An Administrative Expense Claim, with respect to which a request for payment has been properly and timely filed pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Plan, shall become an Allowed Administrative Expense Claim if no objection to such request is filed by the Liquidating Trustee with the Bankruptcy Court on or before one-hundred and twenty (120) days after the Effective Date, or on such later date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court.  If an objection is timely filed, the Administrative Expense Claim shall become an Allowed Administrative Expense Claim only to the extent allowed by Final Order or such Claim is settled, compromised, or otherwise resolved by the Liquidating Trustee pursuant to Section 7.5 of this Plan.

Except to the extent that a holder of an Allowed Administrative Expense Claim (other than a Professional Fee Claim) agrees to a different treatment, the holder of such Allowed Administrative Expense Claim shall receive, on account of such Allowed Claim, Cash in an amount equal to the Allowed amount of such Claim from the Priority Reserve within thirty (30) days following the later to occur of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the date on which such Administrative Expense Claim shall become an Allowed Claim.

(a)As further described in the Disclosure Statement, the provisions of this Plan (including the release and injunctive provisions contained in Article X of this Plan) and the other documents entered into in connection with this Plan and the Trust Formation Transactions constitute a good faith compromise and settlement among the Settling Parties of Claims and controversies among such parties.  The Plan, including the explanation set forth in the Disclosure Statement, shall be deemed a motion to approve the Plan Settlement and the good faith compromise and settlement of all of the Claims and controversies described in the foregoing sentence pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Plan Settlement under section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, as well as a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that the Plan Settlement is fair, equitable, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates.

(b)This Plan, the Plan Settlement, the Plan Documents, and the Confirmation Order constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of Claims and controversies based upon the unique circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases (such as cash on hand to run the cases, total value available, and the need for an accelerated resolution without litigation) and none of the foregoing documents, nor any materials used in furtherance of Plan confirmation (including, but not limited to, the Disclosure Statement, notes and drafts), may be offered into evidence, deemed an admission, used as precedent, or used in any context whatsoever beyond the purposes of this Plan, in any other litigation or proceeding except as necessary, and as admissible in such context, to enforce their terms before the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction.  This Plan, the Plan Settlement, the Plan Documents, and the Confirmation Order will be binding as to the matters and issues described therein, but will not be binding with respect to similar matters or issues that might arise in any other litigation or proceeding in which the Debtors are not a party.  Any Person’s support of, or position or action taken in connection with, this Plan, the Plan Settlement, the Plan Documents, and the Confirmation Order may differ from his position or testimony in any other litigation or proceeding in which the Debtors are not a party.  Further, and as all parties to the Mediation agreed, this Plan Settlement is not intended to be a blueprint for other chapter 11 cases in the opioid space, nor is it intended to be used as precedent by any party.

5.2Substantive Consolidation of the Debtors.

The Plan shall be implemented through a substantive consolidation of the assets and liabilities of the Debtors with one another.  The Confirmation Order shall contain findings supporting the conclusions providing for substantive consolidation for purposes of

30


 

distribution on the terms set forth in this Section of the Plan.  The substantive consolidation of the Assets and liabilities and properties of the Debtors shall have the effects set forth in this Section of the Plan.

(a)The Chapter 11 Cases of the Debtors shall be consolidated into the case of Insys Therapeutics, Inc. as a single consolidated case with respect to Claims against the Debtors. All property of the estate of each Debtor shall be deemed to be property of the consolidated estates with respect to the payment of Claims against the Debtors.

(b)All Claims against each Debtor’s Estate shall be deemed to be Claims against the consolidated estates, all proofs of claim filed against one or more of the Debtors shall be deemed to be a single Claim filed against the consolidated estates, and all duplicate proofs of claim for the same Claim filed against more than one Debtor shall be deemed expunged.

(c)As set forth in Section 4.11, no Distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of Intercompany Claims among the Debtors.

(d)For purposes of determining the availability of the right of setoff under section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors shall be treated as one consolidated entity so that, subject to the other provisions of section 553, debts due to any of the Debtors may be set off against the debts of any other of the Debtors.

(p)Expedited Determination of Taxes.  The Liquidating Trustee may request an expedited determination of taxes under section 505(b) of the Bankruptcy Code for all tax returns filed by or on behalf of the Insys Liquidation Trust through the ILT Termination Date, and for all tax returns filed by or on behalf of the Debtors or the Liquidating Debtors for all taxable periods of the Debtors and the Liquidating Debtors.

The Liquidating Trustee and all holders of beneficial interests in the Victims Restitution Trust shall report consistently with the foregoing. The Liquidating Trustee shall be the “administrator,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.468B-2(k)(3), of the Victims Restitution Trust.

5.10Non-Transferability of Trust Interests.

Any and all Trust Interests, rights to receive a Distribution from the Trust, the Priority Reserve, the Trust Operating Reserves, or the Recovery Funds will not constitute “securities” and will not be registered pursuant to the Securities Act or any applicable state or local securities law. However, if it should be determined that any such interests constitute “securities,” the exemption provisions of section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code will be satisfied and the offer and sale under the Plan of the Trust Interests will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and all applicable state and local securities laws and regulations. Further, any and all Trust Interests, rights to receive a Distribution from the Trust, the Priority Reserve, the Trust Operating Reserves, or the Recovery Funds shall not be certificated, shall be non-transferable other than if transferred by will, intestate succession, or otherwise by operation of law, and shall be subject to certain other restrictions.  Moreover, any and all Trust Interests shall neither be listed for trading on any national securities exchange.

5.12Indemnification of Liquidating Trustee.

The Liquidating Trustee shall not be liable for actions taken or omitted in its capacity as, or on behalf of, the Liquidating Trustee, the Trusts, or the Liquidating Debtors, except those acts found by Final Order to be arising out of its willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence, or fraud, and 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 Liquidating Trustee, the Trusts, or the Liquidating Debtors, except for any actions or inactions found by Final Order to be arising out of its willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence, or fraud.  Any valid indemnification claim of the Liquidating Trustee shall be satisfied from the ILT Operating Reserve.

As of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the Claims register shall be closed.  The Liquidating Trustee shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of any such Claims occurring after the close of business on the Distribution Record Date and shall instead be entitled to recognize and deal, for all purposes under the Plan, with only those holders of record as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date.

6.12Manner of Payment under Plan.

At the option of the Disbursing Agent, any Cash payment to be made pursuant to the Plan may be made by a check or wire transfer or as otherwise required or provided in the applicable Trust Agreement.

6.13Minimum Cash Distributions.

The Disbursing Agent shall not be required to make any Distributions of Cash less than $100, or such lower amount as determined by the Disbursing Agent in accordance with the applicable Trust Agreement, to any holder of an Allowed Claim; provided, however, that if any Distribution is not made pursuant to this Section, such Distribution shall be added to any subsequent Distribution to be made on behalf of the holder’s Allowed Claims.  The Disbursing Agent shall not be required to make any final Distribution of Cash less than $25 to any holder of an Allowed Claim.  If the amount of any final Distribution to any holder of Allowed Claims would be $25 or less, then such Distribution shall be made available for distribution to all holders of Allowed Claims receiving final Distributions of at least $25.  Estate Distributable Value in the ILT Recovery Fund and Products Liability Insurance Proceeds in the VRT Recovery Fund after all final Distributions to holders of the applicable Allowed Claims have been made in accordance with the Plan shall be distributed to a charity to be selected by the Liquidating Trustee in accordance with cy pres principles.

6.14Setoffs and Recoupment.

Subject to Section 2.2 and Sections 10.4 through 10.7 of the Plan, the Liquidating Trustee may, but shall not be required to, setoff against, or recoup from, any Claim and from any payments to be made pursuant to the Plan with respect to such Claim any claims of any nature whatsoever (to the extent permitted by applicable law) that the Debtors or the Liquidating Debtors may have against the claimant, but neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors, the Liquidating Debtors, or the Liquidating Trustee of any such Claim it may have against such claimant.

6.15Distributions after Effective Date.

Distributions made after the Effective Date to holders of Disputed Claims that are not Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date, but which later become Allowed Claims, shall be deemed to have been made on the Effective Date.

6.16Interest and Penalties on Claims.

Unless otherwise provided for in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or required by applicable bankruptcy law, no holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date or penalties on any Claim.  Any such interest or penalty component of any such Claims, if Allowed, shall be paid only in accordance with section 726(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

53


 

6.17Allocation of Distributions between Principal and Interest.

Except as otherwise required by law (as reasonably determined by the Liquidating Trustee), distributions with respect to any Allowed Claims shall be allocated first to the principal amount of such Allowed Claims (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and, thereafter, to the remaining portion of such Allowed Claim, if any.

6.18No 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, Distributions in excess of the Allowed amount of such Claim when combined with amounts received by such holders from other sources.

6.19Satisfaction of Claims.

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

6.20Withholding and Reporting Requirements.

(a)Withholding Rights. In connection with the Plan, and all instruments or Interests issued in connection therewith and in consideration thereof, any party issuing any instrument or making any distribution described in the Plan shall comply with all applicable withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, or local taxing authority, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan and all related agreements shall be subject to any such withholding or reporting requirements.  In the case of a non-Cash distribution that is subject to withholding, the distributing party may withhold an appropriate portion of such distributed property and either (i) sell such withheld property to generate Cash necessary to pay over the withholding tax (or reimburse the distributing party for any advance payment of the withholding tax), or (ii) pay the withholding tax using its own funds and retain such withheld property.  Any amounts withheld pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been distributed to, and received by, the applicable recipient for all purposes of the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each holder of an Allowed Claim or any other Person that receives a distribution pursuant to the Plan shall have responsibility for any taxes imposed by any Governmental Unit, including, without limitation, income, withholding, and other taxes, on account of such distribution.  In the event that any party issues any instrument or makes any non-Cash distribution pursuant to the Plan that is subject to withholding tax and such issuing or distributing party has not sold such withheld property to generate Cash to pay the withholding tax, or paid the withholding tax using its own funds and retains such withheld property as described above, such issuing or distributing party has the right, but not the obligation, to not make a distribution until such holder has made arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such issuing or disbursing party for payment of any such tax obligations.

(b)Forms. Any party entitled to receive any property as an issuance or Distribution under the Plan shall, upon request, deliver to the Disbursing Agent or such other Person designated by the Liquidating Debtors, the Liquidating Trustee, the ILT Claims Arbiter, or

54


 

the VRT Claims Administrator (which Person shall subsequently deliver to the Disbursing Agent or such other Person any applicable IRS Form W-8 or Form W-9 received) an appropriate Form W-9 or Form W-8, as applicable, and any other forms or documents reasonably requested by the Liquidating Debtors, the Liquidating Trustee, the ILT Claims Arbiter, or the VRT Claims Administrator to reduce or eliminate any withholding required by any federal, state, or local taxing authority.  If any such request is made by the Liquidating Debtors, the Liquidating Trustee, the ILT Claims Arbiter, or the VRT Claims Administrator, the Disbursing Agent, or such other Person designated by the Liquidating Debtors, the Liquidating Trustee, the ILT Claims Arbiter, or the VRT Administrator, and the holder fails to comply before the date that is three hundred sixty-five (365) calendar days after the request is made, the amount of such Distribution shall irrevocably revert to the applicable Trust and any Claim with respect to such Distribution shall be discharged and forever barred from assertion against the applicable Trust or its property.

(c)Obligation. Notwithstanding the above, each holder of an Allowed Claim that is to receive a 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 distribution.

ARTICLE VII

PROCEDURES FOR DISPUTED CLAIMS.

7.1Claim Objections.

On or after the Effective Date, objections to Claims against the Debtors may be interposed and prosecuted only by the Liquidating Trustee, the ILT Claims Arbiter, or the VRT Claims Administrator, as applicable.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2 of this Plan with respect to Administrative Expense Claims, any objections to Claims shall be served on the respective Claim holder and filed with the Bankruptcy Court (i) on or before one hundred twenty (120) days following the later of (a) the Effective Date and (b) the date that a proof of Claim is filed or amended or a Claim is otherwise asserted or amended in writing by or on behalf of a holder of such Claim, or (ii) on such later date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court.  Notwithstanding the remainder of this Section, the VRT Claims Administrator shall resolve Personal Injury Claims in accordance with [the Claims Analysis Protocol and] this Plan.

7.2No Distribution Pending Allowance.

Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, if any portion of a Claim is Disputed, no payment or Distribution provided under the Plan shall be made on account of such Claim unless and until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

7.3Estimation of Claims.

The Liquidating Trustee may, at any time, request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate, pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Disputed Claim, other than a Personal Injury Claim or a Claim subject to determination by the ILT Claims Arbiter, that the Bankruptcy Court has jurisdiction to estimate in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law 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

55


 

the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim, including during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection.  If the Bankruptcy Court estimates a Disputed Claim, that estimated amount shall constitute either the Allowed amount of such Claim, the amount used to determine the Disputed Claims Reserve, or a maximum limitation on such Claim, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court.  If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on such Claim, the Liquidating Trustee may elect to pursue any supplemental proceeding to object to any ultimate Distribution on account of such Claim.

7.4Distribution after Allowance.

On the first Distribution Date following the date on which a Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim against a Debtor, the Disbursing Agent shall remit to the respective Recovery Fund, for Distribution to the holder of such Allowed Claim, the Cash or Cash equivalents retained in the applicable Disputed Claims Reserve in an amount equal to the amount that would have been distributed to the holder of such Claim from the Effective Date through and including the Distribution Date had such Claim been Allowed as of the Effective Date (net of any costs and expenses, including taxes, of the applicable Disputed Claims Reserve).

7.5Resolution of Claims.

Except as expressly provided herein or in any order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases before the Effective Date, including the Confirmation Order, the Trusts, Liquidating Trustee, the ILT Claims Arbiter, and the VRT Claims Administrator (on or after the date(s) upon which each Trust is established) shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses held by the Debtors with respect to any Claim as of the Petition Date.  On and after the date(s) upon which the Trusts are established, in accordance with the Plan and the Trust Agreements, the Liquidating Trustee shall have the authority to compromise, settle, otherwise resolve, or withdraw any objections to Claims (other than Personal Injury Claims) against the Debtors and the Liquidating Debtors and to compromise, settle, or otherwise resolve any Disputed Claims (other than Personal Injury Claims) without approval of the Bankruptcy Court.  The VRT Claims Administrator shall have the sole authority to resolve Personal Injury Claims [in accordance with the Claims Analysis Protocol], without approval of the Bankruptcy Court.  If the Liquidating Trustee and a holder of a Disputed Claim are unable to reach a settlement on the Disputed Claim, such Disputed Claim shall be submitted to the Bankruptcy Court for resolution.  If any holder of a Personal Injury Claim disputes the decision made by the VRT Claims Administrator with respect to the allowance of its Claim, such holder shall have thirty (30) days to submit any new facts, information, or evidence to the VRT Claims Administrator, and the VRT Claims Administrator shall consider any such new facts, information, or evidence, after which the VRT Claims Administrator will make a final determination, which shall be binding.

7.6Property Held in Disputed Claims Reserves.

Each holder of a Disputed Claim that ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim shall have recourse only to the undistributed applicable Available Cash held in the Disputed Claims Reserves for satisfaction of the Distributions to which holders of Allowed Claims are entitled under the Plan (net of any costs and expenses, including taxes, of the applicable Disputed

56


 

Claims Reserve), and not against the Debtors, the Liquidating Debtors, their property (including reserves), or any assets previously distributed on account of any Allowed Claim.

7.7Claims Resolution Procedures Cumulative.

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

7.8No Postpetition Interest.

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or required by applicable bankruptcy law, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims, and no holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim.  Interest shall not accrue or be paid upon any Disputed Claim with respect to the period from the Effective Date to the date a Distribution is made thereon, on and after such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

ARTICLE VIII

EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES.

8.1Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

(a)As of and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, each executory contract and unexpired lease of the Debtors not previously assumed, rejected, or assumed and assigned by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall be deemed automatically rejected pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such executory contract or unexpired lease: (i) is listed on the Schedule of Assumed and Assigned Contracts, (ii) as of the Effective Date is subject to a pending motion to assume, reject, or assume and assign such executory contract or unexpired lease, or (iii) is a contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan.

(b)Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, the payment of any applicable Cure Amount, and the resolution of any Cure Dispute, the entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of the rejections, assumptions, and assumptions and assignments provided for in any Solicitation Procedures Order and in this Plan pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Unless otherwise indicated or provided in a separate order of the Bankruptcy Court, rejections or assumptions or assumptions and assignments of executory contracts and unexpired leases pursuant to any Solicitation Procedures Order and this Plan are effective as of the Effective Date.  Each executory contract and unexpired lease assumed pursuant to this Plan or by order of the Bankruptcy Court shall be assigned to a Trust on the date such Trust is established or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, and shall vest in, and be fully enforceable by, the applicable Trust in accordance with its terms, except as modified by the provisions of this Plan, any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption, or applicable law.

57


 

(c)Unless otherwise provided herein or by separate order of the Bankruptcy Court, each executory contract and unexpired lease that is assumed or assumed and assigned shall include any and all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument, or other document that in any manner affects such executory contract or unexpired lease, without regard to whether such agreement, instrument, or other document is listed in the Schedule of Assumed and Assigned Contracts.

(d)Except as otherwise expressly set forth on the Schedule of Assumed and Assigned Contracts, any contracts, engagement letters, retention agreements, and similar arrangements, in each case between the Debtors and any attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, investment bankers, or similar professionals, representatives, or advisors, have not been included on the Schedule of Assumed and Assigned Contracts and shall not be treated under the Plan as executory contracts subject to assumption, assumption and assignment, or rejection.  Counterparties to any such contracts, engagement letters, retention agreements, and similar arrangements were required to file proofs of claim by the General Bar Date (as defined in the Bar Date Order) and any Allowed Claims relating thereto shall be treated as Allowed Trade and Other Unsecured Claims in Class 3.  

8.2Determination of Cure Disputes and Deemed Consent.

(a)The Debtors shall file and serve on all required parties, in accordance with any Solicitation Procedures Order, the Schedule of Assumed and Assigned Contracts no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Confirmation Hearing.  If a counterparty to an executory contract or unexpired lease is not listed on such Schedule of Assumed and Assigned Contracts, the proposed Claim Cure for such executory contract or unexpired lease shall be deemed to be zero dollars ($0); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to those counterparties not listed on the Schedule of Assumed and Assigned Contracts that otherwise file a proof of Claim with the Bankruptcy Court.

(b)Any counterparty to an executory contract or unexpired lease shall have the time prescribed by any Solicitation Procedures Order to object to the Cure Claims listed on the notice and to adequate assurance of future performance by the applicable Trust.

(c)To the extent a Cure Dispute is asserted in an objection filed in accordance with any Solicitation Procedures Order, such Cure Dispute shall be scheduled for a hearing by the Bankruptcy Court.  Following resolution of a Cure Dispute by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, the applicable contract or lease shall be deemed assumed effective as of the Effective Date; provided, however, if any Claim subject to a Cure Dispute is Allowed in an amount greater than the Cure Amount for such Claim listed on the Schedule of Assumed and Assigned Contracts, the Debtors reserve the right to reject such executory contract or unexpired lease for a period of seven (7) Business Days following entry of a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court resolving the applicable Cure Dispute by filing a notice indicating such rejection with the Bankruptcy Court.

(d)To the extent any Cure Dispute with respect to an Assumed and Assigned Contract has not been resolved prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors shall establish

58


 

the Disputed Cure Claims Reserve.  Any amounts remaining in the Disputed Cure Claims Reserve after the resolution and payment, if applicable, of all Disputed Cure Claims with respect to the Assumed and Assigned Contracts, shall be included in the Priority Reserve.

(e)To the extent an objection is not timely filed and properly served on the Debtors with respect to a Cure Dispute, then the counterparty to the applicable contract or lease shall be deemed to have assented to (i) the Cure Amount proposed by the Debtors and (ii) the assumption of such contract or lease, notwithstanding any provision thereof that (a) prohibits, restricts, or conditions the transfer or assignment of such contract or lease, or (b) terminates or permits the termination of a contract or lease as a result of any direct or indirect transfer or assignment of the rights of the Debtors under such contract or lease or a change in the ownership or control as contemplated by the Plan, and shall forever be barred and enjoined from asserting such objection against the Debtors or terminating or modifying such contract or lease on account of transactions contemplated by the Plan.

(f)With respect to payment of any Cure Amounts or Cure Disputes, neither the Debtors, the Trusts, 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 Cure Claim.

8.3Payments Related to Assumption of Contracts and Leases.

(a)Subject to resolution of any Cure Dispute, any monetary amounts by which any Assumed and Assigned Contract is in default shall be satisfied, under section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by the Debtors or the Trusts, as the case may be, upon assumption thereof.

(b)Assumption and assignment of any Assumed and Assigned Contract pursuant to the Plan, or otherwise, shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Claims or defaults, subject to satisfaction of the Cure Amount, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any assumed executory contract or unexpired lease at any time before the effective date of assumption and/or assignment.  Any proofs of Claim filed with respect to an executory contract or unexpired lease that has been assumed shall be deemed Disallowed and expunged, without further notice, or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other Person.

8.4Rejection Claims.

In the event that the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease by any of the Debtors herein results in damages to the other party or parties to such contract or lease, any Claim for such damages, if not heretofore evidenced by a timely filed proof of Claim, shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors or their Estates, properties or interests in property, unless a proof of Claim is filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served upon the Debtors no later than thirty (30) days after the later of (i) the Confirmation Date and (ii) the effective date of the rejection of such executory contract or unexpired lease.  Any such Claims, to

59


 

the extent Allowed, shall be classified as Trade and Other Unsecured Claims in Class 3.  The Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the rejection of all the leases and contracts that are rejected as of the Effective Date.

8.5Survival of Debtors’ Indemnification Obligations.

Any obligations of the Debtors pursuant to their corporate charters, by-laws, limited liability company agreements, memorandum and articles of association, or other organizational documents and agreements to indemnify officers, directors, agents, or employees of the Debtors as of the Effective Date with respect to all present and future actions, suits, and proceedings against the Debtors or such officers, directors, agents, or employees based upon any act or omission for, or on behalf of, the Debtors shall not be discharged, impaired, or otherwise affected by this Plan; provided, however, that the Debtors shall not indemnify any Person for any Claims or Causes of Action alleging any act or omission that would constitute a criminal act or fraud, gross negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, or willful misconduct.  All such obligations that are assumed and assigned to the Insys Liquidation Trust shall be deemed and treated as Assumed and Assigned Contracts under this Plan.  Any Claim based on the Debtors’ obligations herein shall not be a Disputed Claim or subject to any objection, in either case, by reason of section 502(e)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code.

8.6Compensation and Benefit Plans.

Except with respect to any benefit plans, policies, or programs (i) for which the Debtors have received approval of the Bankruptcy Court to reject or terminate on or before the Effective Date or (ii) that are subject to a pending motion to reject or terminate as of the Confirmation Hearing, all employment and severance policies, and all compensation and benefit plans, policies, and programs of the Debtors applicable to their respective employees, and non-employee directors, including all savings plans, retirement plans, healthcare plans, disability plans, severance benefit plans, incentive and bonus plans, and life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance plans, are deemed to be, and shall be treated as, executory contracts under this Plan and, on the Effective Date, shall be rejected by the Debtors pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Any employment and severance policies; compensation and benefit plans, policies, and programs; or life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance plans relating or provided to a former employee of the Debtors who is retired as of the Effective Date shall be rejected with respect to such former employee except to the extent prohibited by section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code.

8.7Insurance Policies.

On or prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors may fund an upfront premium payment to purchase “tail insurance” to continue the Debtors’ existing directors’ and officers’ insurance.  All insurance policies to which any Debtor is a party as of the Effective Date shall be deemed to be and treated as Assumed and Assigned Contracts, and shall vest in the Insys Liquidation Trust (other than the Products Liability Insurance Policies, which will vest in the

60


 

Victims Restitution Trust) and continue in full force and effect thereafter in accordance with their respective terms.

8.8Reservation 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, shall 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 have 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 under any executory or non-executory contract or unexpired lease.

(c)Nothing in this Plan shall increase, augment, or add to any of the duties, obligations, responsibilities, or liabilities of the Debtors under any executory or non-executory contract or unexpired or expired lease, including the Insurance Policies.

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

The Insys Liquidation Trust shall have the right to prosecute any and all Causes of Action that have not been waived pursuant to this Plan or purchased by any of the purchasers of the Debtors’ Assets.  Except as expressly provided in Sections 10.4 through 10.7 of this Plan, nothing contained in this Plan or the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to be a waiver or relinquishment of any rights, Claims, Causes of Action, rights of setoff or recoupment, or other legal or equitable defenses that the Debtors had immediately before the Effective Date on behalf of the Estates or of themselves in accordance with any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable nonbankruptcy law.  Subject to Sections 10.4 through 10.7 of this Plan, all such Claims, Causes of Action, rights of setoff or recoupment, or other legal or equitable defenses shall be transferred to the Insys Liquidation Trust, which shall have, retain, reserve, and be entitled to assert all such Claims, Causes of Action, rights of setoff, or recoupment, [and other legal or equitable defenses]14 as fully as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced, and all of the Debtors’ and the Liquidating Debtors’ legal and equitable rights with respect to an Unimpaired Claim may be asserted after the Effective Date to the same extent as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced.

10.10Ipso Facto and Similar Provisions Ineffective.

Any term of any policy, contract, or other obligation applicable to a Debtor shall be void and of no further force or effect with respect to any Debtor to the extent such policy, contract, or other obligation is conditioned on, creates an obligation of the Debtor as a result of, or gives rise to a right of any Person based on any of the following: (i) the insolvency or financial condition of a Debtor; (ii) the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases; (iii) the confirmation or consummation of this Plan, including any change of control that shall occur as a result of such consummation; or (iv) the Trust Formation Transactions.

10.11No Successor Liability.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan and the Confirmation Order, each of the Trusts (i) is not, and shall not be deemed to assume, agree to perform, pay, or otherwise have any responsibilities for any liabilities or obligations of the Debtors or any other Person relating to or arising out of the operations or the assets of the Debtors on or prior to the Effective Date; (ii) is not, and shall not be, a successor to the Debtors by reason of any theory of law or equity or responsible for the knowledge or conduct of any Debtor prior to the Effective Date; and (iii) shall not have any successor or transferee liability of any kind or character.

10.12Special Provisions for Governmental Units.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Plan shall release, bar, or discharge any liability of the Trusts to any Governmental Unit, including any Claim by any state attorney general or similar Governmental Unit enforcing consumer protection laws or any other statutory or common law or principles of equity for any Claim against the Debtors, whenever arising, and nothing in this Plan shall stay or enjoin any state attorney

 

14 

Subject to continuing review.

68


 

general or similar Governmental Unit from enforcing consumer protection laws or any statutory or common law or principles of equity for any Claim, whenever arising, against a Trust.  Further, notwithstanding any provision of this Plan, the Trusts are not relieved from any obligations to address or comply with requests or inquiries from any state attorney general or similar Governmental Unit enforcing consumer protection laws.  Nothing in the Plan shall be a waiver or other limitation of any Trust’s rights, Claims, and defenses with respect to any Claims or other Causes of Action by a Governmental Unit.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in the Plan or the Plan Documents:

 

(i)

discharges, releases, precludes, or enjoins (1) any liability to any Governmental Unit that is not a “claim” as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101(5); (2) except as otherwise agreed to by a Governmental Unit, any claim of a Governmental Unit arising on or after the Effective Date; (3) any liability to a Governmental Unit under police and regulatory statutes or regulations that any entity would be subject to as the owner or operator of property after the Effective Date; or (4) any liability to a Governmental Unit on the part of any Entity other than the Debtors.  Nor shall anything in this Plan enjoin or otherwise bar a Governmental Unit from asserting or enforcing, outside of the Bankruptcy Court, any liability described in the preceding sentence; provided, however, that all parties’ rights and defenses under non-bankruptcy law with respect to (1)–(4) above are fully preserved;

 

(ii)

authorizes the transfer or assignment of any governmental (a) license, (b) permit, (c) registration, (d) authorization, or (e) approval, or the discontinuation of any obligation thereunder, without compliance with all applicable legal requirements and approvals under police or regulatory law;

 

(iii)

affects any valid setoff or recoupment rights of any Governmental Unit against any of the Debtors; provided, however, that the Debtors and the Trusts reserve all of their rights and defenses under applicable nonbankruptcy law with respect thereto; for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the Plan, the Plan Documents, or the Confirmation Order shall bar the IRS from exercising its nonbankruptcy rights to offset any request for a tax refund for a tax year ending prior to the Petition Date against any prepetition claim of the United States government against any of the Debtors;

 

(iv)

divests any tribunal of any jurisdiction it may have under police or regulatory law to interpret the Confirmation Order or the Plan or to adjudicate any defense asserted under the Confirmation Order or the Plan; provided, however, that the Bankruptcy Court retains jurisdiction as set forth in and pursuant to the terms of the Plan including jurisdiction, but not exclusive jurisdiction, to determine whether

69


 

 

liabilities asserted by any Governmental Unit are discharged or otherwise barred by the Confirmation Order, the Plan, or the Bankruptcy Code;

 

(v)

shall be interpreted to deem the Trusts the successors to the Debtors under any state or federal law successor liability doctrine with respect to any liabilities under police or regulatory statutes, laws, or regulations, except solely as set forth in Sections 5.8(g) and 5.9(f) of this Plan, or be construed as a waiver by any party of any applicable rights or defenses under non-bankruptcy law or be construed to create, for any Governmental Unit, any substantive right that does not already exist under law.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in the Plan or Plan Documents shall: (i) grant any relief to any Entity that the Bankruptcy Court is prohibited from granting by the Declaratory Judgment Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2201(a), or the Tax Anti-Injunction Act, 26 U.S.C. § 7421(a); (ii) release or discharge any claim for federal taxes against any Entity other than the Debtors, or enjoin the collection or assessment of such taxes; or (iii) grant the Debtors a release or discharge of any claims for federal taxes except as provided by 11 U.S.C. §§ 524 and 1141(d), or enjoin the collection or assessment of such taxes except as provided by those provisions.  Notwithstanding the reservation of rights in the preceding sentence, the Trusts are acquiring the Trust Assets free and clear of all Claims and Interests of creditors, including, without limitation, the IRS and including, for the avoidance of doubt, taxes of the Debtors.
