions which such Holders and the Holders of Claims in such Classes are

12

   entitled to receive as of the Effective Date, as set forth in the Plan, or deliver Collateral to the

13

   Holders of Allowed Secured Claims in Class 1 pursuant to the Plan or provide to the Holders of

14

   Allowed Secured Claims such other treatment as set forth in the Plan which is due as of the

15

   Effective Date. From time to time after the Effective Date, as soon as practicable after Claims

16

   become Allowed Class 4 Claims pursuant to a Final Order or the deadline to object to any such

17

   Claims expires without an objection being asserted, the Trust shall record in the books of the

18

   Trust in favor of the Holders of such Class 4 Claims the Trust Beneficial Interests to which they

19

   are entitled.

24

  

          Distributions to Class 4.

25

  

Subject to the Trust having sufficient available Cash as required by section 9.6, as

26

   soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Trust shall make the initial Distribution to the

27

   Holders of Allowed Class 4 Claims, provided, that no Distribution shall be made or required to

28

   be made at any time to Holders of Allowed Class 4 Claims with respect to which the deadline for

 

LOGO   56     


1

   an objection to such Claims has not expired unless the Debtors and the Committee or the

2

   Oversight Committee, as applicable, have Filed a notice of non-objection as provided in clause

3

   (iv) of the definition of the term “Allowed” with respect to such Claims. Subject to the Trust

4

   having sufficient available Cash as required by section 9.6, the Trust shall be required to make a

5

   Distribution to Holders of Trust Beneficial Interests on account of each calendar quarter during

6

   the term of the Trust other than the calendar quarter in which the initial Distribution is made. In

7

   the event the Trust has not made a Distribution with respect to any of the first three calendar

8

   quarters in any calendar year, the Trust shall be required to make a Distribution to Holders of

9

   Trust Beneficial Interests as of the end of such calendar year, whether or not the minimum Cash

10

   is available, as provided in section 9.6. All Distributions to Holders of Trust Beneficial Interests

11

   shall be made effective as of the last Business Day of the calendar quarter or calendar year with

12

   respect to which each Distribution is made, or such other date as the Trustee determines to make

13

   a Distribution (the “Record Date”), to holders of Trust Beneficial Interests that held Allowed

14

   Class 4 Claims on the Effective Date and that have become holders of Trust Beneficial Interests

15

   as of the date which is twenty (20) days before the Record Date. The Trust shall not be required

17

   occurred by November 1, 2004.

18

  

9.6    Minimum Distribution Amount for Class 4.

19

  

The Trust shall not be obligated to make a Distribution to holders of Trust

20

   Beneficial Interests (other than a required annual Distribution as set forth in section 9.5 or the

21

   final Distribution as set forth in section 9.16, below) unless the Trust holds an amount equal to

22

   one million dollars ($1,000,000) or more for such Distribution. At any time that the Trust holds

23

   an amount less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) for Distribution to holders of Trust

24

   Beneficial Interests, the Trust shall hold such funds and shall make a Distribution to holders of

25

   Trust Beneficial Interests at such future time, in accordance with section 9.5, as the Trust has

26

   received additional Cash such that it holds funds for such Distribution in the minimum amount

27

   under this section, or at such time as the Trust makes a required annual Distribution or the

28

   final Distribution to such holders. In the case of a required annual Distribution, the Trust shall

 

LOGO   57     


1    distribute all Cash held by it in excess of funds in the Reserve for Disputed Claims, plus amounts
2    reasonably estimated by the Trustee as necessary to maintain the value of remaining Trust
3    Property, and to pay additional costs and expenses of operation of the Trust and contingent
4    liabilities of the Trust.
5   

9.7    Payments and Distributions to Holders of Disputed Claims Which

6   

          Become Allowed Claims.

7   

Following the Effective Date, as soon as reasonably practicable after

8    (i) a Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, (ii) the deadline to object to a previously-
9    Allowed Claim expires and no objection has been asserted, or (iii) a notice of non-objection is
10    Filed with respect to an Allowed Claim as provided in clause (iv) of the definition of the term
11    “Allowed,” the Holder of such Allowed Claim shall be entitled to receive such payments and
12    distributions which the Holder of such an Allowed Claim would have received if its Claim were
13    an Allowed Claim as of the Effective Date. The Holder of a Disputed Class 4 Claim which
14    becomes an Allowed Class 4 Claim shall receive its Pro Rata share of any Distributions which
15    have been made on account of Class 4 Claims prior to the date such Disputed Claim becomes an
16    Allowed Class 4 Claim, but only with respect to the portion of such Disputed Claim which has
17    become an Allowed Class 4 Claim.
18   

9.8    Reserve for Disputed Claims.

19   

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no payment or Distribution

20    shall be made to the Holder on account of any Disputed Claim until such Claim becomes an
21    Allowed Claim, and then only to the extent that it becomes an Allowed Claim. At any time that
22    a Distribution is made to any Class under the Plan that is required to be made Pro Rata to the
23    members of such Class, such Distribution shall be made to all of the Holders of Allowed Claims
24    in such Class, and the Pro Rata portion of such Distribution which would be distributed to the
25    Holders of Disputed Claims, in the event such Claims become Allowed Claims in the Face
26    Amount of such Claims, shall be withheld by the Trust and allocated to the Reserve for Disputed
27    Claims pending resolution of the Disputed Claims. The party making the Distribution shall be
28    required to allocate the appropriate funds to the Reserve for Disputed Claims, provided that the

 

LOGO   58     


1    Trustee (and Disbursing Agent) shall not be required to place Cash in a separate account or
2    otherwise segregate funds from the assets of the Trust for purposes of the Reserve for Disputed
3    Claims.
4   

To the extent that any Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim after a

5    Distribution has been made with respect to the Class of which such Disputed Claim is a member,
6    the Cash reserved for such Disputed Claim shall be distributed to the Holder of the Allowed
7    Claim in a manner and Pro Rata amount consistent with the treatment of Allowed Claims in that
8    Class. Any portion of a Distribution that was allocated to the Reserve for Disputed Claims on
9    account of a Disputed Claim, and that, upon the Allowance of all or a portion of such Claim, is
10    finally determined not to be payable to the Holder of such Claim, shall thereupon be available for
11    use by the Trust for any proper purpose, including to make future Distributions to the Holders of
12    Allowed Claims in the affected Class on a Pro Rata basis.
13   

9.9    Delivery of Payments and Distributions in General.

14   

Except as provided in section 9.14 below for Holders of undeliverable

15    Distributions, payments and Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be made: (a) at the
16    addresses set forth in the proofs of Claim Filed by such Holders; (b) at the addresses set forth in
17    any written notices of address change delivered to the Trust (or to the Debtors prior to the
18    Effective Date) after the date on which any related proof of Claim was Filed, but not later than
19    the Record Date for any payment of Distribution; or (c) at the address (i) reflected in the
20    Schedules of Assets and Liabilities relating to the applicable Allowed Claim if no proof of Claim
21    has been Filed and the Trust has not received a written notice of a change of address, or
22    (ii) reflected in a written notice of change of address from such Holder delivered to the Trust., if
23    such a notice was received by the Trust not later than the Record Date for any payment or
24    Distribution.
25   

9.10    Cash Payments.

26   

Cash payments to be made pursuant to the Plan shall be made in U.S. dollars, by

27    checks drawn on a domestic bank or by wire transfer from a domestic bank, at the option of the
28    Trustee.

 

LOGO   59     


    

9.11    No Interest on Claims.

2   

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or the Confirmation Order,

3    post-Petition Date interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims, and no Holder of a Claim
4    shall be entitled to interest which might otherwise have accrued from or after the Petition Date
5    on any Claim. Interest shall not accrue or be payable with respect to any Disputed Claim for the
6    period from the Petition Date to the date a Distribution is made with respect to such Disputed
7    Claim, if and when such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. No interest shall accrue or
8    be payable from the date a Distribution is made to Holders of Allowed Claims in the Class of
9    which the Holder of the Disputed Claim is a member, to the date the Disputed Claim becomes an
10    Allowed Claim and a Distribution is made on account of the previously-Disputed Claim based
11    upon prior Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims in such Class.
12   

9.12    Minimum Amounts of Distributions.

13   

Except as provided in section 9.16 for a final Distribution, no Distribution shall be

14    made in an amount of less than $100.00 on account of any Allowed Class 4 Claim. Amounts not
15    distributed to Holders of Allowed Class 4 Claims because of this section shall be held by the
16    Trust for payment to the Holders of such Allowed Claims in conjunction with subsequent
17    Distributions. The Trust shall keep a record of amounts not distributed to Holders of Allowed
18    Class 4 Claims because of this section, and such amounts shall be included in the next
19    subsequent Distribution to each such Holder, provided the minimum amount of Distribution is
20    satisfied for such subsequent Distribution to the Holder of such Claim.
21   

9.13    Surrender of Instruments.

22   

Each Holder of a promissory note, bond, or other Instrument evidencing a Claim

23    shall surrender such promissory note, bond, or instrument to the Trust prior to being entitled to
24    receive any Distribution, unless this requirement is waived by the Trust, provided, however, that
25    this section shall not apply to GE Capital. No Distribution of Cash or other property shall be
26    made to or on behalf of any such Holder unless and until such promissory note, bond, or
27    Instrument is received by the Trust, the unavailability of such promissory note, bond, or
28    Instrument is established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trust or such requirement is waived

 

LOGO   60     


1    by the Trust. The Trust may require any Holder which is unable to surrender or cause to be
2    surrendered any such promissory note, bond, or Instrument to deliver an affidavit of loss and
3    indemnity and/or furnish a bond in form and substance (including, without limitation, with
4    respect to amount) reasonably satisfactory to the Trust. Any Holder that fails within the later of
5    (i) one year after the Effective Date, and (ii) the date of Allowance of its Claim, (a) if possible, to
6    surrender or cause to be surrendered such promissory note, bond or Instrument, or (b) if
7    requested, to execute and deliver an affidavit of loss and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the
8    Trust, shall be deemed to have forfeited all rights, claims, and causes of action against the
9    Debtors and the Trust and shall not participate in any Distribution under this Plan.
10   

9.14    Undeliverable Payments and Distributions.

11   

If any payment or distribution to any Holder of an Allowed Claim is returned to

12    the Trust as undeliverable, no further payment or distribution shall be made to such Holder
13    unless and until the Trust is notified in writing of such Holder’s then current address.
14    Undeliverable payments and distributions shall remain in the possession of the Trust pursuant to
15    the Plan in trust for the benefit of Holders of Allowed Claims until such time as a payment or
16    distribution becomes deliverable or the deadline set forth in this section expires without the
17    Holders of such Claims providing valid addresses for delivery of payments or distributions to
18    them. The Trustee shall pay, or cause to be paid, out of funds held in the Trust, any tax imposed
19    by any federal, state or local taxing authority on the income generated by the funds held with
20    respect to such undeliverable payments. The Trustee shall also file, or cause to be filed, any tax
21    return related to such undeliverable payments.
22   

Any payment or distribution to a Holder of a Claim that is returned to the Trust as

23    undeliverable will be held in the Trust for at least 180 days and the Trust will not make any
24    future payment and distributions to such Holder unless such Holder provides the Trust with its
25    current address. Except with respect to payments made on account of Claims Allowed under the
26    WARN Settlement (as defined in the Disclosure Statement) (which will be handled in
27    accordance with the terms of that settlement), if at the end of the 180-day period the Holder has
28    not made a claim for such undelivered payment or distribution or provided the Trust with its

 

LOGO   61     


1    current address, the amount of such payment or distribution retained by the Trust shall be
2    deposited with the registry of the Court to be held subject to the rights of such Holder to receive
3    such payment or distribution, and the Holder of such Claim shall be forever barred from
4    asserting any such claim for an undeliverable payment or distribution against the Trust or its
5    property. Nothing contained in the Plan shall require the Trust to attempt to locate any Holder of
6    an Allowed Claim.
7   

9.15    No Duplicate Distributions.

8   

Holders of Claims against more than one Debtor, which Claims are based upon or

9    relate to the same or similar facts, circumstances, indebtedness or obligations, shall be entitled to
10    receive a single payment in connection with each set of Distributions made by the Trust on
11    account of all such multiple Claims, and such Distribution shall be based upon the largest
12    amount for which any of such multiple Claims is Allowed, notwithstanding the fact that such
13    Holders may have filed proofs of such Claims or asserted such Claims against more than one of
14    the Debtors.
15   

9.16    Final Distribution.

16   

As soon as practicable after all Trust Property has been converted to Cash, the

17    Trustee shall distribute all available Cash to the Holders of Allowed Claims entitled thereto in
18    accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Trust Agreement, provided, that no final
19    Distribution shall be made in an amount of less than $25.00 on account of any Allowed Class 4
20    Claim.
21   

9.17    Credit Against Distributions to the PBGC.

22   

The first five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) of payments owed to the

23    PBGC on account of its Allowed Class 4 Claim (in the amount of $120 million, pursuant to the
24    Consolidation Order), from any of the sources described in this section, shall be paid to the
25    Consolidated Estate if received by the PBGC prior to the Effective Date, and paid or credited to
26    the Trust if received by or payable to the PBGC after the Effective Date. In either case, such
27    funds will be available for general purposes of the Consolidated Estate and the Trust, including
28    subsequent distributions to Holders of Claims (including, Distributions to the PBGC to the extent

 

LOGO   62     


1

   payable on account of the PBGC’s Allowed Class 4 Claim). The $500,000 payment or credit in

2

   the aggregate would be taken from the first amounts payable to the PBGC from any of the

3

   following sources: (a) ”LLC Net Proceeds” as defined in the Consolidation Stipulation,

4

   (b) ”Canada Net Proceeds” as defined in the Consolidation Stipulation, and (c) Distributions

5

   owed to the PBGC from the Trust on account of the PBGC’s Allowed Class 4 Claim. Once the

6

   PBGC foregoes payments or Distributions from any of the identified sources in the aggregate

7

   amount of $500,000, then this section shall be satisfied and the PBGC shall thereafter be entitled

8

   to receive all additional payments or Distributions from all of such sources.

9

  

9.18    No Distributions to Holders of Claims in Classes 7 through 9 or

10

  

            Interests in Classes 10 through 15.

11

  

Holders of Allowed Claims in Classes 7, 8 and 9 and Allowed Interests in

12

   Classes 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 will not receive any payment or distributions of Cash or other

13

   property under the Plan on account of their Claims or Interests.

14

  

9.19    Compliance with Tax Requirements.

15

  

In connection with the Plan and the Distributions made in accordance with the

16

   Plan, to the extent applicable, the Trustee or Disbursing Agent shall comply with all tax

17

   withholding and reporting requirements imposed on the Trust or the Reserve for Disputed

18

   Claims by any governmental unit, and all Distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to

19

   such withholding and reporting requirements. The Trustee and Disbursing Agent shall be

20

   authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such

21

   withholding and reporting requirements and to pay any taxes imposed on the Trust, the Reserve

22

   for Disputed Claims or amounts held with respect to undeliverable payments.

23

  

9.20    Setoffs.

24

  

Nothing in the Plan shall impair the right of any Person, including the Debtors, to

25

   set off any obligation which it has against any mutual obligation of another party in accordance

26

   with applicable non-bankruptcy law or to assert a right of recoupment in accordance with

27

   otherwise applicable non-bankruptcy law. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Trust may, but

28

   shall not be required to, set off claims of any nature that the Debtor or the Trust may have against

 

LOGO   63     


1

   the Holder of any Allowed Claim, whether or not the Debtor’s or the Trust’s claim is released

2

   pursuant to the Plan, against any Allowed Claim of such Holder, and against the Distributions to

3

   be made by the Trust pursuant to the Plan on account of such Allowed Claim, provided,

4

   however, that neither the failure to effect such a setoff, nor the allowance of any Claim against

5

   the Debtor or Trust, shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtor or the Trust of any claim

6

   that the Debtor or the Trust may possess against such Holder. Any Creditor that receives a

7

   distribution(s) under this Plan and thereafter seeks to exercise a valid right of setoff or

8

   recoupment with respect to the unpaid portion of its Allowed Unsecured Claim shall, as a

9

   condition to the exercise of such right, return to the Trust an amount, if any, equal to the

10

   difference between the amount of the distribution(s) received by such Creditor under the Plan

11

   and the amount of the distribution(s) such Creditor would have received had the setoff or

12

   recoupment occurred as of the Effective Date. Thus, for example, if a Creditor has an Allowed

13

   Unsecured Claim in the amount of $1,000,000 and the distribution to Holders of Allowed Class 4

14

   Claims equals $.15 for every $1 of Allowed Unsecured Claim under the Plan, the Creditor would

15

   receive $150,000 in Distributions under the Plan. If the Trustee thereafter asserts an action

16

   against the Creditor seeking $800,000 in damages, assuming that (a) the Creditor could exercise

17

   the right of setoff with respect to this liability under applicable non-bankruptcy law and (b) the

18

   setoff had occurred as of the Effective Date (before any Distributions under the Plan had

19

   occurred), the Creditor’s Unsecured Claim would have been Allowed in the amount of $200,000

20

   ($1,000,000 less the $800,000 setoff), for which it would have received Distributions totaling

21

   $30,000 in the aggregate. Thus, in order for the Creditor to exercise its right of setoff in this

22

   instance, it would be required to pay to the Trust $120,000, which equals the difference between

23

   the $150,000 in actual Distributions that such Creditor received under the Plan and the $30,000

24

   in Distributions that it would have received under the Plan had the setoff been exercised on or

25

   before the Effective Date.

14

  

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor

    

does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of

15

  

executing the release, which if known by him must have materially

    

affected his Stipulation by the debtor.”

16

   similar statutes of other States or the United States, and common law principles of similar effect

17

   as section 1542.

18

  

The Debtors, being aware of section 1542 and similar laws and common law

19

   principles, hereby expressly waive any rights they may have thereunder, to the extent such

20

4

   limit the liability of any Person for breach of an express obligation it has under the terms of the

5

   Plan or under any agreement or other writing entered into by such Person either subsequent to the

6

22

   the formulation, negotiation, preparation, dissemination, Confirmation and consummation of the

23

10

   and not derivative of any claim or right of the Debtors which is being released pursuant to

23   

At a hearing (the “Confirmation Hearing”) held on October 20, 2004, at 2:00

24    p.m., in the Courtroom of the undersigned United States Bankruptcy Judge, this Court
25    considered (i) the Consolidated Plan of Liquidation Dated July 1, 2004 (as Amended) (the
26    “Plan”), filed by Consolidated Freightways Corporation of Delaware (“CFCD”), Consolidated
27    Freightways Corporation (“CFC”), Redwood Systems, Inc., Leland James Service Corporation,
28    CF Airfreight Corporation and CF MovesU.com Incorporated (collectively, the “Debtors,” and

 

LOGO         


1    each a “Debtor”), (ii) the modifications to the Plan put on the record at the Confirmation
2    Hearing, (iii) the documents, evidence and matters listed in the Findings of Fact and Conclusions
3    of Law re: Order Confirming Debtors’ Consolidated Plan of Liquidation Dated July 1, 2004 (as
4    Amended), entered by this Court concurrently herewith (the “Findings and Conclusions”), (iv)
5    the declarations and other evidence submitted in support of the Plan, (v) the objections and
6    responses filed to the Plan as set forth on the docket of these cases, and (vi) the arguments and
7    evidence proffered at the Confirmation Hearing. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have
8    the meanings ascribed to them in the Amended Plan (as defined below). Appearances were
9    made at the Confirmation Hearing as noted on the record of the Confirmation Hearing. Based on
10    the record in these cases, the Findings and Conclusions entered contemporaneously herewith,
11    and good cause and adequate notice appearing therefor,
12   

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

13   

A. The Plan, as modified herein and attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (the

14    “Amended Plan”), is CONFIRMED and approved in its entirety; to the extent there exists any
15    conflict or discrepancy between the Amended Plan and this Confirmation Order, this
16    Confirmation Order shall control. The Debtors are hereby authorized to take all steps and do all
17    things necessary to implement the Amended Plan.
18   

B. The failure to reference or discuss any particular provision of the

19    Amended Plan in this Confirmation Order shall have no effect on this Court’s approval and
20    authorization of, or the validity, binding effect, and enforceability of, such provision; and each
21    provision of the Amended Plan is authorized and approved and shall have the same validity,
22    binding effect, and enforceability as every other provision of the Amended Plan, whether or not
23    mentioned in this Confirmation Order.
24   

C. All objections to confirmation of the Amended Plan that were not

25    withdrawn or otherwise resolved in the manner stated on the record of the Confirmation Hearing
26    or in papers filed with the Court prior to the Confirmation Hearing are overruled.
27   

D. The Plan is hereby deemed modified pursuant to Section 1127(a) of the

28    Bankruptcy Code and Section 15.4 of the Plan to reflect the following:

 

LOGO   2     


1   

1. Section 1.2.89 of the Plan is modified by deleting the period at the end

2    thereof and inserting the following in lieu thereof: “; provided that, in determining the amount of
3    Allowed Priority Non-Tax Claims under section 507(a)(4) of Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors shall
4    prorate such Claims to the extent required by law in the event that the aggregate amount of such
5    Claims exceeds the cap set forth in section 507(a)(4)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code.”
6   

2. Section 3.3 of the Plan is deleted in its entirety and the following is

7    inserted in lieu thereof:
8   

3.3    Priority Tax Claims.

9   

With respect to each Allowed Priority Tax Claim, at the sole option of the

10   

Debtors or the Trustee, as applicable, the Trust shall pay to each Holder of an Allowed

11   

Priority Tax Claim on account of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim, in full satisfaction,

12   

settlement, release and discharge of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim, (a) in accordance

13   

with Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(9)(C), equal Cash payments made on the last

14   

Business Day of every three-month period following the Effective Date, over a period not

15   

exceeding six years after the assessment of the tax on which such Claim is based, totaling

16   

the principal amount of such Claim, (b) such other treatment agreed to by the Holder of

17   

such Allowed Priority Tax Claim and the Debtors in writing prior to Confirmation,

18   

provided such treatment is no less favorable to the Debtors than the treatment set forth in

19   

clause (a) hereof, or (c) payment in full on or as soon as practicable after the Effective

20   

Date, provided that alternative (a) under this section shall not be used by the Debtors or

21   

the Trustee without the prior consent of the Committee or the Oversight Committee, as

22   

applicable. Interest on Allowed Priority Tax Claims will accrue, and be payable, as

23   

follows: (i) the Debtors shall not be required to pay post-petition interest on any Allowed

24   

Priority Tax Claim (or any portion thereof) that is paid on the Effective Date or within

25   

thirty (30) days thereafter; (ii) except for any Allowed Priority Tax Claim (or any portion

26   

thereof) paid pursuant to subsection (i) above, the Debtors shall pay interest at the Prime

27   

Rate (as defined below) on any unpaid Priority Tax Claim (or any unpaid portion thereof)

28   

to the extent it becomes an Allowed Priority Tax Claim, during the period from the

 

LOGO   3     


1   

Effective Date through the earlier to occur of payment of such Allowed Priority Tax

2   

Claim (or portion thereof) or the first Business Day that is at least one (1) year after the

3   

Effective Date (the “First Anniversary Date”) and (iii) for any Allowed Priority Tax

4   

Claim (or any portion thereof) that is not paid on or before the First Anniversary Date,

5   

the Debtors shall be required to pay, in addition to the accrued interest described in

6   

subsection (ii) above, interest (from and after the First Anniversary Date) at a rate equal

7   

to the Prime Rate plus one percent (1%) until such Allowed Priority Tax Claim (or

8   

portion thereof) is paid in full in accordance with this section 3.3. As used in this section

9   

3.3, the term “Prime Rate” means an adjustable rate of interest equal to the prime rate as

10   

announced in The Wall Street Journal (National Edition) on the Effective Date as

11   

adjusted thereafter on a monthly basis on the first Business Day of each calendar month

12   

after the Effective Date, as announced in The Wall Street Journal (National Edition). The

13   

Trust shall have the right to pay any Allowed Priority Tax Claim, or any remaining

14   

balance of such Claim, in full, at any time on or after the Effective Date, without

15   

premium or penalty of any kind (other than accrued interest calculated in accordance with

16   

this section 3.3).

17   

3. Subsection (9) of Section 7.4 of the Plan is modified by inserting the

18    following immediately after the semicolon at the end thereof: “provided that, in the event that
19    the annual premiums for insurance or bonds to insure the Trustee or the Oversight Committee
20    and its members exceed $250,000 in the aggregate, Court approval shall be required after notice
21    to the Office of the United States Trustee, Crown Enterprises, Inc., Atlas Oil Holdings, Co., the
22    Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, the Debtors and any other person that specifically
23    requests notice of post-Effective Date matters brought before the Court;”.
24   

4. Subsection (11) of Section 7.4 of the Plan is modified by deleting the

25    period at the end thereof and inserting the following in lieu thereof: “; provided further that,
26    notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee must disclose to the Court, in advance, with notice to
27    the Office of the United States Trustee, Crown Enterprises, Inc., Atlas Oil Holdings, Co., the
28    Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, the Debtors and any other person that specifically

 

LOGO   4     


1    requests notice of post-Effective Date matters brought before the Court, the identity of any
2    insider (as such term is defined in Section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code) of the Trustee or any
3    member of the Oversight Committee that the Trustee intends to employ at the expense of the
4    Trust;”.
5   

5. Section 8.4 of the Plan is modified by deleting the period in the second

6    sentence and inserting the following in lieu thereof: “; provided that, notwithstanding the
7    foregoing, the Oversight Committee must disclose to the Court, in advance, with notice to the
8    Office of the United States Trustee, Crown Enterprises, Inc., Atlas Oil Holdings, Co., the
9    Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, the Debtors and any other person that specifically
10    requests notice of post-Effective Date matters brought before the Court, the identity of any
11    insider (as such term is defined in section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code) of the Trustee or any
12    member of the Oversight Committee that the Oversight Committee intends to employ at the
13    expense of the Trust.”
14   

6. Section 9.20 of the Plan is deleted in its entirety and the following is

15    inserted in lieu thereof:
16   

9.20 Setoff and Recoupment

17   

Nothing in the Plan shall impair the right of any Person, including the Debtors, to

18   

set off any obligation which it has against any mutual obligation of another party in

19   

accordance with applicable non-bankruptcy law or to assert a right of recoupment in

20   

accordance with otherwise applicable non-bankruptcy law. Subject to the preceding

21   

sentence, the Trust may, but shall not be required to, set off claims of any nature that the

22   

Debtor or the Trust may have against the Holder of any Allowed Claim, whether or not

23   

the Debtor’s or the Trust’s claim is released pursuant to the Plan, against any Allowed

24   

Claim of such Holder, and against the Distributions to be made by the Trust pursuant to

25   

the Plan on account of such Allowed Claim, provided, however, that neither the failure to

26   

effect such a setoff, nor the allowance of any Claim against the Debtor or Trust, shall

27   

constitute a waiver or release by the Debtor or the Trust of any claim that the Debtor or

28   

the Trust may possess against such Holder. Any Creditor that receives a distribution(s)

 

LOGO   5     


1   

under this Plan and thereafter seeks to exercise a valid right of setoff or recoupment with

2   

respect to the unpaid portion of its Allowed Unsecured Claim shall, as a condition to the

3   

exercise of such right, return to the Trust an amount, if any, equal to the difference

4   

between the amount of the distribution(s) received by such Creditor under the Plan and

5   

the amount of the distribution(s) such Creditor would have received had the setoff or

6   

recoupment occurred as of the Effective Date. Thus, for example, if a Creditor has an

7   

Allowed Unsecured Claim in the amount of $1,000,000 and the distribution to Holders of

8   

Allowed Class 4 Claims equals $.15 for every $1 of Allowed Unsecured Claim under the

9   

Plan, the Creditor would receive $150,000 in Distributions under the Plan. If the Trustee

10   

thereafter asserts an action against the Creditor seeking $800,000 in damages, assuming

11   

that (a) the Creditor could exercise the right of setoff with respect to this liability under

12   

applicable non-bankruptcy law and (b) the setoff had occurred as of the Effective Date

13   

(before any Distributions under the Plan had occurred), the Creditor’s Unsecured Claim

14   

would have been Allowed in the amount of $200,000 ($1,000,000 less the $800,000

15   

setoff), for which it would have received Distributions totaling $30,000 in the aggregate.

16   

Thus, in order for the Creditor to exercise its right of setoff in this instance, it would be

17   

required to pay to the Trust $120,000, which equals the difference between the $150,000

18   

in actual Distributions that such Creditor received under the Plan and the $30,000 in

19   

Distributions that it would have received under the Plan had the setoff been exercised on

20   

or before the Effective Date.

21   

7. Section 12.9 of the Plan is modified by inserting the following phrase at

22    the start of subsection (d) thereof: “except as set forth in section 9.20 above,”.
23   

8. The first sentence of Section 12.11 of the Plan is modified by deleting the

24    word “and” immediately after the words “other than the Debtors, the Trust” and inserting a
25    comma in lieu thereof, and adding the following immediately after the words “the LLC Entities”:
26    “and, solely as provided in Section 12.4 of the Plan, GE Capital”;
27   

9. The following is added as a new Section 15.22 to the Plan:

28   

15.22    Consolidation Stipulation and Other Agreements

 

LOGO   6     


1   

Except as expressly set forth in the Confirmation Order, nothing in the Plan shall

2   

modify, alter or amend the Consolidation Stipulation, the Consolidation Order, the

3   

Stipulation Between CNF Inc. and Its Affiliates and Debtors with Respect to Canadian

4   

Sale Proceeds Distribution, filed on February 23, 2004 (the “CNF Stipulation”), or that

5   

certain Reimbursement Agreement between Bank of America, N.A. and CFCD (the

6   

Reimbursement Agreement). From and after the Effective Date, the Trust shall be

7   

deemed to have assumed the Debtors’ obligations under the Consolidation Stipulation,

8   

the CNF Stipulation and the Reimbursement Agreement, and shall be bound by the terms

9   

thereof.

10   

E. Binding Effect. Pursuant to Section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, and

11    except as expressly provided in the Amended Plan or this Confirmation Order, the provisions of
