INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT
   
PRELIMINARY NOTE

The Woodbridge Liquidation Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. It was formed on February 15, 2019, the effective date (the “Plan Effective Date”) of the First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation dated August 22, 2018 of Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and Its Affiliated Debtors (the “Plan”). The Trust was formed to implement the terms of the Plan. The Plan was confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) on October 26, 2018 in the jointly administered chapter 11 bankruptcy cases (the “Bankruptcy Cases”) of Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and its affiliated chapter 11 debtors (collectively, the “Debtors”), Case No. 17-12560 (BLS).

In this Registration Statement, all beneficial interests in the Trust, including both Class A Liquidation Trust Interests and Class B Liquidation Trust Interests, are collectively referred to as “Liquidation Trust Interests.” However, the only class of securities being registered pursuant to this Registration Statement is the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests.

The material terms of the Plan which relate to holders of Liquidation Trust Interests (the “Interestholders”) are described in this Registration Statement, as well as in the Disclosure Statement for the First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation of The Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and Its Affiliated Debtors (the “Disclosure Statement”). The Disclosure Statement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on August 22, 2018, and was distributed or made available to claimants and equity holders of the Debtors pursuant to Section 1125 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”).

A copy of the Plan is included as Exhibit 2.1 to this Registration Statement. A copy of the order of the Bankruptcy Court confirming the Plan is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. Capitalized terms that are used in this Registration Statement without any definition in this Registration Statement are intended to have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan.

Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements. This Registration Statement, and other filings by the Trust with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), or written statements made by the Trust in press releases or in other written communications, and in oral statements made by or with the approval of the Liquidation Trustee, may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as codified in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act” and, together with the Securities Act, the “Acts”). Such statements include, without limitation, financial guidance and projections and statements with respect to expectation of future financial condition, changes in net assets in liquidation, cash flows, plan, targets, goals, objectives, and performance of the Trust. Such forward-looking statements also include statements that are preceded by, followed by, or that include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” “is anticipated,” “will continue,” “project,” “may,” “could,” “would,” “should” and similar expressions, and all other statements that are not historical facts. All such forward-looking statements are based on the Trust’s current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include the amount of sales proceeds, timing of sales of real estate assets, timing and amount of funds needed to complete construction of single family homes, amount of general and administrative costs, the number and amount of successful litigations and/or settlements and the ability to recover thereon, the amount of funding required to continue litigations, interest rates, adverse weather conditions in the regions in which properties to be sold are located, economic and political conditions, changes in tax and other governmental rules and regulations applicable to the Trust and its subsidiaries, and other risks identified and described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Registration Statement. These risks and uncertainties are beyond the ability of the Trust to control, and in many cases, the Trust cannot predict the risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements.

In connection with the “safe harbor” provisions of the Acts, the Trust has identified and is disclosing important factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements made by the Trust, or on the Trust’s behalf. (See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Registration Statement.) These cautionary statements are to be used as a reference in connection with any forward-looking statements. The factors, risks and uncertainties identified in these cautionary statements are in addition to those contained in any other cautionary statements, written or oral, which may be made or otherwise addressed in connection with a forward-looking statement or contained in any of the Trust’s subsequent filings with

the SEC. Because of these factors, risks and uncertainties, the Trust cautions against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Although the Trust believes that the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements are currently reasonable, any of the assumptions could be incorrect or incomplete, and there can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. Except as may be required by law, the Trust does not undertake any obligations to modify, update or revise any forward-looking statement to take into account or otherwise reflect subsequent events, corrections in or revisions of underlying assumptions, or changes in circumstances arising after the date that the forward-looking statement was made.

Item 1.   Business

A.Overview

The Trust and its wholly-owned subsidiary Woodbridge Wind-Down Entity LLC (the “Wind-Down Entity”) were formed pursuant to the Plan. The purpose of the Trust is to prosecute various causes of action acquired by the Trust pursuant to the Plan (the “Causes of Action”), to litigate and resolve claims filed against the Debtors, to pay allowed administrative and priority claims against the Debtors (including professional fees), to receive cash from certain sources and, in accordance with the Plan, to make distributions to Interestholders of cash subject to the retention of various reserves and after the payment of Trust expenses and administrative and priority claims. The Trust has no other purpose. Anticipated sources of cash include the net proceeds from settlements of various Causes of Action, remittances of cash distributed from the Wind-Down Entity, “Fair Funds” recoveries from the SEC, and assets forfeited to the U.S. Department of Justice by former owners and principals of the Debtors.

The purpose of the Wind-Down Entity is, through its subsidiaries (the “Wind-Down Subsidiaries” and, with the Wind-Down Entity, the “Wind-Down Group”), to develop (as applicable), market, and sell the real estate assets owned by the Wind-Down Subsidiaries to generate cash to be remitted to the Trust after the payment of Wind-Down Group expenses and subject to the retention of various reserves. The Trust, the Remaining Debtors and the Wind-Down Group are collectively referred to in this Registration Statement as the “Company.”

Most of the Debtors filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in December 2017 (certain other Debtors filed cases on later dates). During the Bankruptcy Cases, the major constituencies reached agreements on several matters, including new management for the Debtors, the manner and timing of the liquidation of the Debtors’ assets, and relative priorities to such distributions among creditors. Certain of these agreements were embodied in the Plan, which was confirmed in October 2018 and became effective on February 15, 2019. Under the Plan, holders of certain claims against the Debtors received Class A Liquidation Trust Interests, which are the subject of this Registration Statement.

The Trust will be terminated upon the first to occur of (i) the making of all distributions required to be made and a determination by the Liquidation Trustee that the pursuit of additional causes of actions held by the Trust is not justified or (ii) February 15, 2024. However, the Bankruptcy Court may approve an extension of the term if deemed necessary to facilitate or complete the recovery on, and liquidation of, the Trust Assets. The Wind-Down Group will be dissolved upon the completion of the liquidation of its assets.

The Trust is administered by a Liquidation Trustee. The Liquidation Trustee is authorized, subject to the oversight of a six-member Supervisory Board, to carry out the purposes of the Trust. In particular, the Liquidation Trustee is responsible for protecting, maintaining, liquidating to cash and maximizing the value of the Causes of Action transferred or contributed to the Trust, whether by litigation, settlement or otherwise. The Wind-Down Entity is managed by a three-member board of managers, one of whom is the chief executive officer.

Pursuant to the Plan and the Liquidation Trust Agreement of the Trust (as amended, the “Trust Agreement”), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Registration Statement, distributions to Interestholders are net of the payment of Trust expenses and administrative and priority claims and the retention of various reserves. Such amounts withheld from distributions may include the cost of maintaining, litigating, and resolving Causes of Action, fees and expenses of the Liquidation Trustee and the Supervisory Board, and fees and expenses of the Trust’s attorneys and consultants. Furthermore, cash received from the Wind-Down Group is net of the payment of Wind-Down Group expenses and the retention of reserves by the Wind-Down Group.

Distributions will be made by the Trust only to the extent that the Trust has sufficient assets (over amounts retained for contingent liabilities and future costs and expenses, among other things) to make such payments in accordance with the Plan and the Trust Agreement. No distribution is required to be made to any Interestholder unless such Interestholder is to receive in such distribution at least $10.00. If the Trust mails a distribution check to an Interestholder and the Interestholder fails to cash the check within 180 calendar days, or if the Trust mails a distribution check to an Interestholder and such check is returned to the Trust as undeliverable and is not claimed by the Interestholder within 180 days, then the Interestholder may not only lose its right to the amount of that distribution, but also may be deemed to have forfeited his or her right to any reserved and future distributions under the Plan.

Distributions will be made at the sole discretion of the Liquidation Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Trust Agreement. As of June 30, 2019, the Liquidation Trustee and the Supervisory Board have

3

TABLE OF CONTENTS

authorized a single cash distribution of approximately $44.70 million. Through June 30, 2019, approximately $42.87 million has been distributed to holders of Class A Liquidation Interests. There have been no other distributions declared through the date of this Registration Statement and none have been announced.

B.Organization of the Company

On the Plan Effective Date, the Plan was implemented and the Trust and the Wind-Down Entity were formed. By operation of the Plan, the following assets were transferred to the Trust on the Plan Effective Date:

an aggregate of $5.0 million in cash from the Debtors for the purpose of funding the Trust’s initial expenses of operation;
the following Causes of Action: (i) all claims and causes of action formerly held or acquired by the Debtors and (ii) all causes of action contributed (“Contributed Claims”) by Noteholders or Unitholders (as defined below) to the Trust as “Contributed Claims” pursuant to the Plan;
all of the outstanding membership interests of the Wind-Down Entity; and
certain other non-real estate related assets and entities.

The Trust was established for the benefit of its Interestholders and for the purpose of collecting, administering, distributing and liquidating the Trust assets in accordance with the Plan and the Trust Agreement, to resolve disputed claims asserted against the Debtors, to litigate and/or settle the Causes of Action, and to pay certain Allowed Claims and statutory fees, in each case to the extent required by the Plan. The Trust has no objective to continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business, except to the extent reasonably necessary to, and consistent with, the purpose of the Trust as set forth in the Plan.

On the Plan Effective Date and by operation of the Plan, the Wind-Down Entity became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trust. The Wind-Down Entity was organized for the purpose of accepting, holding, and administering the Debtors’ real estate assets and distributing the net proceeds of liquidating such real estate assets to the Trust in accordance with the Plan and the Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Wind-Down Entity (the “Wind-Down Entity LLC Agreement”), consistent with the purposes of the Trust. As of the Plan Effective Date, the Wind-Down Group received, in the aggregate, assets consisting of approximately $31.34 million in cash and approximately $585.01 million of real estate and other assets.

By operation of the Plan, (i) the real estate assets of the Debtors were automatically vested in the Wind-Down Group; (ii) all existing equity interests in Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and Woodbridge Mortgage Investment Fund 1, LLC (together, the “Remaining Debtors”) were cancelled and extinguished and new equity interests in the Remaining Debtors, representing all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Remaining Debtors, were issued to the Trust; and (iii) all of the Debtors other than the Remaining Debtors were automatically dissolved.

As of the Plan Effective Date, each of the Debtors’ directors, officers and managers were terminated and the Trust succeeded to all of their powers in respect of the assets vested in the Trust. Each of the Debtors other than the Remaining Debtors was automatically dissolved on the Plan Effective Date pursuant to the Plan.

C.Material developments leading to confirmation of the Plan

Prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases, the Debtors were part of a group of more than 275 affiliated entities formed by, and formerly controlled by, Robert Shapiro (“Shapiro”) which were used by Shapiro to perpetrate a large-scale “Ponzi” scheme. As part of the scheme, Shapiro is believed to have used the group of affiliated entities to raise more than $1.22 billion from over 10,000 investors nationwide. Money was raised in the form of one of two primary products: five-year private placement products (i.e., “Units” and their holders, “Unitholders”) and purportedly secured promissory note products of from twelve to eighteen months (i.e., “Notes” and their holders, “Noteholders”).

The proceeds of the sale of Units and Notes were not used for the purposes that were represented to investors, but were instead used to pay (i) over $400 million of “interest” and “principal” to existing investors, (ii) approximately $64.5 million in commissions to sales agents engaged in the sale of the investments, and (iii) at least $21.2 million for the personal benefit of Shapiro or his related entities or family members (including, for example, the purchase of luxury items, travel, wine, and the like). Additionally, the Debtors and Shapiro used investor

TABLE OF CONTENTS

funds to purchase at least 193 residential and commercial properties located primarily in Los Angeles, California, and Carbondale, Colorado. The Debtors had one segment, known as “Riverdale,” which did, in fact, originate loans to unrelated third parties, but the dollar amount of these third-party loans was a fraction of amount of the loans made to disguised affiliates.

In the years leading up to the commencement of their Bankruptcy Cases, the Debtors faced a variety of inquiries from state and federal regulators. In particular, in or around September 2016, the SEC began investigating certain of the Debtors (and certain non-debtor affiliates) in connection with possible securities law violations, including the alleged offer and sale of unregistered securities, the sale of securities by unregistered brokers, and the commission of fraud in connection with the offer, purchase, and sale of securities.

In late 2017, the Debtors found it increasingly difficult to raise new capital from investors. The Debtors were unable to make the December 1, 2017 interest and principal payments due on the Notes. Shapiro hired an outside financial restructuring firm and a chief restructuring officer to manage the Debtors on or about December 1, 2017, and on December 4, 2017 chapter 11 bankruptcy cases for 279 of the Debtors were commenced (cases for the 27 other Debtors were filed on later dates). An immediate effect of commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases was the imposition of the automatic stay under Bankruptcy Code section 362(a), which, with limited exceptions, enjoined the commencement or continuation of all collection efforts by creditors, the enforcement of liens against property of the Debtors, and the continuation of litigation against the Debtors during the pendency of the Bankruptcy Cases. Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, a company may continue to operate its business under the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court while it attempts to reorganize.

As of the commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases, certain discovery-related disputes regarding administrative subpoenas issued by the SEC were proceeding before the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, but the SEC had not yet asserted any claims against any of the Debtors or their affiliates. Subsequent to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases, the SEC commenced legal proceedings in the Florida district court against, among other defendants, Shapiro, a trust related to Shapiro or his family, and the Debtors.

In addition to the SEC investigation, certain of the Debtors received information requests from state securities regulators in approximately 25 states. As of the commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases, regulators in eight states had filed civil or administrative actions against one or more of the Debtors and certain of their sales agents, alleging they engaged in the unregistered offering of securities in their respective jurisdictions and unlawfully acted as unregistered investment advisors or broker-dealers. Six states—Massachusetts, Texas, Arizona, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Michigan—entered permanent cease and desist orders against one or more of the Debtors related to their alleged unregistered sale of securities. Several of these inquiries were resolved prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases through settlements, which included the entry of consent orders. Certain of the Debtors entered into consent orders with California, Arizona, Michigan, Oregon, Idaho, and Colorado during the Bankruptcy Cases.

On December 14, 2017, the Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware (the “U.S. Trustee’s Office”) formed the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the “Unsecured Creditors’ Committee”). On December 20, 2017, the SEC filed its action in the Florida district court, as discussed above, detailing much of the massive fraud perpetrated by Shapiro before the commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases. The SEC asked the Florida district court to appoint a receiver who would displace the Debtors’ management in the Bankruptcy Cases, but the Florida district court declined to immediately act on this request in light of the pending Bankruptcy Cases.

On December 28, 2017, the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee filed a motion seeking appointment of a chapter 11 trustee to replace the Debtors’ management team, arguing that the team was “hand-picked by Shapiro, and ha[d] done his bidding both before and after the filing of these cases.” The SEC later made a similar request, arguing that the new “independent” management team was “completely aligned [with Shapiro] in controlling this bankruptcy.”

On or about January 23, 2018, the Debtors, the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee, the SEC, and groups of Noteholders and Unitholders entered into a term sheet (the “Joint Resolution”) that resolved the trustee motions and several other matters. The Joint Resolution included, among other provisions, the following key provisions:

A new board of managers—with no ties whatsoever to Shapiro—was formed to govern the Debtors (the “New Board”). The New Board consisted of Richard Nevins, M. Freddie Reiss, and Michael Goldberg.
The New Board was empowered to select a CEO or CRO, subject to the consent of the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee and the SEC.

5

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The New Board was empowered, subject to the SEC’s consent, to select new counsel for the Debtors or to re-confirm Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP as counsel for the Debtors.
The holders of Units were permitted to form a single one or two member fiduciary Unitholder committee (the “Unitholder Committee”) to advocate for the interests of Unitholders.
The holders of Notes were permitted to form a single six to nine member fiduciary Noteholder committee (the “Noteholder Committee”) to advocate for the interests of Noteholders.

As authorized by the Joint Resolution, the New Board selected Frederick Chin to serve as the Chief Executive Officer and Bradley D. Sharp to serve as the Chief Restructuring Officer during the pendency of the Bankruptcy Cases. Under the direction of the New Board, the Debtors also retained and employed Development Specialists, Inc. as the Debtors’ restructuring advisor and Klee, Tuchin, Bogdanoff & Stern LLP as new bankruptcy co-counsel to represent them in the Bankruptcy Cases with Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor LLP.

On April 16, 2018, the Debtor defendants in the Florida proceedings entered into a consent agreement with the SEC and consented to the entry of a judgment. Under the consent agreement and the judgment, the Debtors agreed, among other things, that (i) the Debtor defendants would be permanently enjoined from violations of certain sections of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; (ii) upon motion of the SEC, the Florida district court would determine whether it was appropriate to order disgorgement and/or a civil penalty against the Debtor defendants, and if so, the amount of any such disgorgement and/or civil penalty; and (iii) in connection with any hearing regarding disgorgement and/or a civil penalty, inter alia, the Debtor defendants would be precluded from arguing that they did not violate the federal securities laws as alleged in the SEC action and the Debtor defendants would not challenge the validity of the consent agreement or judgment. On May 1, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court approved the consent agreement and the judgment. On May 21, 2018, the Florida district court entered the judgment against the Debtor defendants in the SEC action and entered an order administratively closing such action. The Debtors reached a settlement with the SEC to resolve the disgorgement and civil penalty claims asserted by the SEC against the Debtor defendants.

During the Bankruptcy Cases the Debtors sold numerous parcels of owned real property, in each case with Bankruptcy Court approval. Additionally, the major constituencies in the Bankruptcy Cases reached agreements on several matters, including new management for the Debtors, the manner and timing of the liquidation of the Debtors’ assets, and the relative priorities to such distributions among creditors, certain of which agreements were embodied in the Plan.

Under the Plan, on the Plan Effective Date, former Noteholders, Unitholders, and general unsecured creditors holding allowed claims were granted Class A Liquidation Trust Interests in exchange for their claims. Pursuant to a compromise in the Plan, former Unitholders also received Class B Liquidation Trust Interests (Unitholders received Class A Liquidation Trust Interests on account of only 72.5% of their Allowed Unit Claims, and received Class B Liquidation Trust Interests on account of the remaining 27.5% of their Allowed Unit Claims).

The Plan incorporated a “netting” mechanism for Note and Unit investors whereby such investors received Liquidation Trust Interests based on their “Net” Note Claim or the “Net” Unit Claim—in other words, after reducing such Note or Unit claims by the aggregate amount of all pre-bankruptcy distributions received by such Noteholder or Unitholder (other than return of principal). For example, a Noteholder holding a Note with a face amount of $100,000 who received $10,000 of “interest” before the Debtors filed bankruptcy would be deemed to hold a Net Note Claim of $90,000. Such Noteholder would receive Class A Liquidation Trust Interests on account of a $90,000 Net Note Claim.

D.Plan provisions regarding the Company
1.Corporate governance provisions

Under the Plan and the Wind-Down Entity LLC Agreement, the Trust is required at all times to be the sole and exclusive owner of all membership interests of the Wind-Down Entity. The Trust is prohibited from selling, transferring, or otherwise disposing of its membership interests in the Wind-Down Entity without approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and the Wind-Down Entity is prohibited from issuing any equity interest to any other person. Under the Plan and the Wind-Down Entity LLC Agreement, the Wind-Down Entity is required to be managed by a three-member board of managers, one of whom is the chief executive officer. Since the Plan Effective Date, the board of managers of the Wind-Down Entity (the “Board of Managers”) has consisted of Richard Nevins, M. Freddie

6

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Reiss, and Frederick Chin and the chief executive officer of the Wind-Down Entity has been Frederick Chin. The Wind-Down Entity is also conducting business under the name “Viewpoint Collection.”

The Wind-Down Entity is required to advise the Trust regarding its affairs on at least a monthly basis, reasonably make available such information as is necessary for any reporting by the Trust, and advise the Trust of material actions. Excess cash of the Wind-Down Entity (cash that is in excess of budgeted reserves for ongoing operations and other anticipated obligations and expenses as determined by the Board of Managers) is required to be remitted to the Trust on a quarterly basis, and the Wind-Down Entity is restricted in its ability to invest or gift any of its assets or make asset acquisitions.

The Bankruptcy Court has retained certain jurisdiction regarding the Trust, the Liquidation Trustee, the Supervisory Board, the Wind-Down Entity, the Board of Managers, and assets of the Trust and the Wind-Down Entity, including the determination of all disputes arising out of or related to administration of the Trust and the Wind-Down Entity.

2.Treatment under the Plan of holders of claims against and equity interests in the Debtors

The Plan identified 12 types of Claims against and equity interests in the Debtors, eight of which were “classified” (i.e., placed into formalized classes under the Plan) and four of which are not. Claims required to be paid in full under the Plan are referred to as Unimpaired Claims. The four types of Claims that are not classified—Administrative Claims, Professional Fee Claims, Priority Tax Claims, and DIP Claims—are all Unimpaired Claims and have been or will be paid in full. Although the amounts may be subject to negotiation based on the Debtors’ and creditors’ records, and to ultimate determination, if necessary, in the Bankruptcy Court, liabilities resulting from any such Administrative Claims, Professional Fee Claims, Priority Tax Claims, and DIP Claims that are Allowed are analogous, in substance, to accounts payable. As of June 30, 2019 there were no Allowed and unpaid DIP claims. As of June 30, 2019, there were approximately $.37 million of unpaid Administrative Claims, approximately $.65 million of unpaid Priority Tax Claims and approximately $.35 million of unpaid Professional Fee Claims.

The remaining eight types are Claims and equity interests that have been classified. Classified Claims and equity interests are treated in accordance with the priorities established under the Bankruptcy Code.

The classified Claims and equity interests under the Plan are Class 1 (Other Secured Claims), Class 2 (Priority Claims), Class 3 (Standard Note Claims), Class 4 (General Unsecured Claims), Class 5 (Unit Claims), Class 6 (Non-Debtor Loan Note Claims), Class 7 (Subordinated Claims) and Class 8 (Equity Interests). Of these, only Class 1 Claims and Class 2 Claims are Unimpaired.

Holders of Class 1 Claims are creditors of the Wind-Down Entity, and Holders of Class 2 Claims are creditors of the Trust. Although the amounts may be subject to negotiation based on the Debtors’ and creditors’ records, and to ultimate determination, if necessary, in the Bankruptcy Court, liabilities resulting from any such Claims that are Allowed is analogous, in substance, to accounts payable. As of June 30, 2019, there were no Allowed and unpaid Class 1 Claims or Class 2 Claims.

Under the Plan, three Classes of Claims, when the Claims are “Allowed” under the Plan, entitle the holders thereof to become holders of Liquidation Trust Interests. The holders of these Claims belonged, as of the Petition Date, to one or more of the following categories:

Standard Note Claims (Class 3)
General Unsecured Claims (Class 4)
Unit Claims (Class 5)

Standard Note Claims are Claims arising from any and all investments, interests or other rights with respect to any of the seven Debtors identified as a “Fund Debtor” under the Plan that were styled, marketed or sold as “notes,” “mortgages,” or “loans.” As of June 30, 2019, the aggregate outstanding amount of Allowed Class 3 Standard Note Claims (net of prepetition distributions of interest) was approximately $702.79 million, including those Class 6 Non-Debtor Loan Note Claims that were reclassified as Class 3 Standard Note Claims in accordance with the Plan. See “Holders of Non-Debtor Loan Note Claims” below. The Trust’s estimate of the aggregate outstanding amount of disputed Class 3 Standard Note Claims as of June 30, 2019 is approximately $5.37 million (net of prepetition distributions of interest).

7

TABLE OF CONTENTS

General Unsecured Claims include any unsecured, non-priority Claim asserted against any of the Debtors that is not a Note Claim, Subordinated Claim or Unit Claim, and generally include the Claims of trade vendors, landlords, general liability claimants, utilities, contractors, employees and numerous others. As of June 30, 2019, the aggregate outstanding amount of Allowed Class 4 General Unsecured Claims was approximately $3.80 million, and the Trust estimates that the aggregate outstanding amount of disputed Class 4 General Unsecured Claims as of June 30, 2019 was approximately $23.97 million.

Unit Claims are Claims arising from any and all investments, interests or other rights with respect to any of the seven Debtors identified as a “Fund Debtor” under the Plan that were styled, marketed or sold as “units.” As of June 30, 2019, the aggregate outstanding amount of Allowed Class 5 Unit Claims was approximately $173.21 million, and the Trust estimates that the aggregate outstanding amount of disputed Class 5 Unit Claims as of June 30, 2019 was approximately $9.46 million (in each case, net of prepetition distributions of interest).

Holders of Allowed Claims in Classes 3, 4 and 5 are deemed to hold an amount and class of Liquidation Trust Interests that is prescribed by the Plan based on the amount of their respective Claim, as follows:

Each holder of an Allowed Claim in Class 3 (Standard Note Claims) is deemed to hold one (1) Class A Liquidation Trust Interest for each $75.00 of Net Note Claims held by the applicable Noteholder with respect to its Allowed Note Claims.
Each holder of an Allowed Claim Class 4 (General Unsecured Claims) is deemed to hold one (1) Class A Liquidation Trust Interest for each $75.00 of Allowed General Unsecured Claims held by the applicable creditor.
Each holder of an Allowed Claim in Class 5 (Unit Claims) is deemed to hold 0.725 of a Class A Liquidation Trust Interest and 0.275 of a Class B Liquidation Trust Interest for each $75.00 of Net Unit Claims held by the applicable Unitholder with respect to its Allowed Unit Claims.

In addition, under the Plan, holders of Standard Note Claims and Unit Claims were permitted, at the time they cast their votes on the Plan, to elect to contribute their causes of action against any non-released persons to the Trust for prosecution. The relative share of the Trust recoveries for any so electing Noteholder or Unitholder in respect of its respective Class 3 Claim or Class 5 Claim has been enhanced by having the amount that otherwise would be the applicable Net Note Claim or Net Unit Claim increased by a multiplier of 105%, referred to as the “Contributing Claimant’s Enhancement Multiplier.” The Plan releases the Debtors, the members of the New Board, the Committees, and any party related to such persons from liability, but generally excludes from such release any prepetition insider of any of the Debtors, any non-debtor affiliates of the Debtors or insider of any such non-debtor affiliates, any prepetition employee of any of the Debtors involved in the marketing or sale of Notes or Units, and any other person involved in such marketing, including certain persons identified on a schedule attached to the Plan.

Distributions of cash by the Trust on account of Class A Liquidation Trust Interests and Class B Liquidation Trust Interests are required to be made in accordance with a prescribed priority, referred to as the “Liquidation Trust Interests Waterfall.” (See “Dividends and Distributions” under “Item 11. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.”) Fractional Liquidation Trust Interests, if any, are rounded in accordance with the rounding convention established by the Plan.

Other Classes under the Plan include Subordinated Claims, Non-Debtor Loan Note Claims, and Equity Interests. Subordinated Claims generally include Claims other than for compensation for actual pecuniary loss, such as fines, penalties, forfeitures, or multiple, exemplary or punitive damages and other Claims that are subordinated to General Unsecured Claims, Note Claims and Unit Claims pursuant to the Plan. Although holders of Subordinated Claims are not Interestholders of the Trust, they are deemed to have retained a residual right to receive any cash that remains in the Trust after the final administration of all the Trust assets and payment in full to holders of both Class A and Class B Liquidation Trust Interests, including interest at the rate and to the extent set forth in the Plan. The Trust does not expect that there will be any such residual cash.1

1Pursuant to the Plan, all holders of Class 6 Non-Debtor Loan Note Claims elected to reclassify their claims as Class 3 Standard Note Claims, and the dollar amount of such claims is included in the Standard Note Claim summary above. Holders of Equity Interests are not Interestholders of the Trust and will receive no payments; as of the Effective Date, all Equity Interests were cancelled.

3.Assets and liabilities of the Company

The Trust has no authority to engage in any trade or business except to the extent reasonably necessary to, and consistent with, its purpose. The purpose of the Trust is to hold and effectuate an orderly disposition of the Trust assets, including liquidation to cash and maximization of value of the Causes of Action by litigation, settlement or otherwise, to receive remittances from the Wind-Down Entity, to resolve disputed Claims asserted against the Debtors, to pay certain Allowed Unimpaired Claims and statutory fees, and to distribute cash to Interestholders in accordance with the Plan and the Trust Agreement. The Trust is governed by the Trust Agreement, the material terms of which are summarized in this Registration Statement. The summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Trust Agreement.

As of the Plan Effective Date, all cash and other property of the Debtors were transferred to or otherwise became vested in the Trust or the Wind-Down Group. The assets received by the Trust included cash (consisting of Liquidation Trust Funding of approximately $5.0 million), the Causes of Action, outstanding membership interests of the Wind-Down Entity and of the Remaining Debtors, and certain other non-real estate related assets and entities. The assets received by the Wind-Down Group included real estate assets of the Debtors, including real properties and real property loans.

Under the Plan, the Trust may:

liquidate any and all Trust assets;
pursue the Causes of Action, including preference, fraudulent conveyance, and other avoidance actions, lender liability claims, fraud claims and breach of fiduciary duty claims;
resolve, either consensually or through litigation, all disputed Claims asserted against the Debtors; and
make all distributions required under the Plan (“Distributions”).

Under the Plan, the Trust received the Causes of Action, certain of which were acquired from the Debtors and others of which were contributed by holders of Notes or Units to the Trust as Contributed Claims under the terms of the Plan. Certain of the Causes of Action are currently the subject of pending litigation (see “Item 8. Legal Proceedings” of this Registration Statement). Other Causes of Action, not yet commenced, involve potential claims under investigation by the Trust. Potential Causes of Action include claims against Robert Shapiro, Jeri Shapiro, their affiliates, and others, including FINRA member firms and investment advisers registered with the SEC whose associated persons sold Woodbridge securities. The Trust also is investigating potential claims against certain of Woodbridge’s former outside professionals, employees and agents, including claims arising under various securities statutes and common law claims such as fraud.

Due to the inherently uncertain nature of litigation, and to the fact that certain of the Causes of Action remain under investigation and evaluation, the Trust is unable to make a meaningful estimate of the aggregate value of the Causes of Action.

The status of outstanding Unimpaired and Impaired Claims as of June 30, 2019 is summarized below, with amounts in millions:

 
Estimated Allowed
Claims
Disputed Claims at Asserted
Amount
Unimpaired Claims (Liabilities)
$1.07
$36.21
Impaired Claims (Beneficial Interests)
$899.36
$24.26

As of the Plan Effective Date, the liabilities of the Trust included accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $5.78 million, representing pre-Plan Effective Date professional fees. In addition, as of February 15, 2019 the liabilities of the Trust under the Liquidation Basis of Accounting included estimated future costs to manage the Trust such as Supervisory Board and Liquidation Trustee fees, U.S. Trustee’s Office fees, professional fees, insurance and other costs of $31.78 milllion.

The Trust may also receive assets from two sources in addition to the Causes of Action.

First, the Trust may receive contributions from “Fair Funds,” reflecting recoveries by the SEC as a result of settlements with, among others, Jeri Shapiro and securities brokers engaged in the offer and sale of the Debtors’ securities (the “Fair Fund Recoveries”).

9

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Second, the Trust may receive funds from the United States Department of Justice on account of assets forfeited by, among others, Robert and Jeri Shapiro (the “Forfeited Asset Recoveries”). In March 2019, Robert Shapiro was charged with ten criminal counts stemming from his orchestration of the Ponzi scheme described above. After initially pleading not guilty, in August 2019 Shapiro changed his plea to a guilty plea, and pled guilty to counts of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud, and tax evasion. In connection therewith, Robert Shapiro has agreed to forfeiture of all property which constitutes or is derived from proceeds traceable to his offense or conviction, as well as forfeiture of substitute property, to the United States. The property subject to forfeiture includes, but is not limited to, a forfeiture money judgment in the sum of at least $100 million. Jeri Shapiro has acknowledged that the assets subject to forfeiture include assets that she may own, and has executed a written consent to the forfeiture. In October 2019, Shapiro was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Under the Plan, the Wind-Down Group has been established for purposes consistent with those of the Trust and may liquidate its assets, by means of sales of real property and otherwise, and make remittances to the Trust. As of the Plan Effective Date, the Wind-Down Group received, in the aggregate, assets consisting of approximately $31.34 million in cash and approximately $585.01 million of real estate and other assets.

As of the Plan Effective Date, the Company had consolidated net real estate held for sale and other assets of approximately $585.01 million, cash of approximately $36.34 million, accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $5.78 million, accrued liquidation costs of $232.07 million and net assets in liquidation of approximately $383.49 million.

4.Liquidation Trust Interests under the Plan

Each holder of an Allowed Claim in the Plan’s Class 3 (Standard Note Claims), Class 4 (General Unsecured Claims) and Class 5 (Unit Claims) was granted one or more beneficial interests in the Trust (a Liquidation Trust Interest) of a class (i.e. either Class A and/or Class B) and in an amount prescribed by the Plan and the Trust Agreement, as follows:

In the case of an Allowed Claim in the Plan’s Class 3 (Standard Note Claims), the holder was granted one (1) Class A Liquidation Trust Interest in the Trust for each $75.00 of Net Note Claims held by the applicable Noteholder with respect to its Allowed Note Claims. Allowed Net Note Claims are determined as the outstanding principal amount of Note Claims held by a particular Noteholder, minus the aggregate amount of all prepetition distributions (other than return of principal) received by such Noteholder.
In the case of an Allowed Claim in the Plan’s Class 4 (General Unsecured Claims), the holder was granted one (1) Class A Liquidation Trust Interest in the Trust for each $75.00 of Allowed General Unsecured Claims held by the applicable creditor.
In the case of an Allowed Claim in the Plan’s Class 5 (Unit Claims), the holder was granted 0.725 of a Class A Liquidation Trust Interest in the Trust and 0.275 of a Class B Liquidation Trust Interest in the Trust for each $75.00 of Net Unit Claims held by the applicable Unitholder with respect to its Allowed Unit Claims. Allowed Net Unit Claims were determined as the outstanding principal amount of Unit Claims held by a particular Unitholder, minus the aggregate amount of all prepetition distributions (other than return of principal) received by such Unitholder.

The Plan permitted Noteholders and Unitholders to contribute certain causes of action (the Contributed Claims) to the Trust. Contributed Claims are defined, in relevant part, as “[a]ll Causes of Action that a Noteholder or Unitholder has against any Person that is not a Released Party and that are related in any way to the Debtors, their predecessors, their respective affiliates, or any Excluded Parties.” In the case of any Noteholder or Unitholder that elected, on such holder’s Plan ballot, to contribute such holder’s Contributed Claims to the Trust, the relative share of Liquidation Trust Interests granted to any so electing Noteholder or Unitholder has been enhanced by increasing the amount that otherwise would be the applicable Net Note Claim or Net Unit Claim by the Contributing Claimant’s Enhancement Multiplier of 105% before converting such Net Note Claim or Net Unit Claim to Liquidation Trust Interests.

With respect to Disputed Claims (as defined in the Plan), upon resolution of any Disputed Claims and to the extent such Claims become Allowed Claims, holders of such Claims in the Plan’s Class 3, Class 4 and Class 5 will be granted Liquidation Trust Interests.

As of June 30, 2019, $879.80 million of Class 3, Class 4 and Class 5 Claims are Allowed. The Trust estimates, as of June 30, 2019, that approximately $19.56 million of Class 3, Class 4 and Class 5 Claims will ultimately be

10

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Allowed. As more such claims become Allowed, additional Liquidation Trust Interests will be granted. The percentage recovery to be received by each Class A Liquidation Trust Interest holder will be based on (i) amount of cash ultimately available for distribution to such holders; and (ii) the actual amount of Class 3, Class 4, and Class 5 Claims that ultimately become Allowed.

For a description of the Liquidation Trust Interests, see “Item 11. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered” of this Registration Statement.

Pursuant to the Plan and the Trust Agreement, distributions to Interestholders are net of any costs and expenses incurred by the Trust, including in connection with administering the Trust and litigating or otherwise resolving the various Causes of Action and Disputed Claims. Such amounts withheld from distribution may include fees and expenses of the Liquidation Trustee, premiums for directors and officers insurance, and other insurance and fees and expenses of attorneys and consultants. Distributions will be made only from assets of the Trust and only to the extent that the Trust has sufficient assets (in excess of amounts retained for contingent liabilities and future costs and expenses, among other things) to make such payments in accordance with the Plan and the Trust Agreement. No distribution is required to be made to any Interestholder unless such Interestholder is to receive in such distribution at least $10.00.

Distributions will be made at the sole discretion of the Liquidation Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Trust Agreement. As of June 30, 2019, the Liquidation Trustee has declared one distribution to the Class A Interestholders. In total, the aggregate amount of the March 29, 2019 cash distribution was approximately $44.70 million. Of this amount, approximately $42.31 million was paid to holders of Class A Liquidation Trust Interests on March 29, 2019. An additional amount of approximately $.56 million was paid to holders of Class A Liquidation Trust interests as additional claims were Allowed during the period from March 29, 2019 through June 30, 2019. An amount of approximately $.01 million was released from the restricted cash account and distributions declared were reduced by the same amount in respect to disallowed claims during the period from March 29, 2019 through June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, approximately $1.81 million from that distribution remains in a restricted cash account in respect of unresolved claims.

The Plan provides for a Liquidation Trust Interests Waterfall that specifies the priority and manner of distribution of available cash. On each distribution date, the Liquidation Trustee is required to distribute available cash as follows:

First, to each Interestholder of Class A Liquidation Trust Interests pro rata based on such Interestholder’s number of Class A Liquidation Trust Interests, until the aggregate amount of all such Distributions on account of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests equals the product of (i) the total number of all Class A Liquidation Trust Interests and (ii) $75.00;
Thereafter, to each Interestholder of Class B Liquidation Trust Interests pro rata based on such Interestholder’s number of Class B Liquidation Trust Interests, until the aggregate amount of all such Distributions on account of the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests equals the product of (i) the total number of all Class B Liquidation Trust Interests and (ii) $75.00;
Thereafter, to each Interestholder of a Liquidation Trust Interest (whether a Class A Liquidation Trust Interest or a Class B Liquidation Trust Interest) pro rata based on such Interestholder’s number of Liquidation Trust Interests until the aggregate amount of all such Distributions on account of the Liquidation Trust Interests equals an amount equivalent to interest, at a per annum fixed rate of 10%, compounded annually, accrued on the aggregate principal amount of all Net Note Claims, Allowed General Unsecured Claims, and Net Unit Claims outstanding from time to time on or after December 4, 2017, treating each distribution of available cash made after the Plan Effective Date pursuant to the immediately preceding two subparagraphs as reductions of such principal amount; and
Thereafter, pro rata to the holders of Allowed Subordinated Claims until such Claims are paid in full, including interest, at a per annum fixed rate of 10% or such higher rate as may be specified in any consensual agreement or order relating to a given Holder, compounded annually, accrued on the principal amount of each Allowed Subordinated Claim outstanding from time to time on or after December 4, 2017.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

E.Operations and management of the Company
1.The Trust

The trustee of the Trust is Michael I. Goldberg, Esq. (the “Liquidation Trustee”). The Liquidation Trustee was unanimously selected by the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee, the Noteholder Committee, and the Unitholder Committee and approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

The Trust is also required to have a trustee that has its principal place of business in the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Trustee”). The Delaware Trustee is Wilmington Trust Company, National Association, who has been appointed for the purpose of fulfilling the requirements of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act.

The Trust does not have directors, executive officers or employees. Subject as described below to certain supervision by a Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board (the “Supervisory Board”), the Liquidation Trustee has the full power, right, authority and discretion, unless otherwise provided in the Plan, to carry out and implement all applicable provisions of the Plan.

In addition to other actions that the Liquidation Trustee has the authority to take, the Liquidation Trustee may do any and all of the following:

review, reconcile, compromise, settle, or object to Claims and resolve such objections as set forth in the Plan, free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable bankruptcy rules;
calculate and make distributions and calculate and establish reserves under and in accordance with the Plan;
retain, compensate, and employ professionals and other persons to represent the Liquidation Trustee with respect to and in connection with its rights and responsibilities;
establish, maintain, and administer documents and accounts of the Debtors as appropriate, which are to be segregated to the extent appropriate in accordance with the Plan;
maintain, conserve, collect, settle, and protect the Liquidation Trust Assets (subject to the limitations described in the Plan);
sell, liquidate, transfer, assign, distribute, abandon, or otherwise dispose of the assets of the Trust or any part of such assets or interest in such assets upon such terms as the Liquidation Trustee determines to be necessary, appropriate, or desirable;
negotiate, incur, and pay the expenses of the Trust;
prepare and file any and all informational returns, reports, statements, tax returns, and other documents or disclosures relating to the Debtors that are required under the Plan, by any governmental unit, or by applicable law;
compile and maintain the official claims register, including for purposes of making initial and subsequent distributions under the Plan;
take such actions as are necessary or appropriate to wind-down and dissolve the Debtors;
comply with the Plan, exercise the Liquidation Trustee’s rights, and perform the Liquidation Trustee’s obligations; and
exercise such other powers as deemed by the Liquidation Trustee to be necessary and proper to implement the Plan.

The powers and authority of the Liquidation Trustee are subject to limitations under the Trust Agreement. On behalf of the Trust or the Interestholders, the Liquidation Trustee is prohibited from doing any of the following:

entering into or engaging in any trade or business (other than the management and disposition of the assets of the Trust), and no part of the Liquidation Trust Assets or the proceeds, revenue or income therefrom may be used or disposed of by the Trust in furtherance of any trade or business;
except as expressly permitted in the Trust Agreement, reinvesting any assets of the Trust;
selling, transferring, or otherwise disposing of the Trust’s membership interests in the Wind-Down Entity without further approval of the Bankruptcy Court; or
incurring any indebtedness except as contemplated by the Plan or the Trust Agreement.

12

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Liquidation Trustee is permitted to invest cash of the Trust, including any earnings thereon or proceeds therefrom, any cash realized from the liquidation of the assets of the Trust, or any cash that is remitted to the Trust from the Wind-Down Entity or any other person. Investments by the Liquidation Trustee are not required to comply with Bankruptcy Code section 345(b). Accordingly, the Liquidation Trustee will not be required to obtain a secured bond from financial institutions with whom Trust funds are deposited or invested. However, investments must be investments that are permitted to be made by a “liquidating trust” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(d), as reflected in such regulation, or under applicable guidelines, rulings, or other controlling authorities. Accordingly, cash not available for distribution and cash pending distribution is expected to be held in demand and time deposits, such as short-term certificates of deposit, in banks or other savings institutions, or other temporary, liquid investments such as Treasury bills.

The Liquidation Trustee is subject to removal and replacement following notice to the SEC and upon a determination by the Bankruptcy Court that “cause” exists for such removal and replacement, using the standard set forth under Bankruptcy Code Section 1104.

Pursuant to the Plan and the Trust Agreement, the activities of the Liquidation Trustee are subject to the supervision of the Supervisory Board, a six-member supervisory board currently consisting of Lynn Myrick, John J. O’Neill, and Terry Goebel (all three of whom were nominated by the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee), Jay Beynon (nominated by the Noteholder Committee), Dr. Raymond C. Blackburn (nominated by the Unitholder Committee), and M. Freddie Reiss (elected to such position by the other members of the Supervisory Board). Mr. Reiss is the sole member of the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board.

Under the Plan, the Supervisory Board has the rights and powers of a duly elected board of directors of a Delaware corporation. The Supervisory Board is charged with supervision of the Liquidation Trustee in accordance with the Plan and the Trust Agreement, determination of the Liquidation Trustee’s incentive compensation, if any, and approval of the appointment of any successor Liquidation Trustee. In the event that votes or consents by the Supervisory Board for and against any matter (other than any matter regarding the supervision, evaluation or compensation of the Liquidation Trustee) are equally divided, the Liquidation Trustee has the power to cast the deciding vote.

Additionally, approval by the Supervisory Board or, in the absence of such approval, an order of the Bankruptcy Court, is necessary concerning any of the following matters:

any sale or other disposition of an asset of the Trust, or any release, modification or waiver of existing rights as to an asset of the Trust, if the asset at issue exceeds $500,000 in estimated value;
any compromise or settlement of litigation or controverted matter proposed by the Liquidation Trustee involving claims in excess of $500,000; and
any retention by the Liquidation Trustee of professionals.

The approval of sale of real estate assets owned by the Wind-Down Group is the subject of an agreed-upon protocol between the Trust and the Wind-Down Entity. (See “Item 3. Properties” of this Registration Statement.)

Members of the Supervisory Board may resign following written notice to the Liquidation Trustee and the other members of the Supervisory Board. Such resignation will become effective on the later to occur of (i) the day specified in such written notice and (ii) the date that is thirty (30) days after the date such notice is delivered. A member of the Supervisory Board may be removed only by entry of a Bankruptcy Court order finding that cause exists to remove such member.

In the event that a member of the Supervisory Board is removed, dies, becomes incapacitated, resigns or otherwise becomes unavailable for any reason, such member’s replacement shall be appointed in accordance with the Plan, which establishes procedures for the appointment of such replacements. If a member of the Supervisory Board nominated by the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee is no longer available for any reason, then the remaining member(s) selected by the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee are to select the replacement member(s). If a member of the Supervisory Board nominated by either the Noteholder Committee or the Unitholder Committee is no longer available for any reason, then the available former members of the Noteholder Committee or Unitholder Committee, as applicable, are to be requested to, and may, select a replacement. If no former members of the Noteholder Committee or the Unitholder Committee, as applicable, are reasonably available and willing to make the selection, then the remaining members of the Supervisory Board are to select the replacement member(s).

13

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests have no voting rights with respect to the selection or replacement of the Liquidation Trustee or the Delaware Trustee and have no other voting rights.

The Audit Committee of the Trust was appointed by the Supervisory Board to oversee (i) the integrity of the annual, quarterly and other financial statements of the Trust, (ii) the independent auditor’s qualification and independence, (iii) the performance of the Trust’s independent auditor, and (iv) the compliance by the Trust with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee also is authorized, subject to final review by all disinterested members of the Supervisory Board in each case, to review and approve all related-person transactions in which the Trust is a participant as provided for in the Trust’s Related Person Transaction Policy. The Audit Committee is comprised of M. Freddie Reiss, who also serves as Chairman of the committee.

2.The Wind-Down Group

Under the Plan and the Wind-Down LLC Agreement, the Wind-Down Entity is managed by a three-member Board of Managers, one of whom is the chief executive officer. The Board of Managers is required to consist of the Chief Executive Officer of the Wind-Down Entity and two other persons. Pursuant to the Plan, the initial Board of Managers is comprised of Frederick Chin (the Chief Executive Officer of the Wind-Down Entity) and Richard Nevins and M. Freddie Reiss (former members of the Debtors’ New Board).

The Board of Managers is charged with the administration of the Wind-Down Entity, including the power to carry out any and all acts necessary, convenient or incidental to or for the furtherance of the purposes of the Wind-Down Entity. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan and the Wind-Down LLC Agreement, no individual member of the Board, in his or her capacity as such, has any authority to bind the Wind-Down Entity.

Members of the Board of Managers serve until they resign, die, become incapacitated or are removed for Cause by the Trust. “Cause” is defined in the Wind-Down Entity LLC Agreement, with respect to any Manager, as (i) the embezzlement, misappropriation of any property or other asset of the Wind-Down Entity; (ii) the commission of, or the entering of a plea of nolo contendere or guilty with respect to, any felony whatsoever or any misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; or (iii) any willful and material breach of the terms of the Wind-Down Entity LLC Agreement or the terms of the Plan applicable to such Manager. Any member of the Board of Managers may resign by giving not less than thirty (30) calendar days’ prior notice of resignation to the other members. Vacancies on the Board of Managers are required to be filled by the Trust.

Subject to the Plan and the Wind-Down Entity LLC Agreement, the Board of Managers also is charged with the supervision and oversight of the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer of the Wind-Down Entity is Frederick Chin. In addition to the Chief Executive Officer, the Wind-Down Entity has 15 employees as of June 30, 2019.

Subject to the supervision of the Board of Managers as described above, the Chief Executive Officer has the authority, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, to carry out and implement all applicable provisions of the Plan for the ultimate benefit of the Trust, including the authority to do the following:

retain, compensate, and employ professionals and other persons to represent the Wind-Down Entity in connection with its rights and responsibilities;
establish, maintain, and administer accounts of the Debtors as appropriate;
maintain, develop, improve, administer, operate, conserve, supervise, collect, settle, and protect the assets of the Wind-Down Entity;
sell, liquidate, transfer, assign, distribute, abandon, or otherwise dispose of the assets of the Wind-Down Entity, including through the formation on or after the Plan Effective Date of any new or additional legal entities to be owned by the Wind-Down Entity to own and hold particular assets of the Wind-Down Entity separate and apart from any other assets of the Wind-Down Entity, upon such terms as the Chief Executive Officer determines to be necessary, appropriate, or desirable;
invest cash of the Debtors and their estates, including any cash realized from the liquidation of the assets of the Wind-Down Entity;
negotiate, incur, and pay the expenses of the Wind-Down Entity;
exercise and enforce all rights and remedies regarding any loans or related interests as to which the lender was a Debtor and the underlying borrower actually is or actually was a Person that is not a Debtor,

14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

including any such rights or remedies that any Debtor or any estate was entitled to exercise or enforce prior to the Plan Effective Date on behalf of a holder of a Non-Debtor Loan Note Claim, and including rights of collection, foreclosure, and all other rights and remedies arising under any promissory note, mortgage, deed of trust, or other document with such underlying borrower or under applicable law;

comply with the Plan, exercise the Chief Executive Officer’s rights, and perform the Chief Executive Officer’s obligations; and
exercise such other powers as deemed by the Chief Executive Officer to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions of the Plan.

Each of the Wind-Down Subsidiaries is managed by its member, the Wind-Down Entity. Frederick Chin serves as Chief Executive Officer of each of the Wind-Down Subsidiaries.

Distributions of cash or other assets of the Wind-Down Group are to be made as and when determined by the Board of Managers in its sole discretion, provided however that on the first business day that is 30 calendar days after each calendar quarter-end, the Wind-Down Entity is to remit to the Trust as of such quarter-end any cash in excess of its budgeted amount for ongoing operations, other anticipated expenses and other Plan obligations.

3.Current year plan of operations

During the remainder of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, the Trust plans to continue to engage in the resolution of claims filed against the Debtors, the evaluation and prosecution of Causes of Action, and the payment of allowed administrative and priority claims against the Debtors (including professional fees). Subject to the receipt of remittances from the Wind-Down Entity, the payment of Trust expenses, administrative and priority claims and the retention of various reserves, the Trust also plans to make distributions of cash to Interestholders in accordance with the Plan.

As of June 30, 2019, the Wind-Down Group had 14 single family homes under construction and 81 real estate assets held for sale. These 81 real estate assets include 11 single family homes, 35 lots, 20 secured loans and 15 other properties. During the remainder of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, the Wind-Down Group expects to complete the construction of nine single family homes and to actively market these properties along with the 81 real estate asset currently held for sale. The Wind-Down Group expects to fund its capital requirement for construction as well as its operating costs with cash on hand, proceeds from sales of real estate assets, and if necessary borrowings under its existing line of credit. These sources of funds are expected to be sufficient to fund the Wind-Down Group’s operations through the end of its fiscal year ending June 30, 2020.

4.Termination and dissolution of the Company

The Trust is required to be terminated, and the Liquidation Trustee discharged from duties, at such time as: (a) the Liquidation Trustee determines that the pursuit of additional causes of actions held by the Trust is not likely to yield sufficient additional proceeds to justify further pursuit of such causes of action and (b) all distributions required to be made by the Liquidation Trustee to the holders of Allowed Claims and to the Interestholders under the Plan and the Trust Agreement have been made. Notwithstanding the above, the Trust must be terminated no later than February 15, 2024 unless the Bankruptcy Court, upon motion made within the six-month period before such date, determines that a fixed period extension is necessary to facilitate or complete the recovery on, and liquidation of, the Trust Assets, except that the Bankruptcy Court may not grant an extension that, together with any prior extensions, exceeds three years unless the Trust has obtained a favorable letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the further extension would not adversely affect the status of the Trust as a liquidating trust for federal income tax purposes.

The Trust may not be terminated at any time by the Interestholders. Upon any termination of the Trust, any remaining assets of the Trust that exceed the amounts required to be paid under the Plan may be transferred by the Liquidation Trustee to the American Bankruptcy Institute Endowment Fund.

Pursuant to the Plan, following the sale or other disposition of all of the assets of the Wind-Down Entity, the Wind-Down Entity will be dissolved.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Item 1A.   Risk Factors

An investment in the Liquidation Trust Interests involves various risks. An investor should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information included or incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement before deciding to invest in the Liquidation Trust Interests. Any of the risk factors set forth below could significantly and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. As a result, the trading price of the Liquidation Trust Interests could decline and an investor could lose a part or all of his or her investment.

Risks Relating to Limited Purpose and Recent Formation

The Trust has a limited purpose. The Trust cannot conduct any trade or business for profit. The Trust was formed pursuant to a chapter 11 bankruptcy plan. The Trust’s purpose is to prosecute Causes of Action, to litigate and resolve claims filed against the Debtors, to pay allowed administrative and priority claims against the Debtors (including professional fees), to receive cash from certain sources and, in accordance with the Plan, to make distributions of cash to Interestholders subject to the retention of various reserves and after the payment of Trust expenses and administrative and priority claims.

The Trust does not expect to generate or receive cash other than from limited sources. The Trust does not expect to receive significant cash other than from remittances to the Trust by the Wind-Down Entity (reflecting the net proceeds of the Wind-Down Group’s liquidation of its portfolio of real estate assets), litigation or settlement by the Trust of its Causes of Action, Fair Fund Recoveries and Forfeited Asset Recoveries.

The Trust’s cash may be invested only in investments permissible under applicable Treasury regulations. Cash not available for distribution and cash pending distribution is expected to be held in demand and time deposits, such as short-term deposits in banks or other savings institutions or other temporary, liquid investments such as Treasury bills. Such investments are likely to bear only low rates of interest, if any. There can be no assurance that cash will earn interest or dividends at a rate in excess of inflation, or at all. The Liquidation Trustee will not be liable in the event of the insolvency or failure of any institution in which he or she has invested any funds of the Trust.

The Trust and the Wind-Down Entity are recently formed entities. Each was formed on February 15, 2019, the effective date of the Plan, and has little or no operating history. The Wind-Down Group has a limited operating history upon which to forecast its future cash proceeds from real estate sales, net and cash used to pay accrued liquidation costs. In assessing its business prospects, and its ability to make distributions to the Trust, you should consider various risks and difficulties encountered by newly organized companies. These risks include the Wind-Down Group’s ability to implement and execute its business plan and respond effectively to operational and competitive challenges.

Risks Relating to Uncertainties Relating to Causes of Action

The amount and timing of receipts, if any, from Causes of Action is inherently speculative and risky and cannot be predicted with certainty. The Trust does not expect to receive the proceeds of Causes of Action unless and until it successfully obtains judgments or concludes settlements with respect to such Causes of Action and is successful in recovering on such judgments or settlements. The Trust may not be successful in litigating the Causes of Action or, if it is successful, there could be a significant delay before any recovery is obtained and distributed (if ever). The outcome of litigation is inherently speculative and uncertain, and there can be no assurance that the Trust will obtain a favorable judgment or settlement with respect to any particular Cause of Action. In addition, even if there is a favorable judgment or settlement, there can be no assurance that the Trust will be able to recover some or all of such judgment or settlement. Due to the speculative and risky nature of litigation and settlement efforts, the Company is unable to make any meaningful determination of the potential outcome or value, in the aggregate, of the Causes of Action.

Even if there is a recovery based on the Causes of Action, there can be no assurances that there will be sufficient funds to make any distributions to Interestholders. Even if the Trust obtains a judgment or settlement based on the Causes of Action and successfully recovers funds on account of such judgment or settlement, there can be no assurance that the Interestholders will receive any proceeds from such judgment or settlement. Before Interestholders receive distributions, the Liquidation Trustee must pay Trust expenses and may set aside funds for future expenses or contingencies.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Limited information regarding developments in the Trust’s prosecution of Causes of Action and potential outcomes will be available; therefore, it may be difficult for Interestholders to assess the amount of recovery. Following the effectiveness of this Registration Statement, the Trust expects to be required to file current and periodic reports with the SEC, as required under the Exchange Act. The Trust also expects to file with the Bankruptcy Court such quarterly reports as may be required by the Plan and the Liquidation Trust Agreement. The SEC and Bankruptcy Court reports are expected to include certain information regarding pending Causes of Action. However, the Trust’s ability to disclose details of the Causes of Action may be limited by the inherent nature and rules of judicial proceedings, including, among other things, proceedings and filings that are sealed by a court, matters involving attorney-client and work product privilege and proceedings that are conducted on a confidential basis by agreement of the parties, such as settlement negotiations. To the extent that information regarding the Causes of Action cannot be provided, it will be difficult for investors in the Liquidation Trust Interests to make any meaningful determination of the potential outcome or value of the Causes of Action.

Risks Relating to Real Estate Assets

The Wind-Down Group may not be able to sell its real estate for their carrying value. The Wind-Down Group has estimated the sales price of its real estate assets. There are many factors which are outside of the Wind-Down Group’s control which may impact the actual sales price of its real esate assets. The actual sales price will be determined through negotiations between the Wind-Down Group and the prospective buyer. The actual sales price of the real estate assets may differ materially from the estimates.

There is limited liquidity in real estate investments, which could limit the Wind-Down Group’s flexibility. Real estate is a relatively illiquid asset. The Wind-Down Group may not be able to sell its real estate assets at the optimal time to maximize its recovery. The Wind-Down Group is unable to acquire new real estate assets to diversify its portfolio and may lack the flexibility to adapt in response to changes in economic and other conditions.

The Wind-Down Group’s real estate asset portfolio is not diversified. As of June 30, 2019, the Wind-Down Group held a total of approximately 95 residential and commercial properties located primarily in a small part of Los Angeles, California, and Carbondale, Colorado (excluding Riverdale assets). Moreover, the vast majority of the estimated value of the Wind-Down Group’s real estate portfolio derives from several very exclusive and expensive single family residential properties in the Beverly Hills and Bel-Air neighborhoods of Los Angeles. This lack of diversification means that the Wind-Down Group is particularly subject to the risks and fluctuations in the price of high-end residential real property in this market, and any downturn in this market would result in a significant and outsized negative impact on the Wind-Down Group.

Many of the residential real properties are positioned within the high-end of the markets in which they are located and are subject to the costs and risks associated with construction of such properties. High-end residential real properties are defined as homes priced in excess of $10 million. These homes tend to be larger, custom “estate” properties constructed with costly, high-quality or designer materials. They tend also to be situated in highly attractive, affluent hillside neighborhoods featuring panoramic views and special amenities. The high-end market is characterized by relatively high and unpredictable construction costs due to their unique designs, the cost of quality materials, installations by craftsman subcontractors and construction costs on hillside locations. Due to their design, engineering and construction complexities, hillside properties are frequently subject to protracted construction periods. Additionally, projected completion schedules may be subject to further delays caused by material and craftsman subcontractor shortages.

High-end residential properties are subject to the costs and risks of marketing such properties. High-end residential properties commonly require longer average DOM (days on the market) than conventional residential properties. During an extended marketing period, significant costs may be incurred to furnish, maintain and own the completed homes. The Wind-Down Group may be required to refresh properties after completion of construction to accommodate prospective purchasers, which may cause unexpected construction costs and to accomodate potential buyer preferences.

The Wind-Down Group is dependent on the timely and consistent performance of services by third party service providers. To complete the construction of its properties, the Wind-Down Group relies on general contractors, development managers, architects, maintenance personnel and other service providers who are not under the control of the Wind-Down Group. Inadequate or failed performance of services by such third party providers may subject the Wind-Down Group to delays in completing its properties that may increase the costs of construction.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Los Angeles market, in which many of the properties owned by the Wind-Down Group are located, may experience a significant slackening of demand. Slowing of demand in the Los Angeles market may further lengthen the number of days the properties remain on the market and negatively affect sales prices. In addition, periods of economic slowdown or recession in the United States and in other countries, rising interest rates or declining demand for real estate, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, could result in a general decline in property values, which would adversely affect the financial position, net assets in liquidation and cash flow of the Wind-Down Group. This would, in turn, adversely affect the Company’s ability to make distributions to its Interestholders.

If the Wind-Down Group is unable to sell properties within a reasonable period of time, it may need to consider bulk marketing and disposition. The Wind-Down Group’s homes are highly customized and unique. The pool of potential buyers for these homes is very limited and, depending on market conditions, price reductions and/or bulk sales may be necessary. One or more bulk sales of the Wind-Down Group’s properties is unlikely to yield as high an aggregate value as individual property sales, and a bulk sale may possibly depress prices in that market, negatively affecting the Wind-Down Group’s ability to recover the highest value for its remaining properties.

The Wind-Down Group’s working capital may not be sufficient to complete construction and may be restricted in its ability to access capital to complete construction. As of June 30, 2019, the Wind-Down Group has existing unrestricted cash of approximately $26.10 million. The Wind-Down Group may need to access its $25.38 million revolving line of credit to complete construction of the properties currently under construction. Additional borrowings may be needed. Such borrowings, which would require approval of the Liquidation Trust, may not be available or may be very costly to acquire. The revolving line of credit has a May 1, 2020 maturity date, which may need to be extended. There can be no assurance that an extension can be negotiated or what the cost of an extension might be.

The Wind-Down Entity’s failure to meet repayment requirements under the revolving line of credit could harm its financial condition. Any failure of the Wind-Down Entity to have sufficient liquidity to (i) repay principal payments when due or (ii) pay the outstanding balance at the expiration of the credit facility on May 1, 2020 could materially adversely affect the Wind-Down Entity’s financial condition and performance.

Risks related to building code and zoning compliance may adversely affect the financial condition and changes in net assets in liquidation of the Wind-Down Group. The Wind-Down Group intends to develop numerous high-value properties, and, in connection therewith, must comply with zoning and building code requirements and pass frequent building inspections. Delays or difficulties in connection with any of the foregoing may result in additional costs and delays, which depending on market conditions may adversely affect the financial position, net assets in liquidation and cash flow of the Wind-Down Group. This would, in turn, adversely affect the Trust’s ability to make distributions to its Interestholders.

Risks related to competition from other developers of residential real properties in the markets in which the properties are located may adversely affect the financial condition and changes in net assets in liquidation of the Wind-Down Group. The addition of new homes by the Wind-Down Group’s competitors may increase the available supply of similar properties, creating downward pressure on home prices and protracted sales periods. In addition, one or more of the Wind-Down Group’s competitors may have superior financial resources that would allow them to continue in business for a longer term than the Wind-Down Group.

Risks related to commodity shortages, delivery interruptions, or price increases may delay the Wind-Down Group’s construction schedule and/or increase costs. The Wind-Down Group is dependent on commodities such as lumber, steel, copper, gypsum and others that are commonly used in real property construction. These commodities are prone to market fluctuations and unpredictable shortages due to demand, tariffs, and other factors. In addition, delivery of commodities is subject to interruptions due to labor strikes, civil unrest, and natural disasters. These and other factors beyond the Wind-Down Group’s control may adversely affect the Wind-Down Group’s ability to timely complete construction and could increase overall costs.

Risk related to labor shortages and wage increases may prevent the Wind-Down Group from completing construction at its projected cost. The Wind-Down Group is dependent on skilled contractors and craftsmen at its properties. Labor shortages, wage increases, and other factors beyond the Wind-Down Group’s control may affect the availability and cost of construction labor, and may consequently adversely affect the Wind-Down Group’s ability to timely complete construction of its properties at its projected cost. This would, in turn, adversely affect the Trust’s ability to make distributions to its Interestholders.

19

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Completion of construction may not terminate our obligations to our buyers, and the Wind-Down Group may not be able to obtain construction defect insurance to insure such obligations. In connection with sales of real properties, the Wind-Down Group may be required to undertake post-closing obligations to its buyers, such as builder’s warranties. Any significant liabilities resulting from such post-closing obligations may adversely affect the Wind-Down Group’s results of operations and cash flow. This would, in turn, adversely affect the Trust’s ability to make distributions to its Interestholders. Although the Wind-Down Entity is endeavoring to obtain construction defect insurance to protect against such obligations, it may not be able to do so at reasonable rates for each of its properties. Additionally, insurance coverage may not be readily available and/or sufficient in amount to cover exposures. Furthermore, builder’s warranties may be insufficient in coverage amounts, exposing the Company to further costs.

The Wind-Down Group’s success depends on the continuing contributions of its key personnel. The Wind-Down Group has a skilled management team to oversee the development, marketing and sale of the properties. However, it does not have agreements with any key personnel that hinders such individuals’ ability to quit at will and, thus, any executive officer or key employee may terminate his or her relationship with the Wind-Down Group at any time upon relatively short notice.

Adverse weather conditions and natural disasters could adversely affect the Wind-Down Group’s operations and results. Additionally, the Wind-Down Group may not be able to obtain insurance at reasonable rates for natural disasters and other events which are beyond its control. Adverse weather conditions can delay and increase the costs of construction and may impact buyer demand for properties. In more severe cases, such as wildfires, earthquakes and other natural disasters, weather conditions may damage the Wind-Down Group’s properties, perhaps for prolonged periods, which would negatively affect the value of those properties and the ability to sell them. Southern California, where the bulk of the properties are located, is a seismically active area. Additionally, wildfires are prevalent in this region.

Additionally, although the Wind-Down Group insures its properties against earthquakes (for some properties subject to coverage limitations of insurance), wildfires, and other disasters, it may not able to obtain insurance for these types of events for all of their properties at reasonable rates. In particular, because many of the Wind-Down Group’s properties are located in areas subject to seismic activity and/or wildfires, the Wind-Down Group may not be able to obtain insurance against those types of disasters at reasonable rates. A devastating natural disaster or other event in the vicinity of one of the properties could result in substantial losses. This would, in turn, adversely affect the Trust’s ability to make distributions to its Interestholders.

The Wind-Down Group may suffer environmental liabilities which could result in substantial costs. Under various environmental laws, the current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances, including asbestos-containing materials that are located on or under the property. These laws often impose liability whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of those substances. In connection with the Wind-Down Group’s ownership and operation of properties, it may be liable for these costs, which could be substantial. In addition, the Wind-Down Group may become subject to claims by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination at or emanating from the properties.

Risks Relating to the Liquidation Trust Interests

The Liquidation Trust Interests are not suitable as a long-term investment. The Company intends to complete the liquidation in as short a time as is consistent with the maximization of the value of their assets, without regard to the potential long-term capital appreciation of the real properties owned by the Wind-Down Group. The Company expects to complete the liquidation of its assets during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022.

The Liquidation Trust Interests are subject to forfeiture of their right to further distributions if a holder fails to promptly cash a distribution check or fails to promptly claim a distribution check that is returned to the Trust as undeliverable. The Plan provides that if the Trust mails a distribution check to an Interestholder and the Interestholder fails to cash the check within 180 calendar days, or if the Trust mails a distribution check to an Interestholder and such check is returned to the Trust as undeliverable and is not claimed by the Interestholder within 180 days, then the Interestholder not only loses its right to the amount of that distribution, but also is deemed to have forfeited its right to any reserved and future distributions under the Plan. It is the responsibility of the Interestholders to promptly cash all distribution checks received by them and to contact the Trust’s transfer agent to ensure that the Trust has complete and accurate information. For the Transfer Agent’s contact information, see “Certification and Transfer” under “Item 11. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered” of this Registration Statement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Trust cannot predict with certainty the timing or amount of distributions to the Interestholders. It is not possible to predict with certainty the timing and amount of future distributions to Interestholders. The Trust will make distributions to the Interestholders only if and to the extent that it receives remittances from the Wind-Down Entity, proceeds from the Causes of Action, Fair Fund Recoveries, or Forfeited Asset Recoveries, and then only to the extent that such remittances or proceeds exceed any amounts withheld by the Liquidation Trustee for, among other things, payment of, and reserves for, Trust expenses and funding of the prosecution of remaining Causes of Action. Such cash receipts cannot be predicted with certainty because they are subject to conditions beyond the Trust’s control or which are inherently uncertain. Remittances by the Wind-Down Entity will depend on the amount and timing of the Wind-Down Group’s sale of its portfolio of real estate properties, as well as the Wind-Down Group’s operating expenses. Contributions from the Fair Funds will depend on the SEC’s discretion and ability to recover assets. Cash proceeds from Causes of Action will depend on the Trust’s obtaining, and recovering on, favorable judgments or settlements with respect to any particular Cause of Action.

The Trust cannot predict with certainty the percentage of distributions to which each holder of a Class A Liquidation Trust Interest will be entitled. Such percentage will depend on the total number of Liquidation Trust Interests that ultimately are granted. Additional Liquidation Trust Interests will be granted to holders of disputed claims as and when the Trust resolves such Claims, at which time they become Allowed Claims under the Plan. To the extent that additional Liquidation Trust Interests are granted to the holders of Allowed Claims, the percentage of distributions to which each holder of a Class A Liquidation Trust interest is entitled will decrease. To the extent that additional claims are not Allowed, no additional Liquidation Trust Interests will be granted in respect thereof and the percentage of distributions to which each holder of a Class A Liquidation Trust is entitled will increase. As of June 30, 2019, $879.80 million of Class 3, Class 4 and Class 5 Claims have become Allowed Claims. The Trust estimates, as of June 30, 2019, that an additional approximately $19.56 million of Class 3, Class 4 and Class 5 Claims will ultimately be Allowed. However, the actual amount of Allowed Claims may be materially different from the estimate.

The value of the Liquidation Trust Interests is expected to decrease over time. The value of the Liquidation Trust Interests will depend primarily on the anticipated net liquidation value of the remaining assets of the Trust, which is expected to decrease with each cash distribution (if any) made to Interestholders.

There is no currently-established trading market for the Liquidation Trust Interests, which could limit liquidity, and it may be difficult to establish a price per Liquidation Trust Interest. There is no currently established trading market for the Liquidation Trust Interests and the Trust does not intend to seek to have the Liquidation Trust Interests listed on any national securities exchange. The Trust intends to make efforts to cause the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests to be traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, but there is no assurance of success in doing so or that such trading will continue. The price of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests may depend on several factors, including (but not limited to) the nature of court decisions, general real estate market conditions, speculation about the outcome of the Causes of Action and the sufficiency of the funds available to the Trust to prosecute the Causes of Action. There may be wide fluctuations in the market price of Class A Liquidation Trust Interests.

If a trading market for Class A Liquidation Trust Interests develops, the market price may be volatile. Many factors could cause the market price of Class A Liquidation Trust Interests to rise and fall, including the following:

Actual or anticipated fluctuations in the Trust’s or the Wind-Down Group’s quarterly or annual financial results;
The financial guidance the Trust may provide to the public, any changes in such guidance and projections, or the failure to meet such guidance and projections;
Failure of the Wind-Down Entity to maintain compliance with any financial covenants under its revolving line of credit;
The failure of industry or securities analysts to maintain coverage of the Trust, changes in financial estimates by any industry or securities analysts that follow the Trust, or the Trust’s failure to meet such estimates;
Changes in the market valuations of other companies in the same industry as the Wind-Down Group;
Various market factors or perceived market factors, including rumors, whether or not correct, involving the Trust, the Wind-Down Group, the properties, potential buyers, or the Wind-Down Group’s competitors;

21

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Sales, or anticipated sales, of large blocks of Liquidation Trust Interests, including short selling by investors;
Additions or departures of key personnel;
Regulatory or political developments;
Litigation and governmental or regulatory investigations;
Changes in real estate market conditons; and
General economic, political, and financial market conditions or events.

To the extent that there is volatility in the price of Class A Liquidation Trust Interests, the Trust may also become the target of securities litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert the Trustee’s and the Supervisory Board’s attention and the Company’s resources as well as depress the value of Liquidation Trust Interests.

Certain holders of Class A Liquidation Trust Interests, deemed under the Bankruptcy Code to be “underwriters,” may not be able to sell or transfer their Class A Liquidation Trust Interests in reliance upon the Bankruptcy Code’s exemption from the registration requirements of federal and state securities laws. Such “statutory underwriters” may include members of the Supervisory Board and holders of ten percent (10%) or more of the Liquidation Trust Interests. For a description of certain other persons who may be deemed to be “statutory underwriters,” see “Class A Liquidation Trust Interest Transfer Restriction” under “Item 11. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered” of this Registration Statement. Statutory underwriters may not be able to offer or sell their Class A Liquidation Trust Interests without registration under the Securities Act or applicable state securities (i.e., “blue sky”) laws unless such offer and sale is exempted from the registration requirements of such laws. The offer and sale of Class A Liquidation Trust Interests by statutory underwriters in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act may require compliance with the requirements and conditions of Rule 144 of such law, including those regarding the holding period, the adequacy of current public information regarding the Trust, sale volume restrictions, broker transactions, and the filing of a notice.

Potential conflicts of interest exist among the classes of Liquidation Trust Interests. The existence of separate classes of Liquidation Trust Interests could give rise to occasions when the interests of the Interestholders could diverge, conflict or appear to diverge or conflict. Operational and financial decisions by the Liquidation Trustee regarding the litigation could favor one class (i.e., Class A or Class B) of Interestholders over another, adversely affecting the market value of a particular class of Liquidation Trust Interests or the distribution to that particular class of Liquidation Trust Interests.

Risks Relating to Management and Control

The Trust is controlled by the Liquidation Trustee and the Interestholders have no voting rights regarding decisions made on behalf of the Trust. All decisions concerning the conduct of the Causes of Action and distribution of assets of the Trust are to be made by the Liquidation Trustee, in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Trust Agreement, with approval by the Supervisory Board for certain decisions as set forth in the Trust Agreement. The Interestholders have no right to elect or remove the Liquidation Trustee. The Liquidation Trustee may be removed by Bankruptcy Court order upon the motion of the Supervisory Board and a showing of good cause; provided, however, that the proposed removal and replacement of Michael Goldberg as Liquidation Trustee will require a determination by the Bankruptcy Court that “cause” exists for such removal and replacement using the standard under Bankruptcy Code section 1104 made after notice of such proposed removal and replacement has been provided to the SEC.

Interestholders will have only limited rights against the Liquidation Trustee and the Liquidation Trustee has limited liability to the Trust. The Trust Agreement provides that the Liquidation Trustee and the Delaware Trustee (and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives) and any officer, employee or agent of the Trust or its affiliates will have no liability to the Trust or the Interestholders except for acts or omissions of the Liquidation Trustee or the Delaware Trustee undertaken with the deliberate intent to injure the Interestholders or with reckless disregard for the best interests of the Interestholders. Any liability of the Liquidation Trustee will be limited to actual, proximate and quantifiable damages. The Trust Agreement further provides that the Liquidation

22

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Trustee shall not incur any liability for any act or omission under the Trust Agreement unless the Liquidating Trustee has acted with gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct. The Trust Agreement provides that the Interestholders have no voting rights (except in connection with certain amendments to the Trust Agreement).

The Trust has limited control over the Wind-Down Entity. The business and affairs of the Wind-Down Entity are managed by its Board of Managers. The Trust, as the sole member of the Wind-Down Entity, has only limited approval rights over decisions by the Board of Managers. Under the Wind-Down Entity LLC Agreement, the Trust may remove members of the Board of Managers only for Cause, as defined in the Wind-Down Entity LLC Agreement. Furthermore, except in the case of three specified properties, the Trust has approved in advance any property sale by the Wind-Down Group provided that the purchase price for such property is at or above the approved low-case price for such property in the Wind-Down Group’s current business plan. Only in the case of a sale of one or more of the three specified properties, or a sale of another property at a price less than its approved low-case price, is the Wind-Down Entity required to obtain the Trust's approval for the sale of a property. In the event of a dispute between the Trust and the Wind-Down Entity as to any matter that cannot be resolved between the Trust and the Wind-Down Entity, the Wind-Down Entity LLC Agreement requires that the matter be resolved by the Bankruptcy Court.

Being a public company is expensive and administratively burdensome. The Trust anticipates becoming subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The Trust’s status as a reporting company under the Exchange Act will cause the Trust to incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses that the Trust has not previously incurred. The Trust expects these rules and regulations to increase its legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. The Trust also expects that these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for the Trust to obtain director and officer liability insurance and that the Trust may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain approximately the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for the Trust to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on the Supervisory Board.

Risks Relating to Taxes

If the Trust is not treated as a liquidating trust for federal tax purposes, there may be adverse tax consequences to the Trust and the Interestholders. Pursuant to the Plan and the Trust Agreement, the Trust was organized with the intention that it conform to the requirements of a liquidating trust under applicable IRS rules. However, not all aspects of the formation of the Trust are expressly addressed in such rules, and the requirements of such rules are not always specific. No legal opinions have been requested from counsel, and no rulings have been or will be requested from the IRS, as to the tax treatment of the Trust. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not determine that the Liquidation Trust does not qualify as a liquidating trust. If the Trust does not qualify as a liquidating trust, there may be adverse federal income tax consequences, including taxation of the income of the Trust at the entity level, which could reduce the amount of Trust cash available for distributions to Interestholders or result in tax assessments of Interestholders upon their receipt of distributions.

As a liquidating trust, the Trust is subject to federal tax rules that limit its operations. To maintain its status as a liquidating trust, the Trust will need to comply with IRS regulations and revenue procedures applicable to the operation of liquidating trusts. The Trust will be prohibited or restricted from, among other activities, engaging in the conduct of a trade or business, unreasonably prolonging its liquidation activities, or allowing business activities to obscure the liquidating purpose of the Trust. Furthermore, the Trust will be subject to restrictions on its ability to retain net income or the net proceeds from the sale of assets from year to year, to make investments, and to use Trust funds to continue the development of the Wind-Down Entity’s real estate assets. Due to the lack of specificity and indeterminate nature of the applicable requirements, there can be no assurance that the Trust will be able to comply with the IRS rules. If the Trust fails to comply with such rules, the IRS may determine that the Trust’s status as liquidating trust may be revoked. Revocation of such status may entail adverse federal income tax consequences to the Trust and the Interestholders.

The Trust may be restricted under applicable federal tax rules from accepting all Fair Fund Recoveries and Forfeited Asset Recoveries. Under applicable IRS rules, liquidating trusts are not permitted to receive or retain cash or cash equivalents in excess of a “reasonable” amount to meet claims and contingent liabilities (including disputed claims) or to maintain the value of the assets during liquidation. It is unclear whether the approximately $5 million cash contributions to the Trust under the Plan, together with any future Fair Fund Recoveries or Forfeited Asset Recoveries, will be determined to be an amount in excess of such limit.

23

TABLE OF CONTENTS

An Interestholder’s tax liability could exceed distributions. If the Trust has income for a taxable year, the appropriate portion of that income may be includable in an Interestholder’s taxable income, whether or not any cash is actually distributed to the Interestholder by the Trust. The Plan and the Trust Agreement permit the Trust to reserve certain amounts to fund, among other things, operating and other expenses, and do not contain a mandatory tax distribution provision. Therefore, for any particular year, there may be no distribution or a distribution that is less than an Interestholder’s tax liability on its share of the income of the Trust.

Purchasers of Liquidation Trust Interests may be required to make special calculations to determine tax gain or loss on the sale of Liquidation Trust Interests. The Trust does not expect to maintain a separate basis account for any purchaser of a Liquidation Trust Interest in an open market transaction. However, to the extent the Trust is treated as a grantor trust, the purchaser may be treated as though such purchaser purchased the Liquidation Trust Interest deemed to have been owned by the selling Interestholder. The new purchaser may receive a new tax basis in the acquired Liquidation Trust Interests equal to such purchaser’s purchase price of the Liquidation Trust Interests. Upon the sale of assets by the Trust and its related entities, the basis of the Liquidation Trust Interest on the books and records of the Trust may be different than the new purchaser’s basis, requiring the new purchaser to make special calculations to report the correct gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. Investors are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Liquidation Trust Interests.

Expenses incurred by the Trust may not be deductible by Interestholders. Expenses incurred by the Trust generally will be deemed to have been proportionately paid by each Interestholder. As such, these expenses may not be deductible or be subject to limitations on deductibility. Interestholders are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Liquidation Trust Interests.

Before purchasing Liquidation Trust Interests, investors are urged to engage in careful tax planning with a tax professional. The federal income tax treatment of the Liquidation Trust Interests is complex and may not be clear in all cases. For example, in the case of an investor who purchases Liquidation Trust Interests in more than one transaction at different times and for different prices, and subsequently sells a portion of such Liquidation Trust Interests, there appears to be no clear guidance as to whether such purchaser can use average-cost basis in all of Liquidation Trust Interests or instead may claim a higher or lower tax basis depending on the specific price of each lot. Additionally, the federal income tax treatment of the Liquidation Trust Interests may vary depending on the investor’s particular facts and circumstances. Investors other than individual citizens or residents of the U.S., and certain other persons subject to special treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, should consider the impact of their status on the tax treatment of such an investment. Persons subject to such special treatment under the Internal Revenue Code may include foreign companies, family trusts, 401(k) or individual retirement accounts, non-citizens of the U.S., tax-exempt organizations, real estate investment trusts, small business investment companies, regulated investment companies, governmental entities, entities exercising governmental authority, banks and certain other financial institutions, broker-dealers, insurance companies, and persons that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar.

Risks Relating to Accounting, Financial Reporting and Information Management

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared on the Liquidation Basis of Accounting, which requires the estimation of the future value of assets and the amount of projected expenses. Estimates by management may be based, among other things, on projected construction and selling periods, real estate appraisals, cost forecasts by construction engineers, and the levels of general and administrative expenses (such as payroll, insurance and rent). However, the actual realized value of the Company’s assets and the Company’s actual expenses are likely to differ from the estimated amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and such differences may be material and possibly adverse.

The Wind-Down Entity’s real estate assets may not be liquidated at their recorded estimated net realizable value. The estimated net realizable value is an estimate of the amount that the Wind-Down Entity expects to realize from the sale of the real estate assets. The actual sales price and closing and other costs may differ from the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements. The estimated sales price and closing and other costs are estimated based on management’s analysis of current market conditions. The actual amounts realized will be based on negotiations between management and third party buyers. The actual amounts realized will likely be different than the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and the differences could be material and possibly adverse.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Wind-Down Entity’s general and administrative costs that are included in accrued liquidation costs may be different than the actual costs incurred. The estimated general and administrative costs may be different than the actual costs as the amounts may be greater than the amount estimated and the length of time required to complete the liquidation process may be longer than the time that was estimated. The actual amount of general and administrative costs will likely be different than the amounts included in the consolidated financial statement and the difference could be material.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any future recoveries from Causes of Action or any future Fair Funds Recoveries or future Forfeited Asset Recoveries. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the Liquidation Basis of Accounting, under which future cash flows are recorded only if the Company has the ability to reasonably estimate them. Because the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the future recoveries, if any, from Causes of Action or any future Fair Funds Recoveries or future Forfeited Asset Recoveries, such items have not been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the Company’s consolidated financial statements are not expected to provide prospective investors in the Liquidation Trust Interests with meaningful information regarding such future recoveries, the amount of which may be material to the Company’s net assets in liquidation.

If the Trust is unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, the accuracy and timeliness of its financial reporting may be adversely affected. If the Trust identifies one or more material weaknesses in the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting and such weakness remains uncorrected at fiscal year-end, the Trust may be required to disclose that such internal control is ineffective at fiscal year-end. Were this to occur, the Trust could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of its financial reports, which could have a material adverse effect on the Trust’s reputation and the value of the Liquidation Trust Interests.

Any decision on the part of the Company, as an “emerging growth company,” to choose reduced disclosures applicable to emerging growth companies could make the Liquidation Trust Interests less attractive to investors. The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Securities Act and, for so long as it continues to be an emerging growth company, it may choose to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies including, but not limited to, the requirement that internal control over financial reporting be audited by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure requirements regarding executive compensation and the extended transition period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards. The Company may take advantage of these provisions for up to five years or such earlier time that the Company is no longer an emerging growth company. No assurance can be given that this reduced reporting will not have an impact on the price of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests.

Any decision on the part of the Company, as a “smaller reporting company,” to provide scaled disclosures could make the Liquidation Trust Interests less attractive to investors. The Company is a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and, as such, it may choose to take advantage of the “scaled disclosure” requirements of Regulation S-K and Article 8 of Regulation S-X available to such issuers, including but not limited to the ability to pick and choose between scaled or non-scaled disclosure financial and non-financial disclosure requirements on an item-by-item basis. The Company may take advantage of these provisions for so long as it continues to qualify as a “smaller reporting company.” No assurance can be given that utilization of scaled disclosure will not negatively impact market perception of the Company and the price of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests.

Information technology, data security breaches and other similar events could harm the Company. The Company relies on information technology and other computer resources to perform operational activities as well as to maintain our business records and financial data. The Company’s computer systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, computer attacks by hackers, viruses, catastrophes, hardware and software failures and breach of data security protocols by our personnel or third-party service providers. Although the Company has implemented administrative and technical controls and taken other actions to minimize the risk of cyber incidents and otherwise protect our information technology, computer intrusion efforts are becoming increasingly sophisticated and even the controls that the Company has installed might be breached. Further, most of these computer resources are provided to the Company or are maintained on behalf of the Company by third-party service providers pursuant to agreements that specify certain security and service level standards, but which ultimately are outside of the Company’s control. Additionally, security breaches of the Company’s information technology systems could result in the misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure of proprietary, personal and confidential information which could result in significant financial or reputational damages to us.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following information contains forward-looking statements, which may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. See “Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included in the “Preliminary Note” of this Registration Statement for a description of these risks and uncertainties. The Trust, the Remaining Debtors, the Wind-Down Entity and the Wind-Down Subsidiaries are collectively referred to in this discussion as “the Company.”

Overview

Pursuant to the Plan, the Trust was formed on February 15, 2019 to hold, either directly or indirectly through the Wind-Down Group, the assets and equity interests formerly owned by the Debtors. Each of the real properties formerly owned by the Debtors is now owned by one of the Wind-Down Subsidiaries. The purpose of the Wind-Down Group is to develop (as applicable), market, and sell those properties to generate cash. Assets formerly owned by the Debtors other than real estate assets and certain cash are now owned by the Trust. The purpose of the Trust is to receive remittances of cash from the Wind-Down Entity, to resolve Disputed Claims, to prosecute the Causes of Action, to pay allowed Administrative and Priority claims against the Debtors (including professional fees), and, subject to the payment of Trust expenses and the retention of various reserves, to make distributions of cash to Interestholders in accordance with the Plan.

The Trust operates pursuant to the Plan and the Trust Agreement. The Trust was formed as a Delaware statutory trust and is administered by the Liquidation Trustee. The Wind-Down Entity, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trust operates pursuant to the Plan and the Wind-Down Entity LLC Agreement. The Wind-Down Entity was formed as a Delaware limited liability company and is administered by its Board of Managers, one of which is the Chief Executive Officer.

As of June 30, 2019, the number of Liquidation Trust Interests outstanding in each series is as follows:

Series of Interest
Number Outstanding
Class A Liquidation Trust Interests
 
11,433,623
 
Class B Liquidation Trust Interests
 
655,261
 

For each of the classes of Liquidation Trust Interests, the number of Liquidation Trust Interests outstanding will increase to the extent that Disputed Claims become Allowed Claims (as defined in the Plan).

Since the Plan Effective Date through June 30, 2019, the Wind-Down Group has disposed of approximately 68 properties for aggregate net sale proceeds of approximately $80.30 million. There can be no assurance that the amount of net sales proceeds that the Company will receive in the future will be consistent with the amount received during the period February 15, 2019 (inception) through June 30, 2019. The Company expects to complete the liquidation of its assets during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022.

Net assets in liquidation decreased approximately $53.52 million during the period from February 15, 2019 (inception) through June 30, 2019. This decrease was due to distributions declared of approximately $44.69 million which is net of $.01 million that was reversed for disallowed claims and changes in carrying value of assets and liabilities, net of $8.83 million. The components of the changes in carrying value of assets and liabilities, net are as follows ($ in millions):

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The majority of the revaluation of real estate and all of the decrease in construction costs are a result of a change in strategy for one real estate asset.

During the period from February 15, 2019 (inception) through June 30, 2019, the Company:

Declared a distribution of $3.75 per Class A Liquidation Trust Interest, which totaled approximately $44.70 million.
Completed construction of two single family homes (1966 Carla Ridge and 25211 Jim Bridger). These homes are currently listed for sale.
Paid construction costs of approximately $22.48 million relating to the single family homes under development.
Sold six single family homes, 57 lots, settled two loans and sold three other properties for net proceeds of approximately $80.30 million.
Signed agreements to settle Causes of Action of approximately $1.66 million.
Received Fair Funds Recoveries from the SEC of approximately $1.24 million.
Paid holding and financing costs of approximately $3.50 million.
Paid general and administrative costs of approximately $6.99 million, including approximately $.49 million of board member fees and expenses and approximately $3.58 million of post Plan Effective Date professional fees.
Paid professional fees incurred before the Plan Effective Date of approximately $5.43 million.
Recorded additional accrued liquidation costs, of approximately $3.17 million (net), consisting primarily of the CEO’s bonus accrual and additional state taxes for periods before the Plan Effective Date.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

The Company’s primary sources for meeting its capital requirements are its cash, its revolving line of credit availability, proceeds from the sale of its real estate assets and recoveries on Causes of Action. The Company’s primary uses of funds are and will continue to be for development costs, holding costs and general and administrative costs, all of which the Company expects to be able to adequately fund over the next 12 months from its primary sources of capital.

Capital Resources

In addition to consolidated cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2019 of approximately $38.36 million (of which approximately $3.36 million is restricted), the capital resources available to the Company and its uses of liquidity are as follows:

Revolving Line of Credit

On April 9, 2019, the Wind-Down Entity entered into a $27.65 million revolving line of credit with a financial institution. The borrower under the line of credit is WB Propco, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Wind-Down Entity formed in connection with the line of credit. Borrowings by WB Propco, LLC under the line of credit are guaranteed by the Wind-Down Entity and four subsidiaries of WB Propco. The obligations of WB Propco, LLC’s four subsidiaries under the line of credit are secured by liens on an aggregate of four properties. The carrying value of the collateral for the line of credit was approximately $117 million at June 30, 2019. Borrowings under the line of credit are secured by a deed of trust, fixture filing, assignment of rents and security agreement from each of the property subsidiaries. The line of credit matures on May 1, 2020 and the outstanding borrowings bear interest at the prime rate (the prime rate was 5.50% at June 30, 2019). The interest rate is adjusted monthly but can never be lower than 5.25% per annum. Interest is payable monthly. The line of credit provides that upon the sale of one of the properties that is collateral for the line of credit, the outstanding balance, if any, is to be paid down in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the Release Amount, as defined, for the sold property and (b) the then current outstanding principal amount and other amounts owing under the line of credit. In addition, the amount of the line of credit is reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Loan Amount, as defined, for the property that was sold.

29

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As of June 30, 2019, no amounts were outstanding under the line of credit. On September 12, 2019, one of the properties that was collateral for the line of credit was sold and the amount available for borrowing under the line of credit was reduced to $25.38 million.

Sales of Real Estate

The Wind-Down Group is in the process of developing, marketing and selling its real estate assets, all of which are held for sale, with the exception of the 14 single family homes which were under development as of June 30, 2019. There can be no assurance as to the amount of net proceeds that the Company will receive from the sale of its real estate assets or when the net sales proceeds will be received. The net proceeds from the sales of real estate for the period from February 15, 2019 through June 30, 2019 may not be indicative of future net proceeds, which may be significantly lower. In addition, it may take longer to sell the properties than the Company has estimated.

Recoveries

During the period from February 15, 2019 (inception) through June 30, 2019, the Company recognized approximately $1.66 million from the settlement of Causes of Action and approximately $1.24 million from the SEC of Fair Funds Recoveries. The SEC remitted these amounts to the Company from civil penalties the SEC recovered because of activities that violated securities regulations. The Fair Funds Recoveries are to be distributed to the Company’s interestholders. There can be no assurance that the amounts the Company recovers from settling Causes of Action, from Fair Funds Recoveries and Forfeited Asset Recoveries in the future will be consistent with the amount recovered during the period from February 15, 2019 (inception) through June 30, 2019.

Uses of Liquidity

The primary uses of the Company’s liquidity are to pay (a) development costs, (b) holding costs, and (c) general and administrative costs. As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s total liabilities were approximately $192.50 million. The estimated costs recorded during the period from February 15, 2019 (inception) through June 30, 2019 may not be indicative of the costs in future periods, which may be significantly higher.

Given current cash balances, projected sales, availability under the line of credit, Causes of Action recoveries, and expected cash needs, the Company does not expect a deficiency in liquidity in the next 12 months. Due to the uncertain nature of future net sales proceeds, recoveries and costs to be incurred, it is not possible to be certain that the current liquidity will be adequate to cover all future financial needs of the Company. Creating contingent obligation agreements and/or seeking methods to reduce professional costs, including legal fees, and administrative costs are strategies that could be undertaken to address liquidity issues should they arise. These strategies could impact the Company’s ability to maximize recoveries from the settlement of Causes of Action.

Distributions

Distributions will be made at the sole discretion of the Liquidation Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Trust Agreement. As of June 30, 2019, the Liquidation Trustee has declared one distribution to the Class A Interestholders. In total, the aggregate amount of the March 29, 2019 cash distribution was approximately $44.70 million. Of this amount, approximately $42.31 million was paid to holders of Class A Liquidation Trust Interests on March 29, 2019. An additional amount of approximately $.56 million was paid to holders of Class A Liquidation Trust interests as additional claims were Allowed during the period from March 29, 2019 through June 30, 2019. An amount of approximately $.01 million was released from the restricted cash account and distributions declared were reduced by the same amount in respect to disallowed claims during the period from March 29, 2019 through June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, approximately $1.81 million from that distribution remains in a restricted cash account in respect of unresolved claims.

The Liquidation Trustee will continue to assess the adequacy of funds held and expects to make one or more additional distributions of excess Trust assets to Interestholders, but does not currently know the timing or amount of any such distributions(s).

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2019, the Company has contractual commitments related to construction contracts totaling approximately $75 million. The Company expects to complete the construction of these single family homes by the end of its fiscal year ending June 20, 2022. The Company has an office lease that expires in August 2020. The Company expects that it will lease office space until the liquidation process is completed.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2019, the Company did not have off-balance sheet arrangements, other than those disclosed under contractual obligations, that have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements, liquidity or capital resources.

Inflation

Until the Company completes liquidation of its assets, the Company may be exposed to inflation risks relating to increases in the costs of construction and other accrued liquidation costs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Practices

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The accounting policies and practices that the Company believes are the most critical are discussed below. These accounting policies and practices require management to make decisions on subjective and/or complex matters that may inherently be uncertain.

Estimates are required to prepare the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP. Significant estimates, judgments and assumptions are required in a number of areas, including, but not limited to, the sales price of real estate assets, selling costs, development costs, holding costs and general and administrative costs to be incurred until the completion of the liquidation of the Company. In many instances changes in the accounting estimates are likely to occur from period to period. Actual results may differ from the estimates. The Company believes that the current assumptions and other considerations used in the consolidated financial statements are appropriate. However, if actual experience differs from the assumptions and other considerations used in estimating amounts reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the resulting changes could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s net assets in liquidation.

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

Under Liquidation Basis of Accounting, all assets are recorded at their estimated net realizable value or liquidation value, which represents the estimated amount of net cash that may be received upon the disposition of the assets (on an undiscounted basis). Liabilities are measured in accordance with US GAAP that otherwise applies to those liabilities.

The Company has not recorded any amount from future settlement of Causes of Action, Fair Funds or Forfeited Asset Recoveries in the accompanying consolidated financial statements because they cannot be reasonable estimated.

Valuation of Real Estate

The measurement of real estate assets held for sale is based on current contracts (if any), estimates and other indications of sales value, net of estimated selling costs.

Accrued Liquidation Costs

The estimated costs associated with implementing and completing the Company’s plan of liquidation are recorded as accrued liquidation costs. The Company has also recorded the estimated development costs to be incurred to prepare the assets for sale as well as the estimated holding costs to be incurred until the projected sale date and the estimated general and administrative costs to be incurred until the completion of the liquidation of the Company.

31

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Changes in Carrying Value

On a quarterly basis, the Company will review the estimated fair values and liquidation costs and record any significant variances. The Company will also revalue an asset when it is under contract for sale and the buyer’s contingencies have been removed. During the period that this occurs, the carrying value of the asset and the estimated closing and other costs will be adjusted, if necessary. If the Company has a change in its plan for the disposition of an asset, the carrying value will be adjusted to reflect this change in the period that the change is approved. The change in value may include a change to the accrued liquidation costs related to the asset.

All changes in the estimated liquidation value of the Company’s assets, real estate held for sale and other assets, and liabilities are reflected as a change to the Company’s net assets in liquidation.

Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As of June 30, 2019, the Company does not have any market risk exposure as defined by SEC Regulation 229.305. If the Company were to borrow under its line of credit, it would be exposed to the impact of interest rate changes on the line of credit.

Item 3.   Properties

The principal consolidated assets of the Company consist of cash, real estate assets, other assets, and Causes of Action.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s real estate assets had an aggregate estimated net realizable value of approximately $481.68 million. As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s accrued liquidation costs related to the development and holding of the Company’s real estate assets were $119.86 and $14.94 million, respectively.

(1)All the properties identified on this table as development properties are being constructed as single family homes except for the New York property, which is being constructed as a townhouse.
(2)All of the properties identified on this table as available for sale are newly constructed single family homes except for the Carolwood property, which is an existing single family home and 9230 Robin Dr., which is a residential lot.

The Company expects that construction of nine homes will be completed during fiscal year 2020, construction of an additional four homes will be completed during fiscal year 2021, and construction of a single additional home will be completed during fiscal year 2022. Although this construction schedule is based on assumptions believed to be reasonable, residential real property construction is subject to many potential risks and delays, and no assurance can be given that the anticipated completion schedule will be realized.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As of June 30, 2019, the Company owned 25 single family homes. Fourteen of the single family homes were under construction and the other 11 were held for sale. The aggregate estimated net realizable value of the single family homes under construction and the single family homes held for sale was approximately $265.34 million and $182.88 million, respectively. During the period from July 1, 2019 through September 30, 2019, four single family homes held for sale were sold for net proceeds of approximately $18.13 million.

As of June 30, 2019, in addition to the 25 single family homes (under development and available for sale), the Company also owned 70 real estate assets that were held for sale. These assets included 35 lots, 20 secured loans and 15 other properties. Of the lots, three are located in Los Angeles, California and 32 are located in Colorado. The loans are secured by properties located primarily in the Midwest and eastern United States. The other properties are located primarily in Colorado, Hawaii and the Midwest. The aggregate estimated net realizable value of the non-single family home real estate assets held for sale was approximately $33.46 million. During the period from July 1, 2019 through September 15, 2019, ten lots and two other properties were sold and one secured loan was settled for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $20.96 million.

The sale of properties requires no approval by the Bankruptcy Court. Approval of the sale of properties by the Trust is required, and the procedure for such approval is the subject of an agreed-upon protocol between the Trust and the Wind-Down Entity. Under the protocol, which is subject to change from time to time, the Trust has approved in advance the sale of all except three specified properties, provided that the price of the property proposed to be sold is at or above the approved low-case price for such property in the Wind-Down Group’s business plan. In case of the three specified properties, the Wind-Down Entity is required to obtain the Trust’s approval for any sale, regardless of price. Additionally, under the protocol, the Liquidation Trustee is entitled to participate, ex officio, in all meetings of the Board of Managers of the Wind-Down Entity.

Item 4.   Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The Trust does not have any securities that vote for the election of the Liquidation Trustee and, consequently, does not have any “voting securities” within the meaning of the Exchange Act and the regulations under such statute applicable to the disclosure of 5% holders of voting securities. The Liquidation Trustee, the Board of Managers and the executive officers of the Wind-Down Entity are not the beneficial owners of any of the Liquidation Trust Interests. Other than the requirements and procedures for removal and replacement of the Liquidation Trustee or a member of the Supervisory Board (see “E. Operations and Management of the Company” under “Item 1. Business” of this Registration Statement), the Liquidation Trustee has no knowledge of any arrangements which may result in a change of control of the Trust.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the equity securities of the Trust beneficially owned by each member of the Supervisory Board, the Liquidation Trustee and each executive officer named in the Summary Compensation Table (see “Item 6. Executive Compensation” of this Registration Statement), and all members of the Supervisory Board, the Liquidation Trustee and all executive officers of the Wind-Down Entity as a group on June 30, 2019:

Item 5.   Directors and Executive Officers

The Liquidation Trustee

The Trust does not have directors or executive officers. All of the management and executive authority over the Trust resides in the Liquidation Trustee, subject to the supervision of the Supervisory Board.

Michael I. Goldberg, Esq., the Liquidation Trustee, age 56, has served as the Liquidation Trustee since inception of the Trust on February 15, 2019. Prior to that time, Mr. Goldberg served as a member of the Debtors’ independent Board of Managers, and had been the SEC’s designee to that Board. Mr. Goldberg was unanimously selected to be the Liquidation Trustee by the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee, the Noteholder Committee, and the Unitholder Committee in the Debtors’ Bankruptcy Cases. Mr. Goldberg has been a partner in the law firm of Akerman LLP since 1997, where he is chair of the Fraud & Recovery Practice Group, a comprehensive fraud management team focusing on Ponzi schemes, receiverships, and EB-5 fraud. Mr. Goldberg has managed some of the largest Ponzi scheme liquidation recoveries in United States history and routinely testifies as a qualified expert witness on Ponzi schemes in federal and state court cases. Mr. Goldberg currently is the Receiver for Jay Peak and Q Resort, Inc., the owners and operators of a ski resort in northern Vermont. For over 25 years, Mr. Goldberg has practiced law in the area of fraud and recovery and bankruptcy and reorganizations, regularly serving a court-appointed fiduciary in unwinding Ponzi schemes. Mr. Goldberg holds Bachelor of Arts and Juris Doctor degrees from Boston University and a Master’s of Business Administration from New York University. He is admitted to practice law in state and federal courts in Florida and New York.

The Liquidation Trustee serves for the duration of the Trust, subject to earlier death, resignation or removal. The Liquidation Trustee may resign at any time by giving the Interestholders and the Supervisory Board at least sixty (60) days written notice of his or her intention to do so. A Liquidation Trustee may be removed and replaced by an order of the Bankruptcy Court upon the motion of the Supervisory Board and a showing of good cause, except that any proposed removal and replacement of Michael Goldberg as Liquidation Trustee will require a determination by the Bankruptcy Court that “cause” exists for such removal and replacement using the standard under Bankruptcy Code section 1104 made after notice of such proposed removal and replacement has been provided to the SEC. Under Bankruptcy Code section 1104, “cause” includes fraud, dishonesty, incompetence, or gross mismanagement of the affairs of the Trust.

(1)Includes all individuals who may be considered the executive officers of the Trust or the Wind-Down Entity. Each of such individuals has occupied his or her respective current position since February 15, 2019.
(2)For the period from February 15, 2019 through June 30, 2019.
(3)Bonuses are attributed to the fiscal year with respect to which they are earned rather than paid.
(4)In addition to salary and bonus, the named executive officers (other than Mr. Goldberg) may receive other annual compensation in the form of perquisites and personal benefits. For fiscal 2019, the total value of such perquisites and personal benefits did not exceed $10,000 in the aggregate for any named executive officer.
(5)Incentive compensation equal to 5% of total gross amounts recovered by the Trust from the pursuit of Causes of Action.

Liquidation Trustee of the Trust

As compensation in respect of service as Liquidation Trustee, Mr. Goldberg is entitled to (i) base compensation at an hourly rate of $550 per hour for 2018, with 10% rate raises commencing at the beginning of calendar years 2019 and 2020 and (ii) incentive compensation equal to 5% of total gross amounts recovered by the Trust from the pursuit of Causes of Action. Mr. Goldberg is not entitled to equity compensation, perquisites or personal benefits.

Mr. Goldberg’s base compensation was not determined by the Supervisory Board, but instead was established by, and the amount is fixed under, the Trust Agreement. Such base compensation cannot be modified except by amendment of the Trust Agreement. Amendment of the Trust Agreement effecting a modification of the compensation of the Supervisory Board would require either (a) an order of the Bankruptcy Court or (b) a written amendment signed by the Liquidation Trustee, which amendment has received the prior written approval of a majority of the members of the Supervisory Board. It is the understanding of the Supervisory Board that the base compensation is intended to compensate Mr. Goldberg for his time spent performing services as Liquidation Trustee. The Supervisory Board believes that base compensation at an hourly rate is standard and customary for bankruptcy and insolvency trustees, and that $550 does not exceed Mr. Goldberg’s customary hourly rate for legal services performed by him as a partner of Akerman LLP.

Mr. Goldberg’s incentive compensation has been determined by the Supervisory Board, in the exercise of its discretion as authorized by the Trust Agreement, as five percent (5%) of the total gross proceeds recovered by the Trust from the pursuit of Causes of Action by the Trust. Such incentive compensation is intended to compensate Mr. Goldberg for services performed above and beyond the time commitment required of the Liquidation Trustee. The Supervisory Board believes that incentive compensation based on the value of recoveries on Causes of Action is standard and customary for bankruptcy and insolvency trustees, and is designed to maximize the value of recoveries on Causes of Action and appropriately align the economic interests of the Liquidation Trustee with those of the Trust.

Payment of compensation to the Liquidation Trustee or his professionals in connection with any individual request for compensation is subject to the following procedures, specified in the Trust Agreement:

the Liquidation Trustee must submit to the Supervisory Board an itemized statement or statements reflecting all fees and itemized costs to be reimbursed;
after seven (7) days after the delivery of the statements, the amount reflected in the statements may be paid by the Trust unless, prior to the expiration of such seven-day period, the Supervisory Board has objected in writing to any compensation reflected in the Statement; and

38

TABLE OF CONTENTS

in the case of any Supervisory Board objection to payment, the undisputed amounts may be paid and the disputed amounts may only be paid by agreement of the Supervisory Board, or pursuant to order of the Bankruptcy Court, which retains jurisdiction over all disputes regarding the Liquidation Trustee’s and his or her professionals’ compensation.

Chief Executive Officer of the Wind-Down Entity

The Wind-Down Entity and its Chief Executive Officer Frederick Chin are parties to an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated July 31, 2019. The term of the employment agreement expires on August 15, 2021, subject to two additional consecutive renewals of one fiscal quarter each if the wind down of the Wind-Down Group remains to be completed. Under the employment agreement, Mr. Chin is entitled to an annual base salary and incentive compensation. Mr. Chin’s annual base salary is $750,000, subject to annual increase not to exceed 10% of the prior year’s annual base salary based on a merit review by the Board of Managers.

Mr. Chin is eligible for certain potential bonuses based on the cumulative amount of distributions of cash made by the Wind-Down Entity to the Trust during certain specified periods as set forth in the table below. For each period, a threshold amount of distributions must be made during such period for any bonus to be earned. Any bonuses earned are to be paid within 30 days of the end of the applicable period, however, Mr. Chin will not be entitled to any bonus regardless of the cumulative amount of distributions in any period if Mr. Chin is terminated by the Wind-Down Entity for “Cause” or if Mr. Chin voluntarily resigns other than for “Good Reason” before (i) September 14, 2021 with respect to a category A bonus or (ii) within 30 days of the end of the applicable period with respect to a category B bonus, in each case as identified in the chart below. For purposes of determining the amount of cumulative distributions during the period for a category B bonus, cash amounts collected by the Wind-Down Group but not distributed to the Trust during any such period may be counted in cumulative distributions for such period so long as the Board of Managers of the Wind-Down Entity certifies that such cash will be distributed to the Trust in a subsequent period.

If Mr. Chin’s employment is terminated by the Wind-Down Entity without “Cause,” or if Mr. Chin resigns for “Good Reason,” Mr. Chin will be entitled, in addition to accrued salary and earned but unpaid bonuses, continued base salary for the remainder of the term of the Employment Agreement plus payments of the bonus amounts as set forth in the chart above to which Mr. Chin would have been entitled if he had remained employed during the entire term of the employment agreement (such bonus amounts to be paid if and when otherwise due under the employment agreement). If Mr. Chin’s employment is terminated by his death or disability, Mr. Chin or his estate will be entitled to receive, in addition to accrued salary and earned but unpaid bonuses, payments of the bonus amounts set forth in the chart above to which Mr. Chin would have been entitled if he had remained employed during the entire term of the employment agreement (such bonus amounts to be paid if and when otherwise due under the employment agreement), prorated on the basis of the distributions actually made prior to the effective date of termination for the period(s) applicable to the bonus determination.

The Wind-Down Entity is obligated, under the employment agreement, the Wind-Down Entity LLC Agreement and an Indemnification Agreement with Mr. Chin dated February 27, 2019, to indemnify and hold harmless Mr. Chin from and against certain liabilities, losses, damages and expense incurred by him by reason of his acts or omissions as an officer of the Wind-Down Entity.

Under the employment agreement, Mr. Chin is entitled to four weeks of paid vacation each year and Mr. Chin and his eligible dependents are entitled to participate in the Wind-Down Entity’s health, dental vision and life insurance coverages.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Neither the Trust nor the Wind-Down Entity has a compensation committee or other board committee performing equivalent functions. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, all members of the Supervisory Board participated in deliberations regarding Mr. Goldberg’s and Mr. Chin’s compensation, without participation by any other officer and employee of the Trust or the Wind-Down Entity. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, all members of the Board of Managers, and Mr. Goldberg, participated in deliberations concerning compensation of the executive officers of the Wind-Down Entity.

Compensation of Supervisory Board and Board of Managers

Each member of the Supervisory Board receives, as compensation in respect of service on the Supervisory Board, (i) $10,000 per month through January 31, 2020, (ii) $7,500 per month from February 1, 2020 through

40

TABLE OF CONTENTS

January 31, 2021, (iii) $5,000 per month from February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2022, and (iv) $2,500 per month for each calendar month thereafter until termination of the Trust in accordance with the Plan (prorated as appropriate if a member commences his or her service other than on the first day of a month or terminates his or her service other than on the last day of a month). Supervisory Board members also are entitled to reimbursement by the Trust of all actual, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their service on the Supervisory Board.

The compensation of the Supervisory Board was not determined by the Supervisory Board, but instead was established by, and is fixed under, the Trust Agreement and cannot be modified except by amendment of the Trust Agreement. An amendment of the Trust Agreement effecting a modification in the compensation of the Supervisory Board would require either (a) an order of the Bankruptcy Court or (b) a written amendment signed by the Liquidation Trustee, which amendment has received the prior written approval of a majority of the members of the Supervisory Board.

Each member of the Board of Managers (other than the CEO) receives, as compensation in respect of service on the Board of Managers, (i) $20,000 per month through January 31, 2020 and (ii) $15,000 per month for each calendar month of service thereafter. The Wind-Down Entity is required to reimburse each Manager in respect of all actual, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Manager in accordance with Wind-Down Entity policies.

Item 7.   Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Supervisory Board Member Independence

The Supervisory Board has chosen the director independence standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) to determine the independence of the members of the Supervisory Board. The Trust is not, however, a company listed with the NYSE and does not intend to apply for listing with the NYSE. Furthermore, the Trust believes that, if it were a NYSE-listed company, the Supervisory Board would be exempt from the director independence requirements of the NYSE by reason of one or more available exemptions from such requirements, including exemptions for companies in bankruptcy proceedings, passive business organizations in the form of trusts, and the issuers of special purpose securities.

Applying the NYSE independence standard, the Supervisory Board has determined that all of its members other than Terry Goebel are independent. In making this determination, the Supervisory Board concluded that neither the fees paid by the Trust in respect of service on the Supervisory Board nor the ownership of Liquidation Trust Interests by any member of the Supervisory Board precluded a finding of independence. Furthermore, the Supervisory Board determined that the participation by Mr. Beynon, or his family trust, in a class action against Comerica Bank (see “Item 8. Legal Proceedings” of this Registration Statement) does not constitute a material relationship with the Trust or any of its subsidiaries, either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of any organization that has a relationship with the company.

The Supervisory Board was unable to determine the absence of a material relationship between the Wind-Down Group and Supervisory Board member Terry Goebel, who is president and a principal owner of G3 Group LA, a construction firm specializing in the development of high-end, luxury residences. G3 Group LA is owned by Terry Goebel and his son Kelly Goebel. The Wind-Down Group is under contract with G3 Group LA for the development of two residential real properties in the Los Angeles area (the “G3 Contracts”). The approximate aggregate estimated dollar value of the transactions under the G3 Contracts as of June 30, 2019 is $42.8 million, of which $17.0 million was unpaid as of June 30, 2019.

The Trust has a written Related Person Transaction Policy. It requires that any “Related Person Transaction” to which the Trust is a participant must be reviewed and approved in advance by Supervisory Board and any “Related Person Transaction” to which the Wind-Down Group is a participant must be reviewed and approved in advance by the Board of Managers (the applicable board, in each instance, whether the Supervisory Board or the Board of Managers, the “Applicable Board”). Under the policy, a “Related Person Transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) that occurred since the beginning of the Trust’s most recent fiscal year in which the Trust (including any of its subsidiaries) was, is or will be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any Related Person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. For purposes of this policy, a “Related Person” means:

41

TABLE OF CONTENTS

any person who is, or at any time since the beginning of the Trust’s last fiscal year was, the Liquidation Trustee, a member of the Supervisory Board, a member of the Board of Managers, an executive officer of the Wind-Down Entity or a nominee to become a member of the Board of Managers or a more than 5% beneficial owner of the Trust;
any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons, which means any child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law of the Liquidation Trustee, a member of the Board of Managers, an executive officer of the Wind-Down Entity, or a nominee to become a member of the Board of Managers, or a more than 5% beneficial owner of the Trust, and any person (other than domestic employees or tenant) sharing the household of any such person; and
any firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing persons is employed or is a partner or principal or in a similar position or in which such person has a 5% or greater beneficial ownership interest.

The following transactions are not considered Related Person Transactions for purposes of this policy: (a) base compensation for services rendered as the Liquidation Trustee, paid in accordance with the Liquidation Trust Agreement; (b) compensation for services rendered as a member of the Supervisory Board, paid in accordance with the Liquidation Trust Agreement; (c) in accordance with the Liquidation Trust Agreement, reimbursement of expenses incurred by the Liquidation Trustee or any member of the Supervisory Board incurred in the ordinary course of carrying out their respective responsibilities in such capacities; (d) any transaction where the rates or charges involved in the transaction are determined by competitive bids; or (e) any transaction that involves the rendering of services at rates or charges fixed in conformity with law or governmental authority.

Furthermore, neither the G3 Contracts nor the payment or performance by the Wind-Down Group of its obligations thereunder in accordance with the current terms thereof are considered a Related Person Transaction for purposes of the policy. The G3 Contracts were entered into between the Debtors and G3 before the organization of the Trust and did not require any review, approval or ratification under the Related Person Transaction Policy.

Under the policy, the Applicable Board is to consider all of the relevant facts and circumstances available, including (if applicable), but not limited to:

The benefits to the Trust and the Wind-Down Entity;
The impact on the independence of a member of the Supervisory Board or the Board of Managers in the event the Related Person is a member of the Supervisory Board, a member of the Board of Managers, an immediate family member of any such member, or an entity in which any such member is a director, officer, manager, principal, member, partner, shareholder or executive officer;
The availability of other sources for comparable products or services;
The terms of the transaction; and
The terms available to unrelated third parties and employees generally.

The policy prohibits any member of the Applicable Board from participating in any review, consideration or approval of any Related Person Transaction with respect to which such member or any of his or her immediate family members is the Related Person. The Applicable Board may approve only those Related Person Transactions that are in, or are not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Trust and their stakeholders, as the Applicable Board determines in good faith. In addition, no immediate family member of the Liquidation Trustee or any member of the Supervisory Board, member of the Board or Managers, or executive officer of the Wind-Down Group may be hired as an employee of the Trust or the Wind-Down Group unless the employment arrangement is approved in advance by the Applicable Board. In the event a person becomes a director or executive officer of the Trust or the Wind-Down Group and an immediate family member of such person is already an employee of the Trust or the Wind-Down Group, no material change in the terms of employment, including compensation, may be made without the prior approval of the Applicable Board (except, if the immediate family member is himself or herself an executive officer of the Trust or the Wind-Down Group, any proposed change in the terms of employment must be reviewed and approved in the same manner as other executive officer compensatory arrangements).

The Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board has the authority, subject to a final review by all disinterested members of the Supervisory Board, to review and approve all Related Person Transactions in which the Trust is a participant.

Item 8.   Legal Proceedings

The following is a description of pending litigation as of June 30, 2019:

Comerica Bank litigation. There are two pending actions in the United States District Court of the Central District of California against Comerica Bank, the institution at which the Debtors maintained all of their bank accounts, alleging various causes of action:

(1) In re Woodbridge Investments Litigation, Case No. 2:18-cv-00103-DMG-MRW (C.D. Cal.) is a consolidated class action brought on behalf of former Noteholders and Unitholders against Comerica Bank. It is comprised of five separate lawsuits, each of which currently has its own operative complaint with specific causes of action against Comerica:

Jay Beynon Family Trust DTD 10/23/1998, et al. v. Comerica Bank, Case No. 2:18-cv-00103-DMG (C.D. Cal., filed Jan. 4, 2018): The First Amended Complaint (filed February 9, 2018) alleges causes of action for aiding and abetting fraud; aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, and violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200 et seq.
Prince, et al. v. Comerica Bank, Case No. 2:18-cv-00430-DMG (C.D. Cal., filed Jan. 17. 2018): The Complaint alleges causes of action for aiding and abetting fraud, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, gross negligence, unjust enrichment, violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200 et seq., and violation of Cal. Corp. Code § 25504.1
Landman, et al. v. Comerica Bank, Case No. 2:18-cv-00471-DMG (C.D. Cal., filed Jan. 18, 2018): The Complaint alleges causes of action for aiding and abetting fraud, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, and negligence
Gordon, et al. v. Comerica Bank, Case No. 2:18-cv-01298-DMG (C.D. Cal., filed Feb. 16, 2018): The Complaint alleges causes of action for aiding and abetting fraud, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, and violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200 et seq.
Baker, et al. v. Comerica Bank, Case No. 2:18-cv-03533 (C.D. Cal., filed Apr. 26, 2018): The Complaint alleges causes of action for aiding and abetting fraud, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, and negligence.

Lead Class Counsel has been appointed in the consolidated litigation, and intends to file a consolidated amended complaint setting forth a single set of claims against Comerica on behalf of the putative class of former Noteholders and Unitholders once a consensual stay of the consolidated action has been lifted. The Trust holds a beneficial interest of approximately 60% of this action based on the claims contributed to the Trust by former Noteholders and Unitholders.

(2) Goldberg v. Comerica Bank, Case No, 2:19-cv-03439-DMG-SS (C.D. Cal., filed Apr. 26, 2019) is an action by the Trust against Comerica Bank alleging fraudulent transfer liability. The Trust has also asserted that to the extent any claims against Comerica Bank in the class action (referenced in the prior paragraph) are determined to belong to the Trust rather than to individual former Noteholders and Unitholders, those claims against Comerica Bank would be prosecuted in this independent action.

Avoidance actions. The Trust is currently prosecuting numerous legal actions, and informally pursuing numerous other potential legal actions, to object to, subordinate, and/or reclassify claims asserted against the Debtors and/or to recover preferential payments, fraudulent transfers, and other funds subject to recovery by the bankruptcy estate. The Trust may file additional legal actions of this nature in the future. Such actions generally fall into the following categories:

Preferential transfers.   These actions, which arise under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code, are to avoid or recover payments made by the Debtors during the 90 days prior to the December 4, 2017 bankruptcy filing, including payments to miscellaneous vendors and former Noteholders and Unitholders.

43

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Fraudulent transfers (Interest to Noteholders and Unitholders).   These actions, which arise under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code, are to avoid or recover payments made by the Debtors during the course of the Ponzi scheme (from July 2012 through the December 4, 2017 bankruptcy filing) for interest paid to former Noteholders and Unitholders.
Fraudulent transfers (Shapiro personal expenses).   These actions, which arise under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code, are to avoid and recover payments made by the Debtors during the course of the Ponzi scheme (from July 2012 through the December 4, 2017 bankruptcy filing) for the personal expenses of Robert and Jeri Shapiro, including those identified in a forensic report prepared in connection with an SEC enforcement action in the United States District for the Southern District of Florida.

In addition, other legal proceedings are being prosecuted by United States governmental authorities, which actions may result in recoveries in favor of the Trust. Additional legal proceedings of this nature may be commenced in the future. Such actions currently include:

Fraudulent transfers and fraud (former agents).   These actions, which arise under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code, are to avoid and recover payments made by the Debtors during the course of the Ponzi scheme (from July 2012 through the December 4, 2017 bankruptcy filing) for commissions to former agents, as well as for fraud and related claims asserted by the Trust based on claims contributed to the Trust by defrauded investors. Actions of this type are being pursued also by the SEC, and it is the Trust’s understanding that any recoveries obtained by the SEC will be transmitted to the Trust pursuant to a “Fair Fund” established by the SEC.
Actions regarding Shapiro personal assets.   These are actions based on a number of legal theories, including but not limited to, fraud, turnover, fraudulent transfer and breach of fiduciary duty, to recover monies and other assets held in the names of Robert Shapiro, Jeri Shapiro and their family members and entities controlled by them, which assets are beneficially owned by the Debtors or for which the Debtors are entitled to recover based on the Shapiros’ defalcations. The DOJ is pursuing forfeiture of assets from Robert and Jeri Shapiro. The Trust is engaged in discussions with the DOJ regarding the transfer by the DOJ to the Trust of any forfeited assets for distribution to the Interestholders.

Item 9.   Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

As of the date of this Registration Statement, the Liquidation Trust Interests have not been listed on any national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, OTC Bulletin Board or any automated quotation system. Furthermore, until the effectiveness of this Registration Statement, the Liquidation Trust Interests cannot be transferred except by operation of law or by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Accordingly, there is no established market for any class of Liquidation Trust Interests. However, the Trust is required under the Trust Agreement to use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause an Exchange Act registration of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests to become effective, and for the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests to be quoted with an OTC ticker symbol, as soon as reasonably practicable.

As of June 30, 2019, there were approximately 7,833 holders of record of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests and approximately 1,125 holders of record of the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests.

Any distributions made to the Interestholders will be paid from cash received or generated by the Trust, subject to, among other things, the establishment of reasonable reserves for contingent liabilities and future costs and expenses. Pursuant to the Plan and the Trust Agreement, all distributions are net of any costs and expenses incurred by the Trust in connection with administering, litigating or otherwise resolving the various Causes of Action of the Trust and operating the Trust. Amounts withheld and not distributed may also include fees and expenses of the Liquidation Trustee, premiums for directors and officers insurance, and other insurance and fees and expenses of attorneys and consultants. Distributions will be made only from assets of the Trust and only to the extent that the Trust has sufficient assets (over reserves for contingent liabilities and future costs and expenses, among other things) to make such payments in accordance with the Plan and the Trust Agreement. No distribution is required to be made to any Interestholder unless such Interestholder is to receive in such distribution at least $10.00 or unless such distribution is the final distribution to such Interestholder pursuant to the Plan and the Trust Agreement.

Distributions will be made at the sole discretion of the Liquidation Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Trust Agreement. As of June 30, 2019, the Liquidation Trustee has declared one distribution to

44

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Class A Interestholders. In total, the aggregate amount of the March 29, 2019 cash distribution was approximately $44.70 million. Of this amount, approximately $42.31 million was paid to holders of Class A Liquidation Trust Interests on March 29, 2019. An additional amount of approximately $.56 million was paid to holders of Class A Liquidation Trust Interests as additional claims were Allowed during the period from March 29, 2019 through June 30, 2019. An amount of approximately $.01 million was released from the restricted cash account and distributions declared were reduced by the same amount in respect to disallowed claims during the period from March 29, 2019 through June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, approximately $1.81 million from that distribution remains in a restricted cash account in respect of unresolved claims.

Item 10.   Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

In accordance with the Plan, Liquidation Trust Interests were issued on the Plan Effective Date and from time to time thereafter as soon as practicable as and when Claims in respect of which Liquidation Trust Interests were issuable have become Allowed. As of June 30, 2019, the aggregate number of outstanding Class A Liquidation Trust Interests was 11,433,623 and the aggregate number of outstanding Class B Liquidation Trust Interests was 655,261.

The issuance of Liquidation Trust Interests has occurred in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Section 1145(a)(1) exempts the offer and sale of securities under a plan of reorganization from registration under the Securities Act and state securities laws and regulation if (i) the securities are offered and sold under a plan of reorganization and are securities of the debtor, of an affiliate of the debtor participating in a joint plan with the debtor, or of a successor to the debtor under the plan; (ii) the recipients of the securities hold a pre-petition or administrative claim against the debtor or an interest in the debtor; and (iii) the securities are issued entirely in exchange for the recipient’s claim against or interest in the debtor, or principally in such exchange and partly for cash or property. The Trust believes that the Liquidation Trust Interests are securities of a “successor” to the Debtors within the meaning of Section 1145(a)(1), and such securities were issued under the Plan entirely in exchange for Allowed Claims in Class 3, Class 4, and Class 5, as described in greater detail in “Item 11. Description of Securities to be Registered” of this Registration Statement.

Item 11.   Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered

The Liquidation Trust Interests consist of Class A Liquidation Trust Interests and Class B Liquidation Trust Interests. Three classes of claimants in the Bankruptcy Cases received, or upon allowance of their claims may receive, Liquidation Trust Interests. See “D. Plan Provisions Regarding the Company2. Treatment under the Plan of holders of claims against and equity interests in the Debtors” under “Item 1. Business” of this Registration Statement.

The class of equity securities being registered pursuant to this Registration Statement is the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests. The holders of Class A Liquidation Trust Interests and the holders of Class B Liquidation Trust Interests have the same rights, except with respect to certification, transferability, market liquidity, and payment of distributions.

Interest in assets

Beneficial interests in the Trust do not entitle any Interestholder to any title in or to any of the assets of the Trust or the Wind-Down Group. Without limitation, Interestholders have no right with respect to, or interest in, cash, cash equivalents, Causes of Action or the litigation or settlement proceeds of any causes of action or litigation, the equity securities of the Remaining Debtors, any real properties, any remittances from the Wind-Down Entity, or the net proceeds of any of the foregoing.

Sum certain

Beneficial interests in the Trust do not represent an obligation of any person to pay a sum certain amount.

Voting

Beneficial interests in the Trust have no voting rights with respect to the selection or replacement of the Liquidation Trustee and no other voting rights.

Dividends and Distributions

The Trust does not pay any dividends. However, Liquidation Trust Interests represent a right to receive a pro rata portion of distributions by the Trust pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the Trust Agreement. The Liquidation

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Trust Interests are subject to forfeiture of their right to further distributions if a holder fails to promptly cash a distribution check or fails to promptly claim a distribution check that is returned to the Trust as undeliverable. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Registration Statement under “Risks Related to the Liquidation Trust Interests.”

Each class of Liquidation Trust Interests has a different distribution priority. As set forth in the distribution priority waterfall below, distributions (if any) to holders of Class B Liquidation Trust Interests are contingent upon payment in full to holders of Class A Liquidation Trust Interests of $75.00 per Interest.

The Plan provides for a Liquidation Trust Interest Waterfall that specifies the priority and manner of distribution of cash after payment of expenses and subject to reserves in accordance with the Plan. On each distribution date, the Liquidation Trustee is required to distribute available cash as follows:

First, to each Interestholder of Class A Liquidation Trust Interests pro rata based on such Interestholder’s number of Class A Liquidation Trust Interests, until the aggregate amount of all such distributions on account of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests equals the product of (i) the total number of all Class A Liquidation Trust Interests and (ii) $75.00;
Thereafter, to each Interestholder of Class B Liquidation Trust Interests pro rata based on such Interestholder’s number of Class B Liquidation Trust Interests, until the aggregate amount of all such distributions on account of the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests equals the product of (i) the total number of all Class B Liquidation Trust Interests and (ii) $75.00;
Thereafter, to each Interestholder of a Liquidation Trust Interest (whether a Class A Liquidation Trust Interest or a Class B Liquidation Trust Interest) pro rata based on such Interestholder’s number of Liquidation Trust Interests until the aggregate amount of all such distributions on account of the Liquidation Trust Interests equals an amount equivalent to interest, at a per annum fixed rate of 10%, compounded annually, accrued on the aggregate principal amount of all Net Note Claims, Allowed General Unsecured Claims, and Net Unit Claims outstanding from time to time on or after December 4, 2017, treating each distribution of available cash made after the Plan Effective Date pursuant to the immediately preceding two subparagraphs as reductions of such principal amount; and
Thereafter, pro rata to the Holders of Allowed Subordinated Claims until such Claims are paid in full, including interest, at a per annum fixed rate of 10% or such higher rate as may be specified in any consensual agreement or order relating to a given Holder, compounded annually, accrued on the principal amount of each Allowed Subordinated Claim outstanding from time to time on or after December 4, 2017.

Certification and Transfer

Unless otherwise determined by the Liquidation Trustee, Liquidation Trust Interests will not be evidenced by any certificate, security, or receipt. Except as set forth below, ownership of Liquidation Trust Interests will be maintained on books and records of the Trust maintained by the Liquidation Trustee or on the books and records of a transfer agent acting on behalf of the Trust. In connection with the effectiveness of any registration of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests under the Exchange Act, the Liquidation Trustee may, in its discretion, determine that the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests shall be evidenced by book-entry form represented by one or more global certificates registered in the name of DTC, as depository, or Cede & Co., its nominee, for so long as DTC is willing to act in that capacity. In such event, the Liquidation Trustee shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to give prompt notice of any such determination to the Interestholders of Class A Liquidation Trust Interest.

Currently, the transfer agent of the Trust is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests may view their account online by registering at CSTT’s web page at http://www.continentalstock.com or by contacting CSTT for information. CSTT may be contacted by phone for customer service between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday, at (800) 509-5586. CSTT may be contacted via e-mail at cstmail@continentalstock.com. Written correspondence to CSTT may be directed to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Attn: Customer Service, 1 State Street, 30th Floor, New York, NY 10004-1561.

The Liquidation Trust Interests are subject to the following restrictions on transfer under the Trust Agreement.

Class A Liquidation Trust Interest Transfer Restriction. Until they are registered, the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests cannot be transferred except by operation of law or by will or the laws of descent and distribution, in each case following written notice to the Liquidation Trustee. This restriction is in effect at all times from the Plan Effective Date until the effectiveness of the registration of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests under the Exchange

46

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Act. Upon the effectiveness of such registration, (i) the Class A Transfer Restriction shall terminate and cease to be of any force or effect and (ii) the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests may be transferred by the Interestholders of such Class A Liquidation Trust Interests to the extent otherwise permissible under applicable law.

The Trust is required to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause an Exchange Act registration of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests to become effective, and for the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests to be quoted with an OTC ticker symbol, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Plan Effective Date, but in no event shall the Trust file an Exchange Act registration statement any later than may be required under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated under such statute.

The Liquidation Trust Interests have been issued without registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption from such registration afforded by section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws will not apply to the offer or sale of securities of a debtor or successor to the debtor under a plan of reorganization if (i) the offer or sale occurs under the plan of reorganization, (ii) the recipients of the securities hold a claim against, an interest in or claim for administrative expense against the debtor and (iii) the securities are issued in exchange for a claim against or interest in a debtor or are issued principally in such exchange and partly for cash or property.

As securities issued in reliance upon section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests may be resold without registration under the Securities Act, by any person other than an issuer, underwriter or dealer, in reliance upon the exemption afforded by section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act. However, the Bankruptcy Code deems certain persons to be underwriters as defined in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, thereby eliminating the availability of the section 4(a)(1) exemption for such persons. Generally, a person is considered to be such a “statutory” underwriter if such person (i) purchases a claim against, an interest in, or a claim for an administrative expense in the bankruptcy case against the debtor, if such purchase is with a view to distribution of any security received or to be received in exchange for such a claim or interest; (ii) offers to sell securities offered or sold under a plan of reorganization for the holders of those securities; (iii) offers to buy securities offered or sold under a plan of reorganization from the holders of such securities, if such offer to buy is (a) with a view to distribution of such securities and (b) under an agreement made in connection with such plan of reorganization, with the consummation of such plan of reorganization, or with the offer or sale of securities under the plan of reorganization; or (iv) is an “issuer” (as the term is used in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act) with respect to such securities.

The definition of an “issuer” for purposes of whether a person is an “underwriter” under section 1145(b)(1)(D) of the Bankruptcy Code, by reference to section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, includes as statutory underwriters all persons who, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by or are under common control with, an issuer of securities. The reference to “issuer,” as used in the definition of “underwriter” contained in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, is intended to cover the entity issuing the securities and “control persons” of such issuer of the securities. “Control” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. Accordingly, an officer or director of the Trust, or a person performing similar functions, may be deemed to be a “control person” of the Trust, particularly if the management position or directorship is coupled with ownership of a significant percentage of the reorganized debtor’s or its successor’s voting securities. Moreover, the legislative history of section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code suggests that a holder who owns ten percent (10%) or more of the securities of the Trust debtor may be presumed to be a “control person” and, therefore, an underwriter.

Resales of Class A Liquidation Trust Interests by persons deemed to be “underwriters” (which by definition includes “control persons”) would not be exempted by section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code from registration under the Securities Act or other applicable law. However, holders who are deemed to be “underwriters” may be permitted to sell their Class A Liquidation Trust Interests without registration if they are able to comply with the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

Class B Liquidation Trust Interest Transfer Restriction. The Class B Liquidation Trust Interests cannot be transferred except by operation of law or by will or the laws of descent and distribution, in each case following written notice to the Liquidation Trustee. This restriction is in effect at all times from the Plan Effective Date until the earlier to occur of (a) the effectiveness of a registration of the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests under the Exchange Act or (b) the Liquidation Trustee has given notice to the Interestholders of Class B Liquidation Trust

47

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Interest of the Liquidation Trustee’s good faith determination, in its discretion, that termination of the Class B Transfer Restriction does not require the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests to be registered under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. Upon the occurrence of an event described in (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence, (i) the Class B Transfer Restriction shall terminate and cease to be of any force or effect and (ii) the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests may be transferred by the Interestholders of such Class B Liquidation Trust Interests to the extent otherwise permissible under applicable law.

The Trust is not under any obligation (and does not currently intend) to make any effort to cause the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests to be registered under the Exchange Act or otherwise to facilitate the trading of, or the development of any trading market for, the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests.

In the case of any permissible transfer of a Liquidation Trust Interest during the effectiveness of any transfer restriction under the Trust Agreement (i.e., a transfer by operation of law or by will or the laws of descent and distribution), an Interestholder may contact the Liquidation Trustee for copy of the applicable notice form.

Other Rights and Restrictions

Interestholders do not have preemptive rights, and they have no right to convert their beneficial interests into any other securities. The Liquidation Trust Interests are non-assessable; Interestholders are not liable to further calls by the Trust. Interestholders are not liable for the liabilities and obligations of the Trust by reason of holding Liquidation Trust Interests. The Liquidation Trust Interests are not subject to redemption by the Trust.

Certain provisions of the Liquidation Trust Agreement may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Trust. See “D. Plan Provisions Regarding the CompanyThe Trust” under “Item 1. Business” of this Registration Statement regarding the requirements and procedures for removal and replacement of the Liquidation Trustee or a member of the Supervisory Board.

Item 12.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Indemnification of the Liquidation Trustee

Under Delaware law, the Trust has the power to indemnify and hold harmless any person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever, subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its governing instrument. The Trust is governed by the Trust Agreement, which states that the Liquidation Trustee, the Supervisory Board and each of their respective accountants, agents, assigns, attorneys, bankers, consultants, directors, employees, executors, financial advisors, investment bankers, real estate brokers, transfer agents, managers, members, officers, partners, predecessors, principals, professional persons, representatives, and successors (each, a “Trustee Indemnified Party”) will be indemnified for, and defended and held harmless against, any loss, liability, damage, judgment, fine, penalty, claim, demand, settlement, cost, or expense, including the reasonable fees and expenses of their respective professionals (collectively “Damages”) incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud on the part of the applicable Trustee Indemnified Party (which gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud, if any, must be determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction) for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by the Indemnified Parties in connection with the acceptance, administration, exercise, and performance of their duties under the Plan or the Trust Agreement, as applicable. An act or omission taken with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and not inconsistent therewith, will be conclusively deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct.

In addition, the Trust Agreement provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Trustee Indemnified Party shall be indemnified for, and defended and held harmless against, any and all Damages arising out of or due to their actions or omissions, or consequences of such actions or omissions, with respect to the Trust or the implementation or administration of the Plan if the applicable Trustee Indemnified Party acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Trust or its Interestholders.

The Trust Agreement also authorizes, but does not require, the Liquidation Trustee to obtain all reasonable insurance coverage for itself, its agents, representatives, employees or independent contractors, including coverage with respect to the liabilities, duties and obligations of the Liquidation Trustee and its agents, representatives, employees or independent contractors under the Trust Agreement and the Plan. The cost of any such insurance coverage will be an expense of the Trust.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Indemnification of the Board of Managers, the CEO and Executive Officers of the Wind-Down Entity

The Wind-Down Entity and the Trust are required to indemnify the members of the Board of Managers, the Chief Executive Officer, and the other officers of the Wind-Down Group, and each of their respective accountants, agents, assigns, attorneys, bankers, consultants, directors, employees, executors, financial advisors, investment bankers, brokers, managers, members, officers, partners, predecessors, principals, professional persons, representatives, and successors (each, a “WDE Indemnified Party”) for, and shall defend and hold them harmless against, Damages incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable WDE Indemnified Party (which gross negligence or willful misconduct, if any, must be determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction) for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by the WDE Indemnified Parties in connection with the acceptance, administration, exercise, and performance of their duties under the Plan or the Wind-Down Entity LLC Agreement, as applicable. An act or omission taken with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and not inconsistent therewith, will be conclusively deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct.

In addition, the Wind-Down Entity and the Trust are required, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the WDE Indemnified Parties, from and against and with respect to any and all Damages arising out of or due to their actions or omissions, or consequences of such actions or omissions, with respect to the Wind-Down Entity or the implementation or administration of the Plan if the applicable WDE Indemnified Party acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Wind-Down Entity.

The Wind-Down Entity is a party to an Indemnification Agreement dated February 27, 2019 with its Chief Executive Officer Frederick Chin. Under this agreement, the Wind-Down Entity has agreed to indemnify Mr. Chin, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Wind-Down Entity’s certificate of formation and limited liability company agreement, Mr. Chin’s employment agreement, and the Plan, if Mr. Chin becomes a party to or a witness or other participant in any proceeding (other than an action by or in right of the Wind-Down Entity) by reason of the fact that he is or was an officer, manager or employee of the Wind-Down Entity, or by reason of anything done or not done by him in any such capacity, against all expenses and liabilities incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct by Mr. Chin. Under this agreement, the Wind-Down Entity has also agreed to indemnify Mr. Chin, with respect to any action by or in right of the Wind-Down Entity to which Mr. Chin becomes a party or a witness or in which Mr. Chin becomes a participant, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, provided that Mr. Chin acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. The agreement provides for proportional contribution by the Wind-Down Entity based on relative benefit and relative fault where indemnification is held by a court to be unavailable to Mr. Chin and for the advancement by the Wind-Down Entity of Mr. Chin’s expenses under certain circumstances.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Supervisory Board and Liquidation Trustee of Woodbridge Liquidation Trust and Subsidiaries

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets in liquidation of Woodbridge Liquidation Trust and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2019, the related statement of changes in net assets in liquidation for the period from February 15, 2019 (inception) through June 30, 2019, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2019, and the related statement of changes in net assets in liquidation for the period from February 15, 2019 (inception) through June 30, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applied on the basis described below.

As described in Note 2, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the liquidation basis of accounting.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

for the Period from February 15, 2019 (inception) through June 30, 2019

1)Formation, Organization and Description of Business

Formation

The Woodbridge Liquidation Trust (Trust) was established (i) for the purpose of collecting, administering, distributing and liquidating the Trust assets for the benefit of the Trust beneficiaries in accordance with the Liquidation Trust Agreement and the First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation of Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and Its Affiliated Debtors (Debtor(s) dated August 22, 2018 (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time) (Plan) and (ii) to pay certain allowed claims and statutory fees, as required by the Plan. The Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and its affiliated debtors are individually referred to herein as a Debtor and collectively as Debtors. The Trust was formed on February 15, 2019 (Plan Effective Date) as a statutory trust under Delaware law.

On the Plan Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan, (i) each Debtor contributed the assets owned, held, possessed or controlled by such Debtor to the Trust, (ii) the equity interests of the Woodbridge Group of Companies LLC and Woodbridge Mortgage Investment Fund 1, LLC (together, the Remaining Debtors) were cancelled and new equity interest representing all of the newly issued and outstanding equity interests in the Remaining Debtors were issued to the Trust and (iii) all of the Debtors other than the Remaining Debtors were dissolved. The Trust’s real estate assets were contributed by the Trust to its wholly owned subsidiary, Woodbridge Wind-Down Entity LLC (Wind-Down Entity). The Wind-Down Entity formed 43 wholly owned single member LLCs (Wind-Down Subsidiaries) to own the respective real estate assets. The Trust, the Remaining Debtors, the Wind-Down Entity and the Wind-Down Subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the Company.

Organization

The Trust does not have directors or executive officers. All of the management and executive authority of the Trust resides with the liquidation trustee, subject to the supervision of a six-member supervisory board. The Wind-Down Entity is separately managed by its three-member board of managers, one of whom is the chief executive officer.

There are two classes of Trust beneficiaries, Class A Liquidation Trust Interests (Class A Interests) and Class B Liquidation Trust Interests (Class B Interests), collectively, the Liquidation Trust Interests. The Liquidation Trust Interests are non-voting. The holders of the Class A Interests and the Class B Interests have the same rights, except with respect to certification, transferability and payment of distributions. See Note 10 regarding the priority and manner of distribution of available cash.

The Wind-Down Entity, from time to time, will make distributions to the Trust, as available. The Trust will in turn make distributions, from time to time, to the Trust beneficiaries, as available.

The Trust will be terminated upon the first to occur of (i) the making of all distributions required to be made and a determination by the liquidation trustee that the pursuit of additional causes of action held by the Trust is not justified or (ii) February 15, 2024. However, the bankruptcy court may approve an extension of the term if deemed necessary to facilitate or complete the recovery on, and liquidation of, the Trust assets. The Wind-Down Entity will be dissolved upon the completion of the liquidation of its assets.

Description of Business

The Trust is prosecuting various causes of action acquired by the Trust pursuant to the Plan (Causes of Action) and is resolving claims by potential Trust beneficiaries.

As of June 30, 2019, the Wind-Down Subsidiaries are constructing fourteen single family homes, primarily located in Los Angeles, California. The Wind-Down Subsidiaries also own real estate that is available for sale including single family homes also primarily located in Los Angeles, California, completed lots, secured loans (performing and non-performing) and other properties.

The Company is required to liquidate its assets and distribute available cash to the Trust beneficiaries. The liquidation activities are carried out by the Trust and the Wind-Down Subsidiaries. The Trust currently operates as one reportable segment comprised of real estate assets held for sale.

Net assets in liquidation represent the remaining estimated aggregate liquidation value available to Trust beneficiaries upon liquidation, with no discount for the timing of proceeds (undiscounted). Due to the unpredictability of real estate market values, as well as the uncertainty in the timing of liquidation of the real estate and other assets, net liquidation proceeds, other recoveries and actual liquidation costs may differ materially from the estimated amounts.

As more fully discussed in Note 2, the Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any estimate of future recoveries from litigation and settlement, because the Company presently cannot reasonably estimate them.

No assurance can be given that total distributions will equal or exceed the estimate of net assets in liquidation presented in the consolidated statement of net assets in liquidation.

The Trust’s expectations about the amount of any additional distributions and when they will be paid are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based on certain estimates and assumptions, one or more of which may prove to be incorrect. As a result, the actual amount of any additional distributions may differ materially, perhaps in adverse ways, from the Trust estimates. Furthermore, it is not possible to predict the timing of any additional distributions and such distributions may not be made within the timing referenced in the consolidated financial statements.

2)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These consolidated financial statements have been presented in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 205-30, “Liquidation Basis of Accounting,” as amended by Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-07, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Liquidation Basis of Accounting.”

All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and for the period then ended. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are revised in the period that available information supports a change in the carrying amount.

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

Under Liquidation Basis of Accounting, all assets are recorded at their estimated net realizable value or liquidation value, which represents the estimated amount of net cash that may be received upon the disposition of the assets (on an undiscounted basis). The measurement of real estate assets held for sale is based on current contracts (if any), estimates and other indications of sales value, net of estimated selling costs. Liabilities, including estimated costs associated with implementing and completing the Plan, are measured in accordance with US GAAP that otherwise applies to those liabilities. The Company has also recorded the estimated development costs to be incurred to prepare the assets for sale as well as the estimated holding costs to be incurred until the projected sale date and the estimated general and administrative costs to be incurred until the completion of the liquidation of the Company.

The Company has not recorded any amount from future recoveries of Causes of Action, fair funds or forfeited assets in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since they cannot be reasonably estimated. The amount recovered may be material to the Company’s net assets in liquidation.

These estimated amounts are presented in the accompanying consolidated statement of net assets in liquidation. All changes in the estimated liquidation value of the Company’s real estate held for sale and other assets, and liabilities are reflected as a change to the Company’s net assets in liquidation.

On a quarterly basis, the Company will review the estimated fair values and liquidation costs and record any significant changes. The Company will also revalue an asset when it is under contract for sale and the buyer’s contingencies have been removed. During the period when this occurs, the carrying value of the asset and the estimated closing and other costs will be adjusted, if necessary. If the Company has a change in its plan for the disposition of an asset, the carrying value will be adjusted to reflect this change in the period that the change is approved. The change in value may include a change to the accrued liquidation costs related to the asset.

Other Assets

The Company recognizes recoveries from the settlement of Causes of Action when an agreement is executed and collectability is reasonable assured. Insurance claims are recognized when the insurance company accepts the claim and the recoverable amount can be estimated. In addition, the Company recognizes other amounts to be received based on contractual terms or when the amounts to be received are certain.

Accrued Liquidation Costs

The Company accrues for estimated liquidation costs to the extent they are reasonably determinable. These costs consist of (a) estimated development costs including construction costs of the single family homes under development, other project related costs, architectural and engineering, project management and city fees, bond

payments (net of refunds), furnishings, marketing and other costs; (b) estimated holding costs, including property taxes, insurance, maintenance, utilities and other; and (c) estimated general and administrative costs, including payroll and payroll related costs, legal and other professional fees, trustee and board fees, rent and other office related expenses, interest on financing and other general and administrative costs to operate the Company.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes cash that can only be used for certain specified purposes (Note 4).

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and restricted cash. At times, balances in any one financial institution may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company believes it mitigates this risk by investing its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions.

Income Taxes

The Trust is intended to be treated as a grantor trust for income tax purposes and, accordingly, is not subject to federal or state income tax on any income earned or gain recognized by the Trust. The Trust’s beneficiaries will be treated as the owner of a pro rata portion of each asset, including cash and each liability received by and held by the Trust, and will be required to report on their federal and state income tax return their pro rata share of taxable income, including gains and losses recognized by the Trust. Accordingly, there is no provision for federal or state income taxes recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company regularly analyzes its various federal and state filing positions and only recognizes the income tax effect in the consolidated financial statements when certain criteria regarding uncertain income tax positions have been met. The Company believes that its income tax positions would be more likely than not be sustained upon examination by all relevant taxing authorities. Therefore, no provision for uncertain income tax positions has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

During the period from February 15, 2019 (inception) through June 30, 2019, the Company declared a distribution of approximately $44,686,000 (an initial distribution of $44,697,000, less $11,000 relating to disallowed claims), of which approximately $42,872,000 was paid during the period and approximately $1,814,000 is payable at June 30, 2019.

8)Revolving Line of Credit

On April 9, 2019, the Wind-Down Entity entered into a $27,655,000 revolving line of credit (LOC) with a financial institution. The Wind-Down Entity formed a single member limited liability company (WB Propco, LLC) that is the borrower (Borrower) under the LOC. The Borrower has four subsidiaries (Property Subsidiaries) which are wholly owned single member limited liability companies that own each of the four properties that are collateral for borrowings under the LOC. The carrying value of the collateral for the LOC was approximately $117,000,000 at June 30, 2019. Borrowings under the LOC are secured by a deed of trust, fixture filing, assignment of rents and security agreement from each of the Property Subsidiaries. The loan is guaranteed by the Wind-Down Entity and each of the Property Subsidiaries. The LOC matures on May 1, 2020 and the outstanding borrowings bear interest at the prime rate (the prime rate was 5.50% at June 30, 2019). The interest rate is adjusted monthly but can never be lower than 5.25% per annum. Interest is payable monthly. The LOC provides that upon the sale of one of the properties that is collateral for the LOC, the outstanding balance, if any, is to be paid down in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the Release Amount, as defined, for the sold property and (b) the then current outstanding principal amount of the LOC and other amounts owing under the LOC. In addition, the amount of the LOC is reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Loan Amount, as defined, for the property that was sold.

As of June 30, 2019, no amounts were outstanding under the LOC and the Borrower was in compliance with the financial covenants of the LOC. On September 12, 2019, one of the properties that was collateral for the LOC was sold. Therefore, the amount available under the LOC was reduced to $25,380,000.

At the Plan Effective Date, certain claims were disputed. As the claims are resolved, additional Class A and Class B Interests are issued for allowed claims and no Class A and Class B Interests are issued for disallowed claims.

10)Distributions

On March 15, 2019, a distribution in the amount of approximately $44,697,000 was declared which represents $3.75 per Class A Interest. The distribution paid relating to the allowed claims was approximately $42,313,000. A deposit of approximately $2,384,000 was made into a restricted cash account for the distribution that would be payable if the disputed claims were allowed and Class A Interests were issued. As claims were allowed, distributions of approximately $559,000 were paid from the restricted cash account relating to the Class A Interests that were issued. As a result of claims being disallowed, approximately $11,000 was released from the restricted account and distributions payable was reduced by the same amount.

The Plan provides for a distribution waterfall that specifies the priority and manner of distribution of available cash. Distributions are to be made (a) to the Class A Interests until they have received distributions of $75.00 per Class A Interest; thereafter (b) to the Class B Interests until they have received distributions of $75.00 per Class B Interest; thereafter (c) to each Liquidation Trust Interest (whether a Class A or Class B Interest) until the aggregate of all distributions made pursuant to this clause equals an amount equivalent to interest, at a per annum fixed rate of 10%, compounded annually, accrued on the aggregate principal amount of all Net Note Claims, Allowed General Unsecured Claims and Net Unit Claims, all as defined, treating each distribution pursuant to (a) and (b) above as reductions of such principal amount; and thereafter (d) to the holders of Allowed Subordinated Claims, as defined, until such claims are paid in full, including interest, at a per annum fixed rate of 10% or such higher rate as may be agreed to, as provided for in the Plan, compounded annually, accrued on the principal amount of each Allowed Subordinated Claim, as defined.

CLASSIFICATION OF CLAIMS AND EQUITY INTERESTS

 

2.1          Summary and Classification of Claims. This Section classifies Claims – except for Administrative Claims, Professional Fee Claims, Priority Tax Claims, and DIP Claims, which are not classified for all purposes, including confirmation, Distributions, and voting. A Claim is classified in a particular Class only to the extent that the Claim falls within the Class description. To the extent that part of a Claim falls within a different Class description, that part of the Claim is classified in that different Class. The following table summarizes the Classes of Claims under the Plan:

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER TERM OR PROVISION OF THE PLAN,

IS NOT AN ALLOWED CLAIM AND NO RIGHTS WILL BE RETAINED ON

ACCOUNT OF ANY CLAIM THAT IS A DISALLOWED CLAIM.

 

2.2          Classification & Voting Controversies.

 

(a)           If a controversy arises regarding whether any Claim is properly classified under the Plan, then the Bankruptcy Court shall, upon proper motion and notice, determine such controversy at the Confirmation Hearing.

 

(b)           If the Bankruptcy Court finds that the classification of any Claim is improper, then such Claim shall be reclassified and the Ballot previously cast by the Holder of such Claim shall be counted in, and the Claim shall receive the treatment prescribed in, the Class in which the Bankruptcy Court determines such Claim should have been classified, without the necessity of resoliciting any votes on the Plan.

 

ARTICLE III

 

TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND EQUITY INTERESTS

 

3.1           Unclassified Claims.

 

3.1.1       Administrative Claims. Except as otherwise provided for herein, and subject to the requirements of the Plan, on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the later of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) thirty (30) calendar days following the date on which an Administrative Claim becomes an Allowed Administrative Claim, the Holder of such Allowed Administrative Claim shall receive, in full satisfaction, settlement, and release of and in exchange for such Allowed Administrative Claim, (a) Cash equal to the unpaid portion of such Allowed Administrative Claim or (b) such other less favorable treatment as to which such Holder and the Liquidation Trust shall have agreed upon in writing.

 

3.1.2       Professional Fee Claims. Professional Fee Claims shall be paid as set forth in Section 11.2 of the Plan.

 

20

3.1.3      Priority Tax Claims. In full satisfaction, settlement, and release of and in exchange for such Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims shall be paid, at the Liquidation Trust’s option, as follows: (a) Cash equal to the unpaid portion of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim on the later of the Effective Date and thirty (30) calendar days following the date on which such Priority Tax Claim becomes an Allowed Priority Tax Claim; (b) in regular installment payments in Cash over a period not exceeding five (5) years after the Petition Date, plus interest on the unpaid portion thereof at the rate determined under applicable nonbankruptcy law as of the calendar month in which the Effective Date occurs (provided that such election shall be without prejudice to the right to prepay any such Allowed Priority Tax Claim in full or in part without penalty); or (c) such other treatment as to which the Holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim and the Liquidation Trust shall have agreed upon in writing.

 

3.1.4       DIP Claims. Subject to the DIP Orders, on the Effective Date, the DIP Claims shall be deemed to be Allowed in the full amount due and owing under the DIP Facility as of the Effective Date, if any. On the Effective Date, any outstanding DIP Claims shall be indefeasibly paid in full in Cash and the Debtors’ rights and obligations under the DIP Facility shall be cancelled.

 

3.2           Class 1: Other Secured Claims.

 

Class 1 consists of all Other Secured Claims. Class 1 is Unimpaired under the Plan.

 

The legal, equitable, and contractual rights of Holders of Allowed Class 1 Claims are unaltered by the Plan, and, notwithstanding substantive consolidation of the Debtors and vesting of the Wind-Down Assets in the Wind-Down Entity, the Liens of the Holders of Allowed Class 1 Claims will continue to attach to their respective Collateral, provided that all such Claims shall remain subject to any and all defenses, counterclaims, and setoff or recoupment rights with respect thereto. Unless the Wind-Down Entity and the Holder of an Allowed Class 1 Claim agree to other treatment, on or as soon as is reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, each Holder of an Allowed Class 1 Claim shall receive, at the Wind-Down Entity’s option: (i) Cash from the Wind-Down Entity in the Allowed amount of such Holder’s Allowed Class 1 Claim; or (ii) the return by the Wind-Down Entity of the Collateral securing such Allowed Class 1 Claim, without representation or warranty by any Person (and without recourse against any Person regarding such Other Secured Claim); or (iii) (A) the cure of any default, other than a default of the kind specified in Bankruptcy Code section 365(b)(2), that Bankruptcy Code section 1124(2) requires to be cured, with respect to such Holder’s Allowed Class 1 Claim, without recognition of any default rate of interest or similar penalty or charge, and upon such cure, no default shall exist; (B) the reinstatement of the maturity of such Allowed Class 1 Claim as the maturity existed before any default, without recognition of any default rate of interest or similar penalty or charge; and (C) retention of its unaltered legal, equitable, and contractual rights with respect to such Allowed Class 1 Claim, including through the retention of any associated Lien on the Collateral securing such Allowed Class 1 Claim.

 

The Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction and power to determine the amount necessary to satisfy any Allowed Class 1 Claim for which treatment is elected under clause (i) or clause (iii) of the immediately foregoing paragraph. With respect to any Allowed Class 1 Claim for which treatment is elected under clause (i), any Holder of such Allowed Class 1 Claim shall release (and by the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to release) all Liens against any Estate Assets. Notwithstanding anything else in the Plan, the Holders of Allowed Class 1 Claims will have no right to receive any Distribution from, or otherwise share in, any of the Liquidation Trust Assets.

 

21

3.3           Class 2: Priority Claims.

 

Class 2 consists of all Priority Claims. Class 2 is Unimpaired under the Plan.

 

On, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the later of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the date on which a Priority Claim becomes payable pursuant to and as specified by an order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Holder of such Allowed Priority Claim shall receive, in full satisfaction, settlement, and release of and in exchange for such Allowed Priority Claim, either (a) Cash from the Liquidation Trust equal to the unpaid portion of such Allowed Priority Claim or (b) such other less favorable treatment from the Liquidation Trust to which such Holder and the Liquidation Trust shall have agreed upon in writing.

 

3.4           Class 3: Standard Note Claims.

 

Class 3 consists of all Standard Note Claims, as well as those Non-Debtor Loan Note Claims that are reclassified in Class 3 pursuant to Section 3.7 of the Plan. Class 3 is Impaired under the Plan.

 

In full satisfaction, settlement, and release of and in exchange for such Claims, the Holders of Allowed Class 3 Claims will receive on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, one (1) Class A Liquidation Trust Interest for each $75.00 of Net Note Claims held by the applicable Noteholder with respect to its Allowed Note Claims (any resulting fractional Class A Liquidation Trust Interests will be rounded to the nearest hundredth of such Liquidation Trust Interest with five thousandths thereof rounded up to the next hundredth). As set forth more fully in Section 5.4.10 of the Plan, subsequent Distributions of Cash on account of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests will be made by the Liquidation Trust in accordance with the Liquidation Trust Interests Waterfall.

 

The treatment of the Standard Note Claims under the Plan is not intended to and will not reduce, impair, satisfy, limit, or otherwise affect any rights that any Noteholder may have against any Person that is not a Released Party (including those rights that may be included in the Contributed Claims and contributed to the Liquidation Trust by making the Ballot election described below).

 

Each Holder of a Standard Note Claim may agree, by electing on its Ballot, to contribute its Contributed Claims to the Liquidation Trust. By electing such option on its Ballot, the Noteholder agrees that, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date and the formation of the Liquidation Trust, it will be deemed, without further action, (i) to have contributed its Contributed Claims to the Liquidation Trust and (ii) to have agreed to execute any documents reasonably requested to memorialize such contribution. The relative share of Liquidation Trust recoveries for any so electing Noteholder in respect of its Class 3 Claim will be enhanced by having the amount that otherwise would be its Net Note Claim increased by the Contributing Claimants Enhancement Multiplier. Noteholders also may choose to make such election because aggregating all Contributed Claims and similar Liquidation Trust Actions may enable the pursuit and settlement of such litigation claims in a more efficient and effective manner.

 

22

3.5          Class 4: General Unsecured Claims.

 

Class 4 consists of all General Unsecured Claims. Class 4 is Impaired under the Plan.

 

In full satisfaction, settlement, and release of and in exchange for such Claims, the Holders of Allowed Class 4 Claims will receive on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, one (1) Class A Liquidation Trust Interest for each $75.00 of Allowed General Unsecured Claims held by the applicable Creditor (any resulting fractional Class A Liquidation Trust Interests will be rounded to the nearest hundredth of such Liquidation Trust Interest with five thousandths thereof rounded up to the next hundredth). As set forth more fully in Section 5.4.10 of the Plan, subsequent Distributions of Cash on account of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests will be made by the Liquidation Trust in accordance with the Liquidation Trust Interests Waterfall.

 

3.6          Class 5: Unit Claims.

 

Class 5 consists of all Unit Claims. Class 5 is Impaired under the Plan.

 

In full satisfaction, settlement, and release of and in exchange for such Claims, the Holders of Allowed Unit Claims will receive on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, 0.725 Class A Liquidation Trust Interests and 0.275 Class B Liquidation Trust Interests for each $75.00 of Net Unit Claims held by the applicable Unitholder with respect to its Allowed Unit Claims (any resulting fractional Class A Liquidation Trust Interests or Class B Liquidation Trust Interests will be rounded to the nearest hundredth of such Liquidation Trust Interest with five thousandths thereof rounded up to the next hundredth). As set forth more fully in Section 5.4.10 of the Plan, subsequent Distributions of Cash on account of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests and the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests will be made by the Liquidation Trust in accordance with the Liquidation Trust Interests Waterfall.

 

The treatment of the Unit Claims under the Plan is not intended to and will not reduce, impair, satisfy, limit, or otherwise affect any rights that any Unitholder may have against any Person that is not a Released Party (including those rights that may be included in the Contributed Claims and contributed to the Liquidation Trust by making the Ballot election described below).

 

Each Holder of a Unit Claim may agree, by electing on its Ballot, to contribute its Contributed Claims to the Liquidation Trust. By electing such option on its Ballot, the Unitholder agrees that, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date and the formation of the Liquidation Trust, it will be deemed, without further action, (i) to have contributed its Contributed Claims to the Liquidation Trust and (ii) to have agreed to execute any documents reasonably requested to memorialize such contribution. The relative share of Liquidation Trust recoveries for any so electing Unitholder will be enhanced by having the amount that otherwise would be its Net Unit Claim increased by the Contributing Claimants Enhancement Multiplier. Unitholders also may choose to make such election because aggregating all Contributed Claims and similar Liquidation Trust Actions may enable the pursuit and settlement of such litigation claims in a more efficient and effective manner.

 

23

 

3.7           Class 6: Non-Debtor Loan Note Claims.

 

Class 6 consists of all Non-Debtor Loan Note Claims. Class 6 is Impaired under the Plan.

 

The Debtors dispute that any Non-Debtor Loan Note Claim is actually secured by a perfected Lien, and no Class 6 Claim will be Allowed in any respect under the Plan. Instead, the Liquidation Trust may litigate against any Disputing Claimant holding a Non-Debtor Loan Note Claim (i) any disputes about the secured or unsecured status, amount, and priority of such Non-Debtor Loan Note Claim; (ii) any Liquidation Trust Actions that may exist against such Noteholder; and (iii) any other matters pertaining to such Noteholder’s rights vis-à-vis the Debtors or the Estates. In order to settle and avoid such potential litigation, each Class 6 Ballot will provide an opportunity for the applicable Noteholder to affirmatively consent to reclassification of its Claim as a Class 3 Claim, whereupon (a) such Claim will be treated as if such Claim had always been part of Class 3 and based on the applicable amounts in the Schedule of Principal Amounts and Prepetition Distributions, to which amounts the applicable Noteholder will have agreed and be bound; and (b) the applicable Noteholder will have agreed to release (and by the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to release) all asserted Liens against any Estate Assets.

 

If the Bankruptcy Court determines in a Final Order that any given Holder of a Class 6 Claim holds a valid Secured Claim, then in full satisfaction, settlement, and release of and in exchange for such Claim, such Holder will receive on or as soon as is reasonably practicable after the date of such determination Cash from the Liquidation Trust in the amount of such Holder’s Allowed Class 6 Claim to the extent such Allowed Claim is a Secured Claim, with post-Confirmation interest thereon at the applicable contract rate, and any Holder of such Allowed Class 6 Claim shall release (and by the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to release) all Liens against any Estate Assets.

 

If the Bankruptcy Court determines in a Final Order that any given Holder of a Class 6 Claim does not hold a valid Secured Claim, then in full satisfaction, settlement, and release of and in exchange for such Claim, such Claim shall automatically be reclassified as a Class 3 Claim and such Claim will be treated as if such Claim had always been part of Class 3 and based on the Outstanding Principal Amounts and Prepetition Distributions that are determined by the Bankruptcy Court regarding such Noteholder, including, if applicable, after taking into account any Liquidation Trust Actions that the Liquidation Trust may pursue against the particular Disputing Claimant (as to which all rights of the Liquidation Trust are reserved).

 

If the Liquidation Trust and any given Holder of a Class 6 Claim reach an agreement regarding the treatment of such Holder’s Claim that eliminates the need for the Bankruptcy Court to make the determination contemplated by the preceding two paragraphs, then in full satisfaction, settlement, and release of and in exchange for such Claim, such Claim shall receive the treatment that is agreed between the Liquidation Trust and such Holder.

 

The treatment of the Non-Debtor Loan Note Claims under the Plan is not intended to and will not reduce, impair, satisfy, limit, or otherwise affect any rights that any Noteholder may have against any Person that is not a Released Party (including those rights that may be included in the Contributed Claims and contributed to the Liquidation Trust by making the Ballot election described below).

 

24

Each Holder of a Non-Debtor Loan Note Claim may agree, by electing on its Ballot, to contribute its Contributed Claims to the Liquidation Trust. By electing such option on its Ballot, the Noteholder agrees that, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date and the formation of the Liquidation Trust, it will be deemed, without further action, (i) to have contributed its Contributed Claims to the Liquidation Trust and (ii) to have agreed to execute any documents reasonably requested to memorialize such contribution. The relative share of Liquidation Trust recoveries for any so electing Noteholder, to the extent that its Claim is classified and treated as a Class 3 Claim, will be enhanced by having the amount that otherwise would be its Net Note Claim increased by the Contributing Claimants Enhancement Multiplier. Noteholders also may choose to make such election because aggregating all Contributed Claims and similar Liquidation Trust Actions may enable the pursuit and settlement of such litigation claims in a more efficient and effective manner.

 

3.8           Class 7: Subordinated Claims.

 

Class 7 consists of all Subordinated Claims. Class 7 is Impaired under the Plan.

 

The Holders of Allowed Subordinated Claims will retain a residual right to receive Cash that remains in the Liquidation Trust after the final administration of all Liquidation Trust Assets and the complete satisfaction of all senior payment rights within the Liquidation Trust Interests Waterfall. The Debtors have determined not to solicit the votes of the Holders of any Class 7 Claims, and such Holders shall be deemed to have rejected the Plan and, therefore, such Holders are not entitled to vote on the Plan.

 

3.9           Class 8: Equity Interests.

 

Class 8 consists of all Equity Interests. Class 8 is Impaired under the Plan.

 

As of the Effective Date, all Equity Interests shall be deemed void, cancelled, and of no further force and effect. On and after the Effective Date, Holders of Equity Interests shall not be entitled to, and shall not receive or retain any property or interest in property under the Plan on account of such Equity Interests. Class 8 is deemed to have rejected the Plan and, therefore, Holders of Equity Interests are not entitled to vote on the Plan.

 

3.10        Special Provisions Regarding Insured Claims.

 

(a)           Any Allowed General Unsecured Claim with respect to an Insured Claim shall be limited to the Uninsured Portion of such Claim, provided such Claims have been timely Filed by the applicable Claims Bar Date.

 

(b)           If there is insurance purchased by or otherwise applicable to the Debtors, any Person with rights against or under the applicable insurance policy, including the Wind-Down Entity, the Liquidation Trust, and Holders of Insured Claims, may pursue such rights.

 

(c)           Nothing in this Section 3.10 shall constitute a waiver of any Causes of Action the Debtors, the Estates, the Wind-Down Entity, or the Liquidation Trust may hold against any Person, including the Debtors’ insurance carriers; and nothing in this Section 3.10 is intended to, shall, or shall be deemed to preclude any Holder of an Insured Claim from seeking or obtaining a distribution or other recovery from any insurer of the Debtors in addition to (but not in duplication of) any Distribution such Holder may receive under the Plan; provided, however, that the Debtors, the Wind-Down Entity, and the Liquidation Trust do not waive, and expressly reserve their rights to assert that any insurance coverage is property of the Estates to which they are entitled.

 

25

(d)           The Plan shall not expand the scope of, or alter in any other way, the rights and obligations of the Debtors’ insurers under their policies, and the Debtors’ insurers shall retain any and all defenses to coverage that such insurers may have, including the right to contest or litigate with any Person the existence, primacy, or scope of available coverage under any allegedly applicable policy. The Plan shall not operate as a waiver of any other Claims the Debtors’ insurers have asserted or may assert in any proof of claim or of any objections or defenses to any such Claims.

 

3.11       Comprehensive Settlement of Claims and Controversies.

 

3.11.1     Generally. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 1123(a)(5), 1123(b)(3), and 1123(b)(6), as well as Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the Distributions and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all claims and controversies relating to the rights that a Holder of a Claim or an Equity Interest may have against any Debtor with respect to any Claim, Equity Interest, or any Distribution on account thereof, as well as of all potential Intercompany Claims, Intercompany Liens, and Causes of Action against any Debtor, including the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee Action. The entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, as of the Effective Date, of the compromise or settlement of all such claims or controversies and the Bankruptcy Court’s finding that all such compromises or settlements are (i) in the best interest of the Debtors, the Estates, and their respective property and stakeholders; and (ii) fair, equitable, and reasonable. This comprehensive compromise and settlement is a critical component of the Plan and is designed to provide a resolution of myriad disputed intercompany and intercreditor Claims, Liens, and Causes of Action that otherwise could take years to resolve, which would delay and undoubtedly reduce the Distributions that ultimately would be available for all Creditors.

 

3.11.2     Implementing Settlement Elements. Pursuant to the comprehensive compromise and settlement negotiated by the Debtors and the Committees, the Plan effectuates, among other things, the following:

 

(a)           On the Effective Date, unless held by Excluded Parties or Disputing Claimants (in which case such Claims are Disputed Claims), all Class 3 Standard Note Claims and all Class 5 Unit Claims are deemed Allowed under the Plan as set forth in the Schedule of Principal Amounts and Prepetition Distributions;

 

(b)           To the extent, and only to the extent, a Claim is Allowed by subparagraph (a) above, the following Liquidation Trust Actions are waived and released as to the applicable Noteholder or Unitholder (that is not a Disputing Claimant): (i) Liquidation Trust Actions to avoid or recover a Prepetition Distribution with respect to the subject Allowed Claim and (ii) Liquidation Trust Actions to avoid or recover a Debtor’s prepetition payment of consideration representing the return or repayment of the principal of any Note or any Unit (which consideration is applied as such prior to determining the Outstanding Principal Amount for the Notes or Units relevant to the applicable Allowed Claim);

 

26

(c)           In accordance with Section 5.8 of the Plan, subject to the rights of Allowed Other Secured Claims, the Fund Debtors will be substantively consolidated into Woodbridge Mortgage Investment Fund 1, LLC and the Other Debtors will be substantively consolidated into Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC;

 

(d)           The Holders of Allowed Claims in Class 3 (Standard Note Claims), Class 4 (General Unsecured Claims), Class 5 (Unit Claims), and Class 6 (Non-Debtor Loan Note Claims) will receive the treatment provided for such Holders under the Plan;

 

(e)           The Liquidation Trust will be created to most effectively and efficiently pursue the Liquidation Trust Actions for the collective benefit of all the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries (as well as to own the membership interests of the Wind-Down Entity, establish and hold the Distribution Reserves, and receive and distribute to Noteholders, Holders of General Unsecured Claims, and Unitholders holding Liquidation Trust Interests the net proceeds of the liquidation of Wind-Down Assets by the Wind-Down Entity remaining after payment of Wind-Down Expenses, Liquidation Trust Expenses, and certain other Claims, all in accordance with the Plan);

 

(f)            Findings will be sought in the Confirmation Order that (i) beginning no later than July 2012 through December 1, 2017, Robert H. Shapiro used his web of more than 275 limited liability companies, including the Debtors, to conduct a massive Ponzi scheme raising more than $1.22 billion from over 8,400 unsuspecting investors nationwide; (ii) the Ponzi scheme involved the payment of purported returns to existing investors from funds contributed by new investors; and (iii) the Ponzi scheme was discovered in December 2017; and

 

(g)           Any Intercompany Claims that could be asserted by one Debtor against another Debtor will be extinguished immediately before the Effective Date with no separate recovery on account of any such Claims and any Intercompany Liens that could be asserted by one Debtor regarding any Estate Assets owned by another Debtor will be deemed released and discharged on the Effective Date; provided, however, that solely with respect to any Secured Claim of a non-debtor as to which the associated Lien would be junior to any Intercompany Lien, the otherwise released Intercompany Claim and associated Intercompany Lien will be preserved for the benefit of, and may be asserted by, the Liquidation Trust as to any Collateral that is Cash and, otherwise, the Wind-Down Entity so as to retain the relative priority and seniority of such Intercompany Claim and associated Intercompany Lien.

 

ARTICLE IV

 

ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF THE PLAN

 

4.1           Impaired Class of Claims Entitled to Vote. Only the votes of Holders of Allowed Claims in Class 3, Class 4, Class 5, and Class 6 shall be solicited with respect to the Plan.

 

27

4.2           Acceptance by an Impaired Class. In accordance with Bankruptcy Code section 1126(c), and except as provided in Bankruptcy Code section 1126(e), the Holders of Claims in any Class entitled to vote on the Plan shall have accepted the Plan if the Plan is accepted by the Holders of at least two-thirds (⅔) in dollar amount and more than one-half (½) in number of the Allowed Claims in such Class that have timely and properly voted to accept or reject the Plan.

 

4.3           Presumed Acceptances by Unimpaired Classes. Class 1 and Class 2 are Unimpaired under the Plan. Under Bankruptcy Code section 1126(f), the Holders of Claims in such Unimpaired Classes are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan, and, therefore, the votes of such Holders shall not be solicited.

 

4.4          Impaired Classes Deemed to Reject Plan. The Debtors have determined not to solicit the votes of Holders of any Claims in Class 7, and such Holders shall be deemed to have rejected the Plan and, therefore, such Holders are not entitled to vote on the Plan. Holders of Equity Interests in Class 8 are not entitled to receive or retain any property or interests in property under the Plan. Under Bankruptcy Code section 1126(g), such Holders are deemed to have rejected the Plan, and, therefore, the votes of such Holders shall not be solicited.

 

4.5          Modifications of Votes. Following the Voting Deadline, no Creditors entitled to vote on the Plan will be able to change their votes cast on the Plan or any attendant elections or preferences without the written consent of the Debtors, which consent may be given or withheld in the Debtors’ reasonable discretion after consultation with each of the Committees.

 

4.6          Confirmation Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(b). Because at least one Impaired Class is deemed to have rejected the Plan, the Debtors will and hereby request confirmation of the Plan under Bankruptcy Code section 1129(b). The Debtors reserve the right to alter, amend, modify, revoke, or withdraw the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or any schedule or exhibit, including to amend or modify it to satisfy the requirements of Bankruptcy Code section 1129(b), if necessary.

 

4.7          Elimination of Vacant Classes. Any Class of Claims or Equity Interests that does not contain, as of the date of the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing, a Holder of an Allowed Claim, or a Holder of a Claim temporarily allowed under Bankruptcy Rule 3018, shall be deemed deleted from the Plan for purposes of determining acceptance of the Plan by such Class under Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(8).

 

4.8          Severability of Joint Plan. This Plan represents a joint plan comprised of individual plans for each of the Debtors. As further discussed in Section 11.6 of the Plan, the Debtors may alter, amend, or modify this Plan at or before the Confirmation Hearing, including to remove one or more Debtors from this Plan, in the Debtors’ reasonable discretion after consultation with each of the Committees.

 

ARTICLE V

 

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN

 

 

5.1         Implementation of the Plan. The Plan will be implemented by various acts and transactions as set forth in the Plan, including, among other things, the establishment of the Wind-Down Entity and the Liquidation Trust, the appointment of the Wind-Down CEO, the Liquidation Trustee, and the Remaining Debtors Manager, and the making of Distributions by the Liquidation Trust and, as applicable, the Wind-Down Entity in accordance with the Plan.

 

28

5.2          Streamlining of the Debtors’ Corporate Affairs.

 

5.2.1      Debtors’ Existing Directors, Officers, and Managers. On the Effective Date, each of the Debtors’ existing directors, officers, and managers shall be terminated automatically without the need for any Corporate Action and without the need for any corporate or limited liability company filings, and shall have no ongoing rights against or obligations to the Debtors or the Estates, including under any applicable prepetition agreements (all of which will be deemed terminated). On the Effective Date, the Wind-Down CEO shall succeed to all such powers as would have been applicable to the Debtors’ officers and managers in respect of all Wind-Down Assets and the Liquidation Trustee shall succeed to all such powers as would have been applicable to the Debtors’ officers and managers in respect of all Liquidation Trust Assets; provided, however, that the Wind-Down CEO and the Liquidation Trustee may continue to consult with or employ the Debtors’ former directors, officers, employees, and managers to the extent required to comply with applicable law or contractual provisions regarding the Debtors.

 

5.2.2       The Remaining Debtors Pending the Closing of the Cases. Each Remaining Debtor shall continue in existence after the Effective Date as a post-Effective-Date entity for the purposes of ensuring, among other things, that Creditors will obtain the benefits of any allegedly transfer-restricted assets. Without the need for any Corporate Action and without the need for any corporate or limited liability company filings, (a) all Equity Interests of the Remaining Debtors issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Date shall be automatically cancelled and extinguished on the Effective Date and (b) as of the Effective Date, new membership interests of each Remaining Debtor, representing all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of each such Remaining Debtor, shall be issued to the Liquidation Trust, which new membership interests so issued shall be deemed to have been offered and sold to the Liquidation Trust in reliance on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act afforded by section 4(a)(2) thereof. On and after the Effective Date, each Remaining Debtor will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Liquidation Trust, and the Liquidation Trust may expend with respect to such Remaining Debtor such amounts as the Liquidation Trust determines is appropriate, in its discretion. The sole manager of each Remaining Debtor shall be the Remaining Debtors Manager. The Remaining Debtors Manager’s rights and powers with respect to operations, employment, compensation, indemnity, and exculpation as to each Remaining Debtor shall, to the greatest extent possible, be the same as its rights and powers as Liquidation Trustee in connection with the Liquidation Trust, and the Remaining Debtors Manager may take such steps as appropriate to maintain the good standing of the applicable Remaining Debtor. Until a Remaining Debtor is dissolved, all cash or property received by the Remaining Debtor, gross or net of any expenses of the Remaining Debtor incurred after the Effective Date, shall be transferred to the Liquidation Trust.

5.4.2      Creation and Governance of the Liquidation Trust. On the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trustee shall execute the Liquidation Trust Agreement and shall take any other steps necessary to establish the Liquidation Trust in accordance with the Plan and the beneficial interests therein. For federal income tax purposes, the transfer of the assets to the Liquidation Trust will be treated as a sale or other disposition of assets (except for the assets transferred to the Disputed Ownership Fund as provided in Section 7.10 of the Plan) to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries in exchange for their claims in the Chapter 11 Cases. Any income or loss from the transfer of assets to the Liquidation Trust shall flow through to the ultimate taxpaying member of each Debtor who will be responsible to pay the tax liability, if any. For federal income tax purposes, the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries shall be treated as the grantors of the Liquidation Trust and deemed to be the owners of the assets of the Liquidation Trust. The transfer of the Liquidation Trust Assets to the Liquidation Trust shall be deemed a transfer to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries by the Debtors, followed by a deemed transfer by such Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries to the Liquidation Trust. The Debtors, the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries, and the Liquidation Trust will consistently report the valuation of the assets transferred to the Liquidation Trust. Such consistent valuations and revised reporting will be used for all federal income tax purposes. Income deductions, gain, or loss from the Liquidation Trust shall be reported to the beneficiaries of the Liquidation Trust in conjunction with the filing of the Liquidation Trust’s income tax returns. Each Liquidation Trust Beneficiary shall report income, deductions, gain, or loss on such Liquidation Trust Beneficiary’s income tax returns. The Liquidation Trust shall be governed by the Liquidation Trust Agreement and administered by the Liquidation Trustee. The powers, rights, and responsibilities of the Liquidation Trustee shall be specified in the Liquidation Trust Agreement. After an objection to a Disputed Claim is resolved or a Contingent Claim or Unliquidated Claim has been determined in whole or in part by a Final Order or by agreement, the Liquidation Trust Interests and/or Cash held in the Disputed Ownership Fund shall be transferred as described in Section 7.11 of the Plan.

 

34

5.4.3       Vesting of Liquidation Trust Assets. On the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust will be automatically vested with all of the Debtors’ and the Estates’ respective rights, title, and interest in and to all Liquidation Trust Assets. Except as specifically provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, the Liquidation Trust Assets shall automatically vest in the Liquidation Trust free and clear of all Claims, Liens, or interests subject only to the Liquidation Trust Interests and the Liquidation Trust Expenses, as provided for in the Liquidation Trust Agreement, and such vesting shall be exempt from any stamp, real estate transfer, other transfer, mortgage reporting, sales, use, or other similar tax. The Liquidation Trustee shall be the exclusive trustee of the Liquidation Trust Assets for purposes of 31 U.S.C. § 3713(b) and 26 U.S.C. § 6012(b)(3), as well as the representative of the Estates appointed pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1123(b)(3) regarding all Liquidation Trust Assets. The Liquidation Trust shall hold and distribute the Liquidation Trust Assets in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Liquidation Trust Agreement.

 

5.4.4       Purpose of the Liquidation Trust. The Liquidation Trust shall be established for the purpose of pursuing or liquidating the Liquidation Trust Assets and making Distributions to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(d), with no objective to continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business.

 

5.4.5       Authority. Subject to the supervision of the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board, the Liquidation Trustee shall have the authority and right on behalf of the Debtors and the Estates and without the need for Bankruptcy Court approval (in each case, unless otherwise provided in the Plan) to carry out and implement all applicable provisions of the Plan, including to:

(b)           calculate and make Distributions and calculate and establish reserves under and in accordance with the Plan;

 

(c)           retain, compensate, and employ professionals and other Persons to represent the Liquidation Trustee with respect to and in connection with its rights and responsibilities;

 

(d)           establish, maintain, and administer documents and accounts of the Debtors as appropriate, which shall be segregated to the extent appropriate in accordance with the Plan;

 

(e)           maintain, conserve, collect, settle, and protect the Liquidation Trust Assets (subject to the limitations described herein);

 

(f)           sell, liquidate, transfer, assign, distribute, abandon, or otherwise dispose of the Liquidation Trust Assets or any part thereof or interest therein upon such terms as the Liquidation Trustee determines to be necessary, appropriate, or desirable; provided, however, that the Liquidation Trustee shall not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the Liquidation Trust’s membership interests in the Wind-Down Entity without further approval of the Bankruptcy Court;

 

(g)           negotiate, incur, and pay the Liquidation Trust Expenses;

The Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board will have all rights and powers of a corporate board appointed under Delaware law.

 

36

 

5.4.6   Limitation of Liability. The Liquidation Trustee shall enjoy all of the rights, powers, immunities, and privileges applicable to a Bankruptcy Code chapter 7 trustee with respect to limitations of liability. The Liquidation Trustee may, in connection with the performance of its functions, in its sole and absolute discretion, consult with its attorneys, accountants, advisors, and agents, and shall not be liable for any act taken, or omitted to be taken, or suggested to be done in accordance with advice or opinions rendered by such Persons, regardless of whether such advice or opinions were in writing. Notwithstanding such authority, the Liquidation Trustee shall be under no obligation to consult with any such attorneys, accountants, advisors, or agents, and its determination not to do so shall not result in the imposition of liability on the Liquidation Trustee unless such determination is based on willful misconduct, gross negligence, or fraud. Persons dealing with the Liquidation Trustee shall look only to the Liquidation Trust Assets to satisfy any liability incurred by the Liquidation Trustee to such Person in carrying out the terms of the Plan or the Liquidation Trust Agreement, and the Liquidation Trustee shall have no personal obligation to satisfy such liability.

5.4.7   Indemnification. The Wind-Down Entity and the Liquidation Trust shall indemnify the Liquidation Trust Indemnified Parties for, and shall defend and hold them harmless against, any loss, liability, damage, judgment, fine, penalty, claim, demand, settlement, cost, or expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of their respective professionals) incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Liquidation Trust Indemnified Parties (which gross negligence or willful misconduct, if any, must be determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction) for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by the Liquidation Trust Indemnified Parties in connection with the acceptance, administration, exercise, and performance of their duties under the Plan or the Liquidation Trust Agreement, as applicable. An act or omission taken with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and not inconsistent therewith, will be conclusively deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct. In addition, the Wind-Down Entity and the Liquidation Trust shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Liquidation Trust Indemnified Parties, from and against and with respect to any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees arising out of or due to their actions or omissions, or consequences of such actions or omissions, with respect to the Liquidation Trust, the Remaining Debtors, or the implementation or administration of the Plan if the Liquidation Trust Indemnified Party acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Liquidation Trust or the Remaining Debtors. To the extent the Wind-Down Entity or the Liquidation Trust indemnifies, defends, and holds harmless any Liquidation Trust Indemnified Parties as provided above, the legal fees and related costs incurred by counsel to the Liquidation Trustee or the Remaining Debtors Manager in monitoring or participating in the defense of such claims giving rise to the right of indemnification shall be paid as Liquidation Trust Expenses. The costs and expenses incurred in enforcing the right of indemnification in this Section 5.4.7 shall be paid by the Wind-Down Entity or the Liquidation Trust, as applicable.

5.4.8   Insurance.

The Liquidation Trustee may invest Cash of the Liquidation Trust, including any earnings thereon or proceeds therefrom, any Cash realized from the liquidation of the Liquidation Trust Assets, or any Cash that is remitted to the Liquidation Trust from the Wind-Down Entity, which investments, for the avoidance of doubt, will not be required to comply with Bankruptcy Code section 345(b); provided, however, that such investments must be investments that are permitted to be made by a “liquidating trust” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(d), as reflected therein, or under applicable guidelines, rulings, or other controlling authorities.

38

 

5.4.12 Registration and Transfer of the Liquidation Trust Interests.

(a)       The record holders of the Liquidation Trust Interests shall be recorded and set forth in a registry maintained by, or at the direction of, the Liquidation Trustee expressly for such purpose. Such obligation may be satisfied by the Liquidation Trust’s retention of an institutional transfer agent for the maintenance of such registry, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, the Liquidation Trust may, in connection with any Exchange Act Registration with respect to the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests, in its discretion cause the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests to be issued in book entry form.

(b)       Upon their issuance as of the Effective Date, and thereafter until the effectiveness of an Exchange Act Registration of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests, the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests will be subject to restrictions on transfer under the Liquidation Trust Agreement, which restrictions shall prohibit the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests from being certificated or transferable except by operation of law or by will or the laws of descent and distribution, in each case following written notice to the Liquidation Trust. Upon the effectiveness of an Exchange Act Registration of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests, such transfer restrictions under the Liquidation Trust Agreement shall terminate and the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests may be transferable by the Holders thereof to the extent otherwise permissible under applicable law. The Liquidation Trust shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause an Exchange Act Registration of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests to become effective, and for the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests to be quoted with an OTC ticker symbol, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, but in no event shall the Liquidation Trust file an Exchange Act registration statement any later than may be required under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c)       Upon their issuance as of the Effective Date, and thereafter until (i) the effectiveness of an Exchange Act Registration of the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests or (ii) the good faith determination by the Liquidation Trustee, in its discretion, that termination of the transfer restrictions under the Liquidation Trust Agreement would not require the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests to be registered under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests will be subject to restrictions on transfer under the Liquidation Trust Agreement, which restrictions shall prohibit the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests from being certificated or transferable except by operation of law or by will or the laws of descent and distribution, in each case following written notice to the Liquidation Trust. Upon (i) the effectiveness of an Exchange Act Registration of the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests or (ii) the good faith determination by the Liquidation Trustee, in its discretion, that termination of the transfer restrictions under the Liquidation Trust Agreement would not require the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests to be registered under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, such transfer restrictions under the Liquidation Trust Agreement shall terminate and the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests may be transferable by the Holders thereof to the extent otherwise permissible under applicable law; provided, however, that the Liquidation Trust shall not be under any obligation (and does not currently intend) to make any effort to cause the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests to be registered under the Exchange Act or otherwise to facilitate the trading of, or the development of any trading market for, the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests.

5.4.13 Exemption. To the extent the Liquidation Trust Interests are deemed to be “securities,” the issuance of such interests under the Plan are exempt, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1145, from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state and local laws requiring registration of securities.

39

5.4.14 Contribution of Contributed Claims. On the Effective Date, all Contributed Claims will be irrevocably contributed to the Liquidation Trust and shall thereafter be Liquidation Trust Actions for all purposes. No Person may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, the Liquidation Trust Agreement, or the Disclosure Statement to any Contributed Claims against such Person as any indication that the Liquidation Trust will not pursue any and all available Contributed Claims against such Person. The objection to the Allowance of any Claims will not in any way limit the ability or the right of the Liquidation Trust to assert, commence, or prosecute any Contributed Claims. Nothing contained in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, the Liquidation Trust Agreement, or the Disclosure Statement will be deemed to be a waiver, release, or relinquishment of any Contributed Claims that the Contributing Claimants had immediately prior to the Effective Date. The Liquidation Trust shall have, retain, reserve, and be entitled to assert all Contributed Claims fully as if the Contributed Claims had not been contributed to the Liquidation Trust in accordance with the Plan and the Liquidation Trust Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) the Contributed Claims shall not include the rights of any of the Contributing Claimants to receive the Distributions, if any, to which they are entitled under the Plan; (b) the Contributed Claims shall not include any Causes of Action against any of the Released Parties; and (c) in the exercise of its reasonable discretion and in accordance with the Liquidation Trust Agreement, the Liquidation Trust shall not be obligated to pursue all or any given Contributed Claims.

5.4.15 Pursuit and Resolution of Liquidation Trust Actions. The Liquidation Trust, as a successor in interest to the Debtors, the Estates, and the Contributing Claimants, may, and will have the exclusive right, power, and interest on behalf of itself, the Debtors, the Estates, and the Contributing Claimants to institute, commence, file, pursue, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, waive, dismiss, or withdraw any and all Liquidation Trust Actions without any further order of the Bankruptcy Court, except as otherwise provided in the Liquidation Trust Agreement. From and after the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust, in accordance with Bankruptcy Code section 1123(b)(3), shall serve as a representative of the Estates with respect to any and all Liquidation Trust Actions that were Estate Assets and shall retain and possess the right to institute, commence, file, pursue, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, waive, dismiss, or withdraw, as appropriate, any and all Liquidation Trust Actions in any court or other tribunal.

5.4.16 Termination of the Liquidation Trust. The Liquidation Trustee and the Liquidation Trust shall be discharged or terminated, as the case may be, at such time as: (a) the Liquidation Trustee determines that the pursuit of additional Liquidation Trust Actions is not likely to yield sufficient additional proceeds to justify further pursuit of such Liquidation Trust Actions and (b) all Distributions required to be made by the Liquidation Trust to the Holders of Allowed Claims and to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries under the Plan and the Liquidation Trust Agreement have been made, but in no event shall the Liquidation Trust be terminated later than five (5) years from the Effective Date unless the Bankruptcy Court, upon motion made within the six-month period before such fifth anniversary (and, in the event of further extension, by order of the Bankruptcy Court, upon motion made at least six (6) months before the end of the preceding extension), determines that a fixed period extension (not to exceed three (3) years, together with any prior extensions, unless a favorable letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that any further extension would not adversely affect the status of the Liquidation Trust as a liquidating trust for federal income tax purposes) is necessary to facilitate or complete the recovery on, and liquidation of, the Liquidation Trust Assets. Upon termination of the Liquidation Trust, any remaining Liquidation Trust Assets that exceed the amounts required to be paid under the Plan may be transferred by the Liquidation Trustee to the American Bankruptcy Institute Endowment Fund.

40

5.4.17  Control Provision. To the extent there is any inconsistency between the Plan as it relates to the Liquidation Trust and the Liquidation Trust Agreement, the Plan shall control.

5.5         Preservation of Privileges and Defenses. The actions taken by the Debtors, the Wind-Down Entity, the Liquidation Trust, the Remaining Debtors, or any of their respective Related Parties in connection with the Plan shall not be (or be deemed to be) a waiver of any privilege or defense of the Debtors, the Wind-Down Entity, the Liquidation Trust, or the Remaining Debtors, as applicable, including any attorney-client privilege or work-product doctrine. Notwithstanding any Debtors providing any privileged information related to any Liquidation Trust Actions to the Liquidation Trustee, the Liquidation Trust, the Wind-Down CEO, the Wind-Down Entity, the Remaining Debtors Manager, the Remaining Debtors, or any Person associated with any of the foregoing, such privileged information shall be without waiver in recognition of the joint, common, or successor interest in prosecuting the Liquidation Trust Actions and shall remain privileged. The Wind-Down Entity and the Liquidation Trust each shall retain the right to waive its own privileges. Only the Liquidation Trustee shall have the right to waive the attorney-client privilege, work-product doctrine, or other protections as to the Debtors, the Remaining Debtors, and the Liquidation Trust.

5.6         Preservation of Rights of Action.

5.6.1    Maintenance of Avoidance Actions and Causes of Action. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, from and after the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust will retain all rights to institute, commence, file, pursue, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, waive, dismiss, or withdraw, as appropriate, any and all of the Debtors’ or Estates’ Causes of Action and Causes of Action that are Contributed Claims (whether existing as of the Petition Date or thereafter arising), and all Avoidance Actions, all as Liquidation Trust Actions, in each case in any court or other tribunal, including in an adversary proceeding Filed in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Liquidation Trust, as a successor in interest to the Debtors, the Estates, and the Contributing Claimants, may, and will have the exclusive right, power, and interest on behalf of itself, the Debtors, the Estates, and the Contributing Claimants to, enforce, sue on, settle, compromise, transfer, or assign (or decline to do any of the foregoing) any or all of the Liquidation Trust Actions without notice to or approval from the Bankruptcy Court. In accordance with the Plan, and pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 363 and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, from and after the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust may compromise and settle Liquidation Trust Actions.

41

 

5.6.2    Preservation of All Liquidation Trust Actions Not Expressly Settled or Released. The failure to specifically identify in the Disclosure Statement or the Plan any potential or existing Avoidance Actions or Causes of Action as a Liquidation Trust Action is not intended to and shall not limit the rights of the Liquidation Trust to pursue any such Avoidance Actions or Causes of Action. Unless a Liquidation Trust Action is expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or any Final Order (including the Confirmation Order), the Debtors expressly reserve such Liquidation Trust Action for later resolution by the Liquidation Trust (including any Avoidance Actions or Causes of Action not specifically identified or of which the Debtors may presently be unaware or that may arise or exist by reason of additional facts or circumstances unknown to the Debtors at this time or facts or circumstances that may change or be different from those the Debtors now believe to exist). As such, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, waiver, estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise), or laches will apply to any such Avoidance Actions or Causes of Action upon or after Confirmation of the Plan based on the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, or the Confirmation Order, except when such Avoidance Actions or Causes of Action have been expressly released. In addition, the right to pursue or adopt any claims alleged in any lawsuit in which any Debtor, the Liquidation Trust, or the Wind-Down Entity is a plaintiff, defendant, or an interested party is fully reserved as against any Person that is not a Released Party, including the plaintiffs or co-defendants in such lawsuits.
 
5.7         Cancellation of Instruments. Except to the extent necessary to give effect to the treatment of any Holder of an Allowed Class 1 Claim pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Plan and except with respect to any executory contracts and unexpired leases that are assumed and assigned to the Wind-Down Entity under the Plan or otherwise assumed and assigned pursuant to a Final Order, any agreement, bond, certificate, contract, indenture, lease, note, security, warrant, or other instrument or document evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligation of the Debtors shall be deemed cancelled on the Effective Date, and all Liens, mortgages, pledges, grants, trusts, and other interests relating thereto shall be automatically cancelled, and all obligations of the Debtors thereunder or in any way related thereto shall be discharged.
 
5.8         Substantive Consolidation.
 
(a)       Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the approval, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 105(a), 541, 1123, and 1129, of the substantive consolidation of the Debtors in the manner set forth in Section 3.11.2(c) of the Plan. Notwithstanding such substantive consolidation, however, fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930 shall be due and payable by each individual Debtor through the Effective Date.
 
(b)       The substantive consolidation effected pursuant to the Plan shall not affect, without limitation, (i) the Debtors’, the Wind-Down Entity’s, or the Liquidation Trust’s defenses to any Claim or Cause of Action, including the ability to assert any counterclaim; (ii) the Debtors’, the Wind-Down Entity’s, or the Liquidation Trust’s setoff or recoupment rights; (iii) requirements for any third party to establish mutuality prior to substantive consolidation in order to assert a right of setoff against the Debtors, the Wind-Down Entity, or the Liquidation Trust; or (iv) distributions to the Debtors, the Estates, the Wind-Down Entity, or the Liquidation Trust out of any insurance policies or proceeds of such policies.
 
(c)       The Disclosure Statement and the Plan shall be deemed to be a motion requesting that the Bankruptcy Court approve the substantive consolidation contemplated by the Plan. Unless an objection to the proposed substantive consolidation is made in writing by any Creditor purportedly affected by such substantive consolidation on or before the deadline to object to confirmation of the Plan, or such other date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court, the substantive consolidation contemplated by the Plan may be approved by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing. In the event any such objections are timely filed, a hearing with respect thereto shall be scheduled by the Bankruptcy Court, which hearing may, but need not, be the Confirmation Hearing.
 
(d)       If the Bankruptcy Court determines that substantive consolidation of any given Debtors is not appropriate, then the Debtors may request that the Bankruptcy Court otherwise confirm the Plan and approve the treatment of and Distributions to the different Classes under the Plan on an adjusted, Debtor-by-Debtor basis. Furthermore, the Debtors reserve their rights (i) to seek confirmation of the Plan without implementing substantive consolidation of any given Debtor, and, in the Debtors’ reasonable discretion after consultation with each of the Committees, to request that the Bankruptcy Court approve the treatment of and Distributions to any given Class under the Plan on an adjusted, Debtor-by-Debtor basis; and (ii) after consultation with each of the Committees, to seek to substantively consolidate all Debtors into Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC if all Impaired Classes entitled to vote on the Plan vote to accept the Plan.

ARTICLE VI

EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

6.1          Assumption of Certain Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

6.1.1   Assumption of Agreements.

On the Effective Date, the Debtors shall assume all executory contracts and unexpired leases that are listed on the Schedule of Assumed Agreements and shall assign such contracts and leases to the Wind-Down Entity.

The Debtors reserve the right to amend the Schedule of Assumed Agreements at any time prior to the Effective Date, in the Debtors’ reasonable discretion after consultation with each of the Committees, (i) to delete any executory contract or unexpired lease and provide for its rejection under the Plan or otherwise, or (ii) to add any executory contract or unexpired lease and provide for its assumption and assignment under the Plan. The Debtors will provide notice of any amendment to the Schedule of Assumed Agreements to the party or parties to those agreements affected by the amendment.

Unless otherwise specified on the Schedule of Assumed Agreements, each executory contract and unexpired lease listed or to be listed therein 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 also listed on the Schedule of Assumed Agreements.

The Confirmation Order will constitute a Bankruptcy Court order approving the assumption and assignment, on the Effective Date, of all executory contracts and unexpired leases identified on the Schedule of Assumed Agreements.

43

6.1.2   Cure Payments.

Any amount that must be paid under Bankruptcy Code section 365(b)(1) to cure a default under and compensate the non-debtor party to an executory contract or unexpired lease to be assumed under the Plan is identified as the “Cure Payment” on the Schedule of Assumed Agreements. Unless the parties mutually agree to a different date, such payment shall be made in Cash within ten (10) Business Days following the later of: (i) the Effective Date and (ii) entry of a Final Order resolving any disputes regarding (A) the amount of any Cure Payment, (B) the ability of the Wind-Down Entity to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code section 365 with respect to a contract or lease to be assumed, to the extent required, or (C) any other matter pertaining to assumption and assignment.

Pending the Bankruptcy Court’s ruling on any such dispute, the executory contract or unexpired lease at issue shall be deemed assumed by the Debtors and assigned to the WindDown Entity, unless otherwise agreed by the parties or ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

6.1.3   Objections to Assumption/Cure Payment Amounts.

Any Person that is a party to an executory contract or unexpired lease that will be assumed and assigned under the Plan and that objects to such assumption or assignment (including the proposed Cure Payment) must File with the Bankruptcy Court and serve on parties entitled to notice a written statement and, if applicable, a supporting declaration stating the basis for its objection. This statement and, if applicable, declaration must be Filed and served on or before the deadline established by the Disclosure Statement Order. Any Person that fails to timely File and serve such a statement and, if applicable, a declaration shall be deemed to waive any and all objections to the proposed assumption and assignment (including the proposed Cure Payment) of its contract or lease.

In the absence of a timely objection by a Person that is a party to an executory contract or unexpired lease, the Confirmation Order shall constitute a conclusive determination regarding the amount of any cure and compensation due under the applicable executory contract or unexpired lease, as well as a conclusive finding that the Wind-Down Entity has demonstrated adequate assurance of future performance with respect to such executory contract or unexpired lease, to the extent required.

6.1.4   Resolution of Claims Relating to Assumed Contracts and Leases. Payment of the Cure Payment established under the Plan, by the Confirmation Order, or by any other order of the Bankruptcy Court, with respect to an assumed and assigned executory contract or unexpired lease, shall be deemed to satisfy, in full, any prepetition or postpetition arrearage or other Claim (including any Claim asserted in a Filed proof of claim or listed on the Schedules) with respect to such contract or lease (irrespective of whether the Cure Payment is less than the amount set forth in such proof of claim or the Schedules). Upon the tendering of the Cure Payment, any such Filed or Scheduled Claim shall be disallowed with prejudice, without further order of the Bankruptcy Court or action by any Person.

44

6.2          Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

6.2.1 Rejected Agreements. On the Effective Date all executory contracts and unexpired leases of the Debtors shall be rejected except for (i) executory contracts and unexpired leases that have been previously assumed or rejected by the Debtors, (ii) executory contracts and unexpired leases that are set forth in the Schedule of Assumed Agreements, and (iii) any agreement, obligation, security interest, transaction, or similar undertaking that the Debtors believe is not executory or a lease, but that is later determined by the Bankruptcy Court to be an executory contract or unexpired lease that is subject to assumption or rejection under Bankruptcy Code section 365. For the avoidance of doubt, executory contracts and unexpired leases that have been previously assumed or assumed and assigned pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court shall not be affected by the Plan. The Confirmation Order will constitute a Bankruptcy Court order approving the rejection, on the Effective Date, of the executory contracts and unexpired leases to be rejected under the Plan.

6.2.2 Rejection Claims Bar Date. Any Rejection Claim or other Claim for damages arising from the rejection under the Plan of an executory contract or unexpired lease must be Filed and served no later than the Rejection Claims Bar Date. Any such Rejection Claims that are not timely Filed and served will be forever disallowed, barred, and unenforceable, and Persons holding such Claims will not receive and be barred from receiving any Distributions on account of such untimely Claims. If one or more Rejection Claims are timely Filed pursuant to the Plan, the Liquidation Trust may object to any Rejection Claim on or prior to the Claim Objection Deadline. For the avoidance of doubt, the Rejection Claims Bar Date established by the Plan does not alter any rejection claims bar date established by a prior order of the Bankruptcy Court with respect to any executory contract or unexpired leases that was previously rejected in these Chapter 11 Cases.

ARTICLE VII

 

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

7.1          Timing of Distributions for Allowed Claims. Except as otherwise provided herein or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, all Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims as of the applicable Distribution Date shall be made on or as soon as practicable after the applicable Distribution Date; provided, however, that the Liquidation Trustee, in its discretion, may defer Distributions to a given Holder of Liquidation Trust Interests (other than the final Distribution) if the amount available for Distribution to such Holder is not at least $250. Distributions on account of Claims that first become Allowed Claims after the applicable Distribution Date shall be made pursuant to Section 8.4 of the Plan and on the day selected by the Liquidation Trustee. Distributions made as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date or such other date set forth herein shall be deemed to have been made on such date.

45

7.2          Calculating Distributions and Related Matters. The Liquidation Trust shall undertake in its reasonable discretion to make in accordance with the Plan all calculations of Available Cash, Net Note Claims, Net Unit Claims, and of other amounts for or relating to Distributions for Holders of Allowed Claims to be made from the Liquidation Trust or the Wind-Down Entity or for reserves for Holders of Contingent Claims, Disputed Claims, and Unliquidated Claims to be established by the Liquidation Trust, and may establish and holdback from Distributions reasonable reserves for other contingencies. When calculating Distributions (and amounts to hold in Distribution Reserves) with respect to Unit Claims and Note Claims that are to be treated as Class 3 Claims under the Plan, the Outstanding Principal Amounts and Prepetition Distributions to be utilized by the Liquidation Trust shall be as set forth in the Schedule of Principal Amounts and Prepetition Distributions or as determined pursuant to the following section.

 

7.3          Application of the Schedule of Principal Amounts and Prepetition Distributions. For any Noteholder or Unitholder that is not a Disputing Claimant, all Distributions and reserves shall be made or established based on the applicable amounts in the Schedule of Principal Amounts and Prepetition Distributions. For any Unitholder that is a Disputing Claimant or any Noteholder that is a Disputing Claimant holding Note Claims that are to be treated as Class 3 Claims under the Plan, in connection with a calculation by the Liquidation Trust for a Distribution or to establish reserves, unless otherwise provided in a Bankruptcy Court order, all calculations with respect to such Disputing Claimant shall be made based on the aggregate claim amounts asserted by the Disputing Claimant in the applicable proof of claim or, if no proof of claim was Filed by the Disputing Claimant, reflected in the Schedules, or, for Unliquidated Claims, as estimated in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidation Trust, and all such Liquidation Trust Interests and Cash shall be held in a Distribution Reserve unless and until (i) the Liquidation Trust and the particular Disputing Claimant agree regarding the Outstanding Principal Amounts and Prepetition Distributions to utilize or (ii) a Final Order establishes such Outstanding Principal Amounts and Prepetition Distributions, including, if applicable, after taking into account any Liquidation Trust Actions that the Liquidation Trust may pursue against the particular Disputing Claimant (as to which all rights of the Liquidation Trust are reserved).

 

7.4          Interest and Other Amounts Regarding Claims. Except to the extent provided (i) in Bankruptcy Code section 506(b) and Allowed by a Final Order or otherwise agreed, (ii) in the Plan, or (iii) in the Confirmation Order, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims, and no Holder of an Allowed Claim shall be entitled to interest, penalties, fees, or late charges accruing or chargeable on any Claim from and after the Petition Date.

 

7.5         Distributions by Liquidation Trustee or Wind-Down CEO as Disbursing Agent. The Liquidation Trustee or Wind-Down CEO shall serve as the disbursing agent under the Plan with respect to Distributions required pursuant to the Plan to be paid by, respectively, the Liquidation Trust or the Wind-Down Entity. The Liquidation Trustee and Wind-Down CEO shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of any duties as disbursing agent.

46

7.6          Means of Cash Payment. Cash payments under the Plan shall be made, at the option and in the sole discretion of the Liquidation Trustee, by (i) checks drawn on or (ii) wire transfer, electronic funds transfer, or ACH from a domestic bank. Cash payments to foreign Creditors may be made, at the option and in the sole discretion of the Liquidation Trustee by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction. Cash payments made pursuant to the Plan in the form of checks shall be null and void if not cashed within 180 calendar days of the date of the issuance thereof. Requests for reissuance of any check within 180 calendar days of the date of the issuance thereof shall be made directly to the Liquidation Trustee.

 

7.7          Form of Currency for Distributions. All Distributions under the Plan shall be made in U.S. Dollars. Where a Claim has been denominated in foreign currency on a proof of claim, the Allowed amount of such Claim shall be calculated in U.S. Dollars based upon the currency conversion rate in place as of the Petition Date and in accordance with Bankruptcy Code section 502(b).

 

7.8         Fractional Distributions. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no payment of fractional cents shall be made pursuant to the Plan. Whenever any payment of a fraction of a cent under the Plan would otherwise be required, the actual Distribution made shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole penny (up or down), with half cents or more being rounded up and fractions less than half of a cent being rounded down.

 

7.9         De Minimis Distributions. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Liquidation Trust and the Wind-Down Entity shall not be required to distribute, and shall not distribute, Cash or other property to the Holder of any Allowed Claim if the amount of Cash or other property to be distributed on account of such Claim on any given Distribution Date is less than $10.00, and such amount shall be distributed to other Creditors on such Distribution Date in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Any Holder of an Allowed Claim on account of which the amount of Cash or other property to be distributed on any given Distribution Date is less than $10.00 shall be forever barred from asserting any Claim with respect to such eliminated Distribution against any Estate Assets.

 

7.10        No Distributions With Respect to Certain Claims. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no Distributions or other consideration of any kind shall be made on account of any Contingent Claim, Disputed Claim, or Unliquidated Claim unless and until such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, and then only to the extent that such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim and as provided under the Plan for such Allowed Claim. Nonetheless, in undertaking the calculations concerning Allowed Claims under the Plan, including the determination of Distributions due to the Holders of Allowed Claims, each Contingent Claim, Disputed Claim, or Unliquidated Claim shall be treated as if it were an Allowed Claim (which, for Unliquidated Claims, shall mean they shall be treated as if Allowed in such amounts as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidation Trust), except that if the Bankruptcy Court estimates the likely portion of such a Claim to be Allowed or authorized or the Bankruptcy Court or the Holder of such Claim and the Liquidation Trustee otherwise determine the amount or number that would constitute a sufficient reserve for such a Claim, such amount or number as determined by the Bankruptcy Court or by agreement of the Holder of such Claim and the Liquidation Trustee shall be used with respect to such Claim. Distributions due in respect of a Contingent Claim, Disputed Claim, or Unliquidated Claim shall be held in reserve by the Liquidation Trust in one or more Distribution Reserves. The Liquidation Trust will elect to treat any Distribution Reserve as a “Disputed Ownership Fund,” pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.468B-9(c)(2)(ii). As outlined in this election, Creditors holding such Claims are not treated as transferors of the money or property transferred to the “Disputed Ownership Fund.” For federal income tax purposes, a “Disputed Ownership Fund” is treated as the owner of all assets that it holds. A “Disputed Ownership Fund” is treated as a C corporation for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code. A “Disputed Ownership Fund” must file all required income and information tax returns and make all tax payments.

47

7.11        Distributions and Transfers Upon Resolution of Contingent Claims, Disputed Claims, or Unliquidated Claims. After an objection to a Disputed Claim is resolved or a Contingent Claim or Unliquidated Claim has been determined in whole or in part by a Final Order or by agreement, an amount of Liquidation Trust Interests and/or Cash held in the Disputed Ownership Fund corresponding to the amount of any resulting Allowed Claim (and/or any applicable Net Note Claim or Net Unit Claim with respect thereto) shall be transferred, net of any tax payable by the Disputed Ownership Fund with respect to the transfer, in a taxable transaction to the Holder of the formerly Contingent Claim, Disputed Claim, or Unliquidated Claim. Upon each such resolution of a Claim against the Disputed Ownership Fund and such transfer with respect to any resulting Allowed Claim, (i) any remaining Liquidation Trust Interests in the Disputed Ownership Fund that had been held with respect to such formerly Contingent Claim, Disputed Claim, or Unliquidated Claim prior to its resolution shall be cancelled; and (ii) any remaining Cash in the Disputed Ownership Fund that had been held with respect to such formerly Contingent Claim, Disputed Claim, or Unliquidated Claim prior to its resolution shall be transferred, net of any tax payable by the Disputed Ownership Fund with respect to such transfers, for use as follows, provided that such Cash transfers shall be treated as a taxable transfer by the Disputed Ownership Fund and to the recipients of such Cash. Such remaining Cash may be utilized for payment, allocation, or reserve in accordance with the Plan for (a) unpaid or unutilized amounts for either Wind-Down Expenses or Liquidation Trust Funding or (b) any post-Confirmation reserve requirements of the Wind-Down Entity in connection with the Plan, any agreements, or any Bankruptcy Court orders. To the extent any such remaining Cash is not so utilized, it shall become Available Cash for distribution to the Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests (including each Holder of Liquidation Trust Interests to the extent it obtains an Allowed Claim as a result of resolution of a formerly Contingent Claim, Disputed Claim, or Unliquidated Claim) in a manner reasonably allocated by the Liquidation Trust so that all Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests will receive Cash in proportion to their Liquidation Trust Interests, net of any tax payable by the Disputed Ownership Fund with respect to the respective transfers.

7.12        Delivery of Distributions. Distributions in respect of Liquidation Trust Interests shall be made to Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests as of the record date set for such Distribution. Distributions to Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests or Allowed Claims that have not been converted to Liquidation Trust Interests shall be made (a) at the addresses set forth in the proofs of claim Filed by such Holders, (b) at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if no proof of claim has been Filed, or (c) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Claims Agent or the Liquidation Trustee. If any Holder’s Distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further Distributions to such Holder shall be made unless and until the Liquidation Trustee is notified of such Holder’s then-current address. The responsibility to provide the Claims Agent or the Liquidation Trustee with a current address of a Holder of Liquidation Trust Interests or Claims shall always be the responsibility of such Holder. Amounts in respect of undeliverable Distributions made by the Liquidation Trustee shall be held in trust on behalf of the Holder of the Liquidation Trust Interest or Claim to which they are payable by the Liquidation Trustee until the earlier of the date that such undeliverable Distributions are claimed by such Holder and 180 calendar days after the date the undeliverable Distributions were made.

48

7.13        Application of Distribution Record Date & Other Transfer Restrictions. At the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the claims registers for all Claims shall be closed, and there shall be no further changes in the record holders of any Claims. Except as provided herein, the Liquidation Trust, the Wind-Down Entity, and each of their respective Related Parties shall have no obligation to recognize any putative transfer of Claims occurring after the Distribution Record Date and shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal for all purposes hereunder with only those record holders stated on the claims registers as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date irrespective of the number of Distributions to be made under the Plan to such Persons or the date of such Distributions. In addition, the Liquidation Trust and each of its Related Parties shall have no obligation to recognize any putative transfer of Notes or Units occurring at any time prior to the Effective Date to which the Debtors did not expressly consent and shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal for all purposes hereunder with only the Holder of particular Notes or Units as reflected on the Debtors’ books and records for purposes of effecting Distributions of Liquidation Trust Interests. Nothing in this Section 7.13 is intended to or will impair or limit (i) the transferability of any Liquidation Trust Interests once such Liquidation Trust Interests have been Distributed to the record holders of Allowed Note Claims, Allowed General Unsecured Claims, and Allowed Unit Claims or (ii) the right of Holders at the record dates established from time to time regarding Liquidation Trust Interests to receive all Distributions in respect of such Liquidation Trust Interests when any Distributions are made.

7.14        Withholding, Payment, and Reporting Requirements Regarding Distributions. All Distributions under the Plan shall, to the extent applicable, comply with all tax withholding, payment, and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, provincial, local, or foreign taxing authority, and all Distributions shall be subject to any such withholding, payment, and reporting requirements. The Liquidation Trust shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding, payment, and reporting requirements, including, to the extent such information is not already available to the Liquidation Trust, requiring each Holder of a Liquidation Trust Interest or Claim to provide an executed current Form W-9, Form W-8, or similar tax form as a prerequisite to receiving a Distribution. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, (a) each Holder of a Liquidation Trust Interest or an Allowed Claim that is to receive a Distribution pursuant to the Plan shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any governmental unit, including income, withholding, and other tax obligations, on account of such Distribution, and including, in the case of any Holder of a Disputed Claim that has become an Allowed Claim, any tax obligation that would be imposed on the Liquidation Trust in connection with such Distribution; and (b) no Distribution shall be made to or on behalf of such Holder pursuant to the Plan unless and until such Holder has made arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Liquidation Trust for the payment and satisfaction of such withholding tax obligations or such tax obligation that would be imposed in connection with such Distribution.

7.15        Defenses and Setoffs. On and after the Effective Date, the Wind-Down Entity and the Liquidation Trust, as applicable, shall have all of the Debtors’ and the Estates’ rights under Bankruptcy Code section 558. Nothing under the Plan shall affect the rights and defenses of the Debtors, the Estates, the Wind-Down Entity, or the Liquidation Trust in respect of any Claim, including all rights in respect of legal and equitable objections, defenses, setoffs, or recoupment against such Claims. Accordingly, the Liquidation Trust may, but shall not be required to, set off against any Claim or any Allowed Claim, and the payments or other Distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of such Claim, claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors, the Estates, the Wind-Down Entity, or the Liquidation Trust, as applicable, may have against the Holder of such Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any such claim or rights that may exist against such Holder.

7.16        Allocation of Distributions. All Distributions received under the Plan by Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests and Claims shall be deemed to be allocated first to the principal amount of such Claim, or the Claim to which the applicable Liquidation Trust Interest relates, as determined for United States federal income tax purposes, and then to accrued interest, if any, with respect to such Claim.

7.17        Joint Distributions. The Liquidation Trustee may, in its sole discretion, make Distributions jointly to any Holder of a Claim and any other Person that the Liquidation Trustee has determined to have an interest in such Claim.

7.18        Forfeiture of Distributions. If the Holder of a Claim fails to cash a check payable to it within the time period set forth in Section 7.6, fails to claim an undeliverable Distribution within the time limit set forth in Section 7.12, or fails to complete and return to the Liquidation Trustee the appropriate Form W-8 or Form W-9 within 180 calendar days after a request for the completion and return of the appropriate form pursuant to Section 7.14 (or such later time as approved by a Bankruptcy Court order), then such Holder shall be deemed to have forfeited its right to any reserved and future Distributions under the Plan. Any such forfeited Distributions shall be deemed Available Cash for all purposes, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary.

ARTICLE VIII

 

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED, CONTINGENT, AND UNLIQUIDATED
CLAIMS AND DISTRIBUTIONS WITH RESPECT THERETO

8.1         Objections to and Resolution of Disputed Claims, Including Any Claims of Excluded Parties or Disputing Claimants. From and after the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust shall have the exclusive authority to compromise, resolve, and Allow any Disputed Claim without the need to obtain approval from the Bankruptcy Court, and any agreement entered into by the Liquidation Trust with respect to the Allowance of any Claim shall be conclusive evidence and a final determination of the Allowance of such Claim; provided, however, that, under the Plan, all Claims, including Note Claims or Unit Claims, asserted by any of the Excluded Parties or any Disputing Claimant are Disputed Claims in their entirety and will have no right to receive any Distributions under the Plan unless and until such Claims are affirmatively Allowed by a Final Order.

50

8.2          Claim Objections. All objections to Claims (other than Professional Fee Claims, which shall be governed by Section 11.2 of the Plan, but including any Claims of Excluded Parties or Disputing Claimants) shall be Filed by the Liquidation Trust on or before the Claim Objection Deadline, which date may be extended on presentment of an order to the Bankruptcy Court by the Liquidation Trust prior to the expiration of such period and without need for notice or hearing. The Claim Objection Deadline shall be automatically extended as provided by Local Rule 9006-2 upon the Filing of a proposed form of order by the Liquidation Trust requesting an extension of the Claim Objection Deadline. If a timely objection has not been Filed to a proof of claim or the Schedules have not been amended with respect to a Claim that was Scheduled by the Debtors but was not Scheduled as contingent, unliquidated, or disputed, then the Claim to which the proof of claim or Scheduled Claim relates will be treated as an Allowed Claim.

8.3         Estimation of Certain Claims. The Liquidation Trust may, at any time, move for a Bankruptcy Court order estimating any Contingent Claim, Disputed Claim, or Unliquidated Claim pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 502(c), regardless of whether the Debtors have previously objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction and power 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. The estimated amount of any Claim so determined by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute the maximum recovery that the Holder thereof may recover after the ultimate liquidation of its Claim, irrespective of the actual amount that is ultimately Allowed. All of the aforementioned Claims objection, estimation, and resolution procedures are cumulative and are not necessarily exclusive of one another.

8.4         Distributions Following Allowance. Once a Contingent Claim, a Disputed Claim, or an Unliquidated Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, in whole or in part, including pursuant to the Plan, the Liquidation Trust shall distribute from the applicable Distribution Reserves to the Holder thereof the Distributions, if any, to which such Holder is then entitled under the Plan. Such Distributions, if any, shall be made on the next Distribution Date after the date on which the order or judgment allowing any such Claim becomes a Final Order or on which the Claim otherwise becomes an Allowed Claim, or, if there is no applicable Distribution Date, then within ninety (90) calendar days after the date on which the Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or allowed by a Final Order, no interest shall be paid on Contingent Claims, Disputed Claims, or Unliquidated Claims that later become Allowed Claims.

8.5         Disposition of Assets in Reserves After Disallowance. After an objection to a Disputed Claim is sustained or a Contingent Claim or Unliquidated Claim has been determined in whole or in part by a Final Order or by agreement, such that the Contingent Claim, Disputed Claim, or Unliquidated Claim is a Disallowed Claim in whole or in part, any Cash held in an applicable Distribution Reserve in respect of the particular Claim in excess of the Distributions due on account of any resulting Allowed Claim shall be used or distributed in a manner consistent with the Plan and any reserved Liquidation Trust Interests shall be cancelled.

54

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

11.1        Administrative Claims. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 11.1, all requests for payment of an Administrative Claim must be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court no later than the Administrative Claims Bar Date. In the event of an objection to Allowance of an Administrative Claim, the Bankruptcy Court shall determine the Allowed amount of such Administrative Claim. THE FAILURE TO FILE A MOTION REQUESTING ALLOWANCE OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIM ON OR BEFORE THE ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS BAR DATE, OR THE FAILURE TO SERVE SUCH MOTION TIMELY AND PROPERLY, SHALL RESULT IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIM BEING FOREVER BARRED AND DISALLOWED WITHOUT FURTHER ORDER OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT. IF FOR ANY REASON ANY SUCH ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIM IS INCAPABLE OF BEING FOREVER BARRED AND DISALLOWED, THEN THE HOLDER OF SUCH CLAIM SHALL IN NO EVENT HAVE RECOURSE TO ANY PROPERTY TO BE DISTRIBUTED PURSUANT TO THE PLAN. Postpetition statutory tax claims shall not be subject to any Administrative Claims Bar Date.

11.2        Professional Fee Claims. All final requests for payment of Professional Fee Claims pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 327, 328, 330, 331, 363, 503(b), or 1103 must be made by application Filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on counsel to the Liquidation Trust and counsel to the U.S. Trustee no later than forty-five (45) calendar days after the Effective Date, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. Objections to such applications must be Filed and served on counsel to the Liquidation Trust, counsel to the U.S. Trustee, and the requesting Professional on or before the date that is twenty-one (21) calendar days after the date on which the applicable application was served (or such longer period as may be allowed by order of the Bankruptcy Court or by agreement with the requesting Professional). All Professional Fee Claims shall be paid by the Liquidation Trust to the extent approved by order of the Bankruptcy Court within five (5) Business Days after entry of such order. On the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust shall establish the Professional Fee Reserve. The Professional Fee Reserve shall vest in the Liquidation Trust and shall be maintained by the Liquidation Trust in accordance with the Plan. The Liquidation Trust shall fully fund the Professional Fee Reserve on the Effective Date in an amount that is agreed upon by the Debtors and each of the Committees prior to the Confirmation Hearing and that approximates the total projected amount of unpaid Professional Fee Claims on the Effective Date. If the Debtors and the Committees are unable to agree on an amount by which the Professional Fee Reserve is to be funded, then any of those parties may submit the issue to the Bankruptcy Court, which, following notice and a hearing, shall fix the amount of the required funding. All Professional Fee Claims that have not previously been paid, otherwise satisfied, or withdrawn shall be paid from the Professional Fee Reserve. Any excess funds in the Professional Fee Reserve shall be released to the Liquidation Trust to be used for other purposes consistent with the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Professional Fee Reserve is an estimate and shall not be construed as a cap on the Liquidation Trust’s obligation to pay in full Allowed Professional Fee Claims.

55

11.3        Payment of Statutory Fees. All fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing, shall be paid by the Debtors on or before the Effective Date. All such fees that arise after the Effective Date shall be paid by the Liquidation Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) for the Remaining Debtors, quarterly fees for the quarter in which the Effective Date occurs will be calculated on the basis of all Estate Assets being distributed to the Liquidation Trust and the Wind-Down Entity on the Effective Date in the Chapter 11 Cases of the Remaining Debtors; (ii) for all other Debtors, quarterly fees for the quarter in which the Effective Date occurs will be calculated on the basis of disbursements (if any) made by such Debtors prior to the Effective Date; and (iii) quarterly fees for each quarter after the quarter in which the Effective Date occurs will be $325.00 for any Remaining Debtors through the entry of the Final Decree for any of the Remaining Debtors or the dismissal or conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases regarding the Remaining Debtors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the U.S. Trustee shall not be required to file any proofs of claim with respect to quarterly fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930.

11.4        Post-Effective-Date Reporting.

(a)        Beginning the first quarter-end following the Effective Date and continuing on each quarter-end thereafter until the Closing Date, within thirty (30) calendar days after the end of such period, the Liquidation Trust shall File quarterly reports with the Bankruptcy Court. Each quarterly report shall contain a cash flow statement which shall show Distributions by Class during the prior quarter, an unaudited balance sheet, the terms of any settlement of an individual Claim in an amount greater than $100,000, the terms of any litigation settlement where the Cause of Action or the Liquidation Trust Action was greater than $100,000 or the settlement is for more than $100,000, the terms of any sale of Estate Assets where the proceeds of such sale are $100,000 or greater, and such other information as the Liquidation Trust determines is material.

(b)        Until the effectiveness of an Exchange Act Registration for the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests, the Liquidation Trust shall, as soon as practicable after the end of each calendar year and upon termination of the Liquidation Trust, provide or make available a written report and account to the Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests, which report and account sets forth (i) the assets and liabilities of the Liquidation Trust at the end of such calendar year or upon termination and the receipts and disbursements of the Liquidation Trust for such calendar year or period, and (ii) changes in the Liquidation Trust Assets and actions taken by the Liquidation Trustee in the performance of its duties under the Plan or the Liquidation Trust Agreement that the Liquidation Trustee determines in its discretion may be relevant to Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests, such as material changes or actions that, in the opinion of the Liquidation Trustee, may have a material effect on the Liquidation Trust Assets that were not previously reported. The Liquidation Trust may provide or make available to Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests similar reports for such interim periods during the calendar year as the Liquidation Trustee deems advisable. So long as no Exchange Act Registration for the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests shall have become effective, such reports may be provided or made available to the Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests, in the discretion of the Liquidation Trustee, by any reasonable means, including U.S. mail, electronic transmission, display on IntraLinks or a similar virtual data room to which Holders shall have access, or publication to a publicly-available website or by press release distributed via a generally recognized business news service.

56

(c)        Following the effectiveness of an Exchange Act Registration for the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests, the Liquidation Trust shall provide or make available to the Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests, either by publication to a publicly-available website or by press release distributed via a generally recognized business news service, copies of all current reports on Form 8-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and annual reports on Form 10-K that may be required to be filed by the Liquidation Trust with the SEC under the Exchange Act, which copies are to be so provided or made available promptly after such filing.

11.5        Dissolution of the Committees. Each of the Committees shall be automatically dissolved on the Effective Date and, on the Effective Date, each member of the Committees (including each Related Party thereof) and each Professional retained by any of the Committees shall be released and discharged from all rights, duties, responsibilities, and obligations arising from, or related to, the Debtors, their membership on any of the Committees, the Plan, or the Chapter 11 Cases, except with respect to (a) any matters concerning any Professional Fee Claims held or asserted by any Professional retained by any of the Committees; and (b) the right of former Noteholder Committee and Unitholder Committee members to select a successor Noteholder Committee or Unitholder Committee designee, respectively, on the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board.

11.6        Modifications and Amendments.

(a)        In the Debtors’ reasonable discretion after consultation with each of the Committees, the Debtors may alter, amend, or modify the Plan under Bankruptcy Code section 1127(a) at any time at or prior to the conclusion of the Confirmation Hearing. All alterations, amendments, or modifications to the Plan must comply with Bankruptcy Code section 1127. The Debtors shall provide parties in interest with notice of such amendments or modifications as may be required by the Bankruptcy Rules or order of the Bankruptcy Court. A Creditor that has accepted the Plan shall be deemed to have accepted the Plan, as altered, amended, modified, or clarified, if the proposed alteration, amendment, modification, or clarification does not materially and adversely change the treatment of the Claim of such Creditor.

(b)        After entry of the Confirmation Order and prior to substantial consummation (as defined in Bankruptcy Code section 1101(2)) of the Plan, the Debtors or the Liquidation Trust, as applicable, may, under Bankruptcy Code section 1127(b), institute proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court to remedy any defect or omission or to reconcile any inconsistencies in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement approved with respect to the Plan, or the Confirmation Order, and such matters as may be necessary to carry out the purpose and effect of the Plan so long as such proceedings do not adversely affect the treatment of Holders of Claims under the Plan. Such proceedings must comply with Bankruptcy Code section 1127. To the extent required, prior notice of such proceedings shall be served in accordance with the Bankruptcy Rules or an order of the Bankruptcy Court. A Creditor that has accepted the Plan shall be deemed to have accepted the Plan, as altered, amended, modified, or clarified, if the proposed alteration, amendment, modification, or clarification does not materially and adversely change the treatment of the Claim of such Creditor.

11.7        Severability of Plan Provisions. If, at or before the Confirmation Hearing, the Bankruptcy Court holds that any Plan term or provision is invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court may alter or interpret that term or provision so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent possible consistent with the original purpose of that term or provision. That term or provision will then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the Plan’s remaining terms and provisions will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated. The Confirmation Order will constitute a judicial determination providing that each Plan term and provision, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with this Section 11.7, is valid and enforceable under its terms.

57

11.8        Compromises and Settlements. From and after the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust may compromise and settle disputes about any Claims or about any Liquidation Trust Actions, without any further approval by the Bankruptcy Court. Until the Effective Date, the Debtors expressly reserve the right to compromise and settle (subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court) Claims against them or any Avoidance Actions and Causes of Action belonging to the Estates.

11.9        Binding Effect of Plan. Upon the Effective Date, Bankruptcy Code section 1141 shall become applicable with respect to the Plan and the Plan shall be binding on all Persons to the fullest extent permitted by Bankruptcy Code section 1141(a). Confirmation of the Plan binds each Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, whether or not such Holder’s Claim or Equity Interest is Allowed, whether or not such Holder holds a Claim or Equity Interest that is in a Class that is Impaired under the Plan, and whether or not such Holder has accepted the Plan.

11.10     Non-Discharge of the Debtors; Injunction. In accordance with Bankruptcy Code section 1141(d)(3)(A), the Plan does not discharge the Debtors. Bankruptcy Code section 1141(c) nevertheless provides, among other things, that the property dealt with by the Plan is free and clear of all Claims and Equity Interests against the Debtors. As such, no Person holding a Claim or an Equity Interest may receive any payment from, or seek recourse against, any assets that are to be distributed under the Plan other than assets required to be distributed to that Person under the Plan. As of the Effective Date, all Persons are precluded and barred from asserting against any property to be distributed under the Plan any Claims, rights, Causes of Action, liabilities, Equity Interests, or other action or remedy based on any act, omission, transaction, or other activity that occurred before the Effective Date except as expressly provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order.

11.11     Releases and Related Matters.

(a)        On the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, each of the Releasing Parties shall be deemed to have forever released, waived, and discharged each of the Released Parties from any and all claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action, and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, whether foreseen or unforeseen, whether liquidated or unliquidated, whether fixed or contingent, whether matured or unmatured, existing or hereafter arising, at law, in equity, or otherwise, that are based in whole or in part on any act, omission, transaction, event, or other occurrence taking place on or prior to the Effective Date in any way relating to the Debtors, the conduct of the Debtors’ business, the Chapter 11 Cases, or the Plan, except for acts or omissions that are determined in a Final Order to have constituted actual fraud or willful misconduct; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11.11 shall release or otherwise affect any Person’s rights under the Plan or the Confirmation Order.

58

(b)        Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute (i) the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, of the releases set forth in this Section 11.11; and (ii) the Bankruptcy Court’s findings that such releases are (1) in exchange for good and valuable consideration provided by the Released Parties (including performance of the terms of the Plan), and a good-faith settlement and compromise of the released claims, (2) in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, and any Holders of Claims that are Releasing Parties, (3) fair, equitable, and reasonable, (4) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing, and (5) a bar to any of the Releasing Parties asserting any released claim against any of the Released Parties.

 

(c)        Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary or an abstention from voting on the Plan, no provision of the Plan, or any order confirming the Plan, (i) releases any non-debtor Person from any Cause of Action of the SEC; or (ii) enjoins, limits, impairs, or delays the SEC from commencing or continuing any Causes of Action, proceedings, or investigations against any non-debtor Person in any forum.

11.12     Exculpation and Limitation of Liability. On the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, to the maximum extent permitted by law, none of the Exculpated Parties shall have or incur any liability to any Person, including to any Holder of a Claim or an Equity Interest, for any prepetition or postpetition act or omission in connection with, relating to, or arising out of the Debtors, the Chapter 11 Cases, the formulation, negotiation, preparation, dissemination, solicitation of acceptances, implementation, confirmation, or consummation of the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created, executed, or contemplated in connection with the Plan, or the administration of the Plan or the property to be distributed under the Plan; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11.12 shall release or otherwise affect any Person’s rights under the Plan or the Confirmation Order; and provided, further, that the exculpation provisions of this Section 11.12 shall not apply to acts or omissions constituting actual fraud or willful misconduct by such Exculpated Party as determined by a Final Order. For purposes of the foregoing, it is expressly understood that any act or omission effected with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court conclusively will be deemed not to constitute actual fraud or willful misconduct unless the approval of the Bankruptcy Court was obtained by fraud or misrepresentation, and in all respects, the Exculpated Parties shall be entitled to rely on the written advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities under, or in connection with, the Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan, and administration thereof. The Confirmation Order shall serve as a permanent injunction against any Person seeking to enforce any Causes of Action against the Exculpated Parties that are encompassed by the exculpation provided by this Section 11.12 of the Plan.

11.13     Term of Injunctions or Stays. Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Confirmation Order, all injunctions or stays in the Chapter 11 Cases under Bankruptcy Code sections 105 or 362 or otherwise, and extant as of the Confirmation Hearing (excluding any injunctions or stays contained in or arising from the Plan or the Confirmation Order), shall remain in full force and effect through and inclusive of the Effective Date.

59

11.14     Revocation, Withdrawal, or Non-Consummation. The Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan at any time prior to the Confirmation Hearing and to File subsequent plans. If the Debtors revoke or withdraw the Plan prior to the Confirmation Hearing, or if the Effective Date does not occur, then (a) the Plan shall be null and void in all respects; and (b) nothing contained in the Plan, and no acts taken in preparation for consummation of the Plan, shall (i) constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver or release of any Claims against, or any Equity Interests in, any Debtor, or any Causes of Action by or against any Debtor or any other Person, (ii) prejudice in any manner the rights of any Debtor or any other Person in any further proceedings involving a Debtor, or (iii) constitute an admission of any sort by any Debtor or any other Person.

11.15     Exemption from Transfer Taxes. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1146, the vesting of the Liquidation Trust Assets in the Liquidation Trust, the vesting of the Wind-Down Assets in the Wind-Down Entity, the issuance, transfer, or exchange of notes or equity securities under the Plan, the creation of any mortgage, deed of trust, lien, pledge, or other security interest, or the making or assignment of any lease or sublease, or making or delivery of any deed or other instrument of transfer under, in furtherance of, or in connection with the Plan, shall not be subject to any stamp, real estate transfer, mortgage recording, or other similar tax.

11.16     Computation of Time. In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by the Plan, the provisions of Bankruptcy Rule 9006(a) shall apply.

11.17     Transactions on Business Days. If the Effective Date or any other date on which a transaction may occur under the Plan shall occur on a day that is not a Business Day, any transactions or other actions contemplated by the Plan to occur on such day shall instead occur on the next succeeding Business Day.

11.18     Good Faith. Confirmation of the Plan shall constitute a conclusive determination that: (a) the Plan, and all the transactions and settlements contemplated thereby, have been proposed in good faith and in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules; and (b) the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan has been in good faith and in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and the Bankruptcy Rules, and, in each case, that the Debtors and all Related Parties have acted in good faith in connection therewith.

11.19     Governing Law. Unless a rule of law or procedure is supplied by federal law (including the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules), (a) the laws of the State of Delaware shall govern the construction and implementation of the Plan and (except as may be provided otherwise in any such agreements, documents, or instruments) any agreements, documents, and instruments executed in connection with the Plan and (b) the laws of the state of incorporation or formation of each Debtor shall govern corporate or limited liability company governance matters with respect to such Debtor; in each case without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Any applicable nonbankruptcy law that would prohibit, limit, or otherwise restrict implementation of the Plan based on (i) the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, (ii) the appointment of the Liquidation Trustee or the Wind-Down CEO or the Remaining Debtors Manager, (iii) the wind down of the Debtors, (iv) the liquidation of some or all of the Liquidation Trust Assets or the Wind-Down Assets, or (v) any other act or action to be done pursuant to or contemplated by the Plan is superseded and rendered inoperative by the Plan and federal bankruptcy law.

60

11.20      Notices. Following the Effective Date, all pleadings and notices Filed in the Chapter 11 Cases shall be served solely on (a) the Liquidation Trust and its counsel, (b) the U.S. Trustee, (c) any Person whose rights are affected by the applicable pleading or notice, and (d) any Person Filing a specific request for notices and papers on and after the Effective Date.

11.21     Final Decree. Upon the Liquidation Trustee’s determination that all Claims have been Allowed, disallowed, expunged, or withdrawn and that all Wind-Down Assets and Liquidation Trust Assets have been liquidated, abandoned, or otherwise administered, the Liquidation Trust shall move for the entry of the Final Decree with respect to the Remaining Debtors. On entry of the Final Decree, the Wind-Down CEO, the Wind-Down Board, the Liquidation Trustee, the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board, the Remaining Debtors Manager, and their respective Related Parties, in each case to the extent not previously discharged by the Bankruptcy Court, shall be deemed discharged and have no further duties or obligations to any Person.

11.22     Closing of Certain Chapter 11 Cases. On the Effective Date, the Chapter 11 Cases for all Debtors other than the Remaining Debtors will be deemed closed and no further fees in respect of such closed cases will thereafter accrue or be payable to any Person. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust shall submit a separate order to the Bankruptcy Court under certification of counsel closing the Chapter 11 Cases for all Debtors other than the Remaining Debtors. The Liquidation Trust may at any point File a motion to close the Chapter 11 Case for either of the Remaining Debtors.

11.23     Additional Documents. On or before the Effective Date, the Debtors may File with the Bankruptcy Court such agreements and other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Debtors, the WindDown Entity, and the Liquidation Trust, as applicable, and all Holders receiving Distributions pursuant to the Plan and all other parties in interest may, from time to time, prepare, execute, and deliver any agreements or documents and take any other acts as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions and intent of the Plan.

11.24     Conflicts with the Plan. In the event and to the extent that any provision of the Plan is inconsistent with the provisions of the Disclosure Statement, any other order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases, or any other agreement to be executed by any Person pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control and take precedence; provided, however, that the Confirmation Order shall control and take precedence in the event of any inconsistency between the Confirmation Order, any provision of the Plan, and any of the foregoing documents.

ARTICLE II
ESTABLISHMENT, PURPOSE AND FUNDING OF LIQUIDATION TRUST

2.1         Creation and Name; Formation; Office.

2.1.1.   There is hereby created the Liquidation Trust, which is referred to in Article V and certain other sections of the Plan. The Liquidation Trustee may conduct the affairs of the Liquidation Trust under the name of the “Woodbridge Liquidation Trust”.
 
2.1.2.   It is the intention of the Liquidation Trustee that the Liquidation Trust formed hereby constitutes a statutory trust under the Delaware Act and that this Agreement constitutes the governing instrument of the Liquidation Trust. Promptly following execution of this Agreement, the Liquidation Trustee shall cause an appropriate form of Certificate of Trust of the Liquidation Trust to be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware State Office”) in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware Act.
 
2.1.3.   The principal office of the Liquidation Trust, and such additional offices as the Liquidation Trustee may determine to establish, shall be located at such place or places inside or outside the State of Delaware as the Liquidation Trustee may designate from time to time. Service of process upon the Liquidation Trust may be made by service upon the Delaware Trustee. The principal office of the Delaware Trustee in the State of Delaware is located at the address set forth in Section 12.2 hereof.

2.2         Purpose of Liquidation Trust. The Debtors and the Liquidation Trustee, pursuant to the Plan and the Confirmation Order and in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, hereby establish the Liquidation Trust (i) for the purpose of collecting, administering, distributing and liquidating the Liquidation Trust Assets for the benefit of the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan and (ii) to pay certain Allowed Claims and statutory fees, in each case to the extent required by the Plan. The Debtors shall have no liability with respect to the distribution or payment of any proceeds of the Liquidation Trust Assets to any of the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries or other holders of Allowed Claims. The activities of the Liquidation Trust shall be limited to those activities set forth in this Agreement and as otherwise contemplated by the Plan. The Liquidation Trustee understands and agrees that the Liquidation Trust has no objective to continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business, except to the extent reasonably necessary to, and consistent with, the purpose of the Liquidation Trust as set forth in the Plan.
 
2.3         Transfer of Liquidation Trust Assets.

2.3.1.   Each Debtor hereby grants, releases, assigns, conveys, transfers and delivers, on behalf of the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries, all of the Liquidation Trust Assets owned, held, possessed or controlled by such Debtor to the Liquidation Trustee as of the Effective Date, in trust for the benefit of the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries for the uses and purposes as specified in this Agreement and the Plan. None of the Debtors shall have any further obligations with respect to the Allowed Claims under the Plan or the distribution or payment of any proceeds of the Liquidation Trust Assets to any of the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries or other holders of Allowed Claims upon the transfer of the Liquidation Trust Assets to the Liquidation Trustee in accordance with this Agreement and the Plan. The Remaining Debtors shall from time to time execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all such documents (in recordable form where necessary or appropriate) and the Remaining Debtors shall take or cause to be taken such further action, in each case as the Liquidation Trustee may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate, to vest or perfect in or confirm to the Liquidation Trustee title to and possession of the Liquidation Trust Assets. None of the foregoing transfers to the Liquidation Trust shall constitute a merger or consolidation of any of the respective Causes of Action, Avoidance Actions, or Contributed Claims, each of which shall retain its separateness following the transfer for all purposes relevant to the prosecution thereof.
 

4

2.3.2. For all federal, state, and local income tax purposes, the Debtors, the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries, and the Liquidation Trustee shall treat the transfer of the Liquidation Trust Assets to the Liquidation Trust as a deemed transfer of the Liquidation Trust Assets by the Debtors to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries on account of their Allowed Claims under the Plan, followed by a deemed transfer of the Liquidation Trust Assets by the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries to the Liquidation Trust in exchange for their beneficial interests in the Liquidation Trust. Thus, the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries shall be treated as the grantors and owners of the Liquidation Trust for federal income tax purposes.
 
2.3.3.   To the extent that any Liquidation Trust Assets cannot be transferred to the Liquidation Trust because of a restriction on transferability under applicable non-bankruptcy law that is not superseded or preempted by Section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, such Liquidation Trust Assets shall be deemed to have been retained by the Remaining Debtors and the Liquidation Trustee shall be deemed to have been designated as a representative of the Remaining Debtors pursuant to Section 1123(b)(3)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code to enforce and pursue such Liquidation Trust Assets on their behalf. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all proceeds of such Liquidation Trust Assets (net of all reasonable costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of professionals)) shall be transferred to the Liquidation Trust to be distributed in accordance with this Agreement and the terms of the Plan.
 
2.4         Nature of Trust. The Liquidation Trust is irrevocable but subject to amendment and waiver as provided in this Agreement. The Liquidation Trust is not intended to be, and shall not be deemed to be or treated as, a general partnership, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, joint venture, corporation, limited liability company, joint stock company or association, nor shall the Liquidation Trustee, or the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries, or any of them, for any purpose be, or be deemed to be or treated in any way whatsoever to be, liable or responsible hereunder as partners or joint venturers. The relationship of the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries, on the one hand, to the Liquidation Trust and the Liquidation Trustee, on the other hand, shall not be deemed a principal or agency relationship, and their rights shall be limited to those conferred upon them by this Agreement, the Plan and the Confirmation Order.
 
2.5       Effectiveness. This Agreement, the establishment of the Liquidation Trust and the transfer of Liquidation Trust Assets to the Liquidation Trust pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof shall be effective on the Effective Date immediately prior to the dissolution of the Debtors (other than the Remaining Debtors) under Section 5.2.3 of the Plan.

ARTICLE IV
ADMINISTRATION OF THE LIQUIDATION TRUST

4.1         Rights, Powers and Privileges. In connection with the administration of the Liquidation Trust, except as set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the Liquidation Trustee is authorized to perform any and all acts necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of the Liquidation Trust (including, without limitation, all powers, rights, and duties under applicable law). In connection therewith, and subject to the limitations of Section 4.4 hereof, the Liquidation Trustee shall have absolute discretion to pursue or not to pursue any and all Claims, rights, Contributed Claims, or other Causes of Action, as he or she determines are in the best interests of the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries and consistent with the purposes of the Liquidation Trust, and shall have no liability for the outcome of his or her decision.

The Liquidation Trustee and the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board may, but shall not be required to, consult with and retain attorneys, accountants, real estate brokers, appraisers, valuation counselors, transfer agents, or other parties deemed by the Liquidation Trustee or the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board, as the case may be, to have qualifications necessary to assist in the proper administration of the Liquidation Trust. The Liquidation Trustee may pay the reasonable salaries, fees and expenses of such persons (including himself/herself), including contingency fees, out of the Liquidation Trust Assets, subject to the provisions of Section 8.7 hereof.
 
7

4.3         Investment and Safekeeping of Liquidation Trust Assets. All monies and other Liquidation Trust Assets received by the Liquidation Trustee shall, until distributed or paid as provided in this Agreement or the Plan, be held in the Liquidation Trust or the Wind-Down Entity for the benefit of the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries. The Liquidation Trustee shall be under no obligation to generate or produce, or any liability for, interest or other income on any monies received by the Liquidation Trust and held for distribution or payment to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries, except as such interest shall be actually received by the Liquidation Trustee. Investments of any monies held by the Liquidation Trustee shall be administered in view of the manner in which individuals of ordinary prudence, discretion and judgment would act in the management of their own affairs; provided, however, that the right and power of the Liquidation Trustee to invest monies held by the Liquidation Trustee, the proceeds from any sale of Liquidation Trust Assets, or any income earned by the Liquidation Trust shall be limited to the right and power to invest such monies, pending periodic distributions in accordance with the terms hereof and the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the investment powers of the Liquidation Trustee in this Agreement, other than those reasonably necessary to maintain the value of the Liquidation Trust Assets and the Liquidation purpose of the Liquidation Trust, are limited to powers to invest in demand and time deposits, such as short-term certificates of deposits, in banks or other savings institutions, or other temporary, liquid investments, such as treasury bills, and in all cases limited only to those assets permitted to be made by a “liquidating trust” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(d).
 
4.4        Limitations on Liquidation Trustee. On behalf of the Liquidation Trust or the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries, the Liquidation Trustee shall not at any time: (i) enter into or engage in any trade or business (other than the management and disposition of the Liquidation Trust Assets), and no part of the Liquidation Trust Assets or the proceeds, revenue or income therefrom shall be used or disposed of by the Liquidation Trust in furtherance of any trade or business, (ii) except as provided in Section 4.3 and below, reinvest any Liquidation Trust Assets, or (iii) take any action that would jeopardize treatment of the Liquidation Trust as a “liquidating trust” for federal income tax purposes.

4.4.1. The Liquidation Trustee must consult with, and obtain approval of, the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board or, in the absence of such approval, an order of the Bankruptcy Court concerning any matter involving any sale or other disposition of an asset of the Liquidation Trust, or any release, modification or waiver of existing rights as to an asset of the Liquidation Trust, if the asset at issue exceeds $500,000.00 in value (provided that the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board shall be conclusively presumed to have approved any such sale or disposition if it fails to object thereto in a writing received by the Liquidation Trustee within ten (10) Business Days following written notification to the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board by the Liquidation Trustee of the intended sale or disposition, with such approval to be deemed to have been irrevocably given in respect of the terms and conditions of such sale or disposition set forth in such notification).
 
4.4.2. The Liquidation Trustee must consult with, and obtain approval of, the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board or, in the absence of such approval, an order of the Bankruptcy Court concerning any compromise or settlement of litigation or controverted matter proposed by the Liquidation Trustee involving claims in excess of $500,000.00 (provided that the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board shall be conclusively presumed to have approved any such compromise or settlement if it fails to object thereto in a writing received by the Liquidation Trustee within ten (10) Business Days following written notification to the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board by the Liquidation Trustee of the intended compromise or settlement, with approval thereof to be deemed to have been irrevocably given in respect of the terms and conditions of such compromise or settlement set forth in such notification).


8

4.4.3. The Liquidation Trustee must consult with, and obtain approval of, the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board or, in the absence of such approval, an order of the Bankruptcy Court concerning the retention by the Liquidation Trustee of professionals (provided that the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board shall be conclusively presumed to have approved any such retention if it fails to object thereto in a writing received by the Liquidation Trustee within ten (10) Business Days following written notification to the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board by the Liquidation Trustee of the intended retention).
 
4.4.4.   Other than as contemplated by the Plan or this Agreement, the Liquidation Trustee is not empowered to incur indebtedness.
 
4.4.5.   The Liquidation Trustee may invest Cash of the Liquidation Trust, including any earnings thereon or proceeds therefrom, any Cash realized from the liquidation of the Liquidation Trust Assets, or any Cash that is remitted to the Liquidation Trust from the Wind-Down Entity or any other Person, which investments, for the avoidance of doubt, will not be required to comply with Bankruptcy Code section 345(b); provided,  however, that such investments must be investments that are permitted to be made by a “liquidating trust” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(d), as reflected therein, or under applicable guidelines, rulings, or other controlling authorities. The Liquidation Trustee shall have no liability in the event of the insolvency or failure of any institution in which he or she has invested any funds of the Liquidation Trust.
 
4.4.6.   The Liquidation Trustee shall hold, collect, conserve, protect and administer the Liquidation Trust Assets in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, and pay and distribute amounts as set forth herein for the purposes set forth in this Agreement. Subject to the standard of care set forth in Section 7.2, any determination by the Liquidation Trustee as to what actions are in the best interests of the Liquidation Trust shall be determinative.
 
4.4.7.   The Liquidation Trustee shall disclose to the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board any connections, conflicts or potential conflicts of interest that the Liquidation Trustee or the Liquidation Trustee’s firm has with respect to the exercise of any rights, powers, duties and privileges under this Agreement or the Plan. In the event that the Liquidation Trustee cannot take any action, including the prosecution of any claims or the objection to any claims, by reason of an actual or potential conflict of interest, the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board shall be authorized to take any such action(s) in place of the Liquidation Trustee, including by the retention of professionals (which may include professionals retained by the Liquidation Trustee) for the purpose of taking such actions.


9

4.5         Bankruptcy Court Approval of Liquidation Trustee Actions. Except as provided in the Plan or otherwise specified in this Agreement, the Liquidation Trustee need not obtain the order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court in the exercise of any power, rights, or discretion conferred hereunder, or account to the Bankruptcy Court. The Liquidation Trustee shall exercise his or her business judgment for the benefit of the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries in order to maximize the value of the Liquidation Trust Assets and distributions, giving due regard to the cost, risk, and delay of any course of action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Liquidation Trustee shall have the right to submit to the Bankruptcy Court any question or questions regarding which the Liquidation Trustee may desire to have explicit approval of the Bankruptcy Court for the taking of any specific action proposed to be taken by the Liquidation Trust with respect to any of the Liquidation Trust Assets, this Agreement, or the Plan, including the administration, distribution, or proposed sale of any of the Liquidation Trust Assets. The Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction and power for such purposes and shall approve or disapprove any such proposed action upon motion by the Liquidation Trust.
 
4.6         Reliance by Liquidation Trustee and the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board:

(a)
The Liquidation Trustee and members of the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board may, subject to the standard of care set forth in Section 7.2, rely, and shall be protected in acting upon, any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, or other paper or document believed by them to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b)
The Liquidation Trustee and members of the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board may consult with any and all professionals to be selected by them and the Liquidation Trustee and members of the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board shall not, subject to the standard of care set forth in Section 7.2, be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by them in accordance with the advice of such professionals; and

(c)
Persons dealing with the Liquidation Trustee shall look only to the Liquidation Trust Assets to satisfy any liability incurred by the Liquidation Trustee to such Person in carrying out the terms of this Liquidation Trust Agreement, and neither the Liquidation Trustee nor any member of the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board shall have any personal obligation to satisfy any such liability.

4.7          Valuation of Liquidation Trust Assets. The Liquidation Trustee shall apprise the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries of the value of the Liquidation Trust Assets. The Debtors, the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries, and the Liquidation Trust will consistently report the valuation of the assets transferred to the Liquidation Trust. Such consistent valuations and revised reporting will be used for all federal, state, local, or other income tax purposes. Income, deductions, gain, or loss from the Liquidation Trust shall be reported to the beneficiaries of the Liquidation Trust in conjunction with the filing of the Liquidation Trust’s income tax returns.  Each Liquidation Trust Beneficiary shall report income, deductions, gain, or loss on such Liquidation Trust Beneficiary’s income tax returns.

DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE LIQUIDATION TRUST

5.1         Distributions. After the Effective Date and subject to Section 5.7, as and to the extent required by the Plan, the Liquidation Trustee shall (a) make distributions to Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries in respect of their Liquidation Trust Interests from Available Cash in accordance with the Liquidation Trust Interests Waterfall and (b) pay certain Allowed Claims to the extent required by the Plan.
 
5.2         Provisions Governing Distributions.  All distributions to be made under this Agreement shall be made in accordance with Section 1.84, Section 5.4.10 and Article VII of the Plan, which are incorporated by reference herein.
 
5.3         Timing of Distributions. Any payment or other distribution required to be made under the Plan on a day other than a Business Day shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day. All payments or distributions due on the Effective Date shall be made thereon or as soon as practicable thereafter. Any payment of Cash made pursuant to this Plan shall be deemed made when such payment by check or wire transfer is transmitted. This Section 5.3 shall be subject to Article VII of the Plan.
 
5.4         Payments Limited to Liquidation Trust Assets. All payments to be made by the Liquidation Trustee to or for the benefit of any Liquidation Trust Beneficiary shall be made only to the extent that the Liquidation Trustee has sufficient reserves to make such payments in accordance with this Agreement and the Plan. Each Liquidation Trust Beneficiary shall have recourse only to the Liquidation Trust Assets for distribution under this Agreement and the Plan. This Section 5.4 shall be subject to Article VII of the Plan.
 
5.5         Fees and Expenses.

5.5.1.   Subject to the limitations set forth herein and in the Plan, the Liquidation Trustee must pay or establish a reasonable reserve for the operating and administrative expenses of the Liquidation Trust (including making any payments in respect of Allowed Claims that may be required under the Plan) before approving distributions to or for the benefit of Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries.

11

5.7        Compliance with Laws. Any and all distributions of Liquidation Trust Assets shall be in compliance with applicable laws.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Liquidation Trustee shall make distributions from the Liquidation Trust at least annually to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries from all net cash income and all other cash received by the Liquidation Trust; provided, however, that the Liquidation Trustee may, to the extent consistent with Revenue Procedure 82-58, 1982-2 C.B. 847, as amplified by Revenue Procedure 91-15, 1991-1 C.B. 484, retain such amounts (a) as are reasonably necessary to meet contingent liabilities and to maintain the value of the Liquidation Trust Assets during the term of the Liquidation Trust, (b) to pay reasonable administrative expenses including, without limitation, the compensation and the reimbursement of reasonable, actual and necessary costs, fees (including attorneys’ fees) and expenses of the Liquidation Trustee and the Delaware Trustee in connection with the performance of their duties in connection with this Agreement and any amounts owed to the Liquidation Trustee and the Delaware Trustee pursuant to Sections 7.3 and 11.3 hereof, and (c) to satisfy all other liabilities incurred or assumed by the Liquidation Trust (or to which the Liquidation Trust Assets are otherwise subject) in accordance with the Plan and this Agreement.
 
5.8         Setoff Rights. The Liquidation Trustee may, but shall not be required to, setoff against or recoup from the holder of any Allowed Claim (including any Liquidation Trust Beneficiary) on which payments or other distributions are to be made hereunder, claims of any nature that the Liquidation Trust may have against such Person. However, neither the failure to do so, nor the allowance of any Claim under the Plan or otherwise, shall constitute a waiver or release of any such claim, right of setoff or right of recoupment against the holder of such Allowed Claim.
 
5.9         Right to Object to Claims. Subject to the following sentence and except for those Claims that are expressly the responsibility of the Wind-Down Entity under the Plan, the Liquidation Trustee shall have the responsibility and authority for administering, disputing, objecting to, compromising and settling or otherwise resolving and finalizing payments or other distributions with respect to Claims under the Plan (including in respect of any Liquidation Trust Interests). The Liquidation Trustee shall generally prosecute objections to Claims pending as of the Effective Date and any additional objections filed from and after the Effective Date. In addition, subject to the foregoing sentence, the Liquidation Trustee may, at any time, request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Contingent Claim, Disputed Claim or Unliquidated Claim pursuant to Section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code regardless of whether any party previously objected to or sought estimation of such Claim.
 
5.10       No Distributions Pending Allowance. If a Claim or any portion of a Claim is Disputed, no payment or distribution shall be made on account of the disputed portion of such Claim (or the entire Claim, if the entire Claim is disputed), unless such Disputed Claim or portion thereof becomes an Allowed Claim.

ARTICLE VI
BENEFICIARIES

6.1        Identification of Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries. In order to determine the actual names and addresses of the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries, the Liquidation Trustee may deliver a notice to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries. Such notice may include a form for each Liquidation Trust Beneficiary to complete in order to be properly registered as a Liquidation Trust Beneficiary and be eligible for distributions under the Liquidation Trust. Such form may request the Liquidation Trust Beneficiary’s federal taxpayer identification number or social security number if the Liquidation Trustee determines that such information is necessary to fulfill his or her tax reporting and withholding obligations. The Liquidation Trustee, in his or her reasonable discretion, may suspend distributions to any Liquidation Trust Beneficiary that has not provided its federal taxpayer identification number or social security number, as the case may be, after a request is made pursuant to this Section 6.1. If tax information is not provided within one hundred eighty (180) days after such request, the applicable Liquidation Trust Beneficiary’s underlying claim will be expunged and its Liquidation Trust Interest disallowed for all purposes of this Agreement to the extent provided under the Plan. Each Liquidation Trust Beneficiary’s Liquidation Trust Interest is dependent upon such Liquidation Trust Beneficiary’s classification under the Plan and the status of its Allowed Claim.
 

12

6.2         Beneficial Interest Only. The ownership of a Liquidation Trust Interest shall not entitle any Liquidation Trust Beneficiary to any title in or to any of the Liquidation Trust Assets or to any right to call for a partition or division of such Liquidation Trust Assets or to require an accounting, except as specifically provided herein. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, a Liquidation Trust Beneficiary shall not have standing to direct or to seek to direct the Liquidation Trust or Liquidation Trustee to do or not to do any act or to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity against any Person upon or with respect to the Liquidation Trust Assets.
 
6.3        Ownership of Beneficial Interests Hereunder. Each Liquidation Trust Beneficiary shall own a beneficial interest in the Liquidation Trust (as represented by the Liquidation Trust Interest(s) issued to such Liquidation Trust Beneficiary) in accordance with the Plan. The record holders of the Liquidation Trust Interests shall be recorded and set forth in a registry maintained by, or at the direction of, the Liquidation Trustee expressly for such purpose. Such obligation may be satisfied by the Liquidation Trust’s retention of a Transfer Agent for the maintenance of such registry and, so long as a registry of the Liquidation Trust Interests is maintained by a Transfer Agent, such Liquidation Trust Interests need not be registered on the books and records of the Liquidation Trust.
 
6.4         Evidence of Beneficial Interest.

6.4.1.   Unless otherwise determined by the Liquidation Trustee, ownership of a Liquidation Trust Interest shall not be evidenced by any certificate, security, or receipt or in any other form or manner whatsoever. Except as set forth in Section 6.4.2 hereof, ownership of the Liquidation Trust Interests shall be maintained on books and records of the Liquidation Trust maintained by the Liquidation Trustee or on behalf of the Liquidation Trust on the books and records of a Transfer Agent.
 
6.4.2.   Upon or in connection with the effectiveness of an Exchange Act Registration of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests, the Liquidation Trustee may, in its discretion, determine that the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests shall be evidenced by book-entry form represented by one or more global certificates registered in the name of DTC, as depository, or Cede & Co., its nominee, for so long as DTC is willing to act in that capacity. The Liquidation Trustee shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to give prompt notice of any such determination to the holders of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests. Any such notice may be provided or made available, in the discretion of the Liquidation Trustee, by any reasonable means, including U.S. mail, electronic transmission, display on IntraLinks or a similar virtual data room to which holders shall have access, or publication to a publicly-available website or by press release distributed via a generally recognized business news service. If the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests are registered in book-entry form, the Liquidation Trustee shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to facilitate the transfer of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests through the DTC participant system (as necessary). If the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests are registered in book-entry form, the Liquidation Trustee shall be under no obligation to provide the holders of Class A Liquidation Trust Interests with actual physical certificates representing their Class A Liquidation Trust Interests, and the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests need no longer be registered on the books and records of the Liquidation Trust or with any Transfer Agent.

6.5         Transfer of Liquidation Trust Interests.

6.5.1.      Restriction on Transfer of Class A Liquidation Trust Interests.
 
(a)      Subject to Section 6.5.1(b) hereof, the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests shall not be Transferred, except by operation of law or by will or the laws of descent and distribution, in each case following written notice to the Liquidation Trustee in accordance with Section 6.5.4 hereof.
 
(b)      The restriction on transfer set forth in Section 6.5.1(a) hereof (the “Class A Transfer Restriction”) shall be in effect with respect to all Class A Liquidation Trust Interests from the time of issuance thereof on the Effective Date until the effectiveness of an Exchange Act Registration of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests, at which time (i) the Class A Transfer Restriction shall terminate and cease to be of any force or effect and (ii) the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests may be Transferred by the holders thereof to the extent otherwise permissible under applicable law. The Liquidation Trust shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause an Exchange Act Registration of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests to become effective, and for the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests to be quoted with an OTC ticker symbol, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, but in no event shall the Liquidation Trust file an Exchange Act registration statement any later than may be required under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

6.5.2.    Restriction on Transfer of Class B Liquidation Trust Interests.

(a)      Subject to Section 6.5.2(b) hereof, the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests shall not be Transferred except by operation of law or by will or the laws of descent and distribution, in each case following written notice to the Liquidation Trustee in accordance with Section 6.5.4 hereof.
 
(b)      The restriction on transfer set forth in Section 6.5.2(a) hereof (the “Class B Transfer Restriction”) shall be in effect with respect to all Class B Liquidation Trust Interests from the time of issuance thereof on the Effective Date until the earlier to occur of (a) the effectiveness of an Exchange Act Registration of the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests or (b) the Liquidation Trustee has given notice to the holders of the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests of the Liquidation Trustee’s good faith determination, in its discretion, that termination of the Class B Transfer Restriction does not require the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests to be registered under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.  Upon the occurrence of an event described in (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence, (i) the Class B Transfer Restriction shall terminate and cease to be of any force or effect and (ii) the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests may be Transferred by the holders thereof to the extent otherwise permissible under applicable law. The Liquidation Trust shall not be under any obligation (and does not currently intend) to make any effort to cause the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests to be registered under the Exchange Act or otherwise to facilitate the trading of, or the development of any trading market for, the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests.
 
14

6.5.3.   Notice of Termination of Transfer Restrictions.  Upon any termination of a Transfer Restriction (whether such termination is by reason of the effectiveness of an Exchange Act Registration or a determination by the Liquidation Trustee that termination of a Transfer Restriction would not require registration under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act), the Liquidation Trustee shall use commercially reasonable best efforts promptly thereafter to notify the holders of the Liquidation Trust Interests with respect to which such Transfer Restriction termination has occurred. Any such notice may be provided or made available, in the discretion of the Liquidation Trustee, by any reasonable means, including U.S. mail, electronic transmission, display on IntraLinks or a similar virtual data room to which holders shall have access, or publication to a publicly-available website or by press release distributed via a generally recognized business news service.
 
6.5.4.   Notice of Certain Transfers. In the case of any Transfer, notice of which is required to be given under Section 6.5.1 or Section 6.5.2 hereof, such notice (a “Transfer Notice”) shall be given to the Liquidation Trustee by registered or certified mail in accordance with this Section 6.5.4 and Section 12.2 hereof, and shall be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court. A Transfer Notice shall (a) state the names, addresses and, if the Liquidation Trustee determines that such information is necessary to fulfill his or her tax reporting and withholding obligations, the federal taxpayer identification numbers or social security numbers of the Transferor and Transferee, (b) clearly identify the class and the amount of the Liquidation Trust Interest to be Transferred, and (c) be executed by both the Transferor (or the Transferor’s personal representative) and the Transferee, with such signatures acknowledged before a notary public and as required by Bankruptcy Rule 3001(e). The Liquidation Trustee may conclusively rely upon such signatures and acknowledgments as evidence of such Transfer without the requirement of any further investigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.5, no Transfer notice of which is required to be given under Section 6.5.1 or Section 6.5.2 hereof shall be effective until a Transfer Notice is given in accordance with this Section 6.5.4, and the Liquidation Trustee may continue to pay all amounts to or for the benefit of the assigning or transferring Liquidation Trust Beneficiary until receipt of such Transfer Notice. The Liquidation Trustee may rely upon such proof without the requirement of any further investigation.
 
6.5.5.   Invalidity of Restricted Transfers. Any attempted Transfer in violation of any Transfer Restriction shall be void ab initio. The Liquidation Trustee shall not be authorized or obligated to effect any Transfer or treat any purported Transferee as holder of record or beneficial owner of any Liquidation Trust Interest, the Transfer of which is void ab initio under this paragraph. The Liquidation Trustee may institute legal proceedings to force rescission of a Transfer prohibited by this Agreement and to seek any other remedy available to it at law, in equity or otherwise, including an injunction prohibiting any such Transfer.

THIRD PARTY RIGHTS AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

7.1        Parties Dealing With the Liquidation Trustee. In the absence of actual knowledge to the contrary, any Person dealing with the Liquidation Trust or the Liquidation Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the authority of the Liquidation Trustee or any of the Liquidation Trustee’s agents to act in connection with the Liquidation Trust Assets. No Person that may deal with the Liquidation Trustee shall have any obligation to inquire into the validity or expediency or propriety of any transaction by the Liquidation Trustee or any agent of the Liquidation Trustee.
 
7.2         Limitation of Liquidation Trustee’s Liability. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in exercising the rights granted herein, the Liquidation Trustee shall exercise his or her best judgment, to the end that the affairs of the Liquidation Trust shall be properly managed and the interests of all the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries are safeguarded; but the Liquidation Trustee shall not incur any responsibility or liability by reason of any error of law or of any matter or thing done or suffered or omitted to be done under this Agreement, unless the Liquidation Trustee has acted with gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct.
 
7.3         Indemnification. The Liquidation Trustee, the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board and each of their respective accountants, agents, assigns, attorneys, bankers, consultants, directors, employees, executors, financial advisors, investment bankers, real estate brokers, Transfer Agents, managers, members, officers, partners, predecessors, principals, professional persons, representatives, and successors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall be indemnified for, and defended and held harmless against, any loss, liability, damage, judgment, fine, penalty, claim, demand, settlement, cost, or expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of their respective professionals) incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud on the part of the applicable Indemnified Party (which gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud, if any, must be determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction) for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by the Indemnified Parties in connection with the acceptance, administration, exercise, and performance of their duties under the Plan or this Agreement, as applicable. An act or omission taken with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and not inconsistent therewith, will be conclusively deemed not to constitute gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Indemnified Party shall be indemnified for, and defended and held harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, claims, demands, settlements, costs, and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of their respective professionals arising out of or due to their actions or omissions, or consequences of such actions or omissions, with respect to the Liquidation Trust or the implementation or administration of the Plan if the applicable Indemnified Party acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Liquidation Trust or the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries.  The amounts necessary for the indemnification provided in this Section 7.3 (including, but not limited to, any costs and expenses incurred in enforcing the right of indemnification in this Section 7.3) shall be paid by the Liquidation Trustee out of the Liquidation Trust Assets, except as otherwise provided in the Plan. The Liquidation Trustee shall not be personally liable for the payment of any Liquidation Trust expense or claim or other liability of the Liquidation Trust, and no Person shall look to the Liquidation Trustee personally for the payment of any such expense or liability. The indemnification provided in this Section 7.3 shall survive the death, dissolution, resignation or removal, as may be applicable, of the Liquidation Trustee or an indemnified member of the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board, or the termination of the Liquidation Trust, and shall inure to the benefit of each Indemnified Person’s heirs and assigns.

Any Person serving as Liquidation Trustee may be removed and replaced by an order of the Bankruptcy Court upon the motion of the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board and a showing of good cause; provided, however, that the proposed removal and replacement of Michael Goldberg as Liquidation Trustee will require a determination by the Bankruptcy Court that “cause” exists for such removal and replacement using the standard under Bankruptcy Code section 1104 made after notice of such proposed removal and replacement has been provided to the SEC. The removal shall be effective on the date specified in the order.

The resignation shall be effective on the later to occur of: (i) the date specified in the notice; or (ii) the appointment of a successor by the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board, the acceptance by such successor of such appointment and the approval of the Bankruptcy Court; provided, that if a successor Liquidation Trustee is not appointed or does not accept his or her appointment or if the appointment of a successor Trustee has not been approved by the Bankruptcy Court within sixty (60) days following delivery of notice of resignation, the resigning Liquidation Trustee may petition the Bankruptcy Court for the appointment of a successor Liquidation Trustee. Notwithstanding the resignation of the Liquidation Trustee pursuant to this Section 8.3, the rights of the resigning Liquidation Trustee under this Agreement with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the effectiveness of such resignation will continue for the benefit of such resigning Liquidation Trustee following the effectiveness of such resignation.

8.7          Compensation and Costs of Administration. The Liquidation Trustee shall receive fair and reasonable compensation for his or her services in accordance with Schedule A, which shall be charged against and paid out of the Liquidation Trust Assets (subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement and the Plan), provided, that no compensation may be paid to the Liquidation Trustee or his or her professionals unless and until the following procedures have been followed with respect to any individual request for compensation: (i) the Liquidation Trustee shall submit to the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board a statement or statements (“Statements”) reflecting all fees (itemized, as applicable, to indicate the individual performing services, such individual’s billable rate, a description of the services performed, the time spent, and the fees incurred) and itemized costs to be reimbursed, (ii) the amount reflected in any such Statements may be paid by the Liquidation Trust after seven (7) days after the delivery of the Statements as specified in clause (i) above, unless prior to the expiration of such seven-day period, the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board shall have objected in writing to any compensation reflected in the Statement, in which case the undisputed amounts may be paid and the disputed amounts may only be paid by agreement of the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board, or pursuant to order of the Bankruptcy Court, which shall retain jurisdiction over all disputes regarding the Liquidation Trustee’s and his or her professionals’ compensation.  All costs, expenses, and obligations, including filing fees, incurred by the Liquidation Trustee (or professionals who may be employed by the Liquidation Trustee in administering the Liquidation Trust, in carrying out their other responsibilities under this Agreement, or in any manner connected, incidental, or related thereto) shall be paid from the applicable Liquidation Trust Assets prior to any distribution to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries (subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement and the Plan). If the cash in the Liquidation Trust shall be insufficient to compensate and reimburse the Liquidation Trustee or the members of the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board, as the case may be, for any amounts to which they are entitled hereunder, then the Liquidation Trustee is hereby authorized to reduce to cash that portion of the Liquidation Trust Assets that are causes of action necessary so as to effect such compensation and reimbursement, subject to the terms of the Plan.

The Liquidation Trust may provide or make available to holders of Liquidation Trust Interests similar reports for such interim periods during the calendar year as the Liquidation Trustee deems advisable. So long as no Exchange Act Registration for the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests shall have become effective, such reports may be provided or made available to the holders of Liquidation Trust Interests, in the discretion of the Liquidation Trustee, by any reasonable means, including U.S. mail, electronic transmission, display on IntraLinks or a similar virtual data room to which holders shall have access, or publication to a publicly-available website or by press release distributed via a generally recognized business news service.

Such books and records may be destroyed without further notice to parties or approval of the Bankruptcy Court five (5) years after the final report to the Bankruptcy Court has been rendered by the Liquidation Trustee (unless such records and documents are necessary to fulfill the Liquidation Trustee’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the term of the Liquidation Trust, the Liquidation Trustee may destroy business records transferred by Debtors to the Liquidation Trust thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice to the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board of the Liquidation Trustee’s intent to destroy such records, unless prior to the expiration of such 30-day period, the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board shall have objected in writing to the destruction of such records. The Liquidation Trustee may estimate and include, as part of the Liquidation Trustee’s compensation, a reasonable sum to be used for the purposes of maintaining, accessing and destroying records during the term of the Liquidation Trust and for up to five (5) years thereafter.

DURATION OF LIQUIDATION TRUST

10.1       Duration. This Agreement, the establishment of the Liquidation Trust, and the transfer of Liquidation Trust Assets to the Liquidation Trust pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof shall be effective on the Effective Date immediately prior to the dissolution of the Debtors (other than the Remaining Debtors) under Section 5.2.3 of the Plan. Thereupon, this Agreement shall remain and continue in full force and effect until the Liquidation Trust is terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan.
 
10.2      Termination of the Liquidation Trust. The Liquidation Trustee and the Liquidation Trust shall be discharged or terminated, as the case may be, at such time as: (a) the Liquidation Trustee determines that the pursuit of additional Liquidation Trust Actions is not likely to yield sufficient additional proceeds to justify further pursuit of such Liquidation Trust Actions and (b) all distributions required to be made by the Liquidation Trustee to the holders of Allowed Claims and to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries under the Plan and this Agreement have been made, but in no event shall the Liquidation Trust be terminated later than five (5) years from the Effective Date unless the Bankruptcy Court, upon motion made within the six-month period before such fifth anniversary (and, in the event of further extension, by order of the Bankruptcy Court, upon motion made at least six (6) months before the end of the preceding extension), determines that a fixed period extension (not to exceed three (3) years, together with any prior extensions, unless a favorable letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that any further extension would not adversely affect the status of the Liquidation Trust as a liquidating trust for federal income tax purposes) is necessary to facilitate or complete the recovery on, and liquidation of, the Liquidation Trust Assets. The Liquidation Trust may not be terminated at any time by the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries. Upon termination of the Liquidation Trust, any remaining Liquidation Trust Assets that exceed the amounts required to be paid under the Plan may be transferred by the Liquidation Trustee to the American Bankruptcy Institute Endowment Fund. The Liquidation Trustee shall promptly provide the Delaware Trustee notice of any such extension granted pursuant to this Section 10.2.

ARTICLE XI
DELAWARE TRUSTEE

11.1        Delaware Trustee.

11.1.1. The Delaware Trustee shall constitute one of the trustees of the Liquidation Trust for the sole and limited purpose of satisfying the requirements of Section 3807(a) of the Delaware Act, shall have only the duties (including fiduciary duties), rights, obligations and liabilities specifically provided for in this Agreement and the Delaware Act, and shall have no implied duties (including fiduciary duties), rights, obligations or liabilities with respect to the business and affairs of the Liquidation Trust. The Delaware Trustee shall not participate in any decisions relating to, or possess any authority independently to manage or control, the business and affairs of the Liquidation Trust. The Delaware Trustee may, and hereby is authorized to, take such action or refrain from taking such action under this Agreement as it may be directed in writing by the Liquidation Trustee from time to time (upon which the Delaware Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively and exclusively rely); provided, however, that the Delaware Trustee shall not be required to take or refrain from taking any such action if it shall have determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such performance is reasonably likely to subject the Delaware Trustee to personal liability or is contrary to the terms of this Agreement or of any document contemplated hereby to which the Liquidation Trust or the Delaware Trustee is a party or is otherwise contrary to law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, the duties, liabilities and obligations of the Delaware Trustee shall be limited to (i) accepting legal process served on the Liquidation Trust in the State of Delaware and (ii) the execution of any certificates required to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware that the Delaware Trustee is required to execute under Section 3811 of the Delaware Act at the written direction of the Liquidation Trustee and there shall be no other duties (including fiduciary duties) or obligations, express or implied, at law or in equity, of the Delaware Trustee. To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Delaware Trustee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Liquidation Trust, the other parties hereto or any beneficiary of the Liquidation Trust, it is hereby understood and agreed by the other parties hereto that such duties and liabilities are replaced by the duties and liabilities of the Delaware Trustee expressly set forth in this Section 11.1.1.
21


11.1.2. So long as required by the Delaware Act, there shall be one (1) Delaware Trustee who or which shall be (i) a natural person who is a resident of the State of Delaware or (ii) if not a natural person, an entity that has its principal place of business in the State of Delaware, otherwise meets the requirements of applicable law, and shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind such entity.
 
11.1.3. The Delaware Trustee may resign at any time and, if at any time the Delaware Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.1, it shall resign immediately, by giving written notice thereof to the Liquidation Trustee.  If the Delaware Trustee shall resign, the Liquidation Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor Delaware Trustee, and such successor Delaware Trustee and the resigning Delaware Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument to effect such resignation and appointment, and thereupon the resignation of the resigning Delaware Trustee shall become effective and the successor Delaware Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and obligations of the resigning Delaware Trustee. If no successor Delaware Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within forty-five (45) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Delaware Trustee may, at the expense of the Liquidation Trust, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Delaware Trustee. Upon the appointment of a successor Delaware Trustee, such successor Delaware Trustee shall file a certificate of amendment to the certificate of trust of the Liquidation Trust in accordance with Section 3810 of the Delaware Act.

11.2        Limitation of Delaware Trustee Liability.

 11.2.1. The Delaware Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of the Liquidation Trust, the Liquidation Trustee or any other person or entity, nor shall the Delaware Trustee be liable for supervising or monitoring the performance of the duties of the Liquidation Trustee or the Liquidation Trust or of any other person or entity under this Agreement or any related document. The Delaware Trustee shall not be personally liable under any circumstances, except for its own willful misconduct.  In particular, but not by way of limitation:
 
22

 
(a)      The Delaware Trustee shall not be personally liable for any error or judgment made by a responsible officer or other authorized officer of the Delaware Trustee in good faith;
 
(b)      No provision of this Agreement shall require the Delaware Trustee to expend or risk its personal funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its rights or powers hereunder;
 
(c)      Under no circumstance shall the Delaware Trustee, in its individual capacity or in its capacity as Delaware Trustee, or any member, partner, shareholder, director, officer, employee, agent, affiliate or advisor of the Delaware Trustee or their respective affiliates be personally liable for any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, liability or indebtedness of the Liquidation Trust, as all such representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, liabilities or indebtedness of the Liquidation Trust are those of the Liquidation Trust as an entity;
 
(d)      The recitals contained herein shall not be taken as the statements of the Delaware Trustee, and the Delaware Trustee does not assume any responsibility for their correctness. The Delaware Trustee shall not be personally responsible for or in respect of, and the Delaware Trustee makes no representations as to, the title to, or value or condition of, the property of the Liquidation Trust or any part thereof, including the Corporation Assets and the other Liquidation Trust Assets, nor as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or any related certificate, instrument or other document;
 
(e)     The Delaware Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected, and shall incur no liability to anyone, in acting or refraining from acting in good faith and in reliance upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, instruction, direction, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Delaware Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of any governing body of any person as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such person and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the manner of ascertainment of which is not specifically prescribed herein or whenever the Delaware Trustee shall deem it desirable that a fact or matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder (including direction by the Liquidation Trustee with respect to such action), the Delaware Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by any officer of the party delivering the certificate or, in the case of the Liquidation Trustee, signed by the Liquidation Trustee, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Delaware Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon;
 
(f)       In the exercise or administration of its duties hereunder, the Delaware Trustee (i) may act directly or through agents or attorneys pursuant to agreements entered into with any of them, and the Delaware Trustee shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of such agents or attorneys if such agents or attorneys shall have been selected by the Delaware Trustee in good faith and (ii) may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected in good faith and employed by it, and it shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons; and

23


(g)      In accepting and performing its duties hereunder the Delaware Trustee acts solely as trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity, and all persons having any claim against the Delaware Trustee or the Liquidation Trust by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall look only to the Liquidation Trust Assets for payment or satisfaction thereof.

11.3       Compensation and Expenses of Delaware Trustee. The Delaware Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and the Liquidation Trust shall pay the Delaware Trustee, reasonable compensation as determined by the Liquidation Trustee. The Delaware Trustee and any director, officer, affiliate, employee, employer, professional, agent or representative of the Delaware Trustee shall be advanced expenses, defended, held harmless and indemnified from time to time by the Liquidation Trust against any and all losses, claims, costs, expenses and liabilities to which such indemnified parties may be subject arising hereunder or in connection herewith; provided, however, that the indemnification obligations arising pursuant to this Section 11.3 shall indemnify neither the Delaware Trustee nor any director, officer, affiliate, employee, employer, professional, agent or representative of the Delaware Trustee for any actions taken by such indemnified parties which constitute bad faith or willful misconduct. Satisfaction of any obligation of the Liquidation Trust arising pursuant to the terms of this Section 11.3 shall be payable only from the Liquidation Trust Assets and pursuant to Article V of this Agreement. Such right to payment shall be prior and superior to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries’ rights to receive distributions from the Liquidation Trust of the Liquidation Trust Assets. The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the earlier removal or resignation of the Delaware Trustee.

ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS

12.1       Preservation of Privilege. In connection with the rights, claims, and causes of action that constitute Liquidation Trust Assets, any attorney-client privilege, work-product doctrine, or other privilege or immunity attaching to any documents or communications (whether written or oral) transferred to the Liquidation Trust pursuant to the terms of the Plan or otherwise shall vest in the Liquidation Trustee and his or her representatives, and the Liquidation Trustee is authorized to take all necessary actions to effectuate the transfer of such privileges, as necessary. The Liquidation Trustee’s receipt of such privileges shall not operate as a waiver of any other privileges or immunities possessed or retained by the Debtors.
 
12.2        Notices. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices to be given to Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries may be given by ordinary mail, or may be delivered personally, to the holders at the addresses appearing on the books kept by the Liquidation Trustee.

Notwithstanding any state law to the contrary, neither the Liquidation Trustee (including any successor) nor the Delaware Trustee (including any successor) shall be exempt from giving any bond or other security in any jurisdiction, unless the Liquidation Trustee or the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board decide in their reasonable judgment to obtain such bond or other security. Subject to Section 8.7, the Liquidation Trustee is hereby authorized, but not required to obtain all reasonable insurance coverage for itself, its agents, representatives, employees or independent contractors, including coverage with respect to the liabilities, duties and obligations of the Liquidation Trustee and its agents, representatives, employees or independent contractors under this Agreement and the Plan.

12.4       Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (excluding conflict of laws rules), including all matters of validity, construction and administration; provided, however, that there shall not be applicable to the Liquidation Trust, the Liquidation Trustee or this Agreement, any provisions of the laws (statutory or common) of the State of Delaware, other than the Delaware Act, pertaining to trusts that relate to or regulate, in a manner inconsistent with the terms hereof, (i) the filing with any court or governmental body or agency of trustee accounts or schedule of trustee fees and charges, (ii) affirmative requirements to post bonds for trustees, officers, agents or employees of a trust, (iii) the necessity for obtaining court or other governmental approval concerning the acquisition, holding or disposition of real or personal property, (iv) fees or other sums payable to trustees, officers, agents or employees of a trust, (v) the allocation of receipts and expenditures to income and principal, (vi) restrictions or limitations on the permissible nature, amount or concentration of trust investments or requirements relating to the titling, storage or other manner of holding or investing trust assets, or (vii) the establishment of fiduciary or other standards or responsibilities or limitations on the acts or powers of trustees.

12.9       Intention of Parties to Establish Grantor Liquidation Trust.

Consistent with Revenue Procedure 82-58, 1982-2 C.B. 847, as amplified by Revenue Procedure 91-15, 1991-1 C.B. 484, the Liquidation Trust shall be treated as a liquidating trust pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-4(d) and as a grantor trust pursuant to Sections 671-677 of the Internal Code of 1986 as amended. As such, for federal income tax purposes, the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries will be treated as both the grantors and the deemed owners of the Liquidation Trust.
 
12.10      Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time (a) by order of the Bankruptcy Court or (b) by a written instrument signed by the Liquidation Trustee; provided, that in the case of clause (b) above, (i) any such amendment shall require the prior written approval of a majority of the members of the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board; (ii) any such amendment that would adversely affect any Beneficiary in a manner disproportionate from the other Beneficiaries in their capacities as such shall require the consent of each such adversely and disproportionately affected Beneficiary; and any such amendment that affects the Delaware Trustee’s duties, obligations, rights, privileges or protections hereunder shall require the written consent of the Delaware Trustee.
26

12.11     Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction contained in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.
 
12.12     Counterparts and Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and a facsimile or other electronic form of signature shall be of the same force and effect as an original.
 
12.13     Jurisdiction. The Bankruptcy Court shall have jurisdiction regarding the Liquidation Trust, the Liquidation Trustee, the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board, and the Liquidation Trust Assets, including the determination of all disputes arising out of or related to administration of the Liquidation Trust. The Bankruptcy Court shall have continuing jurisdiction and venue to hear and finally determine all disputes and related matters arising out of or related to this Agreement or the administration of the Liquidation Trust. The parties expressly consent to the Bankruptcy Court hearing and exercising such judicial power as is necessary to finally determine all such disputes and matters. If the Bankruptcy Court abstains from exercising, or declines to exercise, jurisdiction or is otherwise without jurisdiction over any matter arising in, arising under, or related to the Chapter 11 Cases, including the matters set forth in this Agreement, then the provisions of this Agreement shall have no effect on and shall not control, limit or prohibit the exercise of jurisdiction by any other court having competent jurisdiction with respect to such matter, and all applicable references in this Agreement to an order or decision of the Bankruptcy Court shall instead mean an order or decision of such other court of competent jurisdiction.

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO
LIQUIDATION TRUST AGREEMENT

This Amendment No. 1 to Liquidation Trust Agreement (this “Amendment”) is entered into effective as of August 21, 2019 (the “Effective Date”) by Michael Goldberg, solely in his capacity as Liquidation Trustee (the “Liquidation Trustee”) of Woodbridge Liquidation Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Liquidation Trust”), to amend the Liquidation Trust Agreement dated as of February 15, 2019 by and among the entities listed as “Debtors” on the signature pages thereto, the Liquidation Trustee, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Delaware Trustee (the “Trust Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition herein shall be deemed to have the meanings given to such terms in the Trust Agreement or incorporated therein.

R E C I T A L S

 

A.         Section 12.10 of the Trust Agreement provides that the Trust Agreement may be amended from time to time by a written instrument signed by the Liquidation Trustee provided that (i) such amendment shall require the prior written approval of a majority of the members of the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board and (ii) any such amendment that would adversely affect any Beneficiary in a manner disproportionate from the other Beneficiaries in their capacities as such shall require the consent of each such adversely and disproportionately affected Beneficiary and any such amendment that affects the Delaware Trustee’s duties, obligations, rights, privileges or protections hereunder shall require the written consent of the Delaware Trustee.

 

B.         This Amendment, a written instrument signed by the Liquidation Trustee, has received the prior written approval of a majority of the members of the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board.

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO
LIQUIDATION TRUST AGREEMENT

This Amendment No. 2 to Liquidation Trust Agreement (this “Amendment”) is entered into effective as of September 13, 2019 (the “Effective Date”) by Michael Goldberg, solely in his capacity as Liquidation Trustee (the “Liquidation Trustee”) of Woodbridge Liquidation Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Liquidation Trust”), to amend the Liquidation Trust Agreement dated as of February 15, 2019  by and among the entities listed as “Debtors” on the signature pages thereto, the Liquidation Trustee, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Delaware Trustee (as amended, the “Trust Agreement”).  Capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition herein shall be deemed to have the meanings given to such terms in the Trust Agreement or incorporated therein.

R E C I T A L S

A.          Section 12.10 of the Trust Agreement provides that the Trust Agreement may be amended from time to time by a written instrument signed by the Liquidation Trustee provided that (i) such amendment shall require the prior written approval of a majority of the members of the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board and (ii) any such amendment that would adversely affect any Beneficiary in a manner disproportionate from the other Beneficiaries in their capacities as such shall require the consent of each such adversely and disproportionately affected Beneficiary and any such amendment that affects the Delaware Trustee’s duties, obligations, rights, privileges or protections hereunder shall require the written consent of the Delaware Trustee.

B.          This Amendment, a written instrument signed by the Liquidation Trustee, has received the prior written approval of a majority of the members of the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board.  The intent of this Amendment is to clarify the periodic reporting obligations of the Liquidation Trust in connection with, and following the effectiveness of, an Exchange Act Registration for the purpose of avoiding the time and expense of duplicative periodic reporting under both the Trust Agreement and the Exchange Act and eliminating potential liabilities under the Exchange Act as a result of the release of unaudited financial information and/or other potentially conflicting or inconsistent reports otherwise required under the Trust Agreement.  This Amendment does not adversely affect any Beneficiary in a manner disproportionate from the other Beneficiaries in their capacities as such and does not affect any duties, obligations, rights, privileges or protections of the Delaware Trustee.

C.          Effective as of the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trustee now wishes to amend the Trust Agreement as set forth below.

2.5         Requests for Advances Under Line of Credit. Each Request for Advance shall indicate the proposed date for the Line of Credit Advance requested by Borrower in the Request for Advance (referred to as the “Advance Date”). Each Request for Advance shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to the Lender. Each Advance Date shall be a Business Day. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and that no material damage or destruction has occurred on a Property, on or about the Advance Date, the Lender shall make the Line of Credit Advance available to Borrower, as elected by Borrower, in immediately available funds by deposit or credit to an account in Borrower’s name established or to be established at one of the Lender’s offices, by check payable directly to Borrower or to a payee designated by Borrower, or by such other method as may be reasonably designated by the Borrower. If material damage or destruction has occurred at a Property, at the option of the Lender, (a) the Line of Credit Advance shall be limited so that the outstanding Loan balance does not exceed the Commitment less the Allocated Loan Amount for the Property where the damage or destruction has occurred; provided that if the Line of Credit Advance is so limited, the Proceeds (as defined in the Deed of Trust for such Property) resulting from such casualty shall be retained by the Borrower and/or applicable Subsidiary Guarantor, or (b) in the event the Loan is fully drawn or is “Overadvanced” (as hereinafter defined), all or a portion of the Proceeds (as defined in such Deed of Trust for such Property), in an amount at no time to exceed the Allocated Loan Amount for such Property, shall be paid over to the Lender and applied to the Loan with a corresponding reduction in the Commitment; provided that, so long as no Event of Default is then continuing, substantially concurrently with such turnover of proceeds and reduction of the Commitment, the Lender will reconvey the Deed of Trust for such Property. In the event the Line of Credit Advance is limited as set forth in clause (a) above, the Line of Credit Advance shall be reinstated by the Lender upon Lender’s receipt of evidence, acceptable to Lender, that the Property has been fully repaired or reconstructed and that the fair market value of the Property is at least as great as it was prior to the date on which the damage or destruction occurred, as demonstrated by an appraisal acceptable to Lender. As used herein, “Overadvanced” means that, not taking into account the Allocated Loan Amount of the damaged or destroyed Property, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan exceeds the Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the balance of the Properties (those Properties other than the damaged or destroyed Property). If the Lender makes a Line of Credit Advance by wire transfer of funds (a “Wire Transfer”) pursuant to a Request for Advance, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) the transmission of the Line of Credit Advance by Wire Transfer may be significantly delayed as a result of Governmental Requirements; and (b) Lender’s standard Wire Transfer fee shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower to the Lender for each Request for Advance made by Wire Transfer, and the Lender, at its option and without further authorization from Borrower, shall have the right to automatically pay such fee from any portion of the Commitment that remains available. Principal, interest, and all other sums owing to the Lender under any of the Loan Documents shall be evidenced by records maintained by the Lender for such purposes.

2.6          Reliance by Lender. The Lender may conclusively presume that all requests, statements, information, certifications, and representations, whether written or oral, submitted or made by Borrower or any of its agents to the Lender in connection with the Loan are true and correct, and the Lender shall be entitled to rely thereon, without investigation or inquiry of any kind by the Lender, in disbursing the Loan proceeds and taking or refraining from taking any other action in connection with the Loan. Without limiting the generality of this Section, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) it is in the best interest of Borrower that the Lender respond to and be entitled to rely upon Requests for Advances that are given by Borrower in writing, by telephone, or by other telecommunication method acceptable to the Lender without the Lender having to inquire into the actual authority of the Person making such request and purporting to act on behalf of Borrower; (b) therefore, the Lender may conclusively rely on any and all Requests for Advances (whether made in writing, by telephone, or by other telecommunication method) made by (i) any Person who purports to be one of the agents of Borrower who has been authorized to act for Borrower in any resolution or other form of authorization of any kind delivered to the Lender (a “Borrower Authorization”); and (ii) any other Person who the Lender in good faith believes to be authorized to act for Borrower (notwithstanding the fact that such other Person is not identified in any Borrower Authorization); and (a) Borrower assumes all risks arising out of any lack of actual authority by any Person submitting any form of Request for Advance (whether made in writing, by telephone, or by other telecommunication method) to the Lender and the Lender’s reliance or, such Request for Advance.

All rights, remedies, benefits and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against Borrower, as principal, or against any other person, by operation of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580d or otherwise. Guarantor acknowledges that (a) subject to the terms of this Guaranty, Guarantor has or may have under certain circumstances certain subrogation, reimbursement, and other recovery rights against Borrower which may entitle Guarantor to recover from Borrower all or part of the Indebtedness which Guarantor may be required to pay to the Lender under this Guaranty; (b) in the absence of the waivers contained in this Section 6.4, if the Lender were to elect to conduct a nonjudicial foreclosure sale of all or part of the real property encumbered by the Deed of Trust, Guarantor would have or may have a defense to the enforcement of this Guaranty in an action by the Lender to collect a deficiency judgment against Guarantor based on such an election of remedies by the Lender; and (c) such defense by Guarantor would be based on, among other things, existing case law which holds that because a nonjudicial foreclosure sale by a lender destroys a guarantor’s subrogation or other recovery rights against the borrower by the operation of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580d, the lender is estopped or barred from enforcing a guaranty against a guarantor because the lender has elected a remedy which has prejudiced the guarantor’s subrogation or other recovery rights against the borrower. Without in any way limiting any of the terms of this Guaranty (including the waivers contained in this Section 6.4), Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this Section 6.4 constitutes a waiver by Guarantor of the defense described in the preceding sentence;

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11, all existing and future indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor and, if Borrower is a partnership, corporation or other entity, the right, if any, of Guarantor to withdraw any capital invested by Guarantor in Borrower (such indebtedness and right to receive capital are referred to collectively as the “Subordinated Debt”), are subordinated to all Indebtedness of Borrower to the Lender. Following and during the continuance of an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Loan Documents), (a) without the prior written consent of the Lender, none of the Subordinated Debt shall be paid to or withdrawn by Guarantor, nor shall Guarantor accept any payment of the Subordinated Debt; and (b) at the Lender’s request, Guarantor shall cause Borrower to pay to the Lender all or any part of the Subordinated Debt designated by the Lender which Guarantor is otherwise entitled to receive. Any payment of Subordinated Debt by Borrower to Guarantor in violation of this Guaranty shall be received by Guarantor in trust for the Lender, and Guarantor shall cause the same to be paid to the Lender immediately on account of the Indebtedness of Borrower to the Lender. No such payment shall reduce or affect in any manner the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty.
C-5

12.          Bankruptcy Proceedings. Guarantor shall file in any Bankruptcy Proceeding or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required or permitted by law all claims which Guarantor may have against Borrower relating to any indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor and, upon the Lender’s request, shall assign to the Lender all rights of Guarantor thereunder pursuant to a written assignment reasonably acceptable to the Lender in form and substance. If Guarantor has not filed any such claim by the earlier of ten (10) days after the Lender’s request or thirty (30) days before such claim is required to be filed by applicable law, regulation, rule, or court order, then Guarantor appoints the Lender as Guarantor’s attorney-in-fact to cause such claim to be filed in the name of Guarantor or, at the Lender’s discretion, in the name of a nominee designated by the Lender. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and may not be revoked by Guarantor. The Lender or its nominee shall have the sole right to accept or reject any plan proposed in any Bankruptcy Proceeding and to take any other action which a party filing a claim is entitled to take. In all such cases, the person authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the Lender the amount payable on such claim and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, Guarantor hereby assigns to the Lender all of Guarantor’s rights to any such payments or distributions to which Guarantor would otherwise be entitled; provided, however, Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall only be satisfied or partially satisfied, as applicable, as a result of such payment or distribution to the extent of, and in an amount equal to, the payment or distribution in cash actually received by the Lender. If the Lender receives any property under this Section other than cash, then at the Lender’s option, the same shall be held as collateral for amounts due under this Guaranty. Nothing in this Guaranty shall be deemed to obligate the Lender to file any claim as Guarantor’s attorney-in-fact.

13.          Continuation of Guaranty if Payments are Avoided or Recovered from the Lender. The Lender shall have the right to refund to Borrower any payment or recovery received by the Lender on account of the Indebtedness, and payment to the Lender of the amount refunded shall be fully guaranteed by Guarantor under this Guaranty. Without limiting the preceding sentence, if the Lender is required to pay, return or restore to Borrower or any other person any amount previously paid or recovered on account of the Indebtedness as a preference, fraudulent transfer or because of any Bankruptcy Proceeding or other similar proceeding, or for any other reason, Guarantor’s obligations shall be reinstated and revived, and the Lender’ rights shall continue, with regard to such amount as though such amount had never been paid to or recovered by the Lender, regardless of payment in full of the Indebtedness prior to such payment, return, or restoration to Borrower or any other person.

14.          The Lender’s Rights Cumulative. The Lender’s rights and remedies under this Guaranty are cumulative with and in addition to (a) the Lender’s rights and remedies under any existing or future agreement between the Lender and Guarantor, including any other guaranty executed by Guarantor relating to any indebtedness of Borrower to the Lender; and (b) all rights and remedies which the Lender may have under applicable law or any other agreement, including any other guaranty by any other guarantor of any indebtedness of Borrower to the Lender. No provision of this Guaranty shall be deemed to be in limitation of any other provision of this Guaranty.

15.          The Lender’s Exercise of Rights. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower, and the Lender shall have the right to commence and prosecute a separate action against Guarantor, whether or not Borrower is joined in such action or a separate action is brought against Borrower. The Lender shall have the right to commence and prosecute successive actions against Guarantor for separate breaches of this Guaranty. The Lender shall have the right to exercise any one or more of its rights and remedies under or in connection with this Guaranty at the Lender’s option, in its discretion, without notice to Guarantor or any other person (except as otherwise expressly required by this Guaranty or under any other written agreement executed by the Lender), and in such order and manner and at such times as the Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Whenever (a) the terms of this Guaranty grant the Lender the right to consent to or approve any transaction or matter; (b) the Lender is authorized or empowered under this Guaranty to make a determination with respect to any transaction or matter; or (c) this Guaranty provides that any agreement or other item must be approved by or acceptable to the Lender, then except as otherwise expressly provided, if at all, in this Guaranty, (i) the Lender shall have the right to grant or withhold such approval or consent and make such determination in its sole and absolute discretion; and (ii) the form and substance of such agreement or other item must be satisfactory to the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. Whenever the terms of this Guaranty require the Lender’s consent to or approval of any transaction, matter, or agreement, such consent or approval shall not be deemed to be effective unless it is set forth in a written agreement signed by the Lender,

16.          Attorneys’ Fees and Costs and Other Expenses. Upon the Lender’s demand, Guarantor shall reimburse the Lender for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’, consultants’, and expert witnesses’ fees and costs, which are incurred by the Lender in connection with the exercise of any or all of the Lender’s rights and remedies under this Guaranty, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Indebtedness or any or all of the Lender’s rights against Guarantor under this Guaranty, whether or not any legal proceedings are instituted by the Lender, and all costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with any Bankruptcy Proceeding or other similar proceeding involving Guarantor which in any way affects the Lender’s exercise of any of its rights and remedies under this Guaranty. Guarantor’s obligation to reimburse the Lender under this Section shall include payment of interest on all amounts expended by the Lender from the date of expenditure at the rate of interest applicable to principal under the Note at the time of such expenditure. Without limiting the terms of this Section, Guarantor agrees that the Lender shall be entitled to retain such attorneys as the Lender, in its discretion, may select at such attorneys’ customary rates and charges for legal fees, costs and other services, and the Lender shall be entitled to full reimbursement from Guarantor for all such fees, costs and charges, regardless of any schedule, formula or other guideline for attorneys’ fees, whether described as reasonable or otherwise, which is established, set or adopted pursuant to any governmental requirements or by any trial, appellate, or bankruptcy court or governmental authority.
C-6

17.        Reserved.

18.       Representations and Warranties by Guarantor. As a material inducement to the Lender’s extension of credit to Borrower in connection with the Loan, Guarantor makes the following representations and warranties to the Lender, each of which shall survive the closing of the Loan and all other extensions of credit to Borrower which comprise part of the Indebtedness:

18.1         Corporate, Partnership, or Limited Liability Company Existence. If Guarantor is a  corporation, partnership, or limited liability company, Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation or organization, as applicable, and Guarantor is qualified to do business and is in good standing under the laws of the State of California.

18.2          Existence of Trust. If Guarantor is a trust, Guarantor is duly organized and validly existing, and the trustees of Guarantor are qualified to act in such capacity.

18.3          Authority. Guarantor has the full power and authority to carry on its business and to enter into and perform all of its obligations under this Guaranty, and this Guaranty, when executed by the persons signing this Guaranty on behalf of Guarantor, shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms. The person or persons executing this Guaranty on behalf of Guarantor are duly authorized to execute this Guaranty. No consent of any other person not previously obtained by Guarantor, and no consent, approval, authorization or other action by or filing with any governmental authority not previously obtained, taken, or made, as applicable, is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty.

18.4        No Violations. Guarantor’s execution of this Guaranty and Guarantor’s performance of its obligations hereunder will not result in a breach or violation of (a) any governmental requirements applicable to Guarantor or any judgment, writ, injunction, decree or order of any court relating and known to Guarantor; (b) any mortgage, commitment, restriction, or other document to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor is bound; (c) Guarantor’s agreement or certificate of limited partnership, if Guarantor is a limited partnership; (d) Guarantor’s agreement or statement of partnership, if Guarantor is a general partnership; (e) Guarantor’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, if Guarantor is a corporation; (f) Guarantor’s articles of organization or operating agreement, if Guarantor is a limited liability company; or (g) Guarantor’s trust agreement, if Guarantor is a trust.

18.5        Financial Information. All statements respecting the financial condition of Guarantor and Borrower, respectively, which have been furnished to the Lender or which are hereafter submitted to the Lender (a) are or shall be accurate and complete in all material respects as of the dates appearing thereon; (b) present or shall present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition and results of operations of the person to whom the financial statement applies as of the dates and for the periods shown on such statements; (c) disclose or shall disclose all material suits, actions, proceedings and contingent liabilities affecting the person to whom the financial statement applies; and (d) have been or shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles on the liquidation basis of accounting or such other accounting principles as may be reasonably acceptable to the Lender, consistently applied. None of the reports, information and documents furnished to the Lender by Guarantor in connection with the Loan, taken as a whole, contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, misleading; provided that, with respect to any projections, the Guarantor represents that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions of the Guarantor believed to be reasonable at the time prepared.

18.6          Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the best of Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Guarantor in any court or before any other governmental authority, nor does Guarantor know of any basis for any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Guarantor to perform any of its obligations under this Guaranty.

18.7          Loan Documents. Guarantor has received copies of the Loan Documents described in recital Section A above, has carefully read such Loan Documents, and understands all of the terms of such Loan Documents. To the best of Guarantor’s knowledge, the representations and warranties made by Borrower to the Lender under the Loan Documents are true and correct.

19.         Default. The occurrence of any default by Borrower under any of the Loan Documents, or Guarantor’s default under any of the terms of this Guaranty or the failure of any of Guarantor’s representations or warranties under this Guaranty to be accurate and complete, shall at the option of the Lender entitle the Lender to declare the Indebtedness, or such portion thereof as may be designated by the Lender, to be immediately due and payable by Guarantor to the Lender.

20.          Severability. If any provision of this Guaranty is held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, voidable, void, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be deemed to be severable from and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Guaranty, and such remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. Without limiting the preceding sentence, if any of the waivers contained in this Guaranty is held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, voidable, void, or unenforceable for any reason, such waiver shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.
C-7

21.          Successors; Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns (including any assignee of the Loan Documents) and shall be binding on Guarantor and its heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns. Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall continue until all Indebtedness has been paid or performed in full. This is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance of the Indebtedness and may not be revoked by Guarantor under any circumstances, except only to the extent that such revocation is expressly permitted under applicable law and the terms of this Guaranty with respect to future new loan transactions between the Lender and Borrower entered into after the effective date of such revocation and with respect to which there is no continuing consideration. Subject to and except as otherwise provided in this Section 21, this Guaranty may be revoked solely with respect to future new loan transactions between the Lender and Borrower as to which there is no continuing consideration only by a written notice of revocation by Guarantor to the Lender which has been received by an officer of the Lender at the Lender’s offices located at the address for notices to the Lender which is specified in Section 23 below. Any such notice of revocation by Guarantor to the Lender (a) shall not be effective until 5 p.m., Pacific Standard time, on the first (1st) business day following the date on which such notice is actually received by the Lender pursuant to Section 23 below; and (b) shall not apply or be effective with respect to (i) any Indebtedness created, existing or arising prior to the time such notice of revocation becomes effective pursuant to this Section (whether or not such Indebtedness is then outstanding or has then accrued); or (ii) any extension, renewal, modification, amendment, supplement, or replacement of the Indebtedness, whether made before or after such notice of revocation becomes effective pursuant to this Section; or (iii) any Indebtedness which is reinstated or revived pursuant to the terms of Section 13 above, whether such reinstatement or revival occurs before or after such notice of revocation becomes effective pursuant to this Section. If Guarantor is a natural person, this Guaranty shall not be terminated or revoked by the death of Guarantor with respect to future extensions of credit by the Lender to Borrower, unless and until a notice of revocation has been received by the Lender from the duly appointed representative, executor or administrator of Guarantor’s estate in accordance with this Section, notwithstanding the fact that the Lender may have knowledge of Guarantor’s death.

22.          Assignment. The Lender shall have the right, without notice to or the consent of Guarantor or any other person, (a) to assign this Guaranty, in whole or in part, to any person in connection with the sale, transfer, pledge or assignment of any or all of Loan Documents; and (b) to sell one or more participations in this Guaranty to any person in connection with the sale of participations in the Loan Documents. Upon any assignment of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall be liable to the assignee under this Guaranty without in any manner affecting the liability of Guarantor to the Lender with respect to any Indebtedness which continues to be owing to the Lender. The Lender is authorized to disclose to any assignee, participant in the Loan, or prospective assignee or participant in the Loan all documents and information now or hereafter in the Lender’s possession or control relating to Guarantor, the Indebtedness, or the Collateral, provided that such disclosure shall be made exclusively in connection with the proposed assignment of this Guaranty or sale of a participation in the Loan.

23.          Notices. All notices and demands which the Lender may elect to give to Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be in writing and shall be effective on the earlier of personal delivery to Guarantor or three (3) days after deposit in first-class or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Guarantor at the address set forth opposite Guarantor’s signature appearing below. All notices and demands by Guarantor to the Lender under this Guaranty shall be in writing and shall be effective only on actual receipt by the Lender at the Lender’s address set forth in the Deed of Trust; provided, however, that nonreceipt of any such notice or demand by the Lender as a result of the Lender’s refusal to accept delivery shall be deemed receipt by the Lender. For purposes of this Section, written notice shall be deemed to include notice given by telegram, telecopy, telex, and overnight courier service. Guarantor’s and the Lender’s respective addresses set forth in this Section may be changed by written notice given to the other party in accordance with this Section. If Guarantor consists of more than one person, service of any notice or demand on any one of such persons by the Lender shall be effective service on Guarantor for all purposes

24.          Amendments; Time of the Essence. This Guaranty may be modified or supplemented only by a written agreement signed by the Lender and Guarantor. Time is of the essence in the performance of each provision of this Guaranty by Guarantor.

25.          No Waivers or Release by the Lender. No waiver by the Lender of any of its rights or remedies in connection with the Indebtedness or of any of the terms or conditions of the Loan Documents or this Guaranty, and no release by the Lender of Guarantor under this Guaranty, shall be effective unless such waiver or release is in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Lender. Without limiting the generality of this Section, (a) no delay or omission by the Lender in exercising any of its rights or remedies in connection with the Indebtedness or this Guaranty shall constitute or be construed as a waiver of such rights or remedies; (b) no waiver by the Lender of any default by Borrower under the Loan Documents or by Guarantor under this Guaranty, or consent by the Lender to any act or omission by Borrower or Guarantor, shall constitute or be construed as a waiver of or consent to any other or subsequent default, act or omission by Borrower or Guarantor; (c) no disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan or any future advance by the Lender following any default by Borrower under the Loan Documents shall constitute or be construed as a waiver of such default or obligate the Lender to make any other disbursement under the Loan Documents; (d) no acceptance by the Lender of any late payment or late or defective performance of any of the Indebtedness by Borrower shall constitute a waiver by the Lender of the right to require prompt payment and performance strictly in accordance with the Loan Documents with respect to any other payment or performance of any of the Indebtedness; (e) no acceptance by the Lender of any payment or performance following any notice of default which has been given by the Lender shall constitute a waiver of the Lenders right to proceed with the exercise of its remedies with respect to any Indebtedness which has not been paid or performed in full; and (f) no acceptance by the Lender of any partial payment or performance from Guarantor shall constitute a waiver by the Lender of any of its rights or remedies relating to any obligations of Guarantor which have not been paid or performed in full.
C-8

Whenever the context of this Guaranty reasonably requires, all words used in the singular shall be deemed to have been used in the plural, and the neuter gender shall be deemed to include the masculine and feminine gender, and vice versa. For purposes of this Guaranty, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Guaranty, (a) all references to the Indebtedness shall be deemed to refer to any or all of the Indebtedness; (b) all references to the Collateral shall be deemed to refer to any or all of the Collateral; (c) all references to the Loan Documents shall be deemed to refer to any or all of the Loan Documents; (d) all references to Borrower shall be deemed to include the Borrower named above in this Guaranty, any person at any time assuming or otherwise becoming primarily liable on the Indebtedness, and any person holding or acting on behalf of the estate of the Borrower named above in this Guaranty, including any debtor in possession or trustee under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Bankruptcy Proceeding and any receiver, liquidator, custodian, or sequestrator of Borrower or Borrower’s property; (e) the term “including” shall be deemed to mean “including without limitation,” and the term “include” shall be deemed to mean “include but not be limited to”; (f) the term “document” or “agreement” shall include all contracts, commitments, restrictions, agreements, mortgages, and instruments; (g) the term “discretion” shall be deemed to mean “sole and absolute discretion”; and (h) the term “person” shall include any natural person and any entity, including any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, unincorporated organization, trustee, or governmental authority. The headings to sections of this Guaranty are for convenient reference only, do not in any way define or limit any of the terms of this Guaranty, and shall not be used in interpreting this Guaranty.

27.          Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. This Guaranty shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents. In any action brought under or arising out of this Guaranty, Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally (a) consents to the jurisdiction of any competent court within the State of California; (b) consents to service of process by any means authorized by California law; and (c) agrees that the Lender may commence any such action in any court having jurisdiction over the matter located in any county in which the Lender has an office or in which all or part of the Collateral is located. Without limiting the preceding sentence, Guarantor waives all existing and future objections which Guarantor may have to (i) personal jurisdiction over Guarantor by any court within the State of California: and (ii) venue by any court specified in Section 27(c) above.

28.          Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section, this Guaranty contains the entire agreement between Guarantor and the Lender concerning the subject matter of this Guaranty and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous negotiations, agreements, statements, understandings, terms, conditions, representations and warranties, whether oral or written, made by Guarantor or the Lender concerning the subject matter of this Guaranty. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, nothing contained in this Guaranty shall be deemed to supersede or otherwise affect (a) any other guaranty executed by Guarantor in favor of the Lender; or (b) any other written agreement now or at any time hereafter executed by Guarantor and the Lender. Without limiting this Section, Guarantor agrees that no promise, agreement, representation, or warranty of any kind which is not expressed in this Guaranty was made to induce Guarantor to enter into this Guaranty, and no course of dealing between the Lender and Guarantor or Borrower or extrinsic or parol evidence of any kind shall be used to supplement, modify or vary any of the terms of this Guaranty.

29.          WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE LOAN, THIS GUARANTY, THE DEED OF TRUST, OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EXECUTED BY BORROWER, ANY OR ALL OF THE REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL SECURING THE LOAN, OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS WHICH ARE CONTEMPLATED BY THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THIS GUARANTY.

Exhibit 10.3
 
AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
 
This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (as hereinafter amended from time to time, this “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 31st day of July, 2019 by and between WOODBRIDGE WIND-DOWN ENTITY LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and FREDERICK CHIN (the “Employee”).
 
RECITALS
 
The Company is engaged in the business of the management and administration of Company assets and the distribution of net proceeds from sales and dispositions thereof to the Liquidation Trust in accordance with the terms of (1) the Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company, dated as of February 15, 2019 (the “LLC Agreement”), (2) the Liquidation Trust Agreement, dated February 15, 2019, by and among the Debtors party thereto and Michael Goldberg, as Liquidation Trustee (the “Trust Agreement”), (3) the First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation of Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and its Affiliated Debtors, dated August 22, 2018 (as it may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Plan”), and (4) the order of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware confirming the Plan, dated October 26, 2018 (the “Order”);
 
The Company and the Employee are party to an Employment Agreement, dated as of February 15, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), between the Company and Employee, pursuant to which Employee is employed as Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “Prior Employment Agreement”); and
 
The Company and the Employee desire to enter into this Agreement, as an amendment and restatement of the Prior Employment Agreement, in order for the Company to continue to engage the services of Employee and Employee desires to serve the Company on the terms herein provided.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are mutually acknowledged, the Company and the Employee (individually a “Party” and together the “Parties”), intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
 
AGREEMENT
 
1.  Employment Term. The Company hereby employs the Employee, and the Employee hereby accepts such employment, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and continuing for a term of two (2) years and six (6) months (the “Initial Term”). At the expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for one additional term of one (1) full fiscal quarter (the “First Extension”) if the wind down of the Company has not been completed on or before the expiration of the Initial Term. At the expiration of the First Extension, this Agreement will automatically renew for one additional term of one (1) full fiscal quarter (the “Second Extension”) if the wind down of the Company has not been completed on or before the expiration of the First Extension. For purposes of this agreement, “Employment Term” shall mean the Initial Term and, as applicable, the First Extension and Second Extension. Wind down of the Company shall be deemed to occur 60 days following the sale or other disposition of all of the real property vested in the Company as contemplated by the LLC Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Plan and the Order.
 
1

2.  Position.
 
(a) The Employee shall serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Employee shall have such duties and authority, commensurate with such senior executive position and subject to the supervision of the Company’s Board of Managers (as defined in the LLC Agreement) (the “Board”) which are described in the LLC Agreement consistent with the Plan, including the authority to administer the Company in the manner contemplated by the LLC Agreement and the Amended Wind-Down Business Plan approved by the Company’s Board of Managers. For so long as the Employee serves as Chief Executive Officer during the Employment Term, the Employee shall, subject to the provisions of the LLC Agreement, also serve as a member of the Board, without additional compensation.
 
(b) The Employee shall devote substantially all of his full business time and efforts to the performance of the Employee’s duties hereunder and shall not engage in any other business, profession, or occupation for compensation or otherwise that would conflict or interfere with the rendering of such services either directly or indirectly without the prior written consent of the Board; provided, that nothing herein shall preclude the Employee from accepting appointment to or to continue to serve on any board of directors or trustees of any business, charitable, educational organization, from engaging in other charitable, civic, and professional activities, or engaging in passive investment activities with other business ventures, provided, further, that such activities in the aggregate do not conflict or interfere in any material respect with the performance of the Employee’s duties hereunder or require Employee to devote more than forty (40) hours of time per month.
 
3. Base Salary. During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay the Employee an effective annual base salary of $750,000, payable in installments in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices as in effect from time to time (not less frequently than twice per month), subject to applicable deductions and withholding. The Employee’s effective annual base salary, as in effect from time to time, is hereinafter referred to as the “Base Salary.” The Employee shall be entitled to annual increases (but not decreases) in Base Salary, based on an annual merit review by the Board; provided, that any such increase shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Board and limited to no more than ten percent (10%) of the preceding year’s Base Salary. The first annual increase to the Base Salary shall occur not earlier than December 31, 2019.
 
4. Bonus. During the Employment Term, Employee shall be eligible to receive bonus payments determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4(a) and 4(b) below.
 
(a) Wind Down Bonus Compensation. At the earlier of concluding the wind down of the Company’s assets as contemplated by the Plan, and expiration of the Employment Term (subject to the Extension), the Company will calculate the collective amount that has been distributed from the Company to the Liquidation Trust, and Employee will be entitled to receive a cash bonus determined on the basis of the aggregate amount of cash distributions from the Company to the Liquidation Trust for the period from the Effective Date to and including the end of the Employment Term (the “Wind Down Period”). For purposes of all bonus calculations under this Section 4, the term “distributions from the Company to the Liquidation Trust” and variations thereof shall include all remissions of Cash from the Company to the Liquidation Trust (“Distributions”). For the avoidance of doubt, Distributions exclude Liquidation Trust Expenses, and there shall have been no Distributions occurring prior to the Effective Date. If the collective amount of Distributions during the Wind Down Period is less than Three Hundred Fifty One Million Ninety Three Thousand Dollars ($351,093,000) (the “Wind Down Bonus Threshold”), Employee shall receive no bonus under this Section 4(a). For any amount of Distributions during the Wind Down Period in excess of the Wind Down Bonus Threshold, Employee’s bonus pursuant to this Section 4(a) (the “Wind Down Bonus”) shall be determined on the basis of the cumulative amount of Distributions during the Wind Down Period as follows:

 
Cumulative Amount of Distributions
During Wind Down Period
Wind Down Bonus
Payment Amount
Low
$351,093,000 to $401,442,999
$1,125,000
Base

$1,500,000
High
$528,585,000 or over
$1,875,000

The Wind Down Bonus payable to Employee under this Section 4(a) shall be determined and paid to Employee within 30 days after the end of the Wind Down Period; provided that no Wind Down Bonus shall be due or paid under this Agreement if Employee has been terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined below) or voluntarily resigned other than for Good Reason (as defined below) before the 30th day after the end of the Initial Term.
 
(b) Annual Bonus Compensation. At the end of each period described below Employee shall be entitled to a bonus determined on the basis of Distributions during such period. For the avoidance of doubt, Distributions in any given period shall include the amount of cash amounts collected as a result of or otherwise attributable to sales or other dispositions of real properties and other Company assets in such period, and distributed to the Liquidation Trust in a subsequent period, if so certified by the Board for purposes of calculating bonus payments earned for such period under this Section 4(b). All bonus amounts payable to Employee under this Section 4(b) shall be determined and paid to Employee within 30 days after the end of the applicable bonus period; provided that no annual bonus shall be due or paid under this Agreement for a specific period if Employee has been terminated by the Company for Cause or voluntarily resigned other than for Good Reason before the 30th day after the end of such period.
 
(i) Period 1. Period 1 is the period between the Effective Date and December 31, 2019. At the end of Period 1, the Company will calculate the amount of Distributions in respect of Period 1 (“Period 1 Distributions”). If the amount of Period 1 Distributions is less than Ninety Seven Million Three Hundred Thirty Two Thousand Dollars ($97,332,000) (the “Period 1 Bonus Threshold”), Employee shall receive no bonus under this Section 4(b)(i). If the amount of Period 1 Distributions exceeds the Period 1 Bonus Threshold, Employee’s bonus pursuant to this Section 4(b)(i) (the “Period 1 Bonus”) shall be an amount determined on the basis of cumulative Distributions during Period 1 as follows:

 
Cumulative Amount of Distributions
During Period 1
Period 1 Bonus Payment
Amount
Low
$97,332,000 to $106,504,999
$487,500
Base
$106,505,000 to $125,454,999
$637,500
High
$125,455,000 or more
$862,500

(ii) Period 2. Period 2 is the period between the Effective Date and December 31, 2020. At the end of Period 2, the Company will calculate the amount of Distributions in respect of Period 2 (which amount the parties acknowledge by definition shall include, without duplication, all Period 1 Distributions) (“Period 2 Distributions”). If the amount of Period 2 Distributions is less than One Hundred Seventy Eight Six Hundred Seventy Seven Thousand Dollars ($178,677,000) (the “Period 2 Bonus Threshold”), Employee shall receive no bonus under this Section 4(b)(ii). If the amount of Period 2 Distributions exceed the Period 2 Bonus Threshold, Employee’s bonus pursuant to this Section 4(b)(ii) (the “Period 2 Bonus”) shall be an amount determined on the basis of cumulative Distributions during Period 2 as follows:

 
Cumulative Amount of Distributions
During Period 2
Period 2 Bonus Payment
Amount
Low
$178,677,000 to $206,372,999
$487,500
Base
$206,373,000 to $262,744,999
$637,500
High
$262,745,000 or more
$862,500
3

(iii) Period 3. Period 3 is the period between the Effective Date and the expiration of the Term of this Agreement, as such term may be extended as provided in Section 1 above. At the end of Period 3, the Company will calculate the amount of Distributions in respect of Period 3 (which amount the parties acknowledge by definition shall include, without duplication, all Period 1 Distributions and all Period 2 Distributions) (“Period 3 Distributions”). If the amount of Period 3 Distributions is less than Three Hundred Fifty One Million Ninety Three Thousand Dollars ($351,093,000) (the “Period 3 Bonus Threshold”), Employee shall receive no bonus under this Section 4(b)(iii). If the amount of Period 3 Distributions exceed the Period 3 Bonus Threshold, Employee’s bonus pursuant to this Section 4(b)(iii) (the “Period 3 Bonus”) shall be an amount determined on the basis of cumulative Distributions during Period 3 as follows:

 
Cumulative Amount of Distributions
During Period 3
Period 2 Bonus Payment
Amount
Low
$351,093,000 to $401,442,999

$862,500

 
5. Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, Employee and his eligible dependents shall be entitled to participation in the Company’s health, dental, vision and life insurance coverages (collectively, “Employee Benefits”). In addition, the Employee shall be entitled to four (4) weeks of paid vacation each year.
 
6. Business Expenses. During the Employment Term, the Employee shall be reimbursed by the Company for reasonable business expenses incurred by the Employee in the performance of the Employee’s duties hereunder, including expenses for travel and lodging; provided, however, that any request of Employee for reimbursement of business expenses in excess of $10,000 in any calendar month during the Employment Term shall require the approval of the Board.
 
7. Termination. The Employee’s employment hereunder may be terminated by either Party at any time and for any reason on at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice (other than upon the Employee’s death or upon a termination for Cause, which may be effective immediately). Any purported termination of employment by the Company or by the Employee (other than due to the Employee’s death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other Party hereto in accordance with Section 13(f) hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 7 exclusively shall govern the Employee’s rights upon termination of employment with the Company and its affiliates.
 
(a) Termination by the Company for Cause.
 
(i) If the Employee’s employment hereunder is terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined below), the Employee shall be entitled to receive solely the following: Base Salary, accrued and unused vacation through the date of termination and all Employee Benefits prorated to the effective date of termination (the “Accrued Rights”). The Company and Employee acknowledge and agree that Accrued Rights shall also include bonuses that were required to be paid, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, but were not paid prior to the date of termination of employment (even resignation without Good Reason and termination for Cause).
 
4

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement (and notwithstanding any different definition of the term Cause in the LLC Agreement), “Cause” shall mean any of the following grounds for termination of Employee’s employment, in each case as reasonably determined by the Board within 90 days of the Board becoming aware of the existence of the event or circumstances: (A) fraud, embezzlement, or any act of moral turpitude or willful misconduct on the part of the Employee; (B) conviction of or the entry of a plea of nolo contendere by the Employee for any felony; (C) the willful breach by the Employee of any material term of this Agreement; or (D) the willful failure or refusal by the Employee to perform his reasonably assigned duties to the Company; provided, however, that no act or failure to act, on Employee’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by Employee not in good faith and without reasonable belief that Employee’s action or omission was in the best interest of the Company and consistent with the Plan and Wind-Down Business Plan.
 
(b) Voluntary Resignation by the Employee. If the Employee resigns voluntarily other than for Good Reason (as defined below), Employee shall be entitled to receive solely the Accrued Rights. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean any of the following which is not corrected by the Company within 30 days after the Company receives written notice from Employee specifying the circumstances and correction sought:
 
(i)    any diminution in Employee’s title, duties, authorities, or responsibilities, or actions by the Board without Employee’s consent assigning duties to Employee or otherwise directing actions inconsistent with the Wind-Down Business Plan;
 
(ii)    any reduction in, or limitation upon, Employee’s Base Salary, benefits or bonus opportunities;
 
(iii)   requiring Employee to relocate his regular office location for the performance of his duties to a location more than thirty (30) miles from such office;
 
(iv)   Employee ceases to be a member of the Board;
 
(v)    material breach by the Company of any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and Employee;
 
(vi)   the Company’s failure to extend the Employment Term to implement the Extension described in Section 1 of this Agreement; or
 
(vii)  any action by the Board (taken without Employee’s recommendation or over Employee’s objection) which could reasonably be expected to result in a failure of the Company to make Distributions in amounts required to earn any bonus opportunity under Section 4 above, including but not limited to proposed sales or dispositions of Wind Down Assets at material discounts to fair market value or incurring Wind Down Expenses in excess of market rates.
 
5

(c) Termination by the Company Without Cause or Resignation by Employee for Good Reason. If the Employee’s employment hereunder is terminated by the Company without Cause, or if the Employee resigns for Good Reason (subject to the last paragraph of this Section 7(c)), the Employee shall be entitled to receive the following in addition to the Accrued Rights:
 
(i)     Continued payments of Employee’s then applicable annual Base Salary for the remainder of the Employment Term (including the Extension, if any); plus
 
(ii)    Payments of the cash bonus amounts pursuant to Section 4 above that Employee would have become entitled to receive if he had remained employed during the entire Employment Term, which bonus amounts shall be determined in accordance with Section 4 and shall become due and payable to Employee when, as and if the corresponding amount would have become payable under Section 4. For example, if (i) Employee is terminated without Cause or resigns for Good Reason during Period 2, (ii) Distributions during the Wind Down Period are ultimately determined to be $360,000,000, (iii) Distributions during Period 1 were $110,000,000 (and a Period 1 Bonus of $637,500 had already been earned and paid as provided in Section 4(b)(i)), (iv) Distributions during Period 2 and Period 3 are ultimately determined to be $270,000,000 and $360,000,000, respectively, then Employee shall become entitled to receive: (x) a Wind Down Bonus in the amount of $1,125,000 within 30 days after the end of the Wind Down Period; (y) a Period 2 Bonus in the amount of $862,500 within 30 days after the end of Period 2; and a Period 3 Bonus in the amount of $487,500 within 30 days after the end of Period 3.
 
Employee must actually terminate employment within two (2) years following the initial existence of the event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, and Employee must have given the Company notice of the initial existence of such event or circumstance within 90 days of its initial existence, in order for Employee to be entitled to resign for Good Reason and the benefits of this Section 7(c).
 
(d) Termination Upon Death or Disability of Employee. If the Employee’s employment hereunder is terminated by reason of the Death or Disability of Employee, the Employee (or Employee’s estate or beneficiary) shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Accrued Rights, the bonus amounts to which Employee would thereafter have become entitled to receive under Section 7(c)(ii) above, which bonus amounts shall prorated on the basis of the Distributions actually made prior to the effective date of termination for the period(s) applicable to the bonus determination under Section 4 above. For this purpose, the prorated bonus amount for each applicable bonus period (the Wind Down Period and the applicable Section 4(b) annual period (Period 1, Period 2 or Period 3) shall be equal to the full maximum bonus amounts payable for each such period, as applicable, multiplied by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the aggregate amount of Distributions for the applicable period ending on the effective date of termination, by (y) the aggregate amount of Distributions for the entire applicable period including the effective date of termination.
 
For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the Employee is disabled by any physical or mental condition that renders him unable to perform the essential functions of his position with or without reasonable accommodation as required by law for any period of ninety (90) consecutive days or an aggregate of one hundred twenty (120) days during any 12-month period.
 
(e) Board/Committee Resignation. Upon termination of the Employee’s employment for any reason, the Employee agrees to resign at the direction of the Board, as of the date of such termination and to the extent applicable, from the Board (and any committees thereof) and the board of directors (and any committees thereof) or any other positions of any of the Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates.
 
(f) Nature of Termination Benefits. The termination benefits provided under this Section 7 shall not be treated as damages, but rather shall be treated as severance compensation to which Employee is entitled. Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefit provided by seeking other employment or otherwise and there shall be no reduction of or offset against amounts due Employee under this Agreement on account of any remuneration or earnings that Employee may receive from to any other source.
 
6

8.  Section 409A.
 
(a) The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with or be exempt from Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. If the Employee notifies the Company that the Employee has received advice of tax counsel of a national reputation with expertise in Section 409A that any provision of this Agreement (or of any award of compensation, including equity compensation or benefits) would cause the Employee to incur any additional tax or interest under Section 409A (with specificity as to the reason therefor) or the Company independently makes such determination, the Company shall, after consulting with the Employee, reform such provision to try to comply with Section 409A through good faith modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate to conform with Section 409A. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to the Employee and the Company of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A.
 
(b) A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits that are considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A and the payment thereof prior to a “separation from service” would violate Section 409A. For purposes of any such provision of this Agreement relating to any such payments or benefits, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment,” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” If the Employee is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then, notwithstanding any other provision herein, with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided prior to the date that is the earlier of (A) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of the Employee, and (B) the date of the Employee’s death (the “Delay Period”). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 10(b) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single lump sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Employee in a lump sum on the first business day following the Delay Period, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.
 
(c) (i) All expenses or other reimbursements as provided herein shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s policies as in effect from time to time, but in any event shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by the Employee; (ii) no such reimbursement or expenses eligible for reimbursement in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year; and (iii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchanged for another benefit.
 
(d) For purposes of Section 409A, the Employee’s right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., “payment shall be made within 30 days following the date of termination”), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company.
 
7

9. Directors and Officers Insurance; Indemnification.
 
(a) During the Employment Term, the Company shall keep in force for the Employee coverage under a directors and officers liability insurance policy, with such coverage to be at a level no less than that maintained for other officers of the Company and the members of the Board.
 
(b) The Company shall indemnify Employee, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law and as set forth in the applicable organizational instruments governing the Company (including articles of incorporation, bylaws or trust instruments (as such articles, bylaws, or trust instruments may be amended, modified supplemented, or restated from time to time)), against all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, charges, and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) incurred or sustained by Employee in connection with any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which Employee may be made a party, brought directly or derivatively by any third party by reason of any act or omission by Employee as a director or officer of the Company; provided that, Employee shall be liable for (and shall not be entitled to indemnification for) any such losses incurred by reason of his gross negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of the duty of loyalty, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such claim, action, suit, or proceeding was brought shall have determined upon application that, despite such adjudication but in consideration of all the circumstances of the case, Employee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such Losses that such court shall deem proper. Employee’s rights under this Section 11 shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, any other rights to indemnification that Employee may have under the Plan, the Company’s organizational documents, applicable law, or otherwise.
 
Employee, as an Officer of the Company and a member of the Board, and as a Wind-Down Indemnified Party (as defined in the Plan), shall be entitled to indemnification as provided in Section 5.3.11 of the Plan, including rights to advancement of indemnifiable expenses.
 
The Company and Employee shall enter into an Indemnification Agreement in form and substance customary for chief executive officers of a publicly traded company.
 
10.   Governing Law; Jurisdiction.
 
(a) This Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles thereof.
 
(b) Any action to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be brought in a court of the State of California located in Los Angeles County or in a Federal court located in Los Angeles, California. The parties consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and to the service of process in any manner provided by California law. Each Party irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in such court and any claim that such suit, action, or proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and agrees that service of process in accordance with the foregoing sentences shall be deemed in every respect effective and valid personal service of process upon such Party.
 
8

11. Miscellaneous.
 
(a) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the employment of the Employee by the Company and supersedes any prior oral or written communications, agreements and understandings among the parties concerning the specific subject matter hereof, including, without limitation, the Prior Employment Agreement. There are no restrictions, agreements, promises, warranties, covenants, or undertakings between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein other than those expressly set forth herein. This Agreement may not be altered, modified, or amended except by written instrument signed by the parties hereto; provided, however, that any such alteration, modification or amendment shall require the prior approval of (a) two (2) members of the Board other than Employee, and (b) a majority of the members of the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board (as such term is described in the Trust Agreement).
 
(b) No Waiver. The failure of a Party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver of such Party’s rights or deprive such Party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.
 
(c) Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any one or more provisions shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is unenforceable in whole or in part because of the duration or scope thereof, the parties hereto agree that said court in making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and scope of such provision to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and that the Agreement in its reduced form shall be valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted by law.
 
(d) Assignment. This Agreement and all of the Employee’s rights and duties hereunder shall not be assignable or delegable by the Employee.

II. NOTICE OF PROCEEDINGS; DEFENSE OF PROCEEDINGS
 
A.          Notice of Proceedings. The Indemnitee agrees to notify the Company promptly in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder. However, the Indemnitee’s failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any liability it may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnitee’s failure to so notify the Company actually prejudices the Company with respect to said Proceeding or matter. Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Company, promptly following the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to such Proceeding or matter, other than those notices and documents separately addressed to the Company.
 
2

B.          Defense of Proceedings. The Company will be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in any Proceeding which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder of which it has notice, and the Company will be entitled to assume the defense of the Indemnified Parties therein, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided, however, that the Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of the Indemnified Parties in any Proceeding if the Indemnitee has reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnified Parties with respect to such Proceeding. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his own counsel in any such Proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of separate counsel by the Indemnitee (and the Company’s payment of the expenses of such counsel) has been authorized by the Company; (ii) there may be one or more defenses or claims available to the Indemnitee that are different from or additional to those available to the Company; (iii) Indemnitee has reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnified Parties with respect to such Proceeding or (iv) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of the Indemnitee in such Proceeding after being provided notice thereof, such counsel shall not in fact have assumed such defense or such counsel shall not be acting, in connection therewith, with reasonable diligence; it being understood that in the case of any of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) the fees and expenses of the Indemnitee’s counsel shall be advanced by the Company in accordance with this Agreement.
 
C.          Settlement of Claims. The Company shall not settle any Proceeding which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder in any manner which would impose any liability, penalty or limitation on the Indemnitee without the written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
 
III. INDEMNIFICATION
 
A.          General. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Parties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company’s Certificate of Formation, the LLC Agreement, the Employment Agreement and the Plan, if Indemnitee was or is or becomes a party to or a witness or other participant in (including participation in discovery or trial preparation), or is threatened to be made a party to or a witness or other participant in, any Proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that he is or was an officer, manager or employee of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not done by him in any such capacity, against any and all Expenses and Liabilities incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct (which gross negligence or willful misconduct, if any, must be determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction) by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding. In the event of any change after the date of this Agreement in any applicable law, statute or rule that expands the right of a Delaware limited liability company to indemnify a manager, director, officer, employee, controlling person, agent or fiduciary, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits afforded by such change. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule that narrows the right of a Delaware limited liability company to indemnify a manager, director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, such change, to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder.
 
The Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee Parties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company’s Certificate of Formation, the LLC Agreement, the Employment Agreement and the Plan, if Indemnitee was or is or becomes a party to or a witness or other participant in (including participation in discovery or trial preparation), or is threatened to be made a party to or a witness or other participant in, any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company, to procure a judgment in its favor against expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith an in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
 
3

B.    The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify the Indemnified Parties for, and shall defend and hold them harmless against, any loss, liability, damage, judgment, fine, penalty, claim, demand, settlement, cost, or expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of their respective professionals) incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Indemnified Party (which gross negligence or willful misconduct, if any, must be determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction) for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by the Indemnified Parties in connection with the acceptance, administration, exercise, and performance of their duties under the Plan or the LLC Agreement, as applicable. An act or omission taken with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court (as such term is defined in the Plan), and not inconsistent therewith, will be conclusively deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct. In addition, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties, from and against and with respect to any and all losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, claims, demands, settlements, costs, or expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of their respective professionals) arising out of or due to their actions or omissions, or consequences of such actions or omissions, with respect to the Company or the implementation or administration of the Plan if the applicable Indemnified Party acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company. The costs and expenses incurred in enforcing the right of indemnification in this paragraph B. shall be paid by the Company.
 
C.    Reviewing Party. If the Reviewing Party shall have determined that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under paragraphs A. and B. of this Article III, then (i) the Company shall not be obligated to provide any indemnification under this Article III and (ii) Indemnitee acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall not be obligated to make an advance payment of Expenses to Indemnitee pursuant to Article IV; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commences legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) and until such time, Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive advances of Expenses pursuant to Article IV. The Reviewing Party shall be selected by the Board. If there has been no determination by the Reviewing Party or if the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee substantively would not be permitted to be indemnified in whole or in part under applicable law, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any such determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, including the legal or factual bases therefor, and the Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding. Any determination by the Reviewing Party otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee.
 
For the purposes of any determination of whether any act or omission of the Indemnitee met a required standard of conduct, each act or omission of the Indemnitee shall be conclusively deemed in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company if the Indemnitee’s action or omission is based on the advice of legal counsel for the Company or the independent members of the Board or any committee thereof, or on information or records given or reports made to the Company by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company, or is taken with approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and not inconsistent therewith. The provisions of this paragraph shall not be exclusive or deemed to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement or under applicable law.
 
4

D.    Indemnification of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the Indemnitee is a party to and is successful in, on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the dismissal of a Proceeding without prejudice, in the defense of any Proceeding or investigation or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in each case which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified by the Company to the maximum extent permitted by law against all Expenses and Liabilities actually incurred by or for Indemnitee in connection therewith.
 
E.     Contribution. If the indemnification provided for above is for any reason held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to Indemnitee in respect of any Expenses or Liabilities referred to therein, then the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by Indemnitee as a result thereof (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and Indemnitee in connection with the action or inaction that resulted in such Expenses or Liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The Company and Indemnitee agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this paragraph E. were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.
 
F.     Limitations on Indemnification. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:
 
(1)          Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance Expenses to Indemnitee with respect to Proceedings initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except (i) with respect to actions or proceedings to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement, the LLC Agreement, the Employment Agreement or the Plan or any other agreement or insurance policy now or hereafter in effect, (ii) in specific cases if the Board has approved the initiation or bringing of such Proceeding, or (iii) as otherwise required under the Act, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advance expense payment or insurance recovery, as the case may be; or
 
(2)          Other Benefits. To provide indemnification to Indemnitee to the extent that payment is actually made to the Indemnitee under any insurance policy or is made on behalf of the Indemnitee by or on behalf of the Company, or to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy, the LLC Agreement, the Employment Agreement, the Plan or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder; or
 
(3)          Gross Negligence; Willful Misconduct. To indemnify or advance Expenses to Indemnitee on account of Indemnitee’s conduct which is finally adjudged to have been fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, grossly negligent or to constitute willful misconduct.
 
5

IV. ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES
 
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in Article V hereof, but subject to paragraph F.3 of Article III hereof, the Company shall advance to the Indemnitee all Expenses which are incurred by or for the Indemnitee and for which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article III hereof, provided that all of the following are satisfied: (i) the Indemnitee provides the Company with written affirmation of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the Indemnitee has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification; and (ii) the Indemnitee provides the Company with a written agreement (the “Undertaking”) to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. The Indemnitee shall be required to execute and submit the Undertaking to repay Expenses advanced in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto or in such form as may be required under applicable law as in effect at the time of execution thereof. The Undertaking shall contain the written affirmation by the Indemnitee, described above, of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification has been met. The Company shall advance such expenses within ten (10) days after its receipt of the Undertaking. The Indemnitee hereby agrees to repay any Expenses advanced hereunder if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Any advances and the undertaking to repay Expenses pursuant to this Article IV shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon.
 
V. PROCEDURES; DETERMINATION OF RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION
 
A.     Procedure for Payment. To obtain indemnification for Liabilities under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request for payment, including with such request such documentation as is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification and payment hereunder. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any indemnification payment due hereunder shall be paid by the Company no later than ten (10) days following the determination by the Reviewing Party or otherwise pursuant to this Article V that such indemnification payment is proper hereunder.
 
B.     Right to Seek Judicial Determination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, at any time sixty (60) days after a request for indemnification has been made to the Company (or upon earlier receipt of written notice that a request for indemnification has been rejected), the Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to determine whether the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, and such court shall have the exclusive authority to make such determination, unless and until the Indemnitee’s action is dismissed or otherwise terminated before such determination is made. The court, as petitioned, shall make an independent determination of whether the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, without regard to any prior determination in any other forum.
 
C.     Expenses under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any hearing or proceeding under this Article V involving the Indemnitee and against all Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any other action between the Company and the Indemnitee involving the interpretation or enforcement of the rights of the Indemnitee under this Agreement, even if it is finally determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification in whole or in part hereunder, unless a court of competent jurisdiction finds that each of the material claims and/or defenses of Indemnitee in any such hearing or proceeding was frivolous or not made in good faith.
 
VI. PRESUMPTIONS AND EFFECT OF CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS
 
A.     Burden of Proof. In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons, entity or entities making such determination shall presume that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and the Company shall have the burden of proof of overcoming that presumption.
 
6

B.     Effect of Other Proceedings. The termination of any Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law. In addition, neither the failure of the Reviewing Party to have made a determination as to whether Indemnitee has met any particular standard of conduct or had any particular belief, nor an actual determination by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee has not met such standard of conduct or did not have such belief, prior to the commencement of legal proceedings by Indemnitee to secure a judicial determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, shall be a defense to Indemnitee’s claim or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met any particular standard of conduct or did not have any particular belief. In connection with any such determination by the Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish that Indemnitee is not so entitled.
 
VII. INSURANCE
 
In the event that the Company maintains liability insurance to protect itself and any manager or officer of the Company against any expense, liability or loss, such insurance shall cover the Indemnitee to at least the same degree as each other manager and/or officer of the Company. If, at the time of the receipt by the Company of a notice of a Proceeding pursuant to paragraph A of Article II hereof, the Company has liability insurance in effect that may cover such Proceeding, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement thereof to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in each of the Company’s policies. The Company shall thereafter take all commercially reasonable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation in accordance with the terms of such policies.
 
VIII. NON-EXCLUSIVITY, SUBROGATION AND MISCELLANEOUS
 
A.     Non-Exclusivity. The rights of the Indemnitee hereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under any provision of the Act, the Plan, the LLC Agreement or the Employment Agreement, or under any agreement, resolution of the Board or otherwise. To the extent that, during the term of this Agreement, the rights of the then-existing managers and officers of the Company are more favorable to such managers or officers than the rights currently provided to the Indemnitee under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to the full benefits of those more favorable rights.
 
No amendment, alteration, rescission or replacement of this Agreement or any provision hereof that would limit in any way the benefits and protections afforded to the Indemnitee by this Agreement shall be effective as to the Indemnitee with regards to any action or inaction undertaken by the Indemnitee prior to such amendment, alteration, rescission or replacement. The indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue as to the Indemnitee for any action the Indemnitee took or did not take while serving in an indemnified capacity even though the Indemnitee may have ceased to serve in such capacity.
 
B.     Subrogation. In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all required documents and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of documents necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.
 
7

C.     Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given: (i) if delivered by hand, by courier, by nationally recognized delivery service or by telegram and receipted for by the party to whom such notice or other communication was directed at the time indicated on such receipt; (ii) if by email or facsimile at the time shown on the confirmation of such email or facsimile transmission; or (iii) if by U.S. certified or registered mail, with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed:

G.          Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto in reference to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that the parties acknowledge and agree that the LLC Agreement, the Employment Agreement and the Plan contain provisions on the subject matter of indemnification and that this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, limit the rights or obligations of the parties hereto pursuant to such instruments. Subject to the foregoing sentence, this Agreement supersedes any prior agreement entered into between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

FIRST AMENDED JOINT CHAPTER 11 PLAN OF LIQUIDATION OF WOODBRIDGE

GROUP OF COMPANIES, LLC AND ITS AFFILIATED DEBTORS

 

Upon consideration of the First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation of Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and Its Affiliated Debtors [Docket No. 2397] (annexed hereto as Exhibit A, and including all exhibits thereto, and as amended, supplemented, or modified from time to time pursuant to the terms thereof, the “Plan2) proposed by Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and its affiliated debtors and debtors in possession (collectively, the “Debtors”) in the above-captioned jointly administered chapter 11 cases (the “Cases”); and the Debtors having filed the Disclosure Statement for the First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation of Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and Its Affiliated Debtors [Docket No. 2398] (the “Disclosure Statement”); and this Bankruptcy Court having approved the Disclosure Statement as containing adequate information by order dated August 22, 2018 [Docket No. 2396] (the “Disclosure Statement Order”); and the Debtors having filed the Plan Supplement on September 24, 2018 [Docket No. 2657]; and upon the affidavits of service and publication filed reflecting compliance with the notice and solicitation requirements of the Disclosure Statement Order [Docket Nos. 2553, 2575, 2651, 2669, 2671, 2689, 2718 & 2740] (the “Notice Affidavits”); and upon the Notice of (I) Approval of Disclosure Statement, (II) Establishment of Voting Record Date, (III) Hearing on Confirmation of Plan and Procedures and Deadline for Objecting to Confirmation of Plan, and (IV) Procedures and Deadline for Voting on Plan [Docket No. 2399] (the “Confirmation Hearing Notice”); and upon the Declaration of Emily Young of Epiq Certifying the Methodology for the Tabulation of Votes on and Results of Voting With Respect to the First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation of Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and Its Affiliated Debtors [Docket No. 2836], filed with the Bankruptcy Court on October 19, 2018 (the “Voting Certification”); and upon the Declaration of Bradley D.

Kapila [Docket No. 2834] each filed with the Bankruptcy Court on October 19, 2018 (together, the “Confirmation Declarations”); and upon the Debtors’ Memorandum of Law (I) in Support of Confirmation of the First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation of Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and Its Affiliated Debtors; and (II) in Response to Filed Confirmation Objections [Docket No. 2828], filed with the Bankruptcy Court on October 19, 2018 (the “Confirmation Memorandum”); and upon the Debtors’ Motion for Approval of Certain Compromises and Settlements, Partial Substantive Consolidation, and Related Relief with Respect to the Plan [Docket No. 2721], filed with the Bankruptcy Court on October 3, 2018 (the “Plan Settlements Motion”); and any objections to the Plan having been resolved or overruled by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to this Confirmation Order; and a hearing having been held on October 24, 2018 (the “Confirmation Hearing”); and upon the evidence adduced and proffered and the arguments of counsel made at the Confirmation Hearing; and the Bankruptcy Court having reviewed all documents in connection with Confirmation and having heard all parties desiring to be heard; and upon the complete record of these Cases; and after due deliberation and consideration of all of the foregoing; and sufficient cause appearing therefor; and for the reasons set forth in the accompanying Opinion on Confirmation, the Bankruptcy Court hereby makes the following:

 

 

1 The last four digits of Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC’s federal tax identification number are 3603. The mailing address for Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC is 14140 Ventura Boulevard #302, Sherman Oaks, California 91423. Due to the large number of debtors in these cases, a complete list of the Debtors, the last four digits of their federal tax identification numbers, and their addresses is attached to the Plan as Exhibit 1.

 

2 Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Confirmation Order have the meanings ascribed to those Defined Terms in the Plan. Any term used in this Confirmation Order that is not defined in the Plan or in this Confirmation Order, but that is defined in title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1532 (the “Bankruptcy Code”), or the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”), shall have the meaning ascribed to that term in the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules, as applicable. The rules of interpretation and construction set forth in Article I of the Plan shall apply to this Confirmation Order. Among other things, those rules of interpretation and construction provide that the word “including” shall be deemed to mean “including, without limitation,”.

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:

 

A.           Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. The findings and conclusions set forth herein, together with the findings of fact and conclusions of law set forth in the record of the Confirmation Hearing and the Opinion on Confirmation,3 constitute this Bankruptcy Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 52, made applicable to these proceedings pursuant to Bankruptcy Rules 7052 and 9014. To the extent that any of the following findings of fact constitute conclusions of law, they are adopted as such. To the extent that any of the following conclusions of law constitute findings of fact, they are adopted as such.

 

B.            Jurisdiction and Venue. The Bankruptcy Court has jurisdiction over the Debtors’ Cases pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157(a) and 1334. Venue of these proceedings and the Cases is proper in this district and in this Bankruptcy Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. Confirmation of the Plan, approval of the compromises and settlements incorporated into the Plan, and authorization of the acts necessary or appropriate to implement the Plan are each core bankruptcy proceedings pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2). The Bankruptcy Court has exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether the Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and should be confirmed, and the Bankruptcy Court has the constitutional power and authority to enter a final order with respect thereto.

 

 

3 The findings of fact and conclusions of law set forth herein and announced on the record during the Confirmation Hearing shall be construed in a manner consistent with each other so as to effect the purpose of each; provided, however, that if there is any direct conflict that cannot be reconciled, then, solely to the extent of such conflict, any findings of fact or conclusions of law announced on the record at the Confirmation Hearing or in the Opinion on Confirmation shall govern and shall control and take precedence over the provisions of this Confirmation Order.
2

C.            Chapter 11 Petitions. On December 4, 2017, 279 of the Debtors commenced voluntary cases under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, and on February 9, 2018, March 9, 2018, March 23, 2018, and March 27, 2018, additional affiliated Debtors (27 in total) commenced voluntary cases under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors are proper debtors under Bankruptcy Code section 109 and are proper proponents of the Plan under Bankruptcy Code section 1121(a). The Debtors continue to operate their business and manage their property as debtors in possession pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 1107(a) and 1108. No trustee or examiner has been appointed in these Cases.

 

D.            Judicial Notice. The Bankruptcy Court takes judicial notice of the docket in these Cases maintained by the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court or its duly appointed agent, including all pleadings, notices, and other documents filed, all orders entered, and all evidence and arguments made, proffered, submitted, or adduced at the hearings held before the Bankruptcy Court during these Cases, including the hearing to consider the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement and the Confirmation Hearing.

 

E.           Plan Supplement. The Plan Supplement complies with the terms of the Plan, and the filing and notice of the Plan Supplement was appropriate and complied with the requirements of the Disclosure Statement Order, the Bankruptcy Code, and the Bankruptcy Rules, and no other or further notice is or shall be required. The Debtors are authorized to modify the Plan Supplement documents following entry of this Confirmation Order in a manner consistent with the Plan, this Confirmation Order, or applicable law.

3

F.             Notice of Transmittal, Mailing, and Publication of Materials. As is evidenced by the Voting Certification and the Notice Affidavits, the transmittal and service of the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, Ballots, Confirmation Hearing Notice, and Notice of Non-Voting Status (as defined in the Disclosure Statement Order) were adequate and sufficient under the circumstances, and all parties required to be given notice of the Confirmation Hearing (including the deadline for filing and serving objections to Confirmation of the Plan) were given due, proper, timely, and adequate notice in accordance with the Disclosure Statement Order and in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and applicable nonbankruptcy law, and such parties each had an opportunity to appear and be heard with respect thereto. No other or further notice is required. The publication of the Confirmation Hearing Notice as set forth in the Notice Affidavits complied with the Disclosure Statement Order.

 

G.           Voting. The procedures by which the Ballots for acceptance or rejection of the Plan and for making related elections were distributed and tabulated were fair, properly conducted, and complied with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, applicable nonbankruptcy law, the Plan, and the Disclosure Statement Order.

 

H.           Bankruptcy Rule 3016. In accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a), the Plan is dated and identifies the Debtors as the plan proponents. The filing of the Disclosure Statement with the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court satisfied Bankruptcy Rule 3016(b). The Plan and Disclosure Statement describe in specific and conspicuous language all acts and actions to be enjoined and identify the Persons that would be subject to injunctions. Bankruptcy Rule 3016(c) is therefore satisfied.

4

I.            Plan Compliance with the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(1)). As set forth below, the Plan complies with all of the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(1).

 

J.             Proper Classification (11 U.S.C. §§ 1122, 1123(a)(1)). The classification of Claims and Equity Interests under the Plan is proper under the Bankruptcy Code. In addition to Administrative Claims, Professional Fee Claims, Priority Tax Claims, and DIP Claims, which need not be classified, the Plan designates eight (8) different Classes of Claims and Equity Interests. The Claims or Equity Interests placed in each Class are substantially similar to other Claims or Equity Interests, as the case may be, in each such Class. Valid business, factual, and legal reasons exist for separately classifying the various Classes of Claims and Equity Interests created under the Plan, and such Classes do not unfairly discriminate between Holders of Claims and Equity Interests. Thus, the Plan satisfies Bankruptcy Code sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1).

 

K.           Specification of Unimpaired Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(2)). Article III of the Plan specifies that Class 1 (Other Secured Claims) and Class 2 (Priority Claims) are Unimpaired under the Plan. Thus, the requirement of Bankruptcy Code section 1123(a) (2) is satisfied.

 

L.           Specification of Treatment of Impaired Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(3)). Article III of the Plan designates Class 3 (Standard Note Claims), Class 4 (General Unsecured Claims), Class 5 (Unit Claims), Class 6 (Non-Debtor Loan Note Claims), Class 7 (Subordinated Claims), and Class 8 (Equity Interests) as Impaired and specifies the treatment of Claims and Equity Interests in such Classes. Thus, the requirement of Bankruptcy Code section 1123(a)(3) is satisfied.

5

M.          No Discrimination (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(4)). The Plan provides for the same treatment for each Claim or Equity Interest in each respective Class unless the Holder of a particular Claim or Equity Interest has agreed to a less favorable treatment of such Claim or Equity Interest. Thus, the requirement of Bankruptcy Code section 1123(a)(4) is satisfied.

 

N.           Implementation of the Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(5)). The Plan and the additional documents included in the Plan Supplement provide adequate and proper means for the Plan’s implementation. Thus, the requirements of Bankruptcy Code section 1123(a) (5) are satisfied.

 

O.           Non-Voting Equity Securities (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(6)). The Plan does not provide for the issuance of any non-voting equity securities of any corporation, and each of the Debtors will eventually be dissolved under the Plan. Therefore, the requirement of Bankruptcy Code section 1123(a)(6) is satisfied.

 

P.           Selection of Officers and Directors (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(7)). Section 5.3 of the Plan provides for the creation of the Wind-Down Entity and for the appointment of the Wind-Down CEO and the Wind-Down Board to serve with respect to the Wind-Down Entity, including with the authority detailed in Section 5.3.4 of the Plan and in the Wind-Down Governance Agreement. The initial Wind-Down CEO was selected by consensus of the three Committees with his compensation terms disclosed in the Plan Supplement, and any successor Wind-Down CEO will be appointed pursuant to Section 5.3.7 of the Plan. Section 5.4 of the Plan provides for the creation of the Liquidation Trust and for the appointment of the Liquidation Trustee and the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board to serve with respect to the Liquidation Trust, including with the authority detailed in Section 5.4.5 of the Plan and in the Liquidation Trust Agreement. The initial Liquidation Trustee was selected by consensus of the three Committees with his compensation terms set forth in Section 5.4.1(a) of the Plan, and any successor Liquidation Trustee will be appointed pursuant to the Liquidation Trust Agreement. All these selection, disclosure, and replacement mechanisms are consistent with the interests of the Creditors and Holders of Equity Interests and with public policy. Therefore, Bankruptcy Code section 1123(a)(7) is satisfied.

6

Q.           Additional Plan Provisions (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)). The Plan’s other provisions are appropriate, in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates, and consistent with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules, and Local Rules:

 

i.              Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(2)). The Debtors have exercised reasonable business judgment in determining to assume and assign or to reject, as the case may be, certain executory contracts and unexpired leases under the terms of the Plan and this Confirmation Order, and such assumptions and assignments, or such rejections, as applicable, are justified and appropriate in these Cases.

 

ii.            Compromises and Settlements Under and in Connection with the Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(3) & (b)(6)). All of the settlements and compromises pursuant to and in connection with the Plan comply with the requirements of Bankruptcy Code section 1123(b) and Bankruptcy Rule 9019.4 In particular, the Bankruptcy Court finds that the Plan’s comprehensive compromises and settlements are (i) in the best interest of the Debtors, the Estates, and their respective property and stakeholders; and (ii) fair, equitable, and reasonable. Such findings support granting the Plan Settlements Motion.

 

iii.         Releases, Exculpations, and Injunctions (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)). The releases, exculpations, and injunctions provided in the Plan are (i) within the jurisdiction and power of the Bankruptcy Court under 28 U.S.C. § 1334; (ii) integral elements of the transactions incorporated into the Plan and inextricably bound with the other provisions of the Plan; (iii) in exchange for good and valuable consideration provided by the Released Parties (including performance of the terms of the Plan), and a good-faith settlement and compromise of the released claims; (iv) in the best interests of the Debtors and the Estates; (v) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (vi) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; (vii) a bar to any of the Releasing Parties asserting any released claim against any of the Released Parties; and (viii) otherwise consistent with sections 105, 524, 1123, 1129, 1141, and other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and other applicable law.

 

 

4 For the avoidance of doubt, all references to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 contained in the Plan or this Confirmation Order refer only to the settlements and compromises embodied in the Plan.
7

R.            Debtors’ Compliance with the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(2)). Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(2), the Debtors have complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Bankruptcy Code sections 1122, 1123, 1124, 1125, and 1126, the Bankruptcy Rides, the Local Rules, and the Disclosure Statement Order governing notice, disclosure, and solicitation in connection with the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Plan Supplement, and all other matters considered by the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Cases.

 

S.            Plan Proposed in Good Faith and Not by Means Forbidden by Law (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(3)). The Debtors have proposed the Plan in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law, thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(3). In determining that the Plan has been proposed in good faith, the Bankruptcy Court has examined the totality of the circumstances surrounding the filing of the Cases, the Plan itself, and the process leading to its formulation. The Plan is the result of extensive, good faith, arms’ length negotiations among the Debtors and key stakeholders, including all three of the official Committees, and is supported by the Creditors and other parties in interest in the Cases. The Plan promotes the objectives and purposes of the Bankruptcy Code by orderly administering the property of the Debtors and the Estates, resolving myriad disputed intercompany and intercreditor Claims, Liens, and Causes of Action that otherwise could take years to resolve—which would delay and undoubtedly reduce the Distributions that ultimately would be available for all Creditors—and otherwise enabling equality of distribution and the speedy yet efficient disposition of assets.

8

T.            Payments for Services or Costs and Expenses (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(4)). The procedures set forth in the Plan for the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the fees, costs, and expenses to be paid in connection with the Cases, or in connection with the Plan and incident to the Cases, satisfy the objectives of, and are in compliance with, Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(4).

 

U.            Directors, Officers, and Insiders (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(5)). Section 5.2.1 of the Plan provides that, on the Effective Date, each of the Debtors’ existing directors, officers, and managers shall be terminated automatically. The initial Wind-Down CEO, Wind-Down Board, Liquidation Trustee, and Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board were selected by representatives of the key affected stakeholders, and their identities and compensation terms are set forth in the Plan or the Plan Supplement; the appointment to such offices of such individuals is consistent with the interests of the Debtors’ creditors and interest holders and with public policy. Thus, the Plan satisfies Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(5).

 

V.             No Rate Changes (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(6)). The Plan does not provide for any rate change that requires regulatory approval. Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(6) is thus not applicable.

9

W.          Best Interests of Holders of Claims and Equity Interests (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(7)). The “best interests” test under Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(7) is satisfied as to all Impaired Classes under the Plan, as each Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest in such Impaired Classes either has voted to accept the Plan or will receive or retain property of a value, as of the Effective Date of the Plan, that is not less than the amount that such Holder would receive or retain if the Debtors were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. More specifically, the liquidation analysis [Docket No. 2398, Exhibit B] filed by the Debtors, the Confirmation Declarations, and all other applicable evidence proffered or adduced at the Confirmation Hearing (i) are reasonable, persuasive, and credible; (ii) are based on reasonable and sound methodologies and assumptions; (iii) provide a reasonable estimate of the liquidation values of the Debtors upon hypothetical conversion to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; and (iv) establish that each Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest in the Impaired Classes will receive or retain, on account of such Claim or Equity Interest, property under the Plan of a value, as of the Effective Date of the Plan, that is not less than the amount that such Holder would receive or retain if the Debtors were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

X.          Acceptance by Certain Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(8)). The Holders of Claims in Class 1 and Class 2 are left Unimpaired under the Plan. The Holders of Claims in Class 3, Class 4, Class 5, and Class 6 have voted to accept the Plan in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(8) as to those Classes. However, Class 7 (Subordinated Claims) and Class 8 (Equity Interests) are deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1126(g). Accordingly, Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(8) has not been and cannot be satisfied as to those Classes. The Plan, however, is still confirmable because it satisfies the nonconsensual confirmation provisions of Bankruptcy Code section 1129(b), as set forth below.
10

Y.            Treatment of Administrative, DIP, Priority, Priority Tax, and Professional Fee Claims (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(9)). The treatment of Adnnnistrative Claims, DIP Claims, Priority Claims, Priority Tax Claims, and Professional Fee Claims pursuant to Article III and Section 11.2 of the Plan satisfies the requirements of Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(9).

Z.             Acceptance by Impaired Class (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(10)). Class 3, Class 4, Class 5, and Class 6 are each an Impaired Class of Claims that voted to accept the Plan, determined without including any acceptance of the Plan by any Insider. Therefore, the requirement of Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(10) is satisfied.

AA.          Feasibility (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(11)). The evidence provided in support of Confirmation establishes that the assets to be vested in the Wind-Down Entity and the Liquidation Trust will be sufficient to enable the Wind-Down CEO and Liquidation Trustee to perform the duties and functions outlined under the Plan and to satisfy post-Effective-Date obligations. Furthermore, reasonable, persuasive, and credible evidence proffered or adduced at or prior to the Confirmation Hearing establishes that the Plan is feasible. Finally, given that the Plan provides for the eventual dissolution of each of the Debtors and contemplates the liquidation or other final administration of all the Debtors’ property, confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the need for further financial reorganization. Thus, Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(l 1) is satisfied.

BB.          Payment of Fees (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(12)). The Plan requires that all fees payable under 28 U.S.C. § 1930 have been paid or will be paid pursuant to Section 11.3 of the Plan, thus satisfying the requirement of Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(12).
11

CC.        Miscellaneous Provisions (11 U.S.C. §§ 1129(a)(13)-(l6)). Bankruptcy Code sections 1129(a)(13)-(16) are inapplicable as the Debtors (i) do not provide “retiree benefits” as defined in Bankruptcy Code section 1114 (§ 1129(a)(13)), (ii) have no domestic support obligations (§ 1129(a)(I4)), (iii) are not individuals (§ 1129(a)(15)), and (iv) are not nonprofit corporations (§ 1129(a)(16)).

DD.        No Unfair Discrimination; Fair and Equitable Treatment (11 U.S.C. § 1129(b)). The classification and treatment of Claims and Equity Interests in Classes 7 and 8, which are deemed to have rejected the Plan, is proper pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1122, does not discriminate unfairly, and is fair and equitable pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1129(b)(1). There is no Class of Claims or Equity Interests junior to the Holders of Claims or Equity Interests in Class 7 or Class 8 that will receive or retain property under the Plan on account of their Claims or Equity Interests. Accordingly, the Plan does not violate the absolute priority rule, does not discriminate unfairly, and is fair and equitable with respect to each Class that is deemed to have rejected the Plan. Thus, the Plan satisfies the requirements of Bankruptcy Code section 1129(b) with respect to Class 7 and Class 8.

EE.         Only One Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1129(c)). The Plan is the only chapter 11 plan currently proposed in the Cases, and the requirements of Bankruptcy Code section 1129(e) are therefore satisfied.

FF.          Principal Purpose (11 U.S.C. § 1129(d)). The principal purpose of the Plan is neither the avoidance of taxes nor the avoidance of the application of section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, and no governmental unit has objected to the Confirmation of the Plan on any such grounds. Accordingly, Bankruptcy Code section 1129(d) is inapplicable.
12

GG.          Satisfaction of Confirmation Requirements. Based upon the foregoing, the Debtors have met their burden of proving the elements of Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a) & (b) by a preponderance of the evidence, the Plan satisfies all the requirements for Confirmation set forth in Bankruptcy Code section 1129, and the Plan should be confirmed.

HH.          Good Faith Solicitation (11 U.S.C. § 1125(e)). The Debtors and their Related Parties have acted in good faith within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code section 1125(e) and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules, and Disclosure Statement Order in connection with all of their respective activities relating to the solicitation of acceptances of the Plan and their participation in the activities described in Bankruptcy Code section 1125, and they are entitled to the protections afforded by Bankruptcy Code section 1125(e) and the injunction and exculpation provisions set forth in Article XI of the Plan.

II.             Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. The Debtors have exercised reasonable business judgment in determining whether to assume or reject their executory contracts and unexpired leases pursuant to Article VI of the Plan. Each assumption or rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease pursuant to Article VI of the Plan and the Schedule of Assumed Agreements, as amended, shall be legal, valid, and binding upon the Wind-Down Entity and all non-debtor parties (and their assignees or successors) to such executory contracts or unexpired leases, all to the same extent as if such assumption or rejection had been effectuated pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court entered before Confirmation under Bankruptcy Code section 365.

JJ.          Cure and Adequate Assurance. The Debtors have cured, or provided adequate assurance that the Wind-Down Entity will cure, defaults (if any) under or relating to each of the executory contracts and unexpired leases that are being assumed by the Debtors pursuant to the Plan or otherwise. In addition, the Debtors have provided adequate assurance of future performance regarding the executory contracts and unexpired leases that are being assumed by the Debtors and assigned to the Wind-Down Entity.
13

KK.          Retention of Jurisdiction. The Bankruptcy Court may and will properly retain jurisdiction and power over the matters set forth in Article X of the Plan.

LL.           Consummation in Good Faith. The Debtors, the Committees, the Wind-Down Entity, the Liquidation Trust, and their respective Related Parties will be acting in good faith if they proceed to (i) consummate the Plan and the agreements, settlements, transactions, transfers, and Distributions contemplated thereby; and (ii) take the other acts or actions authorized and directed by this Confirmation Order.

MM.        [Intentionally Omitted]

NN.          Conduct of a Ponzi Scheme. The evidence demonstrates, and the Bankruptcy Court hereby finds, that (i) beginning no later than July 2012 through December 1, 2017, Robert H. Shapiro used his web of more than 275 limited liability companies, including the Debtors, to conduct a massive Ponzi scheme raising more than $1.22 billion from over 8,400 unsuspecting investors nationwide; (ii) the Ponzi scheme involved the payment of purported returns to existing investors from funds contributed by new investors; and (iii) the Ponzi scheme was discovered no later than December 2017.

OO.          Plan Modifications. The Debtors have made certain modifications to the Plan, which modifications are incorporated in the Plan as attached hereto as Exhibit A, including to resolve confirmation objections as follows:
14


The Schedule of Excluded Parties is amended to remove Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher therefrom. For the avoidance of doubt, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher is not an Excluded Party under the Plan.


The proviso in Section 1.116 of the Plan identifying the Debtors’ Related Parties is amended to include Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher as among the specified Related Parties (and therefore within the Plan’s definitions of Exculpated Parties and Released Parties).


Section 1.46(b) of the Plan is amended to read: “that is asserted by any of the Excluded Parties or any Disputing Claimant, which are Disputed Claims in their entirety and, as such, will have no right to receive any Distributions under the Plan unless and until such Claims are affirmatively Allowed by a Final Order or are Allowed pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Plan; or”.


The proviso in Section 8.1 of the Plan is amended to read: “provided, however, that, under the Plan, all Claims, including Note Claims or Unit Claims, asserted by any of the Excluded Parties or any Disputing Claimant are Disputed Claims in their entirety and will have no right to receive any Distributions under the Plan unless and until such Claims are affirmatively Allowed by a Final Order or are Allowed pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Plan.”


Section 3.1.3 is amended by adding the following sentence at the end thereof: “Nothing in the Plan shall release or change the character of any Priority Tax Claim except for the payment in full of Allowed Priority Tax Claims as required under this Section 3.1.3.”
15


Section 5.4.3 is amended by adding the following sentence at the end thereof: “Nothing in this Section 5.4.3 or elsewhere in the Plan will prevent any defendant on any Liquidation Trust Action brought against it from asserting any Secured Claim or defense to such Liquidation Trust Action based on setoff, recoupment, or contribution if such Secured Claim or defense could have been asserted by such defendant regarding such Liquidation Trust Action prior to the occurrence of the Effective Date.”

All such modifications are incorporated by reference herein and approved. The disclosure of these modifications to the Plan on the record at the Confirmation Hearing constitutes due and sufficient notice of such modifications, complies in all respects with Section 11.6 of the Plan and Bankruptcy Code section 1127, and the Bankruptcy Court hereby finds that such modifications are non-material, not adverse to any party in interest under the Plan, and, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3019, these modifications do not require additional disclosure under Bankruptcy Code section 1125 and do not require the re-solicitation of any Class of Claims under Bankruptcy Code section 1126. The Plan as modified shall constitute the Plan submitted for Confirmation.

Based on the foregoing findings, and on the record made before the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing, and good and sufficient cause appearing therefor, it is hereby

ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED THAT:

Confirmation of the Plan

1.          The Plan, as and to the extent modified by this Confirmation Order, is APPROVED and CONFIRMED pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1129.
16

2.          Each provision of the Plan is authorized and approved and shall have the same validity, binding effect, and enforceability as every other provision of the Plan. The terms of the Plan, as previously modified and as modified by any modifications made by this Confirmation Order, are incorporated by reference into and are an integral part of this Confirmation Order. The failure specifically to describe, include, or refer to any particular article, section, part, or provision of the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or any related document in this Confirmation Order shall not diminish or impair the effectiveness of such article, section, part, or provision, it being the intent of the Bankruptcy Court that the Plan, the Plan Supplement, and all related documents be approved and confirmed in their entirety as if set forth verbatim in this Confirmation Order.

3.          Any resolutions of objections to Confirmation of the Plan or to the Plan Settlements Motion explained on the record at the Confirmation Hearing are hereby incorporated by reference. All unresolved objections, statements, joinders, comments, and reservations of rights in opposition to or inconsistent with the Plan or the Plan Settlements Motion have been fully considered by the Bankruptcy Court and are hereby DENIED and OVERRULED with prejudice on the merits and in their entirety. All withdrawn objections are deemed withdrawn with prejudice. The record of the Confirmation Hearing is hereby closed and such evidentiary record shall not be amended, modified, or supplemented.

Compromises and Settlements Under the Plan

4.          The Plan Settlements Motion is GRANTED as set forth herein. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1123(b) and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, upon the Effective Date, all settlements and compromises set forth in the Plan are approved in all respects as good faith, fair, reasonable, and equitable compromises and settlements of all Claims or Causes of Action affected thereby, as well as all other controversies and matters resolved pursuant to the Plan. Entry of this Confirmation Order constitutes approval of all such compromises and settlements pursuant to the Bankruptcy Rules, including Bankruptcy Rule 9019(a), the Bankruptcy Code, including Bankruptcy Code sections 105(a), 1123(a)(5), 1123(b)(3), and 1123(b)(6), and other applicable law.
17

5.            In order to give effect to the Plan’s comprehensive compromise and settlement,


(a)
On the Effective Date, unless held by Excluded Parties or Disputing Claimants (in which case such Claims are Disputed Claims), all Class 3 Standard Note Claims and all Class 5 Unit Claims are deemed Allowed under the Plan as set forth in the Schedule of Principal Amounts and Prepetition Distributions;


(b)
To the extent, and only to the extent, a Claim is Allowed by subparagraph (a) above, the following Liquidation Trust Actions are waived and released as to the applicable Noteholder or Unitholder (that is not a Disputing Claimant): (i) Liquidation Trust Actions to avoid or recover a Prepetition Distribution with respect to the subject Allowed Claim and (ii) Liquidation Trust Actions to avoid or recover a Debtor’s prepetition payment of consideration representing the return or repayment of the principal of any Note or any Unit (which consideration is applied as such prior to determining the Outstanding Principal Amount for the Notes or Units relevant to the applicable Allowed Claim);


(c)
In accordance with Section 5.8 of the Plan, subject to the rights of Allowed Other Secured Claims, the Fund Debtors will be substantively consolidated into Woodbridge Mortgage Investment Fund 1, LLC and the Other Debtors will be substantively consolidated into Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC;


(d)
The Holders of Allowed Claims in Class 3 (Standard Note Claims), Class 4 (General Unsecured Claims), Class 5 (Unit Claims), and Class 6 (Non-Debtor Loan Note Claims) will receive the treatment provided for such Holders under the Plan;


(e)
The Liquidation Trust will be created to most effectively and efficiently pursue the Liquidation Trust Actions for the collective benefit of all the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries (as well as to own the membership interests of the Wind-Down Entity, establish and hold the Distribution Reserves, and receive and distribute to Noteholders, Holders of General Unsecured Claims, and Unitholders holding Liquidation Trust Interests the net proceeds of the liquidation of Wind-Down Assets by the Wind-Down Entity remaining after payment of Wind-Down Expenses, Liquidation Trust Expenses, and certain other Claims, all in accordance with the Plan); and
18


(f)
Any Intercompany Claims that could be asserted by one Debtor against another Debtor will be extinguished immediately before the Effective Date with no separate recovery on account of any such Claims and any Intercompany Liens that could be asserted by one Debtor regarding any Estate Assets owned by another Debtor will be deemed released and discharged on the Effective Date; provided, however, that solely with respect to any Secured Claim of a non-debtor as to which the associated Lien would be junior to any Intercompany Lien, the otherwise released Intercompany Claim and associated Intercompany Lien will be preserved for the benefit of, and may be asserted by, the Liquidation Trust as to any Collateral that is Cash and, otherwise, the Wind-Down Entity so as to retain the relative priority and seniority of such Intercompany Claim and associated Intercompany Lien.

Classification and Treatment

6.          The Plan’s classification scheme is approved. The classifications set forth on the Ballots tendered to or returned by the Holders of Claims in connection with voting on the Plan: (a) were set forth on the Ballots solely for purposes of voting to accept or reject the Plan; (b) do not necessarily represent, and in no event shall be deemed to modify or otherwise affect, the actual classification of such Claims under the Plan for Distribution purposes; (c) may not be relied on by any Holder of a Claim as representing the actual classification of such Claim under the Plan for Distribution purposes; and (d) shall not be binding on the Debtors, the Estates, or the Liquidation Trust except for voting purposes.

Authorization to Implement the Plan

7.          On the Effective Date, the certificates of incorporation, bylaws, operating agreements, and articles of organization, as applicable, of all the Debtors shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to carry out the provisions of the Plan. The entry of this Confirmation Order shall constitute authorization for the Debtors, the Wind-Down CEO, the Liquidation Trustee, and the Remaining Debtors Manager, as applicable, to take or cause to be taken all actions (including, if applicable, Corporate Actions) necessary or appropriate to implement all provisions of, and to consummate, the Plan prior to, on, and after the Effective Date and all such actions taken or caused to be taken shall be deemed to have been authorized and approved by the Bankruptcy Court without further approval, act, or action under any applicable law, order, rule, or regulation.
19

8.          This Confirmation Order shall constitute all approvals and consents required, if any, by the laws, rules, or regulations of any state or any other governmental authority with respect to the implementation or consummation of the Plan and any documents, instruments, or agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereto, and any other acts referred to in or contemplated by the Plan or the Plan Supplement.

9.          Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1146(a), any transfers of property pursuant to the Plan or made in connection therewith shall not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, stamp act, real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, Uniform Commercial Code filing or recording fee, regulatory filing or recording fee, or other similar tax or governmental assessment to the fullest extent contemplated by section 1146(a). Upon entry of this Confirmation Order, the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents shall forgo the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and shall accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment. The Bankruptcy Court shall retain specific jurisdiction with respect to these matters.

10.          Issuance of the Liquidation Trust Interests in accordance with the Plan is approved. The Liquidation Trust is authorized and empowered, without further approval of this Court or any other Person, to take such actions and to perform such acts as may be necessary, desirable, or appropriate to implement the issuance of the Liquidation Trust Interests in accordance with the Plan and to execute and deliver all agreements, documents, securities, instruments, and certificates relating thereto.
20

 

11.     The approvals and authorizations specifically set forth in this Confirmation Order are not intended to limit the authority of the Debtors, the Wind-Down CEO, the Liquidation Trustee, and the Remaining Debtors Manager, as applicable, to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to implement, effectuate, and consummate any and all documents or transactions contemplated by the Plan or this Confirmation Order.

 

Enforceability of Plan

 

12.     Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 1123(a), 1141(a), and 1142, the Plan and all Plan-related documents (including the Liquidation Trust Agreement and the Wind-Down Governance Agreement upon their execution) shall be, and hereby are, valid, binding, and enforceable. Subject to Article IX of the Plan, upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Plan and the Plan Supplement shall be immediately effective and enforceable and deemed binding on the Debtors, all Creditors and Holders of Equity Interests, and all other Persons in accordance with their respective terms.

 

Vesting of Assets

 

13.     On the Effective Date, the Wind-Down Entity will be automatically vested with all of the Debtors’ and the Estates’ respective rights, title, and interest in and to all Wind-Down Assets. Except as specifically provided in the Plan or this Confirmation Order, the Wind-Down Assets shall automatically vest in the Wind-Down Entity free and clear of all Claims, Liens, or interests, and such vesting shall be exempt from any stamp, real estate transfer, other transfer, mortgage reporting, sales, use, or other similar tax. The Wind-Down Entity shall be the exclusive representative of the Estates appointed pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1123(b)(3)(B) regarding all Wind-Down Assets.

21

14.     On the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust will be automatically vested with all of the Debtors’ and the Estates’ respective rights, title, and interest in and to all Liquidation Trust Assets. Except as specifically provided in the Plan or this Confirmation Order, the Liquidation Trust Assets shall automatically vest in the Liquidation Trust free and clear of all Claims, Liens, or interests subject only to the Liquidation Trust Interests and the Liquidation Trust Expenses, as provided for in the Liquidation Trust Agreement, and such vesting shall be exempt from any stamp, real estate transfer, other transfer, mortgage reporting, sales, use, or other similar tax. The Liquidation Trustee shall be the exclusive trustee of the Liquidation Trust Assets for purposes of 31 U.S.C. § 3713(b) and 26 U.S.C. § 6012(b)(3), as well as the representative of the Estates appointed pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1123(b)(3) regarding all Liquidation Trust Assets. The Liquidation Trust shall hold and distribute the Liquidation Trust Assets in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Liquidation Trust Agreement.

 

15.     Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Confirmation Order, from and after the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust will retain all rights to commence, pursue, litigate, or settle, as appropriate, any and all of the Debtors’ or Estates’ Causes of Action and Causes of Action that are Contributed Claims (whether existing as of the Petition Date or thereafter arising), and all Avoidance Actions, all as Liquidation Trust Actions, in each ease in any court or other tribunal, including in an adversary proceeding Filed in the Chapter 11 Cases.

 

16.     No Person may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan or the Disclosure Statement to any Avoidance Actions, Causes of Action, or Contributed Claims against them as any indication that the Liquidation Trust will not pursue any and all available Avoidance Actions, Causes of Action, or Contributed Claims against such Person. The Debtors and the Liquidation Trust expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Avoidance Actions, Causes of Action, or Contributed Claims against any Person other than the Released Parties, in accordance with the Plan.

22

Termination of Directors and Officers

 

17.     On the Effective Date, each of the Debtors’ existing directors, officers, and managers shall be terminated automatically without the need for any Corporate Action and without the need for any corporate or limited liability company filings, and shall have no ongoing rights against or obligations to the Debtors or the Estates, including under any applicable prepetition agreements (all of which will be deemed terminated).

 

Wind Down and Dissolution of the Debtors

 

18.     Each Remaining Debtor shall continue in existence after the Effective Date as a post-Effective-Date entity for the purposes of ensuring, among other things, that Creditors will obtain the benefits of any allegedly transfer-restricted assets. Without the need for any Corporate Action and without the need for any corporate or limited liability company filings, (a) all Equity Interests of the Remaining Debtors issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Date shall be automatically cancelled and extinguished on the Effective Date and (b) as of the Effective Date, new membership interests of each Remaining Debtor, representing all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of each such Remaining Debtor, shall be issued to the Liquidation Trust, which new membership interests so issued shall be deemed to have been offered and sold to the Liquidation Trust in reliance on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act afforded by section 4(a)(2) thereof. On and after the Effective Date, each Remaining Debtor will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Liquidation Trust, and the Liquidation Trust may expend with respect to such Remaining Debtor such amounts as the Liquidation Trust determines is appropriate, in its discretion. The sole manager of each Remaining Debtor shall be the Remaining Debtors Manager. The Remaining Debtors Manager’s rights and powers with respect to operations, employment, compensation, indemnity, and exculpation as to each Remaining Debtor shall, to the greatest extent possible, be the same as its rights and powers as Liquidation Trustee in connection with the Liquidation Trust, and the Remaining Debtors Manager may take such steps as appropriate to maintain the good standing of the applicable Remaining Debtor. Until a Remaining Debtor is dissolved, all cash or property received by the Remaining Debtor, gross or net of any expenses of the Remaining Debtor incurred after the Effective Date, shall be transferred to the Liquidation Trust. Each Remaining Debtor (a) shall have the Liquidation Trust as its sole member and the Liquidation Trust shall be deemed to be admitted as a member of each Remaining Debtor on the Effective Date, (b) shall be treated as a disregarded entity for income tax purposes, (c) shall have a purpose consistent with the purpose of the Liquidation Trust as set forth in Section 5.4.4 of the Plan, and (d) shall be subject to the same limitations imposed on the Liquidation Trustee under the terms of this Plan and the Liquidation Trust Agreement.

23

19.     On the Effective Date, each of the Debtors other than the Remaining Debtors will be dissolved automatically without the need for any Corporate Action, without the need for any corporate or limited liability company filings, and without the need for any other or further actions to be taken by or on behalf of such dissolving Debtor or any other Person or any payments to be made in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Liquidation Trust may in its discretion file any certificates of cancellation as may be appropriate in connection with dissolution of any Debtors other than the Remaining Debtors. On and as of the earlier of the Closing Date and the date on which the Remaining Debtors Manager Files with the Bankruptcy Court a notice of dissolution as to a Remaining Debtor, such Remaining Debtor will be dissolved automatically without the need for any Corporate Action, without the need for any corporate or limited liability company filings, and without the need for any other or further actions to be taken by or on behalf of such dissolving Remaining Debtor or any other Person or any payments to be made in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Liquidation Trust may in its discretion file any certificates of cancellation as may be appropriate in connection with dissolution of any Remaining Debtors.

24

20.     Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 350 and Section 11.22 of the Plan, the closing of certain of the Cases is hereby authorized. Upon the Effective Date, the Cases, other than the Cases of the Remaining Debtors (Case Nos. 17-12560 (KJC) and 17-12786 (KJC)), will be deemed closed and no further fees in respect of such closed Cases will thereafter accrue or be payable to any Person. The Liquidation Trust may at any point File a motion to close the Case for either of the Remaining Debtors. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust shall submit a separate order to the Bankruptcy Court under certification of counsel, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Form Final Decree Order”), to the Bankruptcy Court to enter on the docket of each individual Debtor’s Case to close such Case effective as of the Effective Date, except for the Cases of the Remaining Debtors. The Liquidating Trust shall reserve all rights to move to reopen a closed case. The closing of the Cases, other than the Cases of the Remaining Debtors, will in no way prejudice the Liquidating Trust’s or the Wind-Down Entity’s, as applicable, rights to object or otherwise contest a proof of Claim filed against any of the Debtors or to commence or prosecute any action to which any of the Debtors may be a party, or a claimant’s rights to receive Distributions under the Plan to the extent such claimant’s Claim is ultimately Allowed, nor will the closing of such Cases otherwise alter or modify the terms of the Plan.

 

Cancellation of Equity Interests. Notes, Instruments, Certificates, and Other Documents

 

21.     As of the Effective Date, all Equity Interests shall be deemed void, cancelled, and of no further force and effect, and the obligations of the Debtors thereunder or in any way related thereto, including any obligation of the Debtors to pay any franchise or similar-type taxes on account of such Equity Interests, shall be discharged. On and after the Effective Date, Holders of Equity Interests shall not be entitled to, and shall not receive or retain any property or interest in property under the Plan on account of such Equity Interests.

25

22.     Except to the extent necessary to give effect to the treatment of any Holder of an Allowed Class 1 Claim pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Plan, any agreement, bond, certificate, indenture, note, security, warrant, or other instrument or document evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligation of the Debtors shall be deemed cancelled on the Effective Date, and all Liens, mortgages, pledges, grants, trusts, and other interests relating thereto shall be automatically cancelled, and all obligations of the Debtors thereunder or in any way related thereto shall be discharged.

 

Plan Distributions

 

23.     The Wind-Down Entity and the Liquidation Trust, as applicable, shall make all Distributions under the Plan and such Distributions shall be in accordance with the Plan and the Liquidation Trust Agreement, as applicable.

 

24.     From and after the Effective Date, other than a proof of Claim relating to an executory contract or unexpired lease that is rejected pursuant to the Plan, a proof of Claim relating to any prepetition Claim may not be Filed or amended without the prior approval of the Liquidation Trust or leave of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

Administration of the Wind-Down Entity

 

25.     The Wind-Down Governance Agreement, substantially in the form filed with the Plan Supplement, as such Plan Supplement may be amended in accordance with the Plan and this Confirmation Order, is hereby approved.

 

26.     The appointment of Frederick Chin as the initial Wind-Down CEO is hereby approved. The Wind-Down CEO shall be compensated in the manner set forth in and consistent with the Plan Supplement. The Wind-Down CEO shall have all powers, rights, duties, and protections afforded the Wind-Down CEO under the Plan, including in Section 5.3 thereof, and the Wind-Down Governance Agreement.

26

Administration of the Liquidation Trust

 

27.     The Liquidation Trust Agreement, substantially in the form filed with the Plan Supplement, as such Plan Supplement may be amended in accordance with the Plan and this Confirmation Order, is hereby approved.

 

28.     The appointment of Michael Goldberg as the Liquidation Trustee is hereby approved. The Liquidation Trustee shall be compensated in the manner set forth in and consistent with the Liquidation Trust Agreement. The Liquidation Trustee shall have all powers, rights, duties, and protections afforded the Liquidation Trustee under the Plan, including Section 5.4 thereof, and the Liquidation Trust Agreement.

  

Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

 

29.       On the Effective Date, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 365 and 1123, (a) the Debtors’ assumption of all executory contracts and unexpired leases identified on the Schedule of Assumed Agreements (as it may be amended by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date) is approved and (b) the Debtors’ assignment of all such executory contracts and unexpired leases to the Wind-Down Entity is approved. Except as to any objection that was resolved or continued at the Confirmation Hearing, this Confirmation Order shall constitute a conclusive determination regarding the amount of any cure and compensation due under the applicable executory contract or unexpired lease, as well as a conclusive finding that the Wind-Down Entity has demonstrated adequate assurance of future performance with respect to such executory contract or unexpired lease, to the extent required. Absent order of the Bankruptcy Court to the contrary, any counterparty to an executory contract or unexpired lease that failed to timely object to the proposed assumption or proposed Cure Payment is hereby deemed to have assented to such assumption or Cure Payment. Any monetary defaults under each executory contract and unexpired lease that the Debtors assume and assign, shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the Cure Payment.

27

 

30.     Assumption of any executory contract or unexpired lease and payment of the applicable Cure Payment, if any, shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Claims or defaults, 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 date the Debtors assume such executory contract or unexpired lease.

 

31.     Nothing in the Plan or this Confirmation Order, including any discharge, waivers, releases, or injunctions, shall adversely affect or prevent any counterparty to an unexpired lease or executory contract that is assumed from asserting, after the Effective Date, any claim that, as of the date of service of the Schedule of Assumed Agreements, was accrued but not yet required to be billed, or accrued after the date of service of the Schedule of Assumed Agreements, and is made in accordance with the terms of the assumed unexpired lease or executory contract.

 

32.     The Debtors shall have the right to remove an executory contract or unexpired lease from the Schedule of Assumed Agreements prior to the Effective Date. To the extent of any such modifications, the Debtors will provide notice to each counterparty to an affected executory contract or unexpired lease.

 

33.     On the Effective Date, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 365 and 1123, the Debtors’ rejection of all executory contracts and unexpired leases of the Debtors—except for (a) executory contracts and unexpired leases that have been previously assumed or rejected by the Debtors, (b) executory contracts and unexpired leases that are set forth in the Schedule of Assumed Agreements, and (c) any agreement, obligation, security interest, transaction, or similar undertaking that the Debtors believe is not executory or a lease, but that is later determined by the Bankruptcy Court to be an executory contract or unexpired lease that is subject to assumption or rejection under Bankruptcy Code section 365—is approved.

28

 

34.     Any Rejection Claim or other Claim for damages arising from the rejection under the Plan of an executory contract or unexpired lease must be Filed and served no later than the first Business Day that is at least thirty (30) calendar days after the Effective Date. Any such Rejection Claims that are not timely Filed and served will be forever disallowed, barred, and unenforceable, and Persons holding such Claims will not receive and be barred from receiving any Distributions on account of such untimely Claims.

 

Administrative Claims

 

35.     Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, all requests for payment of an Administrative Claim must be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court no later than the first Business Day that is at least thirty-five (35) calendar days after the Effective Date. The failure to File a motion requesting Allowance of an Administrative Claim on or before the Administrative Claims Bar Date, or the failure to serve such motion timely and properly, shall result in the Administrative Claim being forever barred and disallowed without further order of the Bankruptcy Court. If for any reason any such Administrative Claim is incapable of being forever barred and disallowed, then the Holder of such Claim shall in no event have recourse to any property to be distributed pursuant to the Plan. Postpetition statutory tax claims shall not be subject to any Administrative Claims Bar Date.

29

 Professional Fee Claims

 

36.     All final requests for payment of Professional Fee Claims pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 327, 328, 330, 331, 363, 503(b), or 1103 must be made by application Filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on counsel to the Liquidation Trust and counsel to the U.S. Trustee no later than forty-five (45) calendar days after the Effective Date, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

 

37.     All objections to the allowance of such Professional Fee Claims must be Filed and served on counsel to the Liquidation Trust, counsel to the U.S. Trustee, and the requesting Professional on or before the date that is twenty-one (21) calendar days after the date on which the applicable application was served (or such longer period as may be allowed by order of the Bankruptcy Court or by agreement with the requesting Professional). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing set forth herein supersedes the Bankruptcy Court’s Order Appointing Fee Examiner and Establishing Related Procedures for the Review of Fee Applications of Retained Professionals [Docket No. 525] (the Fee Examiner Appointment Order”) and the procedure put in place thereby governing the Fee Examiner’s review of Applications, as each of those terms are defined in the Fee Examiner Appointment Order.

 

38.     All Professional Fee Claims shall be paid by the Liquidation Trust to the extent approved by order of the Bankruptcy Court within five (5) Business Days after entry of such order.

 

Releases, Injunction, and Exculpation

 

39.    The following release, injunction, exculpation, discharge, and related provisions set forth in Article XI of the Plan are hereby approved and authorized in their entirety.

30

40.    Non-Discharge of the Debtors: Injunction. In accordance with Bankruptcy Code section 1141(d)(3)(A), the Plan does not discharge the Debtors. Bankruptcy Code section 1141(c) nevertheless provides, among other things, that the property dealt with by the Plan is free and clear of all Claims and Equity Interests against the Debtors. As such, no Person holding a Claim or an Equity Interest may receive any payment from, or seek recourse against, any assets that are to be distributed under the Plan other than assets required to be distributed to that Person under the Plan. As of the Effective Date, all Persons are precluded and barred from asserting against any property to be distributed under the Plan any Claims, rights, Causes of Action, liabilities, Equity Interests, or other action or remedy based on any act, omission, transaction, or other activity that occurred before the Effective Date except as expressly provided in the Plan or this Confirmation Order.

 

41.     Releases and Related Matters. On the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, each of the Releasing Parties shall be deemed to have forever released, waived, and discharged each of the Released Parties from any and all claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action, and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, whether foreseen or unforeseen, whether liquidated or unliquidated, whether fixed or contingent, whether matured or unmatured, existing or hereafter arising, at law, in equity, or otherwise, that are based in whole or in part on any act, omission, transaction, event, or other occurrence taking place on or prior to the Effective Date in any way relating to the Debtors, the conduct of the Debtors’ business, the Cases, or the Plan, except for acts or omissions that are determined in a Final Order to have constituted actual fraud or willful misconduct; provided, however, that nothing in Section 11.11 of the Plan shall release or otherwise affect any Person’s rights under the Plan or this Confirmation Order.


31

 

42.     Exculpation and Limitation of Liability. On the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, to the maximum extent permitted by law, none of the Exculpated Parties shall have or incur any liability to any Person, including to any Holder of a Claim or an Equity Interest, for any prepetition or postpetition act or omission in connection with, relating to, or arising out of the Debtors, the Cases, the formulation, negotiation, preparation, dissemination, solicitation of acceptances, implementation, confirmation, or consummation of the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created, executed, or contemplated in connection with the Plan, or the administration of the Plan or the property to be distributed under the Plan; provided, however, that nothing in Section 11.12 of the Plan shall release or otherwise affect any Person’s rights under the Plan or this Confirmation Order; and provided, further, that the exculpation provisions of Section 11.12 of the Plan shall not apply to acts or omissions constituting actual fraud or willful misconduct by such Exculpated Party as determined by a Final Order. For purposes of the foregoing, it is expressly understood that any act or omission effected with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court conclusively will be deemed not to constitute actual fraud or willful misconduct unless the approval of the Bankruptcy Court was obtained by fraud or misrepresentation, and in all respects, the Exculpated Parties shall be entitled to rely on the written advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities under, or in connection with, the Cases, the Plan, and administration thereof. This Confirmation Order shall serve as a permanent injunction against any Person seeking to enforce any Causes of Action against the Exculpated Parties that are encompassed by the exculpation provided by Section 11.12 of the Plan.

32

 

43.             Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan or this Confirmation Order to the contrary or an abstention from voting on the Plan, no provision of the Plan, or this Confirmation Order, (i) releases any non-debtor Person from any Cause of Action of the SEC; or (ii) enjoins, limits, impairs, or delays the SEC from commencing or continuing any Causes of Action, proceedings, or investigations against any non-debtor Person in any forum.

 

44.             Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan or this Confirmation Order to the contrary or an abstention from voting on the Plan, no provision of the Plan, or this Confirmation Order, (i) releases any non-debtor Person from claims of the United States related to the violation of any federal tax; or (ii) enjoins, limits, impairs, or delays the United States from commencing or continuing any actions, proceedings, or investigations against any non-debtor Person in any forum for claims related to the violation of any federal tax laws. Moreover, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or Confirmation Order, the United States’ rights, if any, to setoff and recoupment are preserved.

 

Payment of Statutory Fees

 

45.              All fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing, shall be paid by the Debtors on or before the Effective Date. All such fees that arise after the Effective Date shall be paid by the Liquidation Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) for the Remaining Debtors, quarterly fees for the quarter in which the Effective Date occurs will be calculated on the basis of all Estate Assets being distributed to the Liquidation Trust and the Wind-Down Entity on the Effective Date in the Chapter 11 Cases of the Remaining Debtors; (ii) for all other Debtors, quarterly fees for the quarter in which the Effective Date occurs will be calculated on the basis of disbursements (if any) made by such Debtors prior to the Effective Date; and (iii) quarterly fees for each quarter after the quarter in which the Effective Date occurs will be $325.00 for any Remaining Debtors through the entry of the Final Decree for any of the Remaining Debtors or the dismissal or conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases regarding the Remaining Debtors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the U.S. Trustee shall not be required to file any proofs of claim with respect to quarterly fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930.

33

Dissolution of the Committees

 

46.              Each of the Committees shall be automatically dissolved on the Effective Date and, on the Effective Date, each member of the Committees (including each Related Party thereof) and each Professional retained by any of the Committees shall be released and discharged from all rights, duties, responsibilities, and obligations arising from, or related to, the Debtors, their membership on any of the Committees, the Plan, or the Cases, except with respect to (a) any matters concerning any Professional Fee Claims held or asserted by any Professional retained by any of the Committees and (b) the right of former Noteholder Committee and Unitholder Committee members to select a successor Noteholder Committee or Unitholder Committee designee, respectively, on the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board.

 

Tax-Specific Provisions

 

47.              The Liquidation Trust shall be established for the purpose of pursuing or liquidating the Liquidation Trust Assets and making Distributions to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(d), with no objective to continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business. The administration of the Wind-Down Assets by the Wind-Down Entity in accordance with the Plan and the Wind-Down Governance Agreement is consistent with the absence of any objective to continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business.

34

 

48.              The fair market value of the Wind-Down Assets and the Liquidation Trust Assets as of the Effective Date has been determined as set forth on Exhibit D. Such fair market values shall control for all tax and financial reporting purposes with respect to the Distributions pursuant to the Plan and the value of the Wind-Down Assets and the Liquidation Trust Assets as of the Effective Date.

 

49.              Nothing in the Plan or this Confirmation Order shall constitute a declaratory judgment as to whether the proposed Liquidating Trust qualifies under 26 C.F.R.§ 301.7701-4(d).

 

Additional Provisions Regarding Recording Officers

 

50.              The Plan and this Confirmation Order are and shall be binding on and shall govern acts of all Persons, including all escrow agents, filing agents, filing officers, title agents, title companies, recorders of mortgages, recorders of fees, registrars of deeds, administrative agencies, governmental departments, secretaries of state, federal, state, and local officials, and all other Persons who may be required by operation of law, the duties of their office, or contract to accept, file, register, or otherwise record or release any documents or instruments relating to any Estate Assets (all such Persons being referred to as “Recording Officers”).

 

51.              Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, all transactions contemplated by the Plan, including the vesting of the Wind-Down Assets in the Wind-Down Entity, the vesting of the Liquidation Trust Assets in the Liquidation Trust, and the release and discharge of Intercompany Liens and other Liens under the Plan, shall be deemed fully effective and to have occurred as a matter of law without the necessity of any other or further transfer documentation, forms, documents, paperwork, or anything else, and all Recording Officers are hereby instructed and directed to facilitate, recognize, and otherwise give full force and effect to the transactions effectuated by the Plan and this federal court order. In the event that any Recording Officer refuses to give full force and effect to the transactions effectuated as a matter of law by the Plan and this Confirmation Order, the Wind-Down Entity or the Liquidation Trust may pursue any and all appropriate remedies (including sanctions) against such Person before this Bankruptcy Court. A certified copy of this Confirmation Order may be filed with the appropriate Recording Officers to evidence cancellation of any recorded Claims, Liens, and other interests against or regarding the Estate Assets recorded prior to the date of this Confirmation Order, other than Liens that specifically survive after the Effective Date pursuant to the Plan.

35

52.              Without limiting the generality of the preceding paragraph, from and after the Effective Date, subject to the supervision of the Wind-Down Board and the provisions of the Wind-Down Governance Agreement, all Recording Officers must recognize that the Wind-Down CEO has the full legal authority, right, and power to (a) sell, liquidate, transfer, assign, distribute, abandon, or otherwise dispose of the Wind-Down Assets or any part thereof or any interest therein, including through the formation on or after the Effective Date of any new or additional legal entities to be owned by the Wind-Down Entity to own and hold particular Wind-Down Assets separate and apart from any other Wind-Down Assets, upon such terms as the Wind-Down CEO determines to be necessary, appropriate, or desirable; and (b) exercise and enforce all rights and remedies regarding any loans or related interests as to which the lender was a Debtor and the underlying borrower actually is or actually was a Person that is not a Debtor, including any such rights or remedies that any Debtor or any Estate was entitled to exercise or enforce prior to the Effective Date on behalf of a Holder of a Non-Debtor Loan Note Claim, and including rights of collection, foreclosure, and all other rights and remedies arising under any promissory note, mortgage, deed of trust, or other document with such underlying borrower or under applicable law.

36

Notice of Entry of Confirmation Order and Effective Date

 

53.              Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rules 2002 and 3020(c), the Liquidation Trust is hereby authorized to serve a notice of entry of this Confirmation Order and the occurrence of the Effective Date, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Notice of Confirmation and Effective Date”) no later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date, on all Holders of Claims against or Equity Interests in the Debtors. The form of the Notice of Confirmation and Effective Date is hereby approved in all respects. The Notice of Confirmation and Effective Date shall constitute good and sufficient notice of the entry of this Confirmation Order and of the relief granted herein, and of all related deadlines under the Plan, and no other or further notice need be given of entry of this Confirmation Order, the occurrence of the Effective Date, or the related deadlines under the Plan. Notice need not be given or served to any Person for whom any prior notices sent during these Cases have been returned as undeliverable, unless the Debtors have been informed in writing by such Person of that Person’s new address.

 

Preemptive Effect

 

54.              Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 1123(a) and 1123(b) as well as general principles of federal supremacy, the provisions of this Confirmation Order, the Plan, and related documents or any amendments or modifications thereto shall apply and be enforceable notwithstanding any otherwise applicable nonbankruptcy law. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, any applicable nonbankruptcy law that would prohibit, limit, or otherwise restrict implementation of the Plan based on (a) the commencement of the Cases, (b) the appointment of the Liquidation Trustee or the Wind-Down CEO or the Remaining Debtors Manager, (c) the wind down of the Debtors, (d) the liquidation of some or all of the Liquidation Trust Assets or the Wind-Down Assets, or (e) any other act or action to be done pursuant to or contemplated by the Plan is superseded and rendered inoperative by the Plan and federal bankruptcy law.

37

Retention of Jurisdiction and Power

 

55.              Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 105(a) and 1142, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction and judicial power over all matters arising out of, or related to, these Cases and the Plan to the fullest extent permitted by law, including jurisdiction and power to take the actions listed in Section 10.1 of the Plan and to consider any motions Filed pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Plan.

 

Rules Governing Conflicts Between Documents

 

56.             The provisions of this Confirmation Order, including the findings of fact and conclusions of law set forth herein, and the provisions of the Plan are integrated with each other, nonseverable, and mutually dependent unless expressly stated by further order of the Bankruptcy Court. The provisions of the Plan, the Plan Supplement, and this Confirmation Order shall be construed in a manner consistent with each other so as to effect the purpose of each; provided, however, that if there is any direct conflict between the terms of the Plan or the Plan Supplement and the terms of this Confirmation Order that cannot be reconciled, then, solely to the extent of such conflict, (i) the provisions of this Confirmation Order shall govern and any such provision of this Confirmation Order shall be deemed a modification of the Plan and shall control and take precedence; and (ii) as to all other agreements, instruments, or documents, the provisions of the Plan shall govern and take precedence (unless otherwise expressly provided for in such agreement, instrument, or document).

38

Extension of Injunctions and Stays

 

57.              All injunctions or stays in the Cases under Bankruptcy Code sections 105 or 362 or otherwise, and extant on the Confirmation Date (excluding any injunctions or stays contained in or arising from the Plan or this Confirmation Order), shall remain in full force and effect through and inclusive of the Effective Date. All injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or this Confirmation Order shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

 

Finality and Immediate Effect of Confirmation Order

 

58.              This Confirmation Order (a) is a final order and the period in which an appeal must be filed shall commence upon the entry hereof; and (b) shall be immediately effective and enforceable upon the entry hereof.

The mailing address for Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC is 14140 Ventura Boulevard #302, Sherman Oaks, California 91423. Due to the large number of debtors in these cases, a complete list of the Debtors, the last four digits of their federal tax identification numbers, and their addresses is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

INTRODUCTION2

 

The Debtors hereby propose this Plan, which provides for the resolution of the outstanding Claims and Equity Interests asserted against the Debtors. Reference is made to the Disclosure Statement for (i) a discussion of the Debtors’ history, businesses, properties, results of operations, and financial projections; (ii) a summary and analysis of this Plan: and (iii) certain related matters, including risk factors relating to the consummation of this Plan and Distributions to be made under this Plan. The Debtors are the proponents of the Plan within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code section 1129.

 

All Holders of Claims who are entitled to vote on the Plan are encouraged to read the Plan and the Disclosure Statement in their entirety before voting to accept or reject the Plan. Subject to certain restrictions and requirements set forth in Bankruptcy Code section 1127, Bankruptcy Rule 3019, and Sections 11.6 and 11.14 of the Plan, the Debtors reserve the right to alter, amend, modify, revoke, or withdraw the Plan prior to its substantial consummation.

 

No solicitation materials, other than the Disclosure Statement and related materials transmitted therewith, have been approved for use in soliciting acceptances and rejections of this Plan. Nothing in the Plan should be construed as constituting a solicitation of acceptances of the Plan unless and until the Disclosure Statement has been approved and distributed to Holders of Claims to the extent required by Bankruptcy Code section 1125.

 

ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE PLAN ARE ENCOURAGED TO READ CAREFULLY THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT (INCLUDING ALL EXHIBITS AND SCHEDULES THERETO) AND THE PLAN, EACH IN ITS ENTIRETY, BEFORE VOTING TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN.

3.2         Class 1: Other Secured Claims.

 

Class 1 consists of all Other Secured Claims. Class 1 is Unimpaired under the Plan.

 

The legal, equitable, and contractual rights of Holders of Allowed Class 1 Claims are unaltered by the Plan, and, notwithstanding substantive consolidation of the Debtors and vesting of the Wind-Down Assets in the Wind-Down Entity, the Liens of the Holders of Allowed Class 1 Claims will continue to attach to their respective Collateral, provided that all such Claims shall remain subject to any and all defenses, counterclaims, and setoff or recoupment rights with respect thereto. Unless the Wind-Down Entity and the Holder of an Allowed Class 1 Claim agree to other treatment, on or as soon as is reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, each Holder of an Allowed Class 1 Claim shall receive, at the Wind-Down Entity’s option: (i) Cash from the Wind-Down Entity in the Allowed amount of such Holder’s Allowed Class 1 Claim; or (ii) the return by the Wind-Down Entity of the Collateral securing such Allowed Class 1 Claim, without representation or warranty by any Person (and without recourse against any Person regarding such Other Secured Claim); or (iii) (A) the cure of any default, other than a default of the kind specified in Bankruptcy Code section 365(b)(2), that Bankruptcy Code section 1124(2) requires to be cured, with respect to such Holder’s Allowed Class 1 Claim, without recognition of any default rate of interest or similar penalty or charge, and upon such cure, no default shall exist; (B) the reinstatement of the maturity of such Allowed Class 1 Claim as the maturity existed before any default, without recognition of any default rate of interest or similar penalty or charge; and (C) retention of its unaltered legal, equitable, and contractual rights with respect to such Allowed Class 1 Claim, including through the retention of any associated Lien on the Collateral securing such Allowed Class 1 Claim.

 

The Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction and power to determine the amount necessary to satisfy any Allowed Class 1 Claim for which treatment is elected under clause (i) or clause (iii) of the immediately foregoing paragraph. With respect to any Allowed Class 1 Claim for which treatment is elected under clause (i), any Holder of such Allowed Class 1 Claim shall release (and by the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to release) all Liens against any Estate Assets. Notwithstanding anything else in the Plan, the Holders of Allowed Class 1 Claims will have no right to receive any Distribution from, or otherwise share in, any of the Liquidation Trust Assets.

21

3.3          Class 2: Priority Claims.

 

Class 2 consists of all Priority Claims. Class 2 is Unimpaired under the Plan.

 

On, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the later of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the date on which a Priority Claim becomes payable pursuant to and as specified by an order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Holder of such Allowed Priority Claim shall receive, in full satisfaction, settlement, and release of and in exchange for such Allowed Priority Claim, either (a) Cash from the Liquidation Trust equal to the unpaid portion of such Allowed Priority Claim or (b) such other less favorable treatment from the Liquidation Trust to which such Holder and the Liquidation Trust shall have agreed upon in writing.

 

3.4          Class 3: Standard Note Claims.

 

Class 3 consists of all Standard Note Claims, as well as those Non-Debtor Loan Note Claims that are reclassified in Class 3 pursuant to Section 3.7 of the Plan. Class 3 is Impaired under the Plan.

 

In full satisfaction, settlement, and release of and in exchange for such Claims, the Holders of Allowed Class 3 Claims will receive on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, one (1) Class A Liquidation Trust Interest for each $75.00 of Net Note Claims held by the applicable Noteholder with respect to its Allowed Note Claims (any resulting fractional Class A Liquidation Trust Interests will be rounded to the nearest hundredth of such Liquidation Trust Interest with five thousandths thereof rounded up to the next hundredth). As set forth more fully in Section 5.4.10 of the Plan, subsequent Distributions of Cash on account of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests will be made by the Liquidation Trust in accordance with the Liquidation Trust Interests Waterfall.

 

The treatment of the Standard Note Claims under the Plan is not intended to and will not reduce, impair, satisfy, limit, or otherwise affect any rights that any Noteholder may have against any Person that is not a Released Party (including those rights that may be included in the Contributed Claims and contributed to the Liquidation Trust by making the Ballot election described below).

 

Each Holder of a Standard Note Claim may agree, by electing on its Ballot, to contribute its Contributed Claims to the Liquidation Trust. By electing such option on its Ballot, the Noteholder agrees that, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date and the formation of the Liquidation Trust, it will be deemed, without further action, (i) to have contributed its Contributed Claims to the Liquidation Trust and (ii) to have agreed to execute any documents reasonably requested to memorialize such contribution. The relative share of Liquidation Trust recoveries for any so electing Noteholder in respect of its Class 3 Claim will be enhanced by having the amount that otherwise would be its Net Note Claim increased by the Contributing Claimants Enhancement Multiplier. Noteholders also may choose to make such election because aggregating all Contributed Claims and similar Liquidation Trust Actions may enable the pursuit and settlement of such litigation claims in a more efficient and effective manner.

22

3.5          Class 4: General Unsecured Claims.

 

Class 4 consists of all General Unsecured Claims. Class 4 is Impaired under the Plan.

 

In fall satisfaction, settlement, and release of and in exchange for such Claims, the Holders of Allowed Class 4 Claims will receive on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, one (1) Class A Liquidation Trust Interest for each $75.00 of Allowed General Unsecured Claims held by the applicable Creditor (any resulting fractional Class A Liquidation Trust Interests will be rounded to the nearest hundredth of such Liquidation Trust Interest with five thousandths thereof rounded up to the next hundredth). As set forth more fully in Section 5.4.10 of the Plan, subsequent Distributions of Cash on account of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests will be made by the Liquidation Trust in accordance with the Liquidation Trust Interests Waterfall.

 

3.6         Class 5: Unit Claims.

 

Class 5 consists of all Unit Claims. Class 5 is Impaired under the Plan.

 

In full satisfaction, settlement, and release of and in exchange for such Claims, the Holders of Allowed Unit Claims will receive on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, 0.725 Class A Liquidation Trust Interests and 0.275 Class B Liquidation Trust Interests for each $75.00 of Net Unit Claims held by the applicable Unitholder with respect to its Allowed Unit Claims (any resulting fractional Class A Liquidation Trust Interests or Class B Liquidation Trust Interests will be rounded to the nearest hundredth of such Liquidation Trust Interest with five thousandths thereof rounded up to the next hundredth). As set forth more fully in Section 5.4.10 of the Plan, subsequent Distributions of Cash on account of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests and the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests will be made by the Liquidation Trust in accordance with the Liquidation Trust Interests Waterfall.

 

The treatment of the Unit Claims under the Plan is not intended to and will not reduce, impair, satisfy, limit, or otherwise affect any rights that any Unitholder may have against any Person that is not a Released Party (including those rights that may be included in the Contributed Claims and contributed to the Liquidation Trust by making the Ballot election described below).

 

Each Holder of a Unit Claim may agree, by electing on its Ballot, to contribute its Contributed Claims to the Liquidation Trust. By electing such option on its Ballot, the Unitholder agrees that, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date and the formation of the Liquidation Trust, it will be deemed, without further action, (i) to have contributed its Contributed Claims to the Liquidation Trust and (ii) to have agreed to execute any documents reasonably requested to memorialize such contribution. The relative share of Liquidation Trust recoveries for any so electing Unitholder will be enhanced by having the amount that otherwise would be its Net Unit Claim increased by the Contributing Claimants Enhancement Multiplier. Unitholders also may choose to make such election because aggregating all Contributed Claims and similar Liquidation Trust Actions may enable the pursuit and settlement of such litigation claims in a more efficient and effective manner.

23

3.7         Class 6: Non-Debtor Loan Note Claims.

 

Class 6 consists of all Non-Debtor Loan Note Claims. Class 6 is Impaired under the Plan.

 

The Debtors dispute that any Non-Debtor Loan Note Claim is actually secured by a perfected Lien, and no Class 6 Claim will be Allowed in any respect under the Plan. Instead, the Liquidation Trust may litigate against any Disputing Claimant holding a Non-Debtor Loan Note Claim (i) any disputes about the secured or unsecured status, amount, and priority of such Non-Debtor Loan Note Claim; (ii) any Liquidation Trust Actions that may exist against such Noteholder; and (iii) any other matters pertaining to such Noteholder’s rights vis-à-vis the Debtors or the Estates. In order to settle and avoid such potential litigation, each Class 6 Ballot will provide an opportunity for the applicable Noteholder to affirmatively consent to reclassification of its Claim as a Class 3 Claim, whereupon (a) such Claim will be treated as if such Claim had always been part of Class 3 and based on the applicable amounts in the Schedule of Principal Amounts and Prepetition Distributions, to which amounts the applicable Noteholder will have agreed and be bound; and (b) the applicable Noteholder will have agreed to release (and by the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to release) all asserted Liens against any Estate Assets.

 

If the Bankruptcy Court determines in a Final Order that any given Holder of a Class 6 Claim holds a valid Secured Claim, then in full satisfaction, settlement, and release of and in exchange for such Claim, such Holder will receive on or as soon as is reasonably practicable after the date of such detennination Cash from the Liquidation Trust in the amount of such Holder’s Allowed Class 6 Claim to the extent such Allowed Claim is a Secured Claim, with post-Confirmation interest thereon at the applicable contract rate, and any Holder of such Allowed Class 6 Claim shall release (and by the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to release) all Liens against any Estate Assets.

 

If the Bankruptcy Court determines in a Final Order that any given Holder of a Class 6 Claim does not hold a valid Secured Claim, then in full satisfaction, settlement, and release of and in exchange for such Claim, such Claim shall automatically be reclassified as a Class 3 Claim and such Claim will be treated as if such Claim had always been part of Class 3 and based on the Outstanding Principal Amounts and Prepetition Distributions that are determined by the Bankruptcy Court regarding such Noteholder, including, if applicable, after taking into account any Liquidation Trust Actions that the Liquidation Trust may pursue against the particular Disputing Claimant (as to which all rights of the Liquidation Trust are reserved).

 

If the Liquidation Trust and any given Holder of a Class 6 Claim reach an agreement regarding the treatment of such Holder’s Claim that eliminates the need for the Bankruptcy Court to make the determination contemplated by the preceding two paragraphs, then in full satisfaction, settlement, and release of and in exchange for such Claim, such Claim shall receive the treatment that is agreed between the Liquidation Trust and such Holder.

 

The treatment of the Non-Debtor Loan Note Claims under the Plan is not intended to and will not reduce, impair, satisfy, limit, or otherwise affect any rights that any Noteholder may have against any Person that is not a Released Party (including those rights that may be included in the Contributed Claims and contributed to the Liquidation Trust by making the Ballot election described below).

24

Each Holder of a Non-Debtor Loan Note Claim may agree, by electing on its Ballot, to contribute its Contributed Claims to the Liquidation Trust By electing such option on its Ballot, the Noteholder agrees that, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date and the formation of the Liquidation Trust, it will be deemed, without further action, (i) to have contributed its Contributed Claims to the Liquidation Trust and (ii) to have agreed to execute any documents reasonably requested to memorialize such contribution. The relative share of Liquidation Trust recoveries for any so electing Noteholder, to the extent that its Claim is classified and treated as a Class 3 Claim, will be enhanced by having the amount that otherwise would be its Net Note Claim increased by the Contributing Claimants Enhancement Multiplier. Noteholders also may choose to make such election because aggregating all Contributed Claims and similar Liquidation Trust Actions may enable the pursuit and settlement of such litigation claims in a more efficient and effective manner.

 

3.8          Class 7: Subordinated Claims.

 

Class 7 consists of all Subordinated Claims. Class 7 is Impaired under the Plan.

 

The Holders of Allowed Subordinated Claims will retain a residual right to receive Cash that remains in the Liquidation Trust after the final administration of all Liquidation Trust Assets and the complete satisfaction of all senior payment rights within the Liquidation Trust Interests Waterfall. The Debtors have determined not to solicit the votes of the Holders of any Class 7 Claims, and such Holders shall be deemed to have rejected the Plan and, therefore, such Holders are not entitled to vote on the Plan.

 

3.9          Class 8: Equity Interests.

 

Class 8 consists of all Equity Interests. Class 8 is Impaired under the Plan.

 

As of the Effective Date, all Equity Interests shall be deemed void, cancelled, and of no further force and effect. On and after the Effective Date, Holders of Equity Interests shall not be entitled to, and shall not receive or retain any property or interest in property under the Plan on account of such Equity Interests. Class 8 is deemed to have rejected the Plan and, therefore, Holders of Equity Interests are not entitled to vote on the Plan.

 

310       Special Provisions Regarding Insured Claims.

 

(a)     Any Allowed General Unsecured Claim with respect to an Insured Claim shall be limited to the Uninsured Portion of such Claim, provided such Claims have been timely Filed by the applicable Claims Bar Date.

 

(b)    If there is insurance purchased by or otherwise applicable to the Debtors, any Person with rights against or under the applicable insurance policy, including the Wind-Down Entity, the Liquidation Trust, and Holders of Insured Claims, may pursue such rights.

 

(c)    Nothing in this Section 3.10 shall constitute a waiver of any Causes of Action the Debtors, the Estates, the Wind-Down Entity, or the Liquidation Trust may hold against any Person, including the Debtors’ insurance carriers; and nothing in this Section 3.10 is intended to, shall, or shall be deemed to preclude any Holder of an Insured Claim from seeking or obtaining a distribution or oilier recovery from any insurer of the Debtors in addition to (but not in duplication of) any Distribution such Holder may receive under the Plan; provided, however, that the Debtors, the Wind-Down Entity, and the Liquidation Trust do not waive, and expressly reserve their rights to assert that any insurance coverage is property of the Estates to which they are entitled.

25

(d)   The Plan shall not expand the scope of, or alter in any other way, the rights and obligations of the Debtors’ insurers under their policies, and the Debtors’ insurers shall retain any and all defenses to coverage that such insurers may have, including the right to contest or litigate with any Person the existence, primacy, or scope of available coverage under any allegedly applicable policy. The Plan shall not operate as a waiver of any other Claims the Debtors’ insurers have asserted or may assert in any proof of claim or of any objections or defenses to any such Claims.

 

3.11       Comprehensive Settlement of Claims and Controversies.

 

3.11.1     Generally. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 1123(a)(5), 1123(b)(3), and 1123(b)(6), as well as Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the Distributions and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all claims and controversies relating to the rights that a Holder of a Claim or an Equity Interest may have against any Debtor with respect to any Claim, Equity Interest, or any Distribution on account thereof as well as of all potential Intercompany Claims. Intercompany Liens, and Causes of Action against any Debtor, including the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee Action. The entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, as of the Effective Date, of the compromise or settlement of all such claims or controversies and the Bankruptcy Court’s finding that all such compromises or settlements are (i) in the best interest of the Debtors, the Estates, and their respective property and stakeholders; and (ii) fair, equitable, and reasonable. This comprehensive compromise and settlement is a critical component of the Plan and is designed to provide a resolution of myriad disputed intercompany and intercreditor Claims, Liens, and Causes of Action that otherwise could take years to resolve, which would delay and undoubtedly reduce the Distributions that ultimately would be available for all Creditors.

 

3.11.2     Implementing Settlement Elements. Pursuant to the comprehensive compromise and settlement negotiated by the Debtors and the Committees, the Plan effectuates, among other things, the following:

 

(a)     On the Effective Date, unless held by Excluded Parties or Disputing Claimants (in which case such Claims are Disputed Claims), all Class 3 Standard Note Claims and all Class 5 Unit Claims are deemed Allowed under the Plan as set forth in the Schedule of Principal Amounts and Prepetition Distributions;

 

(b)     To the extent, and only to the extent, a Claim is Allowed by subparagraph (a) above, the following Liquidation Trust Actions are waived and released as to the applicable Noteholder or Unitholder (that is not a Disputing Claimant): (i) Liquidation Trust Actions to avoid or recover a Prepetition Distribution with respect to the subject Allowed Claim and (ii) Liquidation Trust Actions to avoid or recover a Debtor’s prepetition payment of consideration representing the return or repayment of the principal of any Note or any Unit (which consideration is applied as such prior to determining the Outstanding Principal Amount for the Notes or Units relevant to the applicable Allowed Claim);

26

(c)     In accordance with Section 5.8 of the Plan, subject to the rights of Allowed Other Secured Claims, the Fund Debtors will be substantively consolidated into Woodbridge Mortgage Investment Fund 1, LLC and the Other Debtors will be substantively consolidated into Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC;

 

(d)    The Holders of Allowed Claims in Class 3 (Standard Note Claims), Class 4 (General Unsecured Claims), Class 5 (Unit Claims), and Class 6 (Non-Debtor Loan Note Claims) will receive the treatment provided for such Holders under the Plan;

 

(e)      The Liquidation Trust will be created to most effectively and efficiently pursue the Liquidation Trust Actions for the collective benefit of all the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries (as well as to own the membership interests of the Wind-Down Entity, establish and hold the Distribution Reserves, and receive and distribute to Noteholders, Holders of General Unsecured Claims, and Unitholders holding Liquidation Trust Interests the net proceeds of the liquidation of Wind-Down Assets by the Wind-Down Entity remaining after payment of Wind-Down Expenses, Liquidation Trust Expenses, and certain other Claims, all in accordance with the Plan);

 

(f)      Findings will be sought in the Confirmation Order that (i) beginning no later than July 2012 through December 1, 2017, Robert H. Shapiro used his web of more than 275 limited liability companies, including the Debtors, to conduct a massive Ponzi scheme raising more than $1.22 billion from over 8,400 unsuspecting investors nationwide; (ii) the Ponzi scheme involved the payment of purported returns to existing investors from funds contributed by new investors; and (iii) the Ponzi scheme was discovered in December 2017; and

 

(g)     Any Intercompany Claims that could be asserted by one Debtor against another Debtor will be extinguished immediately before the Effective Date with no separate recovery on account of any such Claims and any Intercompany Liens that could be asserted by one Debtor regarding any Estate Assets owned by another Debtor will be deemed released and discharged on the Effective Date; provided, however, that solely with respect to any Secured Claim of a non-debtor as to which the associated Lien would be junior to any Intercompany Lien, the otherwise released Intercompany Claim and associated Intercompany Lien will be preserved for the benefit of, and may be asserted by, the Liquidation Trust as to any Collateral that is Cash and, otherwise, the Wind-Down Entity so as to retain the relative priority and seniority of such Intercompany Claim and associated Intercompany Lien.

To the extent the Liquidation Trust indemnifies, defends, and holds harmless any Wind-Down Indemnified Parties as provided above, the legal fees and related costs incurred by counsel to the Liquidation Trust in monitoring or participating in the defense of such claims giving rise to the right of indemnification shall be paid as Liquidation Trust Expenses. The costs and expenses incurred in enforcing the right of indemnification in this Section 5.3.11 shall be paid by the Wind-Down Entity or Liquidation Trust, as applicable.
33

5.3.12  Insurance. The Wind-Down Entity shall be authorized, but not required, to obtain any insurance coverages deemed to be reasonably necessary, as a Wind-Down Expense and after taking into account any insurance that may have separately been obtained by the Liquidation Trust, for itself and its respective agents, including coverage with respect to the liabilities, duties, and obligations of the Wind-Down Board and the Wind-Down CEO, which insurance coverage may, at the sole discretion of the Wind-Down Board, be extended for a reasonable period after the termination of the Wind-Down Governance Agreement.

34

5.4.2           Creation and Governance of the Liquidation Trust. On the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trustee shall execute the Liquidation Trust Agreement and shall take any other steps necessary to establish the Liquidation Trust in accordance with the Plan and the beneficial interests therein. For federal income tax purposes, the transfer of the assets to the Liquidation Trust will be treated as a sale or other disposition of assets (except for the assets transferred to the Disputed Ownership Fund as provided in Section 7.10 of the Plan) to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries in exchange for their claims in the Chapter 11 Cases. Any income or loss from the transfer of assets to the Liquidation Trust shall flow through to the ultimate taxpaying member of each Debtor who will be responsible to pay the tax liability, if any. For federal income tax purposes, the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries shall be treated as the grantors of the Liquidation Trust and deemed to be the owners of the assets of the Liquidation Trust. The transfer of the Liquidation Trust Assets to the Liquidation Trust shall be deemed a transfer to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries by the Debtors, followed by a deemed transfer by such Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries to the Liquidation Trust. The Debtors, the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries, and the Liquidation Trust will consistently report the valuation of the assets transferred to the Liquidation Trust. Such consistent valuations and revised reporting will be used for all federal income tax purposes. Income deductions, gain, or loss from the Liquidation Trust shall be reported to the beneficiaries of the Liquidation Trust in conjunction with the filing of the Liquidation Trust’s income tax returns. Each Liquidation Trust Beneficiary shall report income, deductions, gain, or loss on such Liquidation Trust Beneficiary’s income tax returns. The Liquidation Trust shall be governed by the Liquidation Trust Agreement and administered by the Liquidation Trustee. The powers, rights, and responsibilities of the Liquidation Trustee shall be specified in the Liquidation Trust Agreement. After an objection to a Disputed Claim is resolved or a Contingent Claim or Unliquidated Claim has been determined in whole or in part by a Final Order or by agreement, the Liquidation Trust Interests and/or Cash held in the Disputed Ownership Fund shall be transferred as described in Section 7.11 of the Plan.

5.4.3          Vesting of Liquidation Trust Assets. On the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust will be automatically vested with all of the Debtors’ and the Estates’ respective rights, title, and interest in and to all Liquidation Trust Assets. Except as specifically provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, the Liquidation Trust Assets shall automatically vest in the Liquidation Trust free and clear of all Claims, Liens, or interests subject only to the Liquidation Trust Interests and the Liquidation Trust Expenses, as provided for in the Liquidation Trust Agreement, and such vesting shall be exempt from any stamp, real estate transfer, other transfer, mortgage reporting, sales, use, or other similar tax. The Liquidation Trustee shall be the exclusive trustee of the Liquidation Trust Assets for purposes of 31 U.S.C. § 3713(b) and 26 U.S.C. § 6012(b)(3), as well as the representative of the Estates appointed pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1123(b)(3) regarding all Liquidation Trust Assets. The Liquidation Trust shall hold and distribute the Liquidation Trust Assets in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Liquidation Trust Agreement.

5.4.4          Purpose of the Liquidation Trust. The Liquidation Trust shall be established for the purpose of pursuing or liquidating the Liquidation Trust Assets and making Distributions to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(d), with no objective to continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business.
35

5.4.5      Authority. Subject to the supervision of the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board, the Liquidation Trustee shall have the authority and right on behalf of the Debtors and the Estates and without the need for Bankruptcy Court approval (in each case, unless otherwise provided in the Plan) to carry out and implement all applicable provisions of the Plan including to:

(a)          review, reconcile, compromise, settle, or object to Claims and resolve such objections as set forth in the Plan, free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules;

(b)          calculate and make Distributions and calculate and establish reserves under and in accordance with the Plan;

(c)          retain, compensate, and employ professionals and other Persons to represent the Liquidation Trustee with respect to and in connection with its rights and responsibilities;

(d)          establish, maintain, and administer documents and accounts of the Debtors as appropriate, which shall be segregated to the extent appropriate in accordance with the Plan;

(e)          maintain, conserve, collect, settle, and protect the Liquidation Trust Assets (subject to the limitations described herein);

(f)          sell, liquidate, transfer, assign, distribute, abandon, or otherwise dispose of the Liquidation Trust Assets or any part thereof or interest therein upon such terms as the Liquidation Trustee determines to be necessary, appropriate, or desirable; provided, however, that the Liquidation Trustee shall not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the Liquidation Trust’s membership interests in the Wind-Down Entity without further approval of the Bankruptcy Court;

(g)         negotiate, incur, and pay the Liquidation Trust Expenses;

(h)         prepare and file any and all informational returns, reports, statements, returns, and other documents or disclosures relating to the Debtors that are required under the Plan, by any governmental unit, or by applicable law;

(i)          compile and maintain the official claims register, including for purposes of making initial and subsequent Distributions under the Plan;

(j)          take such actions as are necessary or appropriate to wind-down and dissolve the Remaining Debtors;

(k)         comply with the Plan, exercise the Liquidation Trustee’s rights, and perform the Liquidation Trustee’s obligations; and

(l)          exercise such other powers as deemed by the Liquidation Trustee to be necessary and proper to implement the Plan.

To the extent necessary to give full effect to its administrative rights and duties under the Plan, the Liquidation Trustee shall be deemed to be vested with all rights, powers, privileges, and authorities of (i) an appropriate corporate or limited liability company officer or manager of each of the Debtors under any applicable nonbankruptcy law and (ii) a “trustee” of each of the Debtors under Bankruptcy Code sections 704 and 1106. The Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board will have all rights and powers of a corporate board appointed under Delaware law.
36

 
5.4.6    Limitation of Liability. The Liquidation Trustee shall enjoy all of the rights, powers, immunities, and privileges applicable to a Bankruptcy Code chapter 7 trustee with respect to limitations of liability. The Liquidation Trustee may, in connection with the performance of its functions, in its sole and absolute discretion, consult with its attorneys, accountants, advisors, and agents, and shall not be liable for any act taken, or omitted to be taken, or suggested to be done in accordance with advice or opinions rendered by such Persons, regardless of whether such advice or opinions were in writing. Notwithstanding such authority, the Liquidation Trustee shall be under no obligation to consult with any such attorneys, accountants, advisors, or agents, and its determination not to do so shall not result in the imposition of liability on the Liquidation Trustee unless such determination is based on willful misconduct, gross negligence, or fraud. Persons dealing with the Liquidation Trustee shall look only to the Liquidation Trust Assets to satisfy any liability incurred by the Liquidation Trustee to such Person in carrying out the terms of the Plan or the Liquidation Trust Agreement, and the Liquidation Trustee shall have no personal obligation to satisfy such liability.
 
5.4.7      Indemnification. The Wind-Down Entity and the Liquidation Trust shall indemnify the Liquidation Trust Indemnified Parties for, and shall defend and hold them harmless against, any loss, liability, damage, judgment, fine, penalty, claim, demand, settlement, cost, or expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of their respective professionals) incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Liquidation Trust Indemnified Parties (which gross negligence or willful misconduct, if any, must be determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction) for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by the Liquidation Trust Indemnified Parties in connection with the acceptance, administration, exercise, and performance of their duties under the Plan or the Liquidation Trust Agreement, as applicable. An act or omission taken with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and not inconsistent therewith, will be conclusively deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct. In addition, the Wind-Down Entity and the Liquidation Trust shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Liquidation Trust Indemnified Parties, from and against and with respect to any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees arising out of or due to their actions or omissions, or consequences of such actions or omissions, with respect to the Liquidation Trust, the Remaining Debtors, or the implementation or administration of the Plan if the Liquidation Trust Indemnified Party acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Liquidation Trust or the Remaining Debtors. To the extent the Wind-Down Entity or the Liquidation Trust indemnifies, defends, and holds harmless any Liquidation Trust Indemnified Parties as provided above, the legal fees and related costs incurred by counsel to the Liquidation Trustee or the Remaining Debtors Manager in monitoring or participating in the defense of such claims giving rise to the right of indemnification shall be paid as Liquidation Trust Expenses. The costs and expenses incurred in enforcing the right of indemnification in this Section 5.4.7 shall be paid by the Wind-Down Entity or the Liquidation Trust, as applicable.

5.4.8      Insurance. The Liquidation Trustee shall be authorized, but not required, to obtain any insurance coverages deemed to be reasonably necessary, at the Liquidation Trust’s sole expense, for itself, the Remaining Debtors Manager, and their respective agents, including coverage with respect to the liabilities, duties, and obligations of the Liquidation Trustee and the Remaining Debtors Manager, which insurance coverage may, at the sole discretion of the Liquidation Trustee, be extended for a reasonable period after the termination of the Liquidation Trust.
37

5.4.9     Tax Reporting.

(a)         The Liquidation Trust shall timely file tax returns for the Liquidation Trust treating the Liquidation Trust as a grantor trust pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.671-4(a).

(b)         The Liquidation Trust shall be responsible for timely payment of all taxes (if any) imposed on and payable by the Liquidation Trust, the Remaining Debtors, or any Liquidation Trust Assets.

(c)        The Liquidation Trust shall distribute such tax-related notices, beneficiary statements, and information returns, as applicable, to the applicable Holders of Allowed Claims as are required by applicable law or that the Liquidation Trustee determines are otherwise necessary or desirable.

(d)         The Liquidation Trust is authorized to file a request for expedited determination under Bankruptcy Code section 505(b) for any tax returns filed with respect to the Debtors.

5.4.10   Distributions to Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries.
 
(a)          The Liquidation Trust will make an initial Distribution of Available Cash from the Initial Distribution Fund to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries pursuant to the Liquidation Trust Interests Waterfall, with such initial Distribution targeted to occur before December 31, 2018.
 
(b)         The Liquidation Trust, in the Liquidation Trustee’s discretion, may make periodic Distributions of additional Cash to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries at any time following the Effective Date, provided that such Distributions are otherwise permitted under, and not inconsistent with, the Liquidation Trust Interests Waterfall, the other terms of the Plan, the Liquidation Trust Agreement, and applicable law.
 
(c)         No later than (i) the first Business Day that is at least 180 calendar days after the Effective Date and (ii) the last Business Day of each subsequent 180-calendar-day period after the Effective Date until the Closing Date, the Liquidation Trustee shall calculate the Distributions that could potentially be made to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries based on the amount of then-available Available Cash and, based on such calculation, promptly thereafter may make Distributions, if any, of the amount so determined.
 
5.4.11   Cash Investments. The Liquidation Trustee may invest Cash of the Liquidation Trust, including any earnings thereon or proceeds therefrom, any Cash realized from the liquidation of the Liquidation Trust Assets, or any Cash that is remitted to the Liquidation Trust from the Wind-Down Entity, which investments, for the avoidance of doubt, will not be required to comply with Bankruptcy Code section 345(b); provided, however, that such investments must be investments that are permitted to be made by a “liquidating trust” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(d), as reflected therein, or under applicable guidelines, rulings, or other controlling authorities.
38

5.4.12  Registration and Transfer of the Liquidation Trust Interests.
 
(a)          The record holders of the Liquidation Trust Interests shall be recorded and set forth in a registry maintained by, or at the direction of, the Liquidation Trustee expressly for such purpose. Such obligation may be satisfied by the Liquidation Trust’s retention of an institutional transfer agent for the maintenance of such registry, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, the Liquidation Trust may, in connection with any Exchange Act Registration with respect to the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests, in its discretion cause the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests to be issued in book entry form.

(b)         Upon their issuance as of the Effective Date, and thereafter until the effectiveness of an Exchange Act Registration of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests, the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests will be subject to restrictions on transfer under the Liquidation Trust Agreement, which restrictions shall prohibit the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests from being certificated or transferable except by operation of law or by will or the laws of descent and distribution, in each case following written notice to the Liquidation Trust. Upon the effectiveness of an Exchange Act Registration of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests, such transfer restrictions under the Liquidation Trust Agreement shall terminate and the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests may be transferable by the Holders thereof to the extent otherwise permissible under applicable law. The Liquidation Trust shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause an Exchange Act Registration of the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests to become effective, and for the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests to be quoted with an OTC ticker symbol, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, but in no event shall the Liquidation Trust file an Exchange Act registration statement any later than may be required under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c)          Upon their issuance as of the Effective Date, and thereafter until (i) the effectiveness of an Exchange Act Registration of the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests or (ii) the good faith determination by the Liquidation Trustee, in its discretion, that termination of the transfer restrictions under the Liquidation Trust Agreement would not require the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests to be registered under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests will be subject to restrictions on transfer under the Liquidation Trust Agreement, which restrictions shall prohibit the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests from being certificated or transferable except by operation of law or by will or the laws of descent and distribution, in each case following written notice to the Liquidation Trust. Upon (i) the effectiveness of an Exchange Act Registration of the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests or (ii) the good faith determination by the Liquidation Trustee, in its discretion, that termination of the transfer restrictions under the Liquidation Trust Agreement would not require the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests to be registered under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, such transfer restrictions under the Liquidation Trust Agreement shall terminate and the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests may be transferable by the Holders thereof to the extent otherwise permissible under applicable law; provided, however, that the Liquidation Trust shall not be under any obligation (and does not currently intend) to make any effort to cause the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests to be registered under the Exchange Act or otherwise to facilitate the trading of, or the development of any trading market for, the Class B Liquidation Trust Interests.

5.4.13 Exemption. To the extent the Liquidation Trust Interests are deemed to be “securities,” the issuance of such interests under the Plan are exempt, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1145, from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state and local laws requiring registration of securities.
39

5.4.14 Contribution of Contributed Claims. On the Effective Date, all Contributed Claims will be irrevocably contributed to the Liquidation Trust and shall thereafter be Liquidation Trust Actions for all purposes. No Person may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, the Liquidation Trust Agreement, or the Disclosure Statement to any Contributed Claims against such Person as any indication that the Liquidation Trust will not pursue any and all available Contributed Claims against such Person. The objection to the Allowance of any Claims will not in any way limit the ability or the right of the Liquidation Trust to assert, commence, or prosecute any Contributed Claims. Nothing contained in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, the Liquidation Trust Agreement, or the Disclosure Statement will be deemed to be a waiver, release, or relinquishment of any Contributed Claims that the Contributing Claimants had immediately prior to the Effective Date. The Liquidation Trust shall have, retain, reserve, and be entitled to assert all Contributed Claims fully as if the Contributed Claims had not been contributed to the Liquidation Trust in accordance with the Plan and the Liquidation Trust Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) the Contributed Claims shall not include the rights of any of the Contributing Claimants to receive the Distributions, if any, to which they are entitled under the Plan; (b) the Contributed Claims shall not include any Causes of Action against any of the Released Parties; and (c) in the exercise of its reasonable discretion and in accordance with the Liquidation Trust Agreement, the Liquidation Trust shall not be obligated to pursue all or any given Contributed Claims.
 
5.4.15 Pursuit and Resolution of Liquidation Trust Actions. The Liquidation Trust, as a successor in interest to the Debtors, the Estates, and the Contributing Claimants, may, and will have the exclusive right power, and interest on behalf of itself, the Debtors, the Estates, and the Contributing Claimants to institute, commence, file, pursue, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, waive, dismiss, or withdraw any and all Liquidation Trust Actions without any further order of the Bankruptcy Court, except as otherwise provided in the Liquidation Trust Agreement. From and after the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust, in accordance with Bankruptcy Code section 1123(b)(3), shall serve as a representative of the Estates with respect to any and all Liquidation Trust Actions that were Estate Assets and shall retain and possess the right to institute, commence, file, pursue, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, waive, dismiss, or withdraw, as appropriate, any and all Liquidation Trust Actions in any court or other tribunal.

5.4.16 Termination of the Liquidation Trust. The Liquidation Trustee and the Liquidation Trust shall be discharged or terminated, as the case may be, at such time as: (a) the Liquidation Trustee determines that the pursuit of additional Liquidation Trust Actions is not likely to yield sufficient additional proceeds to justify further pursuit of such Liquidation Trust Actions and (b) all Distributions required to be made by the Liquidation Trust to the Holders of Allowed Claims and to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries under the Plan and the Liquidation Trust Agreement have been made, but in no event shall the Liquidation Trust be terminated later than five (5) years from the Effective Date unless the Bankruptcy Court, upon motion made within the six-month period before such fifth anniversary (and, in the event of further extension, by order of the Bankruptcy Court, upon motion made at least six (6) months before the end of the preceding extension), determines that a fixed period extension (not to exceed three (3) years, together with any prior extensions, unless a favorable letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that any further extension would not adversely affect the status of the Liquidation Trust as a liquidating trust for federal income tax purposes) is necessary to facilitate or complete the recovery on, and liquidation of, the Liquidation Trust Assets. Upon termination of the Liquidation Trust, any remaining Liquidation Trust Assets that exceed the amounts required to be paid under the Plan may be transferred by the Liquidation Trustee to the American Bankruptcy Institute Endowment Fund.
40

5.4.17 Control Provision. To the extent there is any inconsistency between the Plan as it relates to the Liquidation Trust and the Liquidation Trust Agreement, the Plan shall control.

5.5         Preservation of Privileges and Defenses. The actions taken by the Debtors, the Wind-Down Entity, the Liquidation Trust, the Remaining Debtors, or any of their respective Related Parties in connection with the Plan shall not be (or be deemed to be) a waiver of any privilege or defense of the Debtors, the Wind-Down Entity, the Liquidation Trust, or the Remaining Debtors, as applicable, including any attorney-client privilege or work-product doctrine. Notwithstanding any Debtors providing any privileged information related to any Liquidation Trust Actions to the Liquidation Trustee, the Liquidation Trust, the Wind-Down CEO, the Wind-Down Entity, the Remaining Debtors Manager, the Remaining Debtors, or any Person associated with any of the foregoing, such privileged information shall be without waiver in recognition of the joint, common, or successor interest in prosecuting the Liquidation Trust Actions and shall remain privileged. The Wind-Down Entity and the Liquidation Trust each shall retain the right to waive its own privileges. Only the Liquidation Trustee shall have the right to waive the attorney-client privilege, work-product doctrine, or other protections as to the Debtors, the Remaining Debtors, and the Liquidation Trust

5.6        Preservation of Rights of Action.
 
5.6.1 Maintenance of Avoidance Actions and Causes of Action. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, from and after the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust will retain all rights to institute, commence, file, pursue, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, waive, dismiss, or withdraw, as appropriate, any and all of the Debtors’ or Estates’ Causes of Action and Causes of Action that are Contributed Claims (whether existing as of the Petition Date or thereafter arising), and all Avoidance Actions, all as Liquidation Trust Actions, in each case in any court or other tribunal, including in an adversary proceeding Filed in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Liquidation Trust, as a successor in interest to the Debtors, the Estates, and the Contributing Claimants, may, and will have the exclusive right, power, and interest on behalf of itself, the Debtors, the Estates, and the Contributing Claimants to, enforce, sue on, settle, compromise, transfer, or assign (or decline to do any of the foregoing) any or all of the Liquidation Trust Actions without notice to or approval from the Bankruptcy Court. In accordance with the Plan, and pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 363 and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, from and after the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust may compromise and settle Liquidation Trust Actions.
41

5.6.2 Preservation of All Liquidation Trust Actions Not Expressly Settled or Released. The failure to specifically identify in the Disclosure Statement or the Plan any potential or existing Avoidance Actions or Causes of Action as a Liquidation Trust Action is not intended to and shall not limit the rights of the Liquidation Trust to pursue any such Avoidance Actions or Causes of Action. Unless a Liquidation Trust Action is expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or any Final Order (including the Confirmation Order), the Debtors expressly reserve such Liquidation Trust Action for later resolution by the Liquidation Trust (including any Avoidance Actions or Causes of Action not specifically identified or of which the Debtors may presently be unaware or that may arise or exist by reason of additional facts or circumstances unknown to the Debtors at this time or facts or circumstances that may change or be different from those the Debtors now believe to exist). As such, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, waiver, estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise), or laches will apply to any such Avoidance Actions or Causes of Action upon or after Confirmation of the Plan based on the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, or the Confirmation Order, except when such Avoidance Actions or Causes of Action have been expressly released. In addition, the right to pursue or adopt any claims alleged in any lawsuit in which any Debtor, the Liquidation Trust, or the Wind-Down Entity is a plaintiff, defendant, or an interested parry is fully reserved as against any Person that is not a Released Party, including the plaintiffs or co-defendants in such lawsuits.

5.7        Cancellation of Instruments. Except to the extent necessary to give effect to the treatment of any Holder of an Allowed Class 1 Claim pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Plan and except with respect to any executory contracts and unexpired leases that are assumed and assigned to the Wind-Down Entity under the Plan or otherwise assumed and assigned pursuant to a Final Order, any agreement, bond, certificate, contract, indenture, lease, note, security, warrant, or other instrument or document evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligation of the Debtors shall be deemed cancelled on the Effective Date, and all Liens, mortgages, pledges, grants, trusts, and other interests relating thereto shall be automatically cancelled, and all obligations of the Debtors thereunder or in any way related thereto shall be discharged.

5.8          Substantive Consolidation.

(a)          Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the approval, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 105(a), 541, 1123, and 1129, of the substantive consolidation of the Debtors in the manner set forth in Section 3.11.2(c) of the Plan. Notwithstanding such substantive consolidation, however, fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930 shall be due and payable by each individual Debtor through the Effective Date.

(b)          The substantive consolidation effected pursuant to the Plan shall not affect, without limitation, (i) the Debtors’, the Wind-Down Entity’s, or the Liquidation Trust’s defenses to any Claim or Cause of Action, including the ability to assert any counterclaim; (ii) the Debtors’, the Wind-Down Entity’s, or the Liquidation Trust’s setoff or recoupment rights; (iii) requirements for any third party to establish mutuality prior to substantive consolidation in order to assert a right of setoff against the Debtors, the Wind-Down Entity, or the Liquidation Trust; or (iv) distributions to the Debtors, the Estates, the Wind-Down Entity, or the Liquidation Trust out of any insurance policies or proceeds of such policies.

(c)          The Disclosure Statement and the Plan shall be deemed to be a motion requesting that the Bankruptcy Court approve the substantive consolidation contemplated by the Plan. Unless an objection to the proposed substantive consolidation is made in writing by any Creditor purportedly affected by such substantive consolidation on or before the deadline to object to confirmation of the Plan, or such other date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court, the substantive consolidation contemplated by the Plan may be approved by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing. In the event any such objections are timely filed, a hearing with respect thereto shall be scheduled by the Bankruptcy Court, which hearing may, but need not, be the Confirmation Hearing.
42

(d)          If the Bankruptcy Court determines that substantive consolidation of any given Debtors is not appropriate, then the Debtors may request that the Bankruptcy Court otherwise confirm the Plan and approve the treatment of and Distributions to the different Classes under the Plan on an adjusted, Debtor-by-Debtor basis. Furthermore, the Debtors reserve their rights (i) to seek confirmation of the Plan without implementing substantive consolidation of any given Debtor, and, in the Debtors’ reasonable discretion after consultation with each of the Committees, to request that the Bankruptcy Court approve the treatment of and Distributions to any given Class under the Plan on an adjusted, Debtor-by-Debtor basis; and (ii) after consultation with each of the Committees, to seek to substantively consolidate all Debtors into Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC if all Impaired Classes entitled to vote on the Plan vote to accept the Plan.

ARTICLE VI

EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

6.1          Assumption of Certain Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

6.1.1 Assumption of Agreements.

On the Effective Date, the Debtors shall assume all executory contracts and unexpired leases that are listed on the Schedule of Assumed Agreements and shall assign such contracts and leases to the Wind-Down Entity.

The Debtors reserve the right to amend the Schedule of Assumed Agreements at any time prior to the Effective Date, in the Debtors’ reasonable discretion after consultation with each of the Committees, (i) to delete any executory contract or unexpired lease and provide for its rejection under the Plan or otherwise, or (ii) to add any executory contract or unexpired lease and provide for its assumption and assignment under the Plan. The Debtors will provide notice of any amendment to the Schedule of Assumed Agreements to the party or parries to those agreements affected by the amendment.

Unless otherwise specified on the Schedule of Assumed Agreements, each executory contract and unexpired lease listed or to be listed therein 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 also listed on the Schedule of Assumed Agreements.

The Confirmation Order will constitute a Bankruptcy Court order approving the assumption and assignment, on the Effective Date, of all executory contracts and unexpired leases identified on the Schedule of Assumed Agreements.
43

6.1.2          Cure Payments.

Any amount that must be paid under Bankruptcy Code section 365(b)(1) to cure a default under and compensate the non-debtor party to an executory contract or unexpired lease to be assumed under the Plan is identified as the “Cure Payment” on the Schedule of Assumed Agreements. Unless the parties mutually agree to a different date, such payment shall be made in Cash within ten (10) Business Days following the later of: (i) the Effective Date and (ii) entry of a Final Order resolving any disputes regarding (A) the amount of any Cure Payment, (B) the ability of the Wind-Down Entity to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code section 365 with respect to a contract or lease to be assumed, to the extent required, or (C) any other matter pertaining to assumption and assignment.

Pending the Bankruptcy Court’s ruling on any such dispute, the executory contract or unexpired lease at issue shall be deemed assumed by the Debtors and assigned to the Wind-Down Entity, unless otherwise agreed by the parties or ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

6.1.3          Objections to Assumption/Cure Payment Amounts.

Any Person that is a party to an executory contract or unexpired lease that will be assumed and assigned under the Plan and that objects to such assumption or assignment (including the proposed Cure Payment) must File with the Bankruptcy Court and serve on parties entitled to notice a written statement and, if applicable, a supporting declaration stating the basis for its objection. This statement and, if applicable, declaration must be Filed and served on or before the deadline established by the Disclosure Statement Order. Any Person that fails to timely File and serve such a statement and, if applicable, a declaration shall be deemed to waive any and all objections to the proposed assumption and assignment (including the proposed Cure Payment) of its contract or lease.

In the absence of a timely objection by a Person that is a party to an executory contract or unexpired lease, the Confirmation Order shall constitute a conclusive determination regarding the amount of any cure and compensation due under the applicable executory contract or unexpired lease, as well as a conclusive finding that the Wind-Down Entity has demonstrated adequate assurance of future performance with respect to such executory contract or unexpired lease, to the extent required.
 
6.1.4          Resolution of Claims Relating to Assumed Contracts and Leases. Payment of the Cure Payment established under the Plan, by the Confirmation Order, or by any other order of the Bankruptcy Court, with respect to an assumed and assigned executory contract or unexpired lease, shall be deemed to satisfy, in full, any prepetition or postpetition arrearage or other Claim (including any Claim asserted in a Filed proof of claim or listed on the Schedules) with respect to such contract or lease (irrespective of whether the Cure Payment is less than the amount set forth in such proof of claim or the Schedules). Upon the tendering of the Cure Payment, any such Filed or Scheduled Claim shall be disallowed with prejudice, without further order of the Bankruptcy Court or action by any Person.
44

6.2         Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

6.2.1 Rejected Agreements. On the Effective Date all executory contracts and unexpired leases of the Debtors shall be rejected except for (i) executory contracts and unexpired leases that have been previously assumed or rejected by the Debtors, (ii) executory contracts and unexpired leases that are set forth in the Schedule of Assumed Agreements, and (iii) any agreement obligation security interest, transaction, or similar undertaking that the Debtors believe is not executory or a lease, but that is later determined by the Bankruptcy Court to be an executory contract or unexpired lease that is subject to assumption or rejection under Bankruptcy Code section 365. For the avoidance of doubt, executory contracts and unexpired leases that have been previously assumed or assumed and assigned pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court shall not be affected by the Plan. The Confirmation Order will constitute a Bankruptcy Court order approving the rejection, on the Effective Date, of the executory contracts and unexpired leases to be rejected under the Plan.

6.2.2 Rejection Claims Bar Date. Any Rejection Claim or other Claim for damages arising from the rejection under the Plan of an executory contract or unexpired lease must be Filed and served no later than the Rejection Claims Bar Date. Any such Rejection Claims that are not timely Filed and served will be forever disallowed, barred, and unenforceable, and Persons holding such Claims will not receive and be barred from receiving any Distributions on account of such untimely Claims. If one or more Rejection Claims are timely Filed pursuant to the Plan, the Liquidation Trust may object to any Rejection Claim on or prior to the Claim Objection Deadline. For the avoidance of doubt, the Rejection Claims Bar Date established by the Plan does not alter any rejection claims bar date established by a prior order of the Bankruptcy Court with respect to any executory contract or unexpired leases that was previously rejected in these Chapter 11 Cases.

ARTICLE VII

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

7.1          Timing of Distributions for Allowed Claims. Except as otherwise provided herein or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, all Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims as of the applicable Distribution Date shall be made on or as soon as practicable after the applicable Distribution Date; provided, however, that the Liquidation Trustee, in its discretion, may defer Distributions to a given Holder of Liquidation Trust Interests (other than die final Distribution) if the amount available for Distribution to such Holder is not at least $250. Distributions on account of Claims that first become Allowed Claims after the applicable Distribution Date shall be made pursuant to Section 8.4 of the Plan and on the day selected by the Liquidation Trustee. Distributions made as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date or such other date set forth herein shall be deemed to have been made on such date.
45

 
7.2          Calculating Distributions and Related Matters. The Liquidation Trust shall undertake in its reasonable discretion to make in accordance with the Plan all calculations of Available Cash, Net Note Claims, Net Unit Claims, and of other amounts for or relating to Distributions for Holders of Allowed Claims to be made from the Liquidation Trust or the Wind-Down Entity or for reserves for Holders of Contingent Claims, Disputed Claims, and Unliquidated Claims to be established by the Liquidation Trust, and may establish and holdback from Distributions reasonable reserves for other contingencies. When calculating Distributions (and amounts to hold in Distribution Reserves) with respect to Unit Claims and Note Claims that are to be treated as Class 3 Claims under the Plan, the Outstanding Principal Amounts and Prepetition Distributions to be utilized by the Liquidation Trust shall be as set forth in the Schedule of Principal Amounts and Prepetition Distributions or as determined pursuant to the following section.

7.3          Application of the Schedule of Principal Amounts and Prepetition Distributions. For any Noteholder or Unitholder that is not a Disputing Claimant, all Distributions and reserves shall be made or established based on the applicable amounts in the Schedule of Principal Amounts and Prepetition Distributions. For any Unitholder that is a Disputing Claimant or any Noteholder that is a Disputing Claimant holding Note Claims that are to be treated as Class 3 Claims under the Plan, in connection with a calculation by the Liquidation Trust for a Distribution or to establish reserves, unless otherwise provided in a Bankruptcy Court order, all calculations with respect to such Disputing Claimant shall be made based on the aggregate claim amounts asserted by the Disputing Claimant in the applicable proof of claim or, if no proof of claim was Filed by the Disputing Claimant, reflected in the Schedules, or, for Unliquidated Claims, as estimated in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidation Trust, and all such Liquidation Trust Interests and Cash shall be held in a Distribution Reserve unless and until (i) the Liquidation Trust and the particular Disputing Claimant agree regarding the Outstanding Principal Amounts and Prepetition Distributions to utilize or (ii) a Final Order establishes such Outstanding Principal Amounts and Prepetition Distributions, including, if applicable, after taking into account any Liquidation Trust Actions that the Liquidation Trust may pursue against the particular Disputing Claimant (as to which all rights of the Liquidation Trust are reserved).

7.4          Interest and Other Amounts Regarding Claims. Except to the extent provided (i) in Bankruptcy Code section 506(b) and Allowed by a Final Order or otherwise agreed, (ii) in the Plan, or (iii) in the Confirmation Order, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims, and no Holder of an Allowed Claim shall be entitled to interest, penalties, fees, or late charges accruing or chargeable on any Claim from and after the Petition Date.

7.5          Distributions by Liquidation Trustee or Wind-Down CEO as Disbursing Agent. The Liquidation Trustee or Wind-Down CEO shall serve as the disbursing agent under the Plan with respect to Distributions required pursuant to the Plan to be paid by, respectively, the Liquidation Trust or the Wind-Down Entity. The Liquidation Trustee and Wind-Down CEO shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of any duties as disbursing agent.

46

7.6          Means of Cash Payment. Cash payments under the Plan shall be made, at the option and in the sole discretion of the Liquidation Trustee, by (i) checks drawn on or (ii) wire transfer, electronic funds transfer, or ACH from a domestic bank. Cash payments to foreign Creditors may be made, at the option and in the sole discretion of the Liquidation Trustee by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction. Cash payments made pursuant to the Plan in the form of checks shall be null and void if not cashed within 180 calendar days of the date of the issuance thereof. Requests for reissuance of any check within 180 calendar days of the date of the issuance thereof shall be made directly to the Liquidation Trustee.

7.7          Form of Currency for Distributions. All Distributions under the Plan shall be made in U.S. Dollars. Where a Claim has been denominated in foreign currency on a proof of claim, the Allowed amount of such Claim shall be calculated in U.S. Dollars based upon me currency conversion rate in place as of the Petition Date and in accordance with Bankruptcy Code section 502(b).

7.8          Fractional Distributions. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no payment of fractional cents shall be made pursuant to the Plan. Whenever any payment of a fraction of a cent under the Plan would otherwise be required, the actual Distribution made shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole penny (up or down), with half cents or more being rounded up and fractions less than half of a cent being rounded down.

7.9          De Minimis Distributions. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Liquidation Trust and the Wind-Down Entity shall not be required to distribute, and shall not distribute, Cash or other property to the Holder of any Allowed Claim if the amount of Cash or other property to be distributed on account of such Claim on any given Distribution Date is less than $10.00, and such amount shall be distributed to other Creditors on such Distribution Date in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Any Holder of an Allowed Claim on account of which the amount of Cash or other property to be distributed on any given Distribution Date is less than $10.00 shall be forever barred from asserting any Claim with respect to such eliminated Distribution against any Estate Assets.

7.10         No Distributions With Respect to Certain Claims. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no Distributions or other consideration of any kind shall be made on account of any Contingent Claim, Disputed Claim, or Unliquidated Claim unless and until such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, and then only to the extent that such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim and as provided under the Plan for such Allowed Claim. Nonetheless, in undertaking the calculations concerning Allowed Claims under the Plan, including the determination of Distributions due to the Holders of Allowed Claims, each Contingent Claim, Disputed Claim, or Unliquidated Claim shall be treated as if it were an Allowed Claim (which, for Unliquidated Claims, shall mean they shall be treated as if Allowed in such amounts as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidation Trust), except that if the Bankruptcy Court estimates the likely portion of such a Claim to be Allowed or authorized or the Bankruptcy Court or the Holder of such Claim and the Liquidation Trustee otherwise determine the amount or number that would constitute a sufficient reserve for such a Claim, such amount or number as determined by the Bankruptcy Court or by agreement of the Holder of such Claim and the Liquidation Trustee shall be used with respect to such Claim. Distributions due in respect of a Contingent Claim, Disputed Claim, or Unliquidated Claim shall be held in reserve by the Liquidation Trust in one or more Distribution Reserves. The Liquidation Trust will elect to treat any Distribution Reserve as a “Disputed Ownership Fund,” pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.468B-9(c)(2)(ii). As outlined in this election, Creditors holding such Claims are not treated as transferors of the money or property transferred to the “Disputed Ownership Fund.” For federal income tax purposes, a “Disputed Ownership Fund” is treated as the owner of all assets that it holds. A “Disputed Ownership Fund” is treated as a C corporation for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code. A “Disputed Ownership Fund” must file all required income and information tax returns and make all tax payments.
47

7.11           Distributions and Transfers Upon Resolution of Contingent Claims. Disputed Claims, or Unliquidated Claims. After an objection to a Disputed Claim is resolved or a Contingent Claim or Unliquidated Claim has been determined in whole or in part by a Final Order or by agreement, an amount of Liquidation Trust Interests and/or Cash held in the Disputed Ownership Fund corresponding to the amount of any resulting Allowed Claim (and/or any applicable Net Note Claim or Net Unit Claim with respect thereto) shall be transferred, net of any tax payable by the Disputed Ownership Fund with respect to the transfer, in a taxable transaction to the Holder of the formerly Contingent Claim, Disputed Claim, or Unliquidated Claim. Upon each such resolution of a Claim against the Disputed Ownership Fund and such transfer with respect to any resulting Allowed Claim, (i) any remaining Liquidation Trust Interests in the Disputed Ownership Fund that had been held with respect to such formerly Contingent Claim, Disputed Claim, or Unliquidated Claim prior to its resolution shall be cancelled; and (ii) any remaining Cash in the Disputed Ownership Fund that had been held with respect to such formerly Contingent Claim, Disputed Claim, or Unliquidated Claim prior to its resolution shall be transferred, net of any tax payable by the Disputed Ownership Fund with respect to such transfers, for use as follows, provided that such Cash transfers shall be treated as a taxable transfer by the Disputed Ownership Fund and to the recipients of such Cash. Such remaining Cash may be utilized for payment, allocation, or reserve in accordance with the Plan for (a) unpaid or unutilized amounts for either Wind-Down Expenses or Liquidation Trust Funding or (b) any post-Confirmation reserve requirements of the Wind-Down Entity in connection with the Plan, any agreements, or any Bankruptcy Court orders. To the extent any such remaining Cash is not so utilized, it shall become Available Cash for distribution to the Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests (including each Holder of Liquidation Trust Interests to the extent it obtains an Allowed Claim as a result of resolution of a formerly Contingent Claim, Disputed Claim, or Unliquidated Claim) in a manner reasonably allocated by the Liquidation Trust so that all Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests will receive Cash in proportion to their Liquidation Trust Interests, net of any tax payable by the Disputed Ownership Fund with respect to the respective transfers.
 
7.12          Delivery of Distributions. Distributions in respect of Liquidation Trust Interests shall be made to Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests as of the record date set for such Distribution. Distributions to Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests or Allowed Claims that have not been converted to Liquidation Trust Interests shall be made (a) at the addresses set forth in the proofs of claim Filed by such Holders, (b) at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if no proof of claim has been Filed, or (c) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Claims Agent or the Liquidation Trustee. If any Holder’s Distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further Distributions to such Holder shall be made unless and until the Liquidation Trustee is notified of such Holder’s then-current address. The responsibility to provide the Claims Agent or the Liquidation Trustee with a current address of a Holder of Liquidation Trust Interests or Claims shall always be the responsibility of such Holder. Amounts in respect of undeliverable Distributions made by the Liquidation Trustee shall be held in trust on behalf of the Holder of the Liquidation Trust Interest or Claim to which they are payable by the Liquidation Trustee until the earlier of the date that such undeliverable Distributions are claimed by such Holder and 180 calendar days after me date the undeliverable Distributions were made.

48

7.13          Application of Distribution Record Date & Other Transfer Restrictions. At the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the claims registers for all Claims shall be closed, and there shall be no further changes in the record holders of any Claims. Except as provided herein, the Liquidation Trust, the Wind-Down Entity, and each of their respective Related Parties shall have no obligation to recognize any putative transfer of Claims occurring after the Distribution Record Date and shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal for all purposes hereunder with only those record holders stated on the claims registers as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date irrespective of the number of Distributions to be made under the Plan to such Persons or the date of such Distributions. In addition, the Liquidation Trust and each of its Related Parties shall have no obligation to recognize any putative transfer of Notes or Units occurring at any time prior to the Effective Date to which the Debtors did not expressly consent and shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal for all purposes hereunder with only the Holder of particular Notes or Units as reflected on the Debtors’ books and records for purposes of effecting Distributions of Liquidation Trust Interests. Nothing in this Section 7.13 is intended to or will impair or limit (i) the transferability of any Liquidation Trust Interests once such Liquidation Trust Interests have been Distributed to the record holders of Allowed Note Claims, Allowed General Unsecured Claims, and Allowed Unit Claims or (ii) the right of Holders at the record dates established from time to time regarding Liquidation Trust Interests to receive all Distributions in respect of such Liquidation Trust Interests when any Distributions are made.
 
7.14          Withholding, Payment, and Reporting Requirements Regarding Distributions. All Distributions under the Plan shall, to the extent applicable, comply with all tax withholding, payment, and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, provincial, local, or foreign taxing authority, and all Distributions shall be subject to any such withholding, payment, and reporting requirements. The Liquidation Trust shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding, payment, and reporting requirements, including, to the extent such information is not already available to the Liquidation Trust, requiring each Holder of a Liquidation Trust Interest or Claim to provide an executed current Form W-9, Form W-8, or similar tax form as a prerequisite to receiving a Distribution. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, (a) each Holder of a Liquidation Trust Interest or an Allowed Claim that is to receive a Distribution pursuant to the Plan shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any governmental unit, including income, withholding, and other tax obligations, on account of such Distribution, and including, in the case of any Holder of a Disputed Claim that has become an Allowed Claim, any tax obligation that would be imposed on the Liquidation Trust in connection with such Distribution; and (b) no Distribution shall be made to or on behalf of such Holder pursuant to the Plan unless and until such Holder has made arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Liquidation Trust for the payment and satisfaction of such withholding tax obligations or such tax obligation that would be imposed in connection with such Distribution.

49

7.15          Defenses and Setoffs. On and after the Effective Date, the Wind-Down Entity and the Liquidation Trust, as applicable, shall have all of the Debtors’ and the Estates’ rights under Bankruptcy Code section 558. Nothing under the Plan shall affect the rights and defenses of the Debtors, the Estates, the Wind-Down Entity, or the Liquidation Trust in respect of any Claim, including all rights in respect of legal and equitable objections, defenses, setoffs, or recoupment against such Claims. Accordingly, the Liquidation Trust may, but shall not be required to, set off against any Claim or any Allowed Claim, and the payments or other Distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of such Claim, claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors, the Estates, the Wind-Down Entity, or the Liquidation Trust, as applicable, may have against the Holder of such Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any such claim or rights that may exist against such Holder.

7.16          Allocation of Distributions. All Distributions received under the Plan by Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests and Claims shall be deemed to be allocated first to the principal amount of such Claim, or the Claim to which the applicable Liquidation Trust Interest relates, as determined for United States federal income tax purposes, and then to accrued interest, if any, with respect to such Claim.

7.17          Joint Distributions. The Liquidation Trustee may, in its sole discretion, make Distributions jointly to any Holder of a Claim and any other Person that the Liquidation Trustee has determined to have an interest in such Claim.

7.18          Forfeiture of Distributions. If the Holder of a Claim fails to cash a check payable to it within the time period set forth in Section 7.6, fails to claim an undeliverable Distribution within the time limit set forth in Section 7.12, or fails to complete and return to the Liquidation Trustee the appropriate Form W-8 or Form W-9 within 180 calendar days after a request for the completion and return of the appropriate form pursuant to Section 7.14 (or such later time as approved by a Bankruptcy Court order), then such Holder shall be deemed to have forfeited its right to any reserved and future Distributions under the Plan. Any such forfeited Distributions shall be deemed Available Cash for all purposes, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary.

ARTICLE VIII

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED, CONTINGENT, AND UNLIQUIDATED
CLAIMS AND DISTRIBUTIONS WITH RESPECT THERETO

8.1          Objections to and Resolution of Disputed Claims. Including Any Claims of Excluded Parties or Disputing Claimants. From and after the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust shall have the exclusive authority to compromise, resolve, and Allow any Disputed Claim without the need to obtain approval from the Bankruptcy Court, and any agreement entered into by the Liquidation Trust with respect to the Allowance of any Claim shall be conclusive evidence and a final determination of the Allowance of such Claim; provided, however, that, under the Plan, all Claims, including Note Claims or Unit Claims, asserted by any of the Excluded Parties or any Disputing Claimant are Disputed Claims in their entirety and will have no right to receive any Distributions under the Plan unless and until such Claims are affirmatively Allowed by a Final Older.
50

8.2          Claim Objections. All objections to Claims (other than Professional Fee Claims, which shall be governed by Section 11.2 of the Plan, but including any Claims of Excluded Parties or Disputing Claimants) shall be Filed by the Liquidation Trust on or before the Claim Objection Deadline, which date may be extended on presentment of an order to the Bankruptcy Court by the Liquidation Trust prior to the expiration of such period and without need for notice or hearing. The Claim Objection Deadline shall be automatically extended as provided by Local Rule 9006-2 upon the Filing of a proposed form of order by the Liquidation Trust requesting an extension of the Claim Objection Deadline. If a timely objection has not been Filed to a proof of claim or the Schedules have not been amended with respect to a Claim that was Scheduled by the Debtors but was not Scheduled as contingent, unliquidated, or disputed, then the Claim to which the proof of claim or Scheduled Claim relates will be heated as an Allowed Claim.

8.3          Estimation of Certain Claims. The Liquidation Trust may, at any time, move for a Bankruptcy Court order estimating any Contingent Claim, Disputed Claim, or Unliquidated Claim pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 502(c), regardless of whether the Debtors have previously objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction and power 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. The estimated amount of any Claim so determined by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute the maximum recovery that the Holder thereof may recover after the ultimate liquidation of its Claim, irrespective of the actual amount that is ultimately Allowed. All of the aforementioned Claims objection, estimation, and resolution procedures are cumulative and are not necessarily exclusive of one another.

8.4          Distributions Following Allowance. Once a Contingent Claim, a Disputed Claim, or an Unliquidated Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, in whole or in part, including pursuant to the Plan, the Liquidation Trust shall distribute from the applicable Distribution Reserves to the Holder thereof the Distributions, if any, to which such Holder is then entitled under the Plan. Such Distributions, if any, shall be made on the next Distribution Date after the date on which the order or judgment allowing any such Claim becomes a Final Order or on which the Claim otherwise becomes an Allowed Claim, or, if there is no applicable Distribution Date, then within ninety (90) calendar days after the date on which the Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or allowed by a Final Order, no interest shall be paid on Contingent Claims, Disputed Claims, or Unliquidated Claims that later become Allowed Claims.

8.5          Disposition of Assets in Reserves After Disallowance. After an objection to a Disputed Claim is sustained or a Contingent Claim or Unliquidated Claim has been determined in whole or in part by a Final Order or by agreement, such that the Contingent Claim, Disputed Claim, or Unliquidated Claim is a Disallowed Claim in whole or in part, any Cash held in an applicable Distribution Reserve in respect of the particular Claim in excess of the Distributions due on account of any resulting Allowed Claim shall be used or distributed in a manner consistent with the Plan and any reserved Liquidation Trust Interests shall be cancelled.

ARTICLE XI
 
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
 
11.1        Administrative Claims. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 11.1, all requests for payment of an Administrative Claim must be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court no later than the Administrative Claims Bar Date, In the event of an objection to Allowance of an Administrative Claim, the Bankruptcy Court shall determine the Allowed amount of such Admnistrative Claim. THE FAILURE TO FILE A MOTION REQUESTING ALLOWANCE OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIM ON OR BEFORE THE ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS BAR DATE, OR THE FAILURE TO SERVE SUCH MOTION TIMELY AND PROPERLY, SHALL RESULT IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIM BEING FOREVER BARRED AND DISALLOWED WITHOUT FURTHER ORDER OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT. IF FOR ANY REASON ANY SUCH ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIM IS INCAPABLE OF BEING FOREVER BARRED AND DISALLOWED, THEN THE HOLDER OF SUCH CLAIM SHALL IN NO EVENT HAVE RECOURSE TO ANY PROPERTY TO BE DISTRIBUTED PURSUANT TO THE PLAN. Postpetition statutory tax claims shall not be subject to any Administrative Claims Bar Date.
 
11.2        Professional Fee Claims. All final requests for payment of Professional Fee Claims pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 327, 328, 330, 331, 363, 503(b), or 1103 must be made by application Filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on counsel to the Liquidation Trust and counsel to the U.S. Trustee no later than forty-five (45) calendar days after the Effective Date, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. Objections to such applications must be Filed and served on counsel to the Liquidation Trust, counsel to the U.S. Trustee, and the requesting Professional on or before the date that is twenty-one (21) calendar days after the date on which the applicable application was served (or such longer period as may be allowed by order of the Bankruptcy Court or by agreement with the requesting Professional). All Professional Fee Claims shall be paid by the Liquidation Trust to the extent approved by order of the Bankruptcy Court within five (5) Business Days after entry of such order. On the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust shall establish the Professional Fee Reserve. The Professional Fee Reserve shall vest in the Liquidation Trust and shall be maintained by the Liquidation Trust in accordance with the Plan. The Liquidation Trust shall fully fund the Professional Fee Reserve on the Effective Date in an amount that is agreed upon by the Debtors and each of the Committees prior to the Confirmation Hearing and that approximates the total projected amount of unpaid Professional Fee Claims on the Effective Date. If the Debtors and the Committees are unable to agree on an amount by which the Professional Fee Reserve is to be funded, then any of those parties may submit the issue to the Bankruptcy Court, which, following notice and a hearing, shall fix the amount of the required funding. All Professional Fee Claims that have not previously been paid, otherwise satisfied, or withdrawn shall be paid from the Professional Fee Reserve. Any excess funds in the Professional Fee Reserve shall be released to the Liquidation Trust to be used for other purposes consistent with the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Professional Fee Reserve is an estimate and shall not be construed as a cap on the Liquidation Trust’s obligation to pay in full Allowed Professional Fee Claims.
55

11.3        Payment of Statutory Fees. All fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing, shall be paid by the Debtors on or before the Effective Date. All such fees that arise after the Effective Date shall be paid by the Liquidation Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) for the Remaining Debtors, quarterly fees for the quarter in which the Effective Date occurs will be calculated on the basis of all Estate Assets being distributed to the Liquidation Trust and the Wind-Down Entity on the Effective Date in the Chapter 11 Cases of the Remaining Debtors; (ii) for all other Debtors, quarterly fees for the quarter in which the Effective Date occurs will be calculated on the basis of disbursements (if any) made by such Debtors prior to the Effective Date; and (iii) quarterly fees for each quarter after the quarter in which the Effective Date occurs will be $325.00 for any Remaining Debtors through the entry of the Final Decree for any of the Remaining Debtors or the dismissal or conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases regarding the Remaining Debtors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the U.S. Trustee shall not be required to file any proofs of claim with respect to quarterly fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930.
 
114         Post-Effective-Date Reporting.

Each quarterly report shall contain a cash flow statement which shall show Distributions by Class during the prior quarter, an unaudited balance sheet, the terms of any settlement of an individual Claim in an amount greater than $100,000, the terms of any litigation settlement where the Cause of Action or the Liquidation Trust Action was greater than $100,000 or the settlement is for more than $100,000, the terms of any sale of Estate Assets where the proceeds of such sale are $100,000 or greater, and such other information as the Liquidation Trust determines is material.
 
(b)         Until the effectiveness of an Exchange Act Registration for the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests, the Liquidation Trust shall, as soon as practicable after the end of each calendar year and upon termination of the Liquidation Trust, provide or make available a written report and account to the Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests, which report and account sets forth (i) the assets and liabilities of the Liquidation Trust at the end of such calendar year or upon termination and the receipts and disbursements of the Liquidation Trust for such calendar year or period, and (ii) changes in the Liquidation Trust Assets and actions taken by the Liquidation Trustee in the performance of its duties under the Plan or the Liquidation Trust Agreement that the Liquidation Trustee determines in its discretion may be relevant to Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests, such as material changes or actions that, in the opinion of the Liquidation Trustee, may have a material effect on the Liquidation Trust Assets that were not previously reported. The Liquidation Trust may provide or make available to Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests similar reports for such interim periods during the calendar year as the Liquidation Trustee deems advisable. So long as no Exchange Act Registration for the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests shall have become effective, such reports may be provided or made available to the Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests, in the discretion of the Liquidation Trustee, by any reasonable means, including U.S. mail, electronic transmission, display on IntraLinks or a similar virtual data room to which Holders shall have access, or publication to a publicly-available website or by press release distributed via a generally recognized business news service.
56

(c)         Following the effectiveness of an Exchange Act Registration for the Class A Liquidation Trust Interests, the Liquidation Trust shall provide or make available to the Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests, either by publication to a publicly-available website or by press release distributed via a generally recognized business news service, copies of all current reports on Form 8-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and annual reports on Form 10-K that may be required to be filed by the Liquidation Trust with the SEC under the Exchange Act, which copies are to be so provided or made available promptly after such filing.
 
11.5        Dissolution of the Committees. Each of the Committees shall be automatically dissolved on the Effective Date and, on the Effective Date, each member of the Committees (including each Related Party thereof) and each Professional retained by any of the Committees shall be released and discharged from all rights, duties, responsibilities, and obligations arising from, or related to, the Debtors, their membership on any of the Committees, the Plan, or the Chapter 11 Cases, except with respect to (a) any matters concerning any Professional Fee Claims held or asserted by any Professional retained by any of the Committees; and (b) the right of former Noteholder Committee and Unitholder Committee members to select a successor Noteholder Committee or Unitholder Committee designee, respectively, on the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board.
 
11.6        Modifications and Amendments.
 
(a)         In the Debtors’ reasonable discretion after consultation with each of the Committees, the Debtors may alter, amend, or modify the Plan under Bankruptcy Code section 1127(a) at any time at or prior to the conclusion of the Confirmation Hearing. All alterations, amendments, or modifications to the Plan must comply with Bankruptcy Code section 1127. The Debtors shall provide parties in interest with notice of such amendments or modifications as may be required by the Bankruptcy Rules or order of the Bankruptcy Court. A Creditor that has accepted the Plan shall be deemed to have accepted the Plan, as altered, amended, modified, or clarified, if the proposed alteration, amendment, modification, or clarification does not materially and adversely change the treatment of the Claim of such Creditor.
 
(b)         After entry of the Confirmation Order and prior to substantial consummation (as defined in Bankruptcy Code section 1101(2)) of the Plan, the Debtors or the Liquidation Trust, as applicable, may, under Bankruptcy Code section 1127(b), institute proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court to remedy any defect or omission or to reconcile any inconsistencies in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement approved with respect to the Plan, or the Confirmation Order, and such matters as may be necessary to carry out the purpose and effect of the Plan so long as such proceedings do not adversely affect the treatment of Holders of Claims under the Plan. Such proceedings must comply with Bankruptcy Code section 1127. To the extent required, prior notice of such proceedings shall be served in accordance with the Bankruptcy Rules or an order of the Bankruptcy Court. A Creditor that has accepted the Plan shall be deemed to have accepted the Plan, as altered, amended, modified, or clarified, if the proposed alteration, amendment, modification, or clarification does not materially and adversely change the treatment of the Claim of such Creditor.
 
11.7        Severability of Plan Provisions. If, at or before me Confirmation Hearing, the Bankruptcy Court holds that any Plan term or provision is invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court may alter or interpret that term or provision so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent possible consistent with the original purpose of that term or provision. That term or provision will then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the Plan’s remaining terms and provisions will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated. The Confirmation Order will constitute a judicial determination providing that each Plan term and provision, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with this Section 11.7, is valid and enforceable under its terms.
57

11.8        Compromises and Settlements. From and after the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust may compromise and settle disputes about any Claims or about any Liquidation Trust Actions, without any further approval by the Bankruptcy Court. Until the Effective Date, the Debtors expressly reserve the right to compromise and settle (subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court) Claims against them or any Avoidance Actions and Causes of Action belonging to the Estates.
 
11.9        Binding Effect of Plan. Upon the Effective Date, Bankruptcy Code section 1141 shall become applicable with respect to the Plan and the Plan shall be binding on all Persons to the fullest extent permitted by Bankruptcy Code section 1141(a). Confirmation of the Plan binds each Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, whether or not such Holder’s Claim or Equity Interest is Allowed, whether or not such Holder holds a Claim or Equity interest that is in a Class that is Impaired under the Plan, and whether or not such Holder has accepted the Plan.
 
11.10      Non-Discharge of the Debtors; Injunction. ln accordance with Bankruptcy Code section 1141(d)(3)(A), the Plan does not discharge the Debtors. Bankruptcy Code section 1141(c) nevertheless provides, among other things, that the properly dealt with by the Plan is free and clear of all Claims and Equity Interests against the Debtors. As such, no Person holding a Claim or an Equity Interest may receive any payment from, or seek recourse against, any assets that are to be distributed under the Plan other than assets required to be distributed to that Person under the Plan. As of the Effective Date, all Persons are precluded and barred from asserting against any property to be distributed under the Plan any Claims, rights, Causes of Action, liabilities, Equity Interests, or other action or remedy based on any act, omission, transaction, or other activity that occurred before the Effective Date except as expressly provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order.
 
11.11      Releases and Related Matters.
 
(a)         On the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, each of the Releasing Parties shall be deemed to have forever released, waived, and discharged each of the Released Parties from any and all claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action, and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, whether foreseen or unforeseen, whether liquidated or unliquidated, whether fixed or contingent, whether matured or unmatured, existing or hereafter arising, at law, in equity, or otherwise, that are based in whole or in part on any act, omission, transaction, event, or other occurrence taking place on or prior to the Effective Date in any way relating to the Debtors, the conduct of the Debtors’ business, the Chapter 11 Cases, or the Plan, except for acts or omissions that are determined in a Final Order to have constituted actual fraud or willful misconduct; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11.11 shall release or otherwise affect any Person’s rights under the Plan or the Confirmation Order.
58

(b)          Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute (i) the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, of the releases set forth in this Section 11.11; and (ii) the Bankruptcy Court’s findings that such releases are (1) in exchange for good and valuable consideration provided by the Released Parties (including performance of the terms of the Plan), and a good-faith settlement and compromise of the released claims, (2) in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, and any Holders of Claims that are Releasing Parties, (3) fair, equitable, and reasonable, (4) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing, and (5) a bar to any of the Releasing Parties asserting any released claim against any of the Released Parties.
 
(c)          Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary or an abstention from voting on the Plan, no provision of the Plan, or any order confirming the Plan, (i) releases any non-debtor Person from any Cause of Action of the SEC; or (ii) enjoins, limits, impairs, or delays the SEC from commencing or continuing any Causes of Action, proceedings, or investigations against any non-debtor Person in any forum.
 
11.12      Exculpation and Limitation of Liability. On the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, to the maximum extent permitted by law, none of the Exculpated Parties shall have or incur any liability to any Person, including to any Holder of a Claim or an Equity Interest, for any prepetition or postpetition act or omission in connection with, relating to, or arising out of the Debtors, the Chapter 11 Cases, the formulation, negotiation, preparation, dissemination, solicitation of acceptances, implementation, confirmation, or consummation of the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created, executed, or contemplated in connection with the Plan, or the administration of the Plan or the property to be distributed under the Plan; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11.12 shall release or otherwise affect any Person’s rights under the Plan or the Confirmation Order; and provided, further, that the exculpation provisions of this Section 11.12 shall not apply to acts or omissions constituting actual fraud or willful misconduct by such Exculpated Party as determined by a Final Order. For purposes of the foregoing, it is expressly understood that any act or omission effected with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court conclusively will be deemed not to constitute actual fraud or willful misconduct unless the approval of the Bankruptcy Court was obtained by fraud or misrepresentation, and in all respects, the Exculpated Parties shall be entitled to rely on the written advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities under, or in connection with, the Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan, and administration thereof. The Confirmation Order shall serve as a permanent injunction against any Person seeking to enforce any Causes of Action against the Exculpated Parties that are encompassed by the exculpation provided by this Section 11.12 of the Plan.
 
11.13      Term of Injunctions or Stays. Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Confirmation Order, all injunctions or stays in the Chapter 11 Cases under Bankruptcy Code sections 105 or 362 or otherwise, and extant as of the Confirmation Hearing (excluding any injunctions or stays contained in or arising from the Plan or the Confirmation Order), shall remain in full force and effect through and inclusive of the Effective Date.
 
59

11.14      Revocation. Withdrawal. or Non-Consummation. The Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan at any time prior to the Confirmation Hearing and to File subsequent plans. If the Debtors revoke or withdraw the Plan prior to the Confirmation Hearing, or if the Effective Date does not occur, then (a) the Plan shall be null and void in all respects; and (b) nothing contained in the Plan, and no acts taken in preparation for consummation of the Plan, shall (i) constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver or release of any Claims against, or any Equity Interests in, any Debtor, or any Causes of Action by or against any Debtor or any other Person, (ii) prejudice in any manner the rights of any Debtor or any other Person in any further proceedings involving a Debtor, or (iii) constitute an admission of any sort by any Debtor or any other Person.
 
11.15     Exemption from Transfer Taxes. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1146, the vesting of the Liquidation Trust Assets in the Liquidation Trust, the vesting of the Wind-Down Assets in the Wind-Down Entity, the issuance, transfer, or exchange of notes or equity securities under the Plan, the creation of any mortgage, deed of trust, lien, pledge, or other security interest, or the making or assignment of any lease or sublease, or making or delivery of any deed or other instrument of transfer under, in furtherance of, or in connection with the Plan, shall not be subject to any stamp, real estate transfer, mortgage recording, or other similar tax.
 
11.16      Computation of Time. In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by the Plan, the provisions of Bankruptcy Rule 9006(a) shall apply.
 
11.17      Transactions on Easiness Days.

11.18      Good Faith. Confirmation of the Plan shall constitute a conclusive determination that: (a) the Plan, and all the transactions and settlements contemplated thereby, have been proposed in good faith and in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules; and (b) the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan has been in good faith and in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and the Bankruptcy Rules, and, in each case, that the Debtors and all Related Parties have acted in good faith in connection therewith.
 
11.19      Governing Law. Unless a rule of law or procedure is supplied by federal law (including the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules), (a) the laws of the State of Delaware shall govern the construction and implementation of the Plan and (except as may be provided otherwise in any such agreements, documents, or instruments) any agreements, documents, and instruments executed in connection with the Plan and (b) the laws of the state of incorporation or formation of each Debtor shall govern corporate or limited liability company governance matters with respect to such Debtor; in each case without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Any applicable nonbankruptcy law that would prohibit, limit, or otherwise restrict implementation of the Plan based on (i) the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, (ii) the appointment of the Liquidation Trustee or the Wind-Down CEO or the Remaining Debtors Manager, (iii) the wind down of the Debtors, (iv) the liquidation of some or all of the Liquidation Trust Assets or the Wind-Down Assets, or (v) any other act or action to be done pursuant to or contemplated by the Plan is superseded and rendered inoperative by the Plan and federal bankruptcy law.
60

11.21      Final Decree. Upon the Liquidation Trustee’s determination that all Claims have been Allowed, disallowed, expunged, or withdrawn and that all Wind-Down Assets and Liquidation Trust Assets have been liquidated, abandoned, or otherwise administered, the Liquidation Trust shall move for the entry of the Final Decree with respect to the Remaining Debtors. On entry of the Final Decree, the Wind-Down CEO, the Wind-Down Board, the Liquidation Trustee, the Liquidation Trust Supervisory Board, the Remaining Debtors Manager, and their respective Related Parties, in each case to the extent not previously discharged by the Bankruptcy Court, shall be deemed discharged and have no further duties or obligations to any Person.
 
11.22      Closing of Certain Chapter 11 Cases. On the Effective Date, the Chapter 11 Cases for all Debtors other than the Remaining Debtors will be deemed closed and no further fees in respect of such closed cases will thereafter accrue or be payable to any Person. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust shall submit a separate order to the Bankruptcy Court under certification of counsel closing the Chapter 11 Cases for all Debtors other than the Remaining Debtors. The Liquidation Trust may at any point File a motion to close the Chapter 11 Case for either of the Remaining Debtors.
 
11.23     Additional Documents. On or before the Effective Date, the Debtors may File with the Bankruptcy Court such agreements and other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Debtors, the Wind-Down Entity, and the Liquidation Trust, as applicable, and all Holders receiving Distributions pursuant to the Plan and all other parties in interest may, from time to time, prepare, execute, and deliver any agreements or documents and take any other acts as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions and intent of the Plan.
 
11.24      Conflicts with the Plan. In the event and to the extent that any provision of the Plan is inconsistent with the provisions of the Disclosure Statement, any other order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases, or any other agreement to be executed by any Person pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control and take precedence; provided, however, that the Confirmation Order shall control and take precedence in the event of any inconsistency between the Confirmation Order, any provision of the Plan, and any of the foregoing documents.

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE OF THE FOLLOWING:

 

1.       Confirmation Order. On October __, 2018, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) entered an order [Docket No.       ] (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation of Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and Its Affiliated Debtors [Docket No. 2397] (including all exhibits thereto, and as amended, supplemented, or modified from time to time pursuant to the terms thereof, the “Plan”)2 in the chapter 11 cases of the above-captioned debtors (collectively, the “Debtors”).

 

2.       Effective Date. The Effective Date of the Plan occurred on [Date], 2018.

 

3.       Professional Fee Claims. As provided in Section 11.2 of the Plan, all final requests for payment of Professional Fee Claims pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 327, 328, 330. 331, 363, 503(b), or 1103 must be made by application Filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on counsel to the Liquidation Trust and counsel to the U.S. Trustee no later than [insert date → forty-five (45) calendar days after the Effective Date], unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. Objections to such applications must be Filed and served on counsel to the Liquidation Trust, counsel to the U.S. Trustee, and the requesting Professional on or before the date that is twenty-one (21) calendar days after the date on which the applicable application was served (or such longer period as may be allowed by order of the Bankruptcy Court or by agreement with the requesting Professional). All Professional Fee Claims shall be paid by the Liquidation Trust to the extent approved by order of the Bankruptcy Court within five (5) Business Days after entry of such order.

The failure to File a motion requesting allowance of an Administrative Claim on or before the Administrative Claims Bar Date, or the failure to serve such motion timely and properly, shall result in the Administrative Claim being forever barred and disallowed without further order of the Bankruptcy Court. If for any reason any such Administrative Claim is incapable of being forever barred and disallowed, then the Holder of such Claim shall in no event have recourse to any property to be distributed pursuant to the Plan. In the event of an objection to allowance of an Administrative Claim, the Bankruptcy Court shall determine the Allowed amount of such Administrative Claim.
