     WHEREAS, OC has been reorganized under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in a case pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, known as In re Owens Corning, et al, Debtors, Case No. 00-03837 (JKF); and

- 3 -


 

SECTION 1
AGREEMENT OF TRUST
     1.1 Creation and Name. OC as Settlor hereby creates a trust known as the Owens Corning/Fibreboard Asbestos Personal Injury Trust or PI Trust, which is provided for and referred to in the Plan. The Trustees of the PI Trust may transact the business and affairs of the PI Trust in the name of the PI Trust. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the trust created hereby constitute a statutory trust under Chapter 38 of title 12 of the Delaware Code, 12 Del. C. § 3801 et seq. (the “Act”) and that this document, together with the by-laws described herein, constitute the governing instruments of the PI Trust. The Trustees and the Delaware Trustee are hereby authorized and directed to execute and file a Certificate of Trust with the Delaware Secretary of State in the form attached hereto.
     1.2 Purpose. The purpose of the PI Trust is to assume the liabilities of OC and Fibreboard, their predecessors and successors in interest, for all Asbestos Personal Injury Claims (as defined in the Plan), and to use the PI Trust Assets and income to pay the holders of all PI Trust Claims in accordance with this PI Trust Agreement and the TDP in such a way that such holders of PI Trust Claims are treated fairly, equitably and reasonably in light of the limited assets available to satisfy such claims, and to otherwise comply in all respects with the requirements of a trust set forth in Section 524(g)(2)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code.
     1.3 Transfer of Assets. Pursuant to the Plan, the consideration described in Section 10.3(a) and Section 10.3(b) of the Plan (the “PI Trust Share”) has been transferred and assigned to the PI Trust to settle and discharge all Asbestos Personal Injury Claims. Pursuant to the Plan, OC, its successors in interest thereto, from and after the Effective Date (“Reorganized OC”) and others may also transfer and assign additional assets to the PI Trust from time to time (together with the PI Trust Share, the “PI Trust Assets”). In all events, the PI Trust Assets will be transferred to the PI Trust free and clear of any liens or other claims by OC, Reorganized OC,

- 4 -


 

any creditor, or other entity. OC, Reorganized OC, and any other transferors shall also execute and deliver such documents to the PI Trust as the Trustees reasonably request to transfer and assign the PI Trust Assets to the PI Trust.
     1.4 Acceptance of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities.
          (a) In furtherance of the purposes of the PI Trust, the Trustees, on behalf of the PI Trust, hereby expressly accept the transfer and assignment to the PI Trust of the PI Trust Assets in the time and manner contemplated in the Plan.
          (b) In furtherance of the purposes of the PI Trust, the Trustees, on behalf of the PI Trust, expressly assume all liability for all Asbestos Personal Injury Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this PI Trust Agreement and the TDP, the PI Trust shall have all defenses, cross-claims, offsets, and recoupments, as well as rights of indemnification, contribution, subrogation, and similar rights, regarding such claims that OC and Reorganized OC have or would have had under applicable law. Regardless of the foregoing, however, a claimant must meet otherwise applicable federal, state and foreign statutes of limitations and repose, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1(a)(2) of the TDP.
          (c) No provision herein or in the TDP shall be construed to mandate distributions on any claims or other actions that would contravene the PI Trust’s compliance with the requirements of a qualified settlement fund within the meaning of section 1.468B-1 et seq. of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under section 468B of the IRC.
          (d) OC, Reorganized OC, Fibreboard and Reorganized Fibreboard, and any successor in interest of each of the foregoing, shall be entitled to indemnification from the PI Trust for any expenses, costs, and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, but

- 5 -


 

excluding any such expenses, costs, and fees incurred prior to the Effective Date), judgments, settlements, or other liabilities arising from or incurred in connection with any action related to OC and FB Asbestos Personal Injury Claims, including, but not limited to, indemnification or contribution for such claims prosecuted against Reorganized OC or Reorganized Fibreboard.
          (e) Nothing in this PI Trust Agreement shall be construed in any way to limit the scope, enforceability, or effectiveness of the Section 524(g) injunction issued in connection with the Plan or the PI Trust’s assumption of all liability for PI Trust Claims, subject to the provisions of Section 1.4(b) above.

If the Future Claimants’ Representative decides to withhold consent, he or she must explain in detail his or her objections to the proposed action. If the Future Claimants’ Representative does not advise the Trustees in writing of his or her consent or objections to the proposed action within 30 days of receiving the notice from the Trustees regarding such consent, the Future Claimants’ Representative’s consent shall be deemed to have been affirmatively granted.
               (iii) If, after following the procedures specified in this Section 5.7(b), the Future Claimants’ Representative continues to object to the proposed action and to withhold its consent to the proposed action, the Trustees and/or the Future Claimants’ Representative shall resolve their dispute pursuant to Section 7.13. However, the burden of proof with respect to the validity of the Future Claimants’ Representative’s objection and withholding of his or her consent shall be on the Future Claimants’ Representative.

     7.1 Irrevocability. The PI Trust is irrevocable.
     7.2 Term; Termination.
          (a) The term for which the PI Trust is to exist shall commence on the date of the filing of the Certificate of Trust and shall terminate pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2 below.

- 39 -


 

          (b) The PI Trust shall automatically dissolve on the date (the “Dissolution Date”) ninety (90) days after the first to occur of the following events:
               (i) the date on which the Trustees decide to dissolve the PI Trust because (A) they deem it unlikely that new asbestos claims will be filed against the PI Trust, (B) all PI Trust Claims duly filed with the PI Trust have been liquidated and paid to the extent provided in this PI Trust Agreement and the TDP or disallowed by a final, non-appealable order, to the extent possible based upon the funds available through the Plan, and (C) twelve (12) consecutive months have elapsed during which no new asbestos claim has been filed with the PI Trust; or
               (ii) if the Trustees have procured and have in place irrevocable insurance policies and have established claims handling agreements and other necessary arrangements with suitable third parties adequate to discharge all expected remaining obligations and expenses of the PI Trust in a manner consistent with this PI Trust Agreement and the TDP, the date on which the Bankruptcy Court enters an order approving such insurance and other arrangements and such order becomes a final order; or
               (iii) to the extent that any rule against perpetuities shall be deemed applicable to the PI Trust, twenty-one (21) years less ninety-one (91) days pass after the death of the last survivor of all of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., of Massachusetts, father of the late President John F. Kennedy, living on the date hereof.
          (c) On the Dissolution Date or as soon as reasonably practicable, after the wind-up of the PI Trust’s affairs by the Trustees and payment of all the PI Trust’s liabilities have been provided for as required by applicable law including Section 3808 of the Act, all

monies remaining in the PI Trust estate shall be given to such organization(s) exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, which tax-exempt organization(s) shall be selected by the Trustees using their reasonable discretion; provided, however, that (i) if practicable, the activities of the selected tax-exempt organization(s) shall be related to the treatment of, research on, or the relief of suffering of individuals suffering from asbestos related lung disease or disorders, and (ii) the tax-exempt organization(s) shall not bear any relationship to Reorganized OC within the meaning of Section 468B(d)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan and related documents, this Section 7.2(c) cannot be modified or amended.
          (d) Following the dissolution and distribution of the assets of the PI Trust, the PI Trust shall terminate and the Trustees, or any one of them, shall execute and cause a Certificate of Cancellation of the Certificate of Trust of the PI Trust to be filed in accordance with the Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this PI Trust Agreement, the existence of the PI Trust as a separate legal entity shall continue until the filing of such Certificate of Cancellation.
     7.3 Amendments. The Trustees, after consultation with the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative, and subject to the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative, may modify or amend this PI Trust Agreement and the PI Trust By-laws. The Trustees, after consultation with the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative, and subject to the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative, may modify or amend the TDP, provided, however, that no amendment to the TDP shall be inconsistent with the limitations on amendments provided therein, and, in particular, the provisions limiting amendment of the Claims Payment Ratio set forth in Section 2.5 of the TDP and of the Payment

- 41 -


 

Percentage set forth in Section 4.2 of the TDP. Any modification or amendment made pursuant to this Article must be done in writing. Notwithstanding anything contained in this PI Trust Agreement to the contrary, neither this PI Trust Agreement, the PI Trust Bylaws, the TDP, nor any document annexed to the foregoing shall be modified or amended in any way that could jeopardize, impair, or modify the applicability of Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, the efficacy or enforceability of the injunction entered thereunder, or the PI Trust’s qualified settlement fund status under Section 468B of the Internal Revenue Code.
     7.4 Severability. Should any provision in this PI Trust Agreement be determined to be unenforceable, such determination shall in no way limit or affect the enforceability and operative effect of any and all other provisions of this PI Trust Agreement.
     7.5 Notices. Notices to persons asserting claims shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, at the address of such person, or, where applicable, such person’s legal representative, in each case as provided on such person’s claim form submitted to the PI Trust with respect to his or her PI Trust Claim.

     7.6 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this PI Trust Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of OC, Reorganized OC, the PI Trust, and the Trustees and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither OC, Reorganized OC, the PI Trust, or the Trustees may assign or otherwise transfer any of its, or their, rights or obligations under this PI Trust Agreement except, in the case of the PI Trust and the Trustees, as contemplated by Section 2.1 above.
     7.7 Limitation on Claim Interests for Securities Laws Purposes. PI Trust Claims, and any interests therein (a) shall not be assigned, conveyed, hypothecated, pledged or otherwise transferred, voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, except by will or under the laws of descent and distribution; (b) shall not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument; (c) shall not possess any voting rights; and (d) shall not be entitled to receive any dividends or interest; provided, however, that clause (a) of this Section 7.8 shall not apply to the holder of a claim that is subrogated to a PI Trust Claim as a result of its satisfaction of such PI Trust Claim.
     7.8 Entire Agreement; No Waiver. The entire agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter of this PI Trust Agreement is contained herein and in the documents referred to herein, and this PI Trust Agreement and such documents supersede any prior oral or written agreements concerning the subject matter hereof. No failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of rights under law or in equity.

- 46 -


 

     7.9 Headings. The headings used in this PI Trust Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a portion of this PI Trust Agreement, nor in any manner affect the construction of the provisions of this PI Trust Agreement.

     7.12 Dispute Resolution. Any disputes that arise under this PI Trust Agreement or under the TDP among the parties hereto shall be resolved by submission of the matter to an alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) process mutually agreeable to the parties involved. Should any party to the ADR process be dissatisfied with the decision of the arbitrator(s), that party may apply to the Bankruptcy Court for a judicial determination of the matter. Any review conducted by the Bankruptcy Court shall be de novo. In any case, if the dispute arose pursuant to the consent provision set forth in Section 5.7(b) (in the case of the TAC) or Section 6.6(b) (in the case of the Future Claimants’ Representative), the burden of proof shall be on the party or parties who withheld consent to show that the objection was valid. Should the dispute not be resolved by ADR process within thirty (30) days after submission, the parties are relieved of the requirement to pursue ADR prior to application to the Bankruptcy Court. If the Trustees determine that the matter in dispute is exigent and cannot await the completion of the ADR

process, the Trustees shall have the discretion to elect out of the ADR process altogether or at any stage of the process and seek resolution of the dispute in the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding anything else herein contained, to the extent any provision of this PI Trust Agreement is inconsistent with any provision of the Plan or the TDP, the Plan or the TDP, as the case may be, shall control.
     7.13 Enforcement and Administration. The provisions of this PI Trust Agreement and the TDP attached hereto shall be enforced by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the Plan. The parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the settlement of the accounts of the Trustees and over any disputes hereunder not resolved by alternative dispute resolution in accordance with Section 7.13 above.
     7.14 Effectiveness. This PI Trust Agreement shall not become effective until it has been executed and delivered by all the parties hereto.
     7.15 Counterpart Signatures. This PI Trust Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this PI Trust Agreement this 31st day of October, 2006.
