Section 2.1 Administrative Expense Claims

Except to the extent that a holder of an Allowed Administrative Expense Claim agrees to less favorable treatment, each holder of an Allowed Administrative Expense Claim that is not a Fee Claim shall receive, in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of, and in exchange for, its Allowed Administrative Expense Claim, Cash equal to the unpaid portion of such Allowed Administrative Expense Claim on the latest of: (a) the Effective Date; (b) the first Business Day after the date that is 30 days after the date on which such Administrative Expense Claim becomes an Allowed Administrative Expense Claim; (c) the date on which such Administrative Expense Claim becomes payable under any agreement with the Debtors or the applicable Post-Emergence Entities relating thereto; (d) in respect of liabilities incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of business, the date upon which such liabilities are payable in the ordinary course of business by the Debtors or the applicable Post-Emergence Entities, as applicable, consistent with the Debtors’ past practice; or (e) such other date as may be agreed upon between the holder of such Allowed Administrative Expense Claim and the Debtors or the applicable Post-Emergence Entities, as the case may be; provided, however, that, in order to receive payment of an Administrative Expense Claim, the holder thereof shall have filed and served a request for payment of such Administrative Expense Claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the Confirmation Order, and such Claim shall have become an Allowed Claim, other than with respect to a holder of: (i) an Administrative Expense Claim Allowed by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court on or before the Effective Date; or (ii) an Administrative Expense Claim that is (1) not Disputed; (2) arose in the ordinary course of business; and (3) was paid or is to be paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the particular transaction giving rise to such Administrative Expense Claim. Any request for payment of an Administrative Expense Claim pursuant to this Section 2.1 that is not timely filed and served shall be Disallowed automatically without the need for any objection from the Debtors, the Post-Emergence Entities, or the Plan Administrator.

ARTICLE III

CLASSIFICATION OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS

Section 3.1 Classification of Claims and Interests

Pursuant to section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code, set forth below is a designation of Classes of Claims and Interests. A Claim or Interest is placed in a particular Class for the purposes of voting on this Plan and receiving distributions pursuant to this Plan only to the extent that such Claim or Interest is an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest in such Class and such Claim or Interest has not been paid, released, withdrawn, or otherwise settled before the Effective Date.

 

87


Section 3.2 Grouping of Debtors for Convenience Only

Each Class of Claims or Interests will be deemed to contain sub-classes for each of the Debtors, to the extent applicable for voting and distribution purposes. To the extent there are no Allowed Claims or Interests in a Class with respect to a particular Debtor, such Class is deemed to be omitted with respect to such Debtor. Except as otherwise provided herein, to the extent a Claim may be asserted against more than one Debtor, the vote of the applicable holder of such Claim in connection with such Claim shall be counted as a vote of such Claim against each Debtor against which such Claim is asserted. The grouping of the Debtors in this manner shall not change the organizational structure of the Debtors’ business enterprise, constitute a change of control of any Debtor for any purpose, cause a merger or consolidation of any legal Entities, or cause the transfer of any Assets, and, except as otherwise provided by or permitted under this Plan, all Debtors shall continue to exist as separate legal Entities.

Section 3.3 Summary of Classification

The categories of Claims and Interests set forth below classify all Claims against and Interests in the Debtors for all purposes of this Plan. A Claim or Interest shall be deemed classified in a particular Class only to the extent such Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of that Class and shall be deemed classified in a different Class to the extent that any remainder of such Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of such different Class. The treatment with respect to each Class of Claims and Interests provided for in this Article III shall be in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of, and in exchange for, such Claims and Interests.

144


4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Person or Entity that purported to be a TPP is subsequently determined not to be a TPP, such Person or Entity shall be deemed (a) not to be a holder of a TPP Claim or a Trust Channeled Claim on account of any asserted TPP Claim and any Opioid Claim previously asserted by such Person or Entity shall not be channeled to the TPP Trust; (b) not to be eligible to receive a Distribution from the PPOC Trust or the TPP Trust in respect of Opioid Claims; and (c) not to be a Non-GUC Releasing Party or to have granted any other Release in respect of Opioid Claims contemplated by the Plan. Likewise, any Person or Entity that did not file and was not included in a TPP Claim by the General Bar Date shall be deemed (x) not to be a holder of a TPP Claim or a Trust Channeled Claim on account of any asserted TPP Claim and any Opioid Claim; (y) not to be eligible to receive a Distribution from the PPOC Trust or the TPP Trust in respect of Opioid Claims; and (z) not to be a Non-GUC Releasing Party or to have granted any other Release in respect of Opioid Claims contemplated by this Plan.

145


resolved within such 60-day period, such resolution shall be binding upon the confirmation thereof, in writing, by (A) the holder of such TPP Claim or such holder’s authorized representative; and (B) the TPP Trustee or counsel to the TPP Trustee. In the event any timely dispute with respect to a TPP Claim is not resolved within such 60-day period, the TPP Trustee’s initial determination with respect to such TPP Claim shall be final and binding; provided, that, in the event such TPP Claim is asserted in the amount of $500,000 or more, the holder of such TPP Claim may notify the TPP Trustee within 15 days of the expiration of such 60-day period that such holder wishes to have the dispute referred to mediation; provided, further, that, in the event such dispute is referred to mediation, such TPP Claim shall be considered disputed and funds on account of such TPP Claim shall be reserved pending resolution of such dispute in accordance with the TPP Trust Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 5.20(c)(vi)(3) and the TPP Trust Documents, the TPP Trust Documents shall govern.

(g) Indemnification by the PPOC Trust

The PPOC Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless the PPOC Trust Indemnified Parties, from and against and with respect to any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, and expenses (other than taxes in the nature of income taxes imposed on compensation paid to the PPOC Trust Indemnified Parties), including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, arising out of, or due to the implementation or administration of the Resolution Stipulation or the PPOC Trust Documents, other than such PPOC Trust Indemnified Party’s willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence, or fraud, with respect to the implementation or administration of the Resolution Stipulation or the PPOC Trust Documents. To the extent that a PPOC Trust Indemnified Party asserts a claim for indemnification as provided above, (i) any payment on account of such claim shall be paid solely from the PPOC Trust Operating Reserve; and (ii) the legal fees and related costs incurred by counsel to such PPOC Trust Indemnified Party in monitoring and participating in the defense of such claims giving rise to the asserted right of indemnification shall be advanced to such PPOC Trust Indemnified Party (provided, that, such PPOC Trust Indemnified Party undertakes to repay such amounts if it ultimately shall be determined that such PPOC Trust Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified therefor) solely out of the PPOC Trust

 

163


Operating Reserve or any insurance purchased using the PPOC Trust Operating Reserve. These indemnification provisions, subject to the terms of the PPOC Trust Documents, shall remain available to, and the repayment obligation shall remain binding upon, any former PPOC Trust Indemnified Party or the estate of any deceased PPOC Trust Indemnified Party, as the case may be, and shall survive the termination of the PPOC Trust.

(h) Exculpation

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the PPOC Trustee(s), the PPOC Trust Indemnified Parties, and the Delaware resident trustee appointed pursuant to the PPOC Trust Agreement shall not have or incur any liability for actions taken or omitted in his or their respective capacities as such, except with respect to those acts found by Final Order to be arising out of such Person’s willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence, or fraud and subject to Section 3806(e) of the DST Act, and shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement for reasonable fees and expenses (solely payable from the PPOC Trust Consideration) in defending any and all actions or inactions of such Persons in connection with any actions taken pursuant to this Plan, the PPOC Trust Documents, the OCC Resolution Term Sheet, or otherwise required by the foregoing, except for any actions or inactions found by Final Order to be arising out of such party’s willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence, or fraud.

(a) Resolution of U.S. Government Claims

The U.S. Government Claims shall be resolved pursuant to and in accordance with the U.S. Government Resolution Documents.

(b) [RESERVED]

(c) Agreements with DHHS Secretary

Several of the Debtors are parties to the various following agreements with the DHHS Secretary under which the Debtors owe rebates to third parties:

(i) The MCGDP Agreement is established under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1395w-114A, 1395w-153 and is required should manufacturers wish to have coverage for their products under Medicare Part D. Under the MCGDP Agreement, manufacturers agree to reimburse Medicare Part D plan sponsors for certain coverage gap discounts the plans provide to Medicare beneficiaries in the Part D coverage gap. CMS requires that a new entity that seeks to assume an MCGDP Agreement, rather than enroll as a new enrollee, must enter into a novation agreement with CMS with respect to the transfer of such agreement. The Debtors that have entered into MCGDP Agreements with the DHHS Secretary are as follows: (1) Par Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; and (2) Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc.;

 

184


(ii) The Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, established under section 1927 of the Social Security Act, requires manufacturers to enter into NDRAs with the DHHS Secretary for the coverage and payment of a manufacturer’s covered outpatient drugs. Under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, if a manufacturer has entered into and has in effect an NDRA, Medicaid covers and pays for all of the drugs of that manufacturer dispensed and paid for under the State plan, and in return, manufacturers pay applicable rebates to the States. The Debtors that have NDRAs with the DHHS Secretary are as follows: (1) Par Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; and (2) Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc.;

(iii) Certain of the Debtors also have PPAs with the DHHS Secretary. Section 340B of the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. § 256b, requires pharmaceutical manufacturers to enter into a PPA with the DHHS Secretary in exchange for having their drugs covered by Medicaid and Medicaid Part B. Under the PPAs, manufacturers agree to charge a price for covered outpatient drugs that will not exceed the average manufacturer price decreased by a rebate percentage. The Debtors that have PPAs are as follows: (1) Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; (2) Par Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; (3) Anchen Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; (4) Dava Pharmaceuticals, LLC; and (5) Par Sterile Products, LLC; and

(iv) The MCGDP Agreements, the NDRAs, and the PPAs identified above provide that, in the event of a transfer of ownership, such agreements are automatically assigned to a new owner and all terms and conditions of such agreements remain in effect as to a new owner. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan or the Confirmation Order which may be to the contrary, the Debtors shall assume such agreements pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and, should there be a change of ownership, upon the Effective Date, the MCGDP Agreements, the NDRAs, and the PPAs identified above shall be assigned to any Purchaser Entity that is taking over a Debtor’s business, subject to, in the case of the MCGDP Agreements, the applicable Debtor, CMS, and Purchaser Entity executing a novation agreement that is acceptable to CMS. The applicable Purchaser Entity, as the new owner, will assume the obligations of any Debtor that is a party under any such agreements from and after the Effective Date, and will fully perform all the duties and responsibilities that exist under such agreements in accordance with their terms, including the payment of discounts owed to Part D plan sponsors or payment of rebates owed to States and wholesalers for quarters prior to the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the applicable Purchaser Entity shall be liable for any outstanding rebates or discounts owed to third parties (and any applicable interest thereon), whether arising after or up to and including the Effective Date, as well as any penalties associated with noncompliance by any Debtor associated with any MCGDP Agreements, NDRAs, and PPAs identified above for which the applicable Purchaser Entity is accepting assignment, whether arising after or up to and including the Effective Date.

 

185


(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Plan, the Confirmation Order, the U.S. Government Resolution Documents, or any other Plan Document shall bind the U.S. Government in any application of statutory, or associated regulatory, authority grounded in the Medicaid Program or in section 1115 of Title 11 of the Social Security Act. The U.S. Government is neither enjoined nor in any way prejudiced in seeking recovery of any funds owed to the U.S. Government under the Medicaid Program.

Section 6.20 Opioid School District Recovery Trust

(a) Tax Matters

The Debtors and the Public School District Creditors intend that the Opioid School District Recovery Trust Consideration will constitute “restitution . . . for damage or harm” within the meaning of Section 162(f) of the Tax Code, and will be so characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent such payments are made to or at the direction of a Governmental Authority, and such payments are hereby, based on the origin of the liability and the nature and purpose of such payments, so identified in accordance with Section 162(f)(2)(A)(ii) of the Tax Code. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence is intended to apply to the tax characterization of the Opioid School District Recovery Trust Consideration, and such tax characterization shall not be construed to be dispositive for any non-tax purpose.

ARTICLE VII

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

Section 7.1 Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, in the PSA, or in any contract, instrument, release, indenture, or other agreement or document entered into in connection with this Plan, as of and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases to which any of the Debtors are parties shall be deemed assumed or assumed and assigned, as applicable, unless such contract or lease (i) was previously assumed or rejected by the Debtors pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court; (ii) had previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms or by agreement of the parties thereto; (iii) is the subject of a motion to assume filed by the Debtors on or before the Confirmation Date; or (iv) is identified for rejection on the Rejection Schedule. On the Effective Date, all such Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that are assumed pursuant to this Section 7.1(a) shall be assumed or assumed and assigned in accordance with the following clauses (i) through (vi):

 

  (i)

All assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that are held by a Debtor entity incorporated in the United States shall be assigned to Endo USA, Inc.;

 

  (ii)

All assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that are held by a Debtor entity incorporated in Canada shall be assigned to Paladin Pharma, Inc.;

 

186


  (iii)

All assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that are held by the Debtor entity Endo Ventures Unlimited shall be assigned to Endo Operations Limited;

 

  (iv)

All assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that are held by the Debtor entity Endo Global Biologics Unlimited shall be assigned to Endo Biologics Limited;

 

  (v)

All assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that are held by any of the Debtor entities Endo U.S. Holdings Luxembourg I S.a.r.l., Endo Operations Limited, or Endo Biologics Limited shall not be assigned;

 

  (vi)

Any assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that are held by a Debtor entity that is not covered by any of the foregoing clauses (i) through (v) shall be assigned on an ad hoc basis to the most appropriate Purchaser Entity or, where applicable, to the Purchaser Entity listed as the assignee in the last mailed notice of assumption or supplemental notice of assumption or assignment.

(b) Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval by the Bankruptcy Court of the assumptions and/or rejections of such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases as set forth in this Plan, all pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, and the Confirmation Order shall include a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that the Purchaser Entities have provided adequate assurance of future performance with respect to any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed or assumed and assigned, as applicable, under this Plan. Unless otherwise indicated, all assumptions or rejections of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to this Plan are effective as of the Effective Date. Each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed or assumed and assigned, as applicable, pursuant to this Plan or by Bankruptcy Court order shall revest in or be transferred to, as applicable, and be fully enforceable by the applicable Purchaser Entities in accordance with its terms, except as such terms may have been modified herein or by such order. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the Debtors or the Post-Emergence Entities, as applicable, reserve the right to alter, amend, modify, or supplement the Rejection Schedule at any time before the Effective Date. After the Effective Date, none of the Post-Emergence Entities (nor the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Remaining Debtors) shall require the approval of the Bankruptcy Court before terminating, amending, or modifying any contracts, leases, or other agreements.

(c) Except as expressly set forth herein and in the PSA, all assumed or assumed and assigned, as applicable, Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases shall remain in full force and effect for the benefit of the Purchaser Entities, and shall be enforceable by the Purchaser Entities in accordance with their terms, notwithstanding any provision in such assumed or assumed and assigned, as applicable, Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that prohibits, restricts, or conditions such assumption or assumption and assignment. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed or assumed and assigned, as applicable, under this Plan or the PSA that purports to declare a breach or default based in whole or in part on commencement or continuance of these Chapter 11 Cases or any

 

187


successor cases is hereby deemed unenforceable. To the extent any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed or assumed and assigned, as applicable, pursuant to this Plan or the PSA (including, without limitation, any “change of control” provision) that restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, the Purchaser Entities’ assumption of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, then such provision will be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by this Plan and the PSA will not entitle the non-Debtor party thereto to terminate such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to exercise any default-related rights with respect thereto.

Section 7.2 Rejection Damages Claims

(a) In the event that the Debtors’ rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease hereunder results in damages to a counterparty to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, unless such counterparty files a Proof of Claim for any Rejection Damages Claims with the Bankruptcy Court and serves such Proof of Claim upon counsel for the Debtors, the Post-Emergence Entities (including the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Remaining Debtors), and the GUC Trustee, as applicable, by the date that is, as applicable, (i) 45 days after the filing and service of the notice of the occurrence of the Effective Date; or (ii) if such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is subject to a pending motion seeking to reject such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, 30 days after the date the Bankruptcy Court enters a Final Order approving such rejection, such Rejection Damages Claims shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors, their respective Estates, the Post-Emergence Entities, or the GUC Trust, as applicable, or any of their respective properties or interests in property as agent, successor, or assign, in each case, without the need for any objection by the Debtors or the applicable Post-Emergence Entities or for any further notice to, or action, order, or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court.

(b) All Allowed Rejection Damages Claims shall constitute Other General Unsecured Claims and shall be treated in accordance with Section 4.5 of this Plan; provided, however, that, any Claim or portion thereof arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease with a counterparty that is a Settling Co-Defendant or that otherwise satisfies the definition of a Settling Co-Defendant Claim shall be treated as a Settling Co-Defendant Claim and shall be governed by and treated in accordance with the terms of the DMP Stipulation, notwithstanding that such Claim (or portion thereof) would otherwise satisfy the definition of a Rejection Damages Claim; provided, further, that, any Claim or portion thereof arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that satisfies the definition of a Subordinated, Recharacterized, or Disallowed Claim shall be treated as a Subordinated, Recharacterized, or Disallowed Claim, notwithstanding that such Claim (or portion thereof) would otherwise satisfy the definition of a Rejection Damages Claim, and such Claim shall be treated as a Subordinated, Recharacterized, or Disallowed Claim in accordance with Section 4.26 of this Plan.

Section 7.3 Determination of Assumption and Assignment Disputes and Deemed Consent to Assumption

(a) Pursuant to the Assumption and Assignment Procedures, the Debtors served the Cure Notice to all counterparties to any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, which Cure Notice (i) notified the applicable counterparties to such Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases of the proposed assumption; (ii) provided the applicable Cure Amounts, if any; (iii) described the proposed amendment of certain Executory Contracts and releases of certain Causes of Action and other rights of recovery; (iv) described the procedures for filing objections to the proposed assumption or assumption and assignment of such Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; (v) described the procedures for filing objections to the proposed Cure Amounts with respect to such Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; and (vi) explained the process by which related disputes will be resolved by the Bankruptcy Court. If no Cure Objection was timely received by the Cure Objection Deadline, (1) the non-Debtor counterparty to the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed or assumed and assigned, as applicable, under this Plan shall be deemed to have consented to the assumption or assumption and assignment, as applicable, of the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, including any amendments to such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases for the release of certain Causes of Action and other rights of recovery in accordance with the Assumption and Assignment Procedures, and shall be forever barred from asserting any objection with regard to such assumption or assumption and assignment; and (2)(A) the Cure Notice and the Assumption and Assignment Procedures shall be controlling, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or other document; and (B) the non-Debtor counterparty to an applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed to have consented to the prepetition Cure Amount and shall be forever barred from asserting, collecting, or seeking to collect any additional amounts relating to prepetition arrearages against the Debtors or the Post-Emergence Entities, or any of their property. For the avoidance of doubt, the assumption of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall not preclude the counterparty to such assumed, or assumed and assigned, Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease from seeking an Administrative Expense Claim for postpetition arrearages. The provisions of this Article VII are subject to the DMP Stipulation and the DMP Stipulation Order.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, the PSA, or the DMP Stipulation, any monetary amounts by which any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed or assumed and assigned, as applicable, under this Plan or the PSA is in default shall be satisfied, under section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the applicable Cure Amounts. Except as otherwise set forth herein or in the PSA, the Cure Amounts with respect to each of the Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases assumed or assumed and assigned, as applicable, under this Plan and pursuant to the PSA is designated by the Debtors as (i) set forth on the Cure Notice; or (ii) with respect to any Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases for which no Cure Amount is included in the Cure Notice or the Cure Notice otherwise indicates there is no Cure Amount therefore, $0.00, subject to the determination of a different Cure Amount pursuant to the Assumption and Assignment Procedures, this Plan, the PSA, in any applicable Cure Notices, and, with respect to any contract to which the non-Debtor counterparty is a Settling Co-Defendant, the terms of the DMP Stipulation. Except with respect to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases for which the Cure Amount is $0.00, payment of the Cure Amount shall be satisfied by the Purchaser Entities or their assignee, if any, by payment of such Cure Amount in Cash within 30 days following the occurrence of the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, or on such other terms as may be ordered by the Bankruptcy Court or agreed upon by the parties to the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease without any further notice to or action,

Such affected counterparties shall have until the date that is seven days after the date of filing and service of such notice of designation to object to the rejection.

(a) None of the exclusion nor inclusion of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease on the Rejection Schedule, the assumption or assumption and assignment of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, nor anything contained in this Plan shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Debtor or Post-Emergence Entity has any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, as applicable, at the time of assumption or rejection, the Debtors or Purchaser Entities, as applicable, shall have 45 days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.

(b) Except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Plan, nothing in this Plan shall waive, excuse, limit, diminish, or otherwise alter any of the defenses, Claims, counter-claims, Causes of Action, or any other rights of the Debtors or the Post-Emergence Entities, as applicable, under any contract or lease, whether or not such contract or lease is an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.

(c) Except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Plan, nothing in this Plan shall increase, augment, or add to any of the duties, obligations, responsibilities, or liabilities of the Debtors or the Post-Emergence Entities under any contract or lease, whether or not such contract or lease is an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.

Section 7.9 Contracts and Leases Entered Into After the Petition Date

Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor, including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed or assumed and assigned, as applicable, by such Debtor, will be performed by such Debtor, the applicable Purchaser Entity, or an assignee of the foregoing, as applicable, in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, such contracts and leases (including any assumed or assumed and assigned, as applicable, Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases) will survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order.

Section 7.10 Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements, or Other Agreements

Unless otherwise provided in this Plan, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed or assumed and assigned, as applicable, shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease and any other documents or agreements related thereto, if any, including easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated under this Plan. Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by any of the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, Distributions to holders of Allowed Claims shall be made to holders of record as of the Distribution Record Date by the applicable Disbursing Agent: (i) to the signatory set forth on any Proof of Claim filed by such holder or other representative identified therein (or at the last known address(es) of such holder if no Proof of Claim is filed or if the Debtors have not been notified in writing of a change of address); (ii) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Debtors or the applicable Disbursing Agent after the date of any related Proof of Claim was filed; (iii) at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if no Proof of Claim has been filed and the applicable Disbursing Agent has not received a written notice of a change of address; (iv) on any counsel that has appeared in the Chapter 11 Cases on the holder’s behalf; (v) at the addresses reflected in the Debtors’ books and records; or (vi) as set forth in the applicable Trust Documents (provided, that, nothing in the Trust Documents shall impose any additional obligations on the Debtors or the Post-Emergence Entities with respect to obtaining or providing the addresses or similar information, or otherwise making or facilitating Distributions, with respect to holders of Trust Channeled Claims except, with respect to the Purchaser Entities, as set forth in Section 6.2(h) of this Plan); provided, that, any Allowed Administrative Expense Claims with respect to liabilities incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of business during the Chapter 11 Cases, or assumed by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date, shall be paid or performed in the ordinary course of business by the applicable Post-Emergence Entity.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, Distributions to holders of Allowed Notes Claims shall be made to or at the direction of the applicable Indenture Trustee as Disbursing Agent (to the extent such Indenture Trustee is a Disbursing Agent) in accordance with this Plan and the applicable debt documents, except, with respect to Distributions to holders of Allowed Second Lien Deficiency Claims and Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims, as set forth in the GUC Trust Documents. The Indenture Trustees shall not incur any liability whatsoever on account of any Distributions under this Plan except for gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(i) All Distributions to be made to holders of Allowed First Lien Notes Claims shall be distributed through the facilities of DTC (whether by means of book-entry exchange, free delivery, or otherwise), and the First Lien Notes Indenture Trustee will be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes under this Plan with the holders of First Lien

 

194


Notes to the extent consistent with the customary practices of DTC to the extent the Distributions are “DTC-eligible,” and as provided for under the Indentures. Distributions to holders of Allowed First Lien Notes Claims that are not “DTC-eligible” shall be made by, or at the direction of, the First Lien Notes Indenture Trustee.

(ii) Distributions to be made to holders of Allowed Second Lien Deficiency Claims and Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims may be made through the facilities of DTC, and the Second Lien Notes Indenture Trustee and the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustees may transfer or direct the transfer of such Distributions directly through the facilities of DTC (whether by means of book-entry exchange, free delivery, or otherwise), and will be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes under this Plan and the GUC Trust Documents with the holders of Second Lien Notes and Unsecured Notes, as applicable, to the extent consistent with the customary practices of DTC and the terms of the GUC Trust Documents. Such Distributions shall be subject in all respects to the rights of the Second Lien Notes Indenture Trustee and the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustees to assert the applicable Indenture Trustee Charging Lien.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan or otherwise to the contrary, Distributions to holders of Trust Channeled Claims that are not Notes Claims shall be governed by, and made in accordance with, the applicable Trust Documents.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, Distributions to holders of Allowed First Lien Credit Agreement Claims shall be made to or at the direction of the First Lien Agent. The First Lien Agent (i) shall be deemed a “Disbursing Agent” for purposes of making Distributions to holders of Allowed First Lien Credit Agreement Claims in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable debt documents; (ii) may transfer or direct the transfer of such Distributions directly in accordance with customary and/or past practice (including with respect to any disbursements made during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to the Cash Collateral Order); and (iii) will be entitled to recognize and deal with, for all purposes under this Plan, holders of First Lien Claims, to the extent consistent with the customary and/or past practices; provided, that, the First Lien Agent shall not incur any liability whatsoever on account of any Distributions under this Plan except for those acts or omissions of the First Lien Agent arising out of the First Lien Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(f) Except with respect to any Indenture Trustee Charging Lien, Distributions under this Plan on account of Allowed Claims shall not be subject to levy, garnishment, attachment, or like legal process, so that each holder of an Allowed Claim shall have and receive the benefit of the Distributions in the manner set forth in this Plan. None of the Debtors, the Post-Emergence Entities, nor the applicable Disbursing Agent shall incur any liability whatsoever on account of any Distributions under this Plan except for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or intentional fraud.

 

195


Section 8.2 Distribution Record Date

On the applicable Distribution Record Date, the various transfer registers for each of the Classes of Claims or Interests as maintained by the Debtors or their respective agents shall be deemed closed, and there shall be no further changes made to reflect any new record holders of any Claims or Interests and the Debtors shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of Claims or Interests occurring on or after such Distribution Record Date; provided, however, that, this Section 8.2 shall not apply with respect to any Trust Channeled Claims that are not Notes Claims, the holders of which shall receive Distributions in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Trust Documents. In addition, with respect to payment of any Cure Amounts or assumption disputes, the Debtors, the Post-Emergence Entities, and the Disbursing Agent shall not have any obligation to recognize or deal with any party other than the non-Debtor party to the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease as of the close of business on the applicable Distribution Record Date, even if such non-Debtor party has sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred its Claim for a Cure Amount.

Section 8.3 Date of Distributions

Except (a) with respect to Trust Channeled Claims; and (b) as otherwise provided in this Plan, on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (or if a Claim is not an Allowed Claim on the Effective Date, on the date that such a Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, on the next Distribution Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter), each holder of an Allowed Claim shall receive the full amount of the Distributions that this Plan provides for Allowed Claims in the applicable Class and in the manner provided herein. In the event that any payment or act under this Plan is required to be made or performed on a date that is not a Business Day, then the making of such payment or the performance of such act may be completed on the next succeeding Business Day, but shall be deemed to have been completed as of the required date. If and to the extent that there are Disputed Claims, Distributions on account of any such Disputed Claims shall be made pursuant to the provisions set forth in Article VIII hereof. Except as otherwise provided herein, holders of Claims shall not be entitled to interest, dividends, or accruals on the Distributions provided for herein, regardless of whether such Distributions are delivered on or at any time after the Effective Date.

Section 8.4 Fractional Shares and Cash Distributions

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Debtors, the Post-Emergence Entities and/or any Disbursing Agent shall not be required to make Distributions of fractional shares of Purchaser Equity (and no Cash shall be distributed in lieu of such fractional amounts) or Distributions or payments of fractions of dollars. When any Distribution that would otherwise result in the issuance of Purchaser Equity under this Plan, including pursuant to the terms of the Rights Offerings, that is not a whole number, the Purchaser Equity subject to such Distribution shall be rounded to the next higher or lower whole number as follows: (a) fractions equal to or greater than one-half shall be rounded to the next higher whole number; and (b) fractions less than one-half shall be rounded to the next lower whole number. The total number of authorized shares of Purchaser Equity to be distributed to holders of Allowed Claims shall be adjusted as necessary to account for the foregoing rounding. For Distribution purposes (including rounding), DTC will be treated as a single holder. Whenever any payment of Cash of a fraction of a dollar pursuant to this Plan would otherwise be required, the actual payment shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar (up or down), with half dollars or less being rounded down. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8.4 shall not apply with respect to Distributions on account of Trust Channeled Claims, which shall be governed by the terms of the applicable Trust Documents.

 

196


Section 8.5 Disbursing Agent

Except as otherwise provided herein, all Distributions under this Plan to be made on the Effective Date shall be made by (a) the Debtors, the applicable Post-Emergence Entities, or the Plan Administrator, as applicable, as Disbursing Agent; or (b) such other Person designated by the Debtors or the Post-Emergence Entities, as applicable, as Disbursing Agent; provided, that, notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, Distributions to (i) holders of First Lien Credit Agreement Claims shall be made to or at the direction of the First Lien Agent; and (ii) holders of First Lien Notes Claims shall be made to or at the direction of the First Lien Notes Indenture Trustee. As set forth herein, to the extent any Indenture Trustee makes any Distribution under this Plan, including with respect to holders of Second Lien Deficiency Claims and Unsecured Notes Claims, such Indenture Trustee shall be deemed a Disbursing Agent for purposes of this Plan in accordance with the Plan and the applicable Indentures subject, in each case, to the rights of the applicable Indenture Trustees to exercise the applicable Indenture Trustee Charging Lien (if applicable). The Disbursing Agent (including the First Lien Agent and any of the Indenture Trustees acting in such capacity) shall not be required to give a bond or other security in connection with the performance of any obligations under this Plan.

Section 8.6 Rights and Powers of the Disbursing Agent

Each Disbursing Agent shall be empowered to (a) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments, and other documents necessary to perform its duties hereunder; (b) make all Distributions contemplated hereby; (c) employ professionals to represent it with respect to any responsibilities arising hereunder with respect to making Distributions; and (d) exercise such other powers (i) as may be vested in the applicable Disbursing Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court (including any Final Order issued after the Effective Date), pursuant to this Plan; or (ii) as deemed by the applicable Disbursing Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions hereof.

Section 8.7 Expenses of Disbursing Agent

Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, and subject to the written agreement of Purchaser Parent (to the extent the Purchaser Entities are not the applicable Disbursing Agent), any reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent acting in such capacity (including reasonable documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) on or after the Effective Date (including the First Lien Agent and any Indenture Trustee acting in such capacity) shall be paid in Cash by the Purchaser Entities. This Section 8.7 shall not apply to post-Effective Date expenses of any Trustee or any Person(s) retained by such Trustees, which shall be governed by the applicable Trust Documents.

 

197


Section 8.8 Distributions on Account of Claims Allowed After the Effective Date

(a) Payments and Distributions on Disputed Claims

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.

(b) Special Rules for Distributions to Holders of Disputed Claims

Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in this Plan and except as may be agreed to by the Debtors or the applicable Post-Emergence Entities (as applicable), on the one hand, and the holder of a Disputed Claim, on the other hand, no partial payments and no partial Distributions shall be made with respect to any Disputed Claim until all Disputed Claims held by the holder of such Disputed Claim have become Allowed Claims or have otherwise been resolved by settlement, stipulation, or Final Order. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8.8 shall not apply with respect to Trust Channeled Claims, and any disputes with respect to any Trust Channeled Claims shall be governed by the applicable Trust Documents.

Section 8.9 Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions

(a) In the event that any Distribution to any holder is returned as undeliverable or unclaimed and remains payable, no Distribution to such holder shall be made unless and until such holder entitled thereto accepts such Distribution, at which time such Distribution shall be made as soon as practicable after such Distribution has become deliverable to or has been claimed by such holder without interest; provided, however, that, such Distributions shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and forfeited at the expiration of six months from the applicable Distribution Date. After such date, all “unclaimed property” or interests in property shall revert to the Purchaser Entities (notwithstanding any applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned or unclaimed property laws to the contrary), and the Claim of any holder to such property shall be discharged and forever barred. The Post-Emergence Entities and the Disbursing Agent (if other than the Purchaser Entities) shall have no obligation to attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed Claim other than by reviewing the Debtors’ books and records and the Bankruptcy Court’s filings.

(b) A Distribution shall be deemed unclaimed if a holder has not: (i) accepted a particular Distribution or, in the case of Distributions made by check, negotiated such check; (ii) given notice to the Purchaser Entities of an intent to accept a particular Distribution; (iii) responded to requests made by the Debtors or the Purchaser Entities, as applicable, for information necessary to facilitate a particular Distribution (including, but not limited to, the provision of the appropriate tax form (Form W-9 or, if applicable, Form W-8)) within the time periods specified herein; or (iv) taken any other action necessary to facilitate such Distribution.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8.9 shall not apply with respect to any Distribution on account of a Trust Channeled Claim, and the treatment of any unclaimed Distributions on account of Trust Channeled Claims shall be governed by the applicable Trust Documents.

 

198


Section 8.10 Withholding and Reporting Requirements

In connection with this Plan and all instruments issued in connection therewith, any Person issuing any instrument or making any Distribution or payment in connection therewith shall comply with all applicable withholding, remittance, and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local, or foreign taxing authority, and all Distributions under this Plan shall be subject to any such withholding or reporting requirements.

Section 8.11 Setoffs

Except as set forth herein, and except with respect to Distributions to the Trusts, the Debtors and the Post-Emergence Entities may set off from the Distributions called for under this Plan on account of any Allowed Claim, an amount equal to any Claims, rights, and Causes of Action of any nature that the Debtors or the Post-Emergence Entities may hold against the holder of any such Allowed Claim. Neither the failure to effect such a setoff nor the Allowance of any Claim under this Plan shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors or the Post-Emergence Entities of any such Claims, rights, or Causes of Action that the Debtors or the Post-Emergence Entities may possess against any such holder, except as specifically provided herein. In no event shall any holder of Claims be entitled to set off any Claim against any Claim, right, or Cause of Action of the Debtors or the Post-Emergence Entities, as applicable, unless such holder has filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court requesting the authority to perform such setoff on or before the Confirmation Date, and notwithstanding any indication in any Proof of Claim or otherwise that such holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of setoff pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) this Section 8.11 shall not apply with respect to any Distribution from a Trust on account of any Trust Channeled Claim, which shall be governed by the applicable Trust Documents; and (b) nothing herein shall impact the Settling Co-Defendants’ Defensive Rights pursuant to the DMP Stipulation (including section 6 thereof) and the DMP Order.

Section 8.12 Recoupment

In no event shall any holder of a Claim or Interest be entitled to recoup any Claim or Interest against any Claim, right, or Cause of Action of the Debtors or the Post-Emergence Entities (including any Claim, right, or Cause of Action assigned to the GUC Trust), as applicable, unless such holder has actually performed such recoupment and provided notice thereof in writing to the Debtors on or before the Effective Date, notwithstanding any indication in any Proof of Claim asserting such Claim or Interest or otherwise that such holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of recoupment.

 

199


Section 8.13 Reimbursement or Contribution

If a Claim for reimbursement or contribution of an Entity is Disallowed by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to section 502(e)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, then to the extent that such Claim is contingent as of the Effective Date, such Claim shall be forever Disallowed, notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless, prior to the Effective Date (a) such Claim has been adjudicated as noncontingent; or (b)(i) the relevant holder of such Claim has filed a noncontingent Proof of Claim on account of such Claim; and (ii) the Bankruptcy Court has entered a Final Order determining such Claim as no longer contingent.

Section 8.14 Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties

(a) Claims Paid by Third Parties

Other than Distributions to the Trusts as otherwise set forth herein, the Debtors or the applicable Post-Emergence Entities, as applicable, shall reduce in part or in full a Claim to the extent that the holder of such Claim receives payment in part or in full on account of such Claim from a party other than the Debtors or Purchaser Entities. To the extent a holder of a Claim receives a distribution on account of such Claim from a party other than the Debtors or the Purchaser Entities, such holder shall, within two weeks of receipt thereof, repay or return the amount of such Distribution to the applicable Purchaser Entity, to the extent the holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under this Plan exceeds the amount of such Claim as of the date of any such Distribution under this Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8.14(a) shall not apply with respect to Distributions made to the Trusts.

(b) Insurance Claims

Solely with respect to Non-GUC Trust Insurance Policies, to the extent that one or more of the Debtors’ insurers satisfies in full or in part a Claim, immediately upon such insurers’ satisfaction thereof, such Claim may be expunged or reduced, as appropriate, without an objection to the Claim having to be filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

(c) Applicability of Insurance Policies

Solely with respect to Non-GUC Trust Insurance Policies, to the extent that one or more of the Debtors’ insurers agrees to satisfy in full or in part a Claim, except as otherwise provided in this Plan, Distributions to holders of such Allowed Claims shall be made in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Non-GUC Trust Insurance Policy; provided, however, that, no such Distribution shall affect the GUC Trust Insurance Rights or the rights provided to the GUC Trust in connection with the GUC Trust Litigation Consideration. Except as provided in Article X of this Plan, nothing contained in this Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Cause of Action that the Debtors or any Person may hold against any other Person, including insurers under any policies of insurance, nor shall anything contained herein constitute or be deemed a waiver by such insurers of any defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such insurers. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8.14 shall not apply to GUC Trust Insurance Policies, GUC Trust D&O Insurance Policies, or Trust Channeled Claims.

 

200


Section 8.15 Allocations of Distributions Between Principal and Unpaid Interest

Except as otherwise required by law, distributions with respect to an Allowed Claim shall be allocated first to the principal portion of such Allowed Claim (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes) and, thereafter, to the remaining portion of such Allowed Claim, if any.

Section 8.16 No Postpetition Interest on Claims

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in this Plan, the PSA, the Cash Collateral Order, the Confirmation Order, or any other Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, or required by applicable bankruptcy law (including, without limitation, as required pursuant to sections 506(b) and 511 of the Bankruptcy Code), (a) postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims; and (b) no holder of any Claim or Interest shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date with respect to any Claim.

Section 8.17 Means of Cash Payment

Payments of Cash made pursuant to this Plan and the PSA shall (a) be in United States dollars; and (b) be made, at the option of the Disbursing Agent, by checks drawn on or wire transfers from an account at a domestic bank selected by the applicable Disbursing Agent. Cash payments with respect to non-U.S. Persons may be made in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in the applicable non-U.S. jurisdiction, in each case, at the option of the applicable Disbursing Agent.

Section 8.18 No Distribution in Excess of Amount of Allowed Claim

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, no holder of an Allowed Claim shall receive any Distribution on account of such Allowed Claim (including amounts received by such holder from other sources) in an amount excess of the Allowed amount of such Claim.

ARTICLE IX

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CONTINGENT, UNLIQUIDATED, AND DISPUTED CLAIMS

Section 9.1 Objections to Claims

From and after the Effective Date, the Post-Emergence Entities (and the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Remaining Debtors) shall have the exclusive authority to file, settle, compromise, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any objections to any Administrative Expense Claims, Non-IRS Priority Tax Claims, and Priority Non-Tax Claims as permitted under this Plan, and the applicable Post-Emergence Entities (or the Plan Administrator on behalf of the applicable Remaining Debtors) may settle or compromise any Disputed Administrative Expense Claim, Disputed Non-IRS Priority Tax Claim, or Disputed Priority Non Tax Claim without approval of

 

201


the Bankruptcy Court. The Trustees, on behalf of their respective Trusts, shall have the exclusive authority to file, settle, compromise, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any objections to any of their respective Trust Channeled Claims as permitted under this Plan and the applicable Trust Documents, and the Trustees may settle or compromise any of their respective Trust Channeled Claims that are Disputed without approval of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable Trust Documents. On and after the Effective Date, each of the Debtors, the Post-Emergence Entities, and the Trusts, as applicable, shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses with respect to any Claim immediately before the Effective Date, except with respect to any Claim that is Allowed. Any objection to Claims shall be served and filed on or before the Claims Objection Deadline, as such deadline may be extended from time to time.

Section 9.2 Allowance 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), no Claim shall be an Allowed Claim unless and until such Claim is deemed Allowed pursuant to this Plan, the Trust Documents (as applicable), or a Final Order, including the Confirmation Order (when it becomes a Final Order), Allowing such Claim.

Section 9.3 Distributions After Allowance

On the Distribution Date following the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court Allowing any Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order, the applicable Disbursing Agent shall provide to the holder of such Allowed Claim the Distribution (if any) to which such holder is entitled under this Plan as of the Effective Date, without any interest to be paid on account of such Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not apply with respect to Trust Channeled Claims and any disputes with respect to any such Trust Channeled Claims, and the timing of any Distributions by any Trust on account of Allowed Trust Channeled Claims, shall be determined pursuant to the applicable Trust Documents.

Section 9.4 Estimation of Claims

The Debtors, the Post-Emergence Entities, and the Plan Administrator (on behalf of the Remaining Debtors), as applicable, may (a) determine, resolve, and otherwise adjudicate all contingent, unliquidated, and Disputed Claims in the Bankruptcy Court; and (b) at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any contingent, unliquidated, or Disputed Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code regardless of whether the Debtors previously objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection. The Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim, including, without limitation, during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent, unliquidated, or Disputed Claim, the amount so estimated shall constitute either the Allowed amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on such Claim against any party or Person, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court. If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on the amount of such Claim, the Debtors, the Post-Emergence Entities, or the Plan Administrator (on behalf of the Remaining Debtors) as applicable, may elect to pursue any supplemental

 

202


proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such Claim. All of the objection, estimation, settlement, and resolution procedures set forth in this Plan are cumulative and not necessarily exclusive of one another. Claims may be estimated and subsequently compromised, objected to, settled, withdrawn, or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, in no event shall any holder of a Claim that has been estimated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise be entitled to seek reconsideration of such estimation unless such holder has filed a motion requesting the right to seek such reconsideration on or before 21 days after the date on which such Claim is estimated. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.4 shall not apply with respect to Trust Channeled Claims, which may be estimated and Allowed in the applicable amounts pursuant to the applicable Trust Documents and shall not be subject to estimation by the Debtors or the Post-Emergence Entities.

Section 9.5 Amendments to Claims

On or after the Confirmation Date, except as provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, a Claim may not be filed or amended without the prior authorization of the Bankruptcy Court and the applicable Post-Emergence Entities, the Plan Administrator (on behalf of the applicable Remaining Debtors), or the Trustees, as applicable.

Section 9.6 Deadline to File Objections to Claims

Objections to Claims, if any, shall be filed no later than the Claims Objection Deadline; provided, however, that, Trust Channeled Claims shall be Allowed or Disallowed in accordance with the applicable Trust Documents.

Section 9.7 Dispute and Disallowance of Certain Co-Defendant Claims

All Co-Defendant Claims that are not (a) Settling Co-Defendant Claims; or (b) Other General Unsecured Claims shall be deemed Disallowed pursuant to section 502(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent that any Co-Defendant Claim that is not a Settling Co-Defendant Claim is subsequently Allowed pursuant to section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, such Allowed Co-Defendant Claim shall be subordinated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code and treated hereunder as a Subordinated, Recharacterized, or Disallowed Claim notwithstanding whether or not such Allowed Co-Defendant Claim would otherwise meet the definition of another type of Claim hereunder.

Pursuant to sections 363 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided pursuant to this Plan, the provisions of this Plan shall constitute a good faith compromise of (a) all Released Claims; and (b) all Claims, Interests, and controversies relating to the contractual, legal, and subordination rights that a holder of a Claim or Interest may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or Interest, or any Distribution to be made on account of such Allowed Claim or Interest. The entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the compromise or settlement of all such Claims, Interests, and controversies, as well as a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that such compromise or settlement is in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, and holders of Claims and Interests, and is fair, equitable, and reasonable. In accordance with the provisions of this Plan, pursuant to sections 363 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, after the Effective Date, the Post-Emergence Entities may compromise and settle Claims against them and Causes of Action against other Persons.

(b) Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, of the Debtor Releases and, further, shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s finding that the Debtor Releases are: (i) in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Debtor Released Parties, including, without limitation, the Debtor Released Parties’ contributions to facilitating the Debtors’ restructuring and the implementation of this Plan; (ii) a good faith settlement and compromise of the Released Claims; (iii) in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, and all holders of Claims and Interests; (iv) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (v) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (vi) a bar to any of the Debtors, their Estates, or the Post-Emergence Entities asserting any Released Claim.

(c) In addition to the foregoing Debtor Releases, the Debtors shall release the applicable Claims against the Settling Co-Defendants set forth in, and in accordance with the terms of, the mutual releases by the Debtors, their Estates, and the Post-Emergence Entities, on the one hand, and the Settling Co-Defendants, on the other hand, in each case, as set forth in the DMP Stipulation. For the avoidance of doubt, any Releases with respect to Settling Co-Defendants shall be subject to the terms of the DMP Stipulation.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt and without limitation of the foregoing, each holder of a State Opioid Claim and each holder of a Tribal Opioid Claim that (i) is a governmental unit (as defined in section 101(27) of the Bankruptcy Code) or a Tribe; and (ii) grants or is deemed to grant, as applicable, the Non-GUC Releases shall, in each case, be deemed to have released all Released Claims that have been asserted or are, or have been, assertible by (1) such governmental unit (as defined in section 101(27) of the Bankruptcy Code) or Tribe in its own right, in its parens patriae or sovereign enforcement capacity, or on behalf, or in the name, of another Person; or (2) any other governmental official, employee, agent, or Representative acting or purporting to act in a parens patriae, sovereign enforcement, or quasi-sovereign enforcement capacity, or any other capacity, on behalf of such governmental unit (as defined in section 101(27) of the Bankruptcy Code) or Tribe.

(d) Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, of the Non-GUC Releases and, further, shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s finding that the Non-GUC Releases are: (i) essential to the Confirmation of this Plan; (ii) consensually given in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Non-GUC Released Parties, including, without limitation, the Non-GUC Released Parties’ contributions to facilitating the restructuring and implementation of this Plan and the Plan Transaction; (iii) a good faith settlement and compromise of the Released Claims; (iv) in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates; (v) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (vi) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (vii) a bar to any of the Non-GUC Releasing Parties asserting any Released Claim.

Section 10.4 GUC Releases

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, pursuant to section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, for good and valuable consideration, on and after the Effective Date, the GUC Releasing Parties are deemed to have conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever released and discharged each GUC Released Party from any and all Released Claims. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the GUC Releases do not release any (1) post-Effective Date obligations of any Person or Entity under this Plan, any Plan Document, the Plan Transaction, any Restructuring Transaction, or any document, instrument, or agreement executed to implement this Plan and the Plan Transaction, and shall not result in a release, waiver, or discharge of any Indemnification Obligations assumed by the Purchaser Entities as set forth in this Plan; (2) GUC Trust Litigation Claim; or (3) Person or Entity from a claim for intentional fraud or willful misconduct as determined by a Final Order; (ii) none of the GUC Releasing Parties release or shall be deemed to release any GUC Trust Litigation Claim (and such Claims and Causes of Action are preserved, in each case, subject to the Covenant Not To Collect); and (iii) the Covenant Not To Collect shall be binding on any transferee, successor, or assign in connection with any transfer, pledge, sale, hypothecation, assignment, or other disposal of Claims solely against the Excluded D&O Parties, and the failure of any recipient of any Claims solely against any Excluded D&O Party to agree to such covenant shall render any such transfer, pledge, sale, hypothecation, assignment, or other disposal of Claims void ab initio. The Excluded D&O Parties are third-party beneficiaries with rights of enforcement with respect to the Covenant Not To Collect. For the avoidance of doubt, no GUC Releasing Party shall release or be deemed to release any GUC Trust Litigation Claims.

 

206


(b) Upon granting or being deemed to grant, as applicable, the GUC Releases, the GUC Releasing Parties shall be deemed to covenant (the “Covenant Not To Collect”) that (i) any recovery by the GUC Trust or any other GUC Releasing Party on account of any Claim or Cause of Action, direct or indirect, against an Excluded D&O Party including, in each case, by way of settlement or judgment, shall be satisfied solely by and to the extent of the proceeds of the GUC Trust D&O Insurance Policies; (ii) any party, including any GUC Trustee or Trustee of a Distribution Sub-Trust and all other GUC Releasing Parties, seeking to execute, garnish, or otherwise attempt to collect on any settlement of or judgment on account of Claims or Causes of Action against Excluded D&O Parties shall do so solely upon available insurance coverage, if any, from the GUC Trust D&O Insurance Policies; and (iii) the GUC Releasing Parties shall not otherwise attempt to collect, directly or indirectly, from the personal assets of any Excluded D&O Party. The Covenant Not To Collect shall be binding on any transferee, successor, or assign in connection with any transfer, pledge, sale, hypothecation, assignment, or other disposal of Claims or Causes of Action against the Excluded D&O Parties and, in connection with any such transfer, the failure of a transferee to agree to the Covenant Not To Collect shall render such transfer void ab initio. Each of the Excluded D&O Parties are express third-party beneficiaries of this Covenant Not To Collect.

(c) Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, of the GUC Releases and, further, shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s finding that the GUC Releases are: (i) in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the GUC Released Parties, including, without limitation, the GUC Released Parties’ contributions to facilitating the Debtors’ restructuring and the implementation of this Plan; (ii) a good faith settlement and compromise of the Released Claims; (iii) in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, and all holders of Claims and Interests; (iv) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (v) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (vi) a bar to any GUC Releasing Party asserting any Released Claim.

Section 10.5 Effect of Releases

(a) Holders of Trust Channeled Claims shall have the option to grant or opt out of granting, as applicable, the Non-GUC Releases or the GUC Releases, as applicable.

(b) In addition to the amount of any Distribution to be provided by a Trust to a holder of an Allowed Trust Channeled Claim (other than a (i) Canadian Provinces Claim; (ii) State Opioid Claim; or (iii) Tribal Opioid Claim) that is a Non-GUC Releasing Party or a GUC Releasing Party, as applicable, such Non-GUC Releasing Party or GUC Releasing Party, as applicable, shall receive an additional payment in exchange for granting or being deemed to grant, as applicable, the Non-GUC Releases or the GUC Releases, as applicable.

Section 10.6 Exculpation

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no Exculpated Party shall have or incur liability for, and each Exculpated Party is released and exculpated from, any Exculpated Claim, except for gross negligence, intentional fraud, or willful misconduct (to the extent such duty is imposed by

 

207


applicable non-bankruptcy law). For the avoidance of doubt, this exculpation shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, the Releases and all other releases, indemnities (including the Indemnification Obligations), exculpations, and any other applicable law or rules protecting such Exculpated Parties from liability. For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors, their Estates, and the Post-Emergence Entities are not (i) exculpating any (1) Excluded Party; (2) TPG Party; (3) Insurance Advisor Party; (4) Additional Advisor Excluded Party; or (5) Additional Third-Party Excluded Party; or (ii) releasing any GUC Trust Litigation Claims.

(b) The Exculpated Parties have, and upon Confirmation of this Plan shall be deemed to have, participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable laws and provisions of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to the solicitation of votes on, and Distribution of consideration (including securities) pursuant to, this Plan and, therefore, are not, and on account of such Distributions shall not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of this Plan or such Distributions made pursuant to this Plan, including, in each case, any Distribution made by any Trust in accordance with this Plan and the applicable Trust Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the exculpation set forth above does not release or exculpate any claim relating to any post-Effective Date obligations of any Person under this Plan, any Restructuring Transaction, the Plan Transaction, or any Plan Document or other document, instrument, or agreement executed to implement this Plan.

Section 10.7 Discharge of Claims and Termination of Interests

Pursuant to section 1141(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan, the Distributions, rights, and treatment that are provided in this Plan shall be in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge to the fullest extent permitted by section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, effective as of the Effective Date, of all Claims, Interests, and Causes of Action of any nature whatsoever, including any interest accrued on Claims or Interests from and after the Petition Date, whether known or unknown, against the Debtors or the Debtors’ Estates or any of their Assets or properties, regardless of whether any property shall have been distributed or retained pursuant to this Plan on account of such Claims and Interests, including demands, liabilities, and Causes of Action that arose before the Effective Date, any contingent or non-contingent liability on account of representations or warranties issued on or before the Effective Date, and all debts of the kind specified in sections 502(g), 502(h), or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, in each case whether or not: (a) a Proof of Claim or Interest based upon such Claim, debt, right, or Interest is filed or deemed filed pursuant to section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code; (b) a Claim or Interest based upon such Claim, debt, right, or Interest is Allowed pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code; (c) the holder of such a Claim or Interest has voted to accept this Plan; or (d) the holder of such Claim or Interest has voted or failed to vote to accept or reject this Plan. All Claims and Interests shall be satisfied, discharged, and released in full, and the Debtors’ liability with respect thereto shall be extinguished completely, including any liability of the kind specified under section 502(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. All Entities shall be precluded from asserting any Claims against the Debtors, their Estates, the Post-Emergence Entities, their respective successors and assigns, and their respective Assets and properties, and any other Claims or Interests based upon any documents, instruments, or any act of omission, transaction, or other activity of any kind or nature that occurred prior to the Effective Date. The Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination (i) of the discharge of all Claims and Interests, subject to the Effective Date; and (ii) that no Claims shall be excepted from discharge under section 1141(d)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.
