INTRODUCTION

Owens Corning, a Delaware corporation (“OCD”), and those entities listed on Schedule I hereto, together with such other Subsidiaries of OCD as may file for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code subsequent to the date hereof and prior to the Confirmation Date (collectively, the “Subsidiary Debtors,” and, together with OCD, the “Debtors”), James J. McMonagle, the Legal Representative for Future Claimants (“Future Claimants’ Representative”), and the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants (“Asbestos Claimants’ Committee”), hereby propose the following amended joint plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) for the Debtors in their reorganization cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11”) for the resolution of their creditors’ Claims and Demands and their equity holders’ Interests. On May 10, 2006, the Debtors filed with the Court the Settlement Term Sheet (as defined below), which outlines the terms under which the Debtors and representatives of the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee, the Future Claimants’ Representative, the Official Representatives (as defined below), the Ad Hoc Bondholders’ Committee (as defined below), and the Ad Hoc Equity Holders’ Committee (as defined below) reached agreement in principle on the principal terms of a plan of reorganization. The Plan is consistent with the terms of the Settlement Term Sheet. The Debtors, the Asbestos Claimants Committee, and the Future Claimants’ Representative (the “Plan Proponents”) are the proponents of the Plan within the meaning of Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. The steering committee of Bank Holders supports the Plan, pursuant to the terms of the letter, dated December 30, 2005, appended to the Disclosure Statement as Appendix K.

Certain other of OCD’s Subsidiaries (including certain foreign entities and joint ventures) have not commenced cases under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (collectively, the “Non-Debtor Subsidiaries”), and accordingly continue to operate their businesses in the ordinary course. A list of the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries is attached hereto as Schedule II. Although the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries have not filed under Chapter 11 at the present time, one or more of the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries may file for reorganization under Chapter 11 in the future. The timing of any such filing would be determined at a later date, but any such filing would be made to permit the inclusion of such entities as part of the Plan. In the event of such filings, the Debtors reserve the right to file first day motions seeking authority to pay all trade creditors as critical vendors in order to avoid any potential disruption of OC’s foreign operations. Moreover, the Plan will provide for full payment of all such trade creditors. In the event that any such additional filings are not required to effectuate the terms of the Plan, the Debtors reserve the right not to cause such entities to file for bankruptcy protection.

Subject to certain restrictions and requirements set forth in Section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 3019 and Section 14.4 of the Plan, the Plan Proponents reserve the right to alter, amend, modify, revoke or withdraw the Plan prior to its substantial consummation.

133


  (b) FAIR Act Enacted on or Subsequent to the Effective Date and Prior to the Trigger Date

 

(i) In the event that (A) the FAIR Act has been enacted into law on or subsequent to the Effective Date, but on or before the Trigger Date, and the FAIR Act has not been challenged in a court of competent jurisdiction on or before March 31, 2007, or (B) the FAIR Act has been enacted into law on or before the Trigger Date and has been challenged in a court of competent jurisdiction on or before March 31, 2007, but such challenge is ultimately denied pursuant to a Final Order, then the Contingent Note and the Contingent Note Stock Pledge (if any) shall (and shall be deemed to) be automatically cancelled and defeased without further notice or order of Court and shall be of no further force and effect whatsoever, and no Reserved New OCD Shares shall be issued or delivered to the OC Sub-Account or the FB Sub-Account.

 

(ii) In the event that the FAIR Act has been enacted into law on or subsequent to the Effective Date, but on or before the Trigger Date, but has been challenged in a court of competent jurisdiction on or before March 31, 2007, and such challenge ultimately succeeds pursuant to a Final Order, then the Contingent Note (including any interest accrued thereon) shall become payable in accordance with its terms and the Reserved New OCD Shares shall be issued and delivered by Reorganized OCD to the OC Sub-Account and the FB Sub-Account within three (3) Business Days of the date on which the order upholding the challenge to the FAIR Act becomes a Final Order; provided, however, that neither the Contingent Note (including any interest accrued thereon) shall become payable, nor shall the Reserved New OCD Shares be issued or delivered, prior to January 1, 2007.

 

  (c) FAIR Act Not Enacted Prior to the Trigger Date

In the event that the FAIR Act has not been enacted into law on or before the Trigger Date, then the Contingent Note (including any interest accrued thereon) shall become payable and the Reserved New OCD Shares shall be issued and delivered to the OC Sub-Account on a date to be determined by Reorganized OCD (on notice to the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust) that is no earlier than January 1, 2007 and no later than January 8, 2007.

 

  (d) No Impact on Asbestos Personal Injury Permanent Channeling Injunction

The Asbestos Personal Injury Permanent Channeling Injunction and the other injunctive and related provisions of the Plan, including, without limitation, Sections 3.3, 3.4, 5.16 and 5.17 of the Plan, shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent possible under applicable law whether or not the FAIR Act is ever enacted.

 

  3.25 Reservation of Rights Regarding Claims

Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, nothing herein shall, or shall be deemed to, affect or impair any of the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ rights and defenses, both legal and equitable, with respect to any Claims, including, without limitation, all rights with respect to legal and equitable defenses to alleged rights of setoff or recoupment. The Claims against any particular Debtor that are Unimpaired shall remain the obligations solely of such Debtor and shall not become obligations of any other Debtor or Reorganized Debtor.

ARTICLE IV

ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF THE PLAN

 

  4.1 Impaired Classes of Claims and Interests Entitled to Vote

Subject to Sections 4.3 and 4.4 hereof, holders of Claims or Interests in each Impaired Class of Claims or Interests that receive or retain property pursuant to the Plan shall be entitled to vote separately to accept or reject the Plan.

 

  4.2 Acceptance by an Impaired Class

Pursuant to Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, but subject to Section 4.3 below, an impaired Class of Claims shall have accepted the Plan if, after excluding any Claims held by any holder designated pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, (a) the holders of at least two-thirds in dollar amount of the Allowed Claims actually voting in such Class have voted to accept the Plan, and (b) more than one-half in number of such Allowed Claims actually voting in such Class have voted to accept the Plan.

Pursuant to Section 524(g)(2)(B)(ii)(IV)(bb) of the Bankruptcy Code, the respective Classes of Class A7 OC Asbestos Personal Injury Claims, Class I7 Integrex Asbestos Personal Injury Claims and Class B8 FB Asbestos Personal Injury Claims shall be deemed to have accepted the Plan only if the holders of at least 75 percent of those Claims voting in each such Class have voted to accept the Plan.

 

  4.4 Presumed Acceptances by Unimpaired Classes

Classes of Claims or Interests designated as unimpaired are conclusively presumed to have voted to accept the Plan pursuant to Section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, and the votes of such Claim holders will not be solicited.

  4.6 Confirmability and Severability of the Plan

 

  (a) Consensual Confirmation

The Confirmation requirements of Section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code must be satisfied separately with respect to each Debtor. Therefore, notwithstanding the combination of

 

135


the separate plans of reorganization of all Debtors in this Plan for purposes of, among other things, economy and efficiency, the Plan shall be deemed a separate Chapter 11 plan for each such Debtor.

 

  (b) Cramdown

With respect to any impaired Class of Claims or Interests that fails to accept the Plan in accordance with Section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, excluding Classes A7, I7 and B8 and including any classes that may be created pursuant to amendments to the Plan, the Plan Proponents request that the Court confirm the Plan in accordance with Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to such non-accepting classes, in which case or cases, the Plan shall constitute a motion for such relief.

 

  (c) Reservation of Rights

The Plan Proponents reserve the right to modify or withdraw the Plan, any other plan, or the Plan in its entirety, for any reason, including, without limitation, in the event that any separate plan for a particular Debtor is not confirmed. In addition, should the Plan, or any individual Debtor’s plan, fail to be accepted by the requisite number and amount of Claims and Interests voting, as required to satisfy Sections 524(g) (in the case of any Debtor subject to Asbestos Personal Injury Claims) and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Plan Proponents reserve the right to amend, modify or withdraw the Plan in its entirety.

Following confirmation and consummation of the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors will continue to exist as separate corporate entities in accordance with the laws of their respective states of incorporation and pursuant to their respective certificates or articles of incorporation and bylaws in effect prior to the Effective Date, except to the extent such certificates or articles of incorporation and bylaws are amended pursuant to the Plan or as otherwise provided under the Restructuring Transactions. OC intends to implement a restructuring plan which would reorganize OCD and its Subsidiaries along OC’s major business lines. The planning for this restructuring is ongoing. The Restructuring Transactions (including a summary of the corporate actions necessary to accomplish the Restructuring Transactions) shall be summarized in Schedule XX, to be filed no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Objection Deadline.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Pre-petition Bond Indentures shall continue in effect solely for the purposes of (x) allowing the Pre-petition Indenture Trustee to make distributions to holders of

 

136


Allowed Class A5 Claims pursuant to the Plan and (y) permitting the Pre-petition Indenture Trustee to maintain any rights or liens it may have for fees, costs, expenses and indemnification under its indenture or other agreement or applicable law, but the foregoing shall not result in any expense or liability to any Reorganized Debtor other than as expressly provided for in the Plan. The Charging Liens of the Pre-petition Indenture Trustees will be discharged solely upon payment in full of the Indenture Trustee Fees, and nothing herein shall be deemed to impair, waive or discharge any Charging Lien for any fees and expenses not paid by the Reorganized Debtors.

(b) No Reorganized Debtor shall have any obligations to any Pre-petition Indenture Trustee, agent or service (or to any disbursing agent replacing a Pre-petition Indenture Trustee, agent or service) for any fees, costs or expenses, except as expressly provided in the Plan. Except as provided in any contract, instrument or other agreement or document entered into or delivered in connection with the Plan, on the Effective Date and immediately following the completion of distributions to holders of Claims in Class A5, the Pre-petition Indenture Trustees shall be released from all duties, without any further action on the part of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, as of the Effective Date, by virtue of the Plan, and without any action necessary on the part of the holders thereof or any corporate action, except as specified in the Plan, all of the OCD Interests and Integrex Interests outstanding at the Effective Date shall be cancelled, extinguished and retired, and, subject in the case of OCD Interests to Section 3.3(i)(i)(A) hereof, no consideration shall be paid or delivered with respect thereto.

The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Reorganized OCD and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of Reorganized OCD will also include provisions (i) creating the New OCD Common Stock, and (ii), to the extent necessary or appropriate, effectuating the provisions of the Plan. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Reorganized OCD and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of Reorganized OCD shall be in substantially the forms of Exhibit A and Exhibit B, to be filed at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Objection Deadline.

 

  5.5 Exculpation and Limitation of Liability

(a) No Claimant Released Party or Released Party shall have or incur any liability to any Person that has held, currently holds or may hold a Claim or other obligation, suit, judgment, damages, Demand, debt, right, remedy, cause of action or liability or Interest or other right of an equity security holder, or any other party in interest, or any Person claiming by or

 

137


through them, or any of their respective Related Persons, for any act or omission in connection with, relating to, or arising out of, the Chapter 11 Cases, formulating, negotiating or implementing the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Rights Offering Documents (including, without limitation, any of the Subscription Documents), the Class A11 Warrants, the Class A12 Warrants or the Plan Support Agreement, the solicitation of acceptances of the Plan, the pursuit of confirmation of the Plan, the confirmation of the Plan, the consummation of the Plan or the Rights Offering, or the administration of the Plan or the property to be distributed under the Plan, except for willful misconduct or gross negligence, and, in all respects shall be entitled to reasonably rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities under the Plan.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Person that has held, currently holds or may hold a Claim or other obligation, suit, judgment, damages, Demand, debt, right, remedy, cause of action or liability or Interest or other right of an equity security holder, no person claiming by or through them, nor any of their respective Related Persons, shall have any Claim or right of action against any Claimant Released Party or any Released Party for any act or omission in connection with, relating to, or arising out of, the Chapter 11 Cases, formulating, negotiating or implementing the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, any of the Rights Offering Documents (including, without limitation, any of the Subscription Documents), the Class A11 Warrants, the Class A12 Warrants or the Plan Support Agreement, solicitation of acceptances of the Plan, the pursuit of confirmation of the Plan, the consummation of the Plan or the Rights Offering, the confirmation of the Plan or the administration of the Plan or the property to be distributed under the Plan, except for willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(c) The foregoing exculpation and limitation on liability shall not, however, limit, abridge or otherwise affect the rights of the Reorganized Debtors to enforce, sue on, settle or compromise the rights, claims and other matters retained by Reorganized Debtors pursuant to Section 5.13 of the Plan.

(d) The foregoing exculpation and limitation on liability are an integral part of the Plan and are essential to its implementation. Each Person being exculpated, or whose liability is being limited, pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall have the right to independently seek the enforcement of the terms of this Section 5.5.

 

  5.6 Restructuring Transactions

On or after the Effective Date, any Reorganized Debtor may enter into Restructuring Transactions and may take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect such Restructuring Transactions, as may be determined by such Reorganized Debtor to be necessary or appropriate. The actions to effect the Restructuring Transactions may include: (i) the execution and delivery of appropriate agreements or other documents of merger, consolidation, restructuring, disposition, liquidation or dissolution containing terms that are consistent with the terms herein and that satisfy the applicable requirements of applicable law and such other terms to which the applicable entities may agree; (ii) the execution and delivery of appropriate instruments of transfer, assignment, assumption or delegation of any asset, property, right, liability, duty or obligation on terms consistent with the terms herein and having such other terms to which the applicable entities may agree; (iii) the filing of appropriate

certificates or articles of merger, consolidation or dissolution pursuant to applicable law; and (iv) all other actions which the applicable entities may determine to be necessary or appropriate, including making filings or recordings that may be required by applicable law in connection with such transactions. The Restructuring Transactions may include one or more mergers, consolidations, restructures, dispositions, liquidations or dissolutions, as may be determined by the Reorganized Debtors to be necessary or appropriate to result in substantially all of the respective assets, properties, rights, liabilities, duties and obligations of all or certain of the Reorganized Debtors vesting in one or more surviving, resulting or acquiring corporations. In each case in which the surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation in any such transaction is a successor to a Reorganized Debtor, such surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation will perform the obligations of the applicable Reorganized Debtor pursuant to the Plan to pay or otherwise satisfy the Allowed Claims against such Reorganized Debtor, except as provided in any contract, instrument or other agreement or document effecting a disposition to such surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation, which may provide that another Reorganized Debtor will perform such obligations. OC intends to implement a restructuring plan which would reorganize OCD and its Subsidiaries along OC’s major business lines as described in the Disclosure Statement, with a detailed description of the actions and steps required to implement the Restructuring Transactions to be filed at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Objection Deadline. On or prior to, or as soon as practicable after, the Effective Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may take such steps as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate Restructuring Transactions that satisfy the requirements set forth in this Section 5.6. The Restructuring Transactions shall be authorized and approved by the Confirmation Order pursuant to, among other provisions, Sections 1123 and 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code and Section 303 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code, without any further notice, action, third-party consents, court order or process of any kind.

(a) On or after the Effective Date, Reorganized OCD shall issue for distribution in accordance with the terms of the Plan (i) the New OCD Common Stock, including, without limitation, the Unsubscribed Shares and the Rights Offering Shares, and (ii) the Class A11 Warrants and the Class A12 Warrants, and may also refinance the obligations owed to the Bank Holders under the 1997 Credit Agreement through the execution of the Exit Facility and the issuance of the Senior Notes (if applicable).

139


warrants, conversion rights, rights of first refusal or other related rights, contractual, equitable or otherwise, issued, authorized or reserved under or in connection with the Plan, shall be, and shall be deemed to be, exempt from registration under any applicable federal or state securities law to the fullest extent permissible under applicable non-bankruptcy law and under bankruptcy law, including, without limitation, Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.

  5.8 Rights Offering

 

  (a) Eligibility for Participation in Rights Offering

Each holder of an Eligible Class A5 Claim, Eligible Class A6-A Claim and Eligible Class A6-B Claim as of the Rights Offering Record Date shall be entitled to participate in the Rights Offering as and to the extent provided in the Subscription Documents.

 

  (b) Issuance of Rights

The Rights issued to the holders of Eligible Class A5 Claims, Eligible Class A6-A Claims and Eligible Class A6-B Claims pursuant to the Rights Offering shall entitle such holders to purchase, on a Pro Rata basis (calculated pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Documents), the Rights Offering Shares at the Subscription Price pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Subscription Documents and this Section 5.8, provided that each such subscribing holder shall have timely executed a Subscription Agreement, which shall be distributed to such holder together with such holder’s Ballot as part of the solicitation materials, and otherwise satisfies the requirements set forth in the Subscription Documents and Section 5.8(d) below.

 

  (c) Subscription Period

The Rights Offering shall commence on the Subscription Commencement Date and shall expire on the Subscription Expiration Time. After the Subscription Expiration Time, any and all unexercised Rights shall automatically terminate without further notice or order of Court, and any purported exercise of any such unexercised Rights by any Person shall be null and void. Reorganized OCD shall not (and shall have no obligation to) honor any such purported exercise received by the Subscription Agent after the Subscription Expiration Time, regardless of when the documents relating to such exercise were purportedly delivered or executed.

 

  (d) Exercise of Rights

In order to exercise a Right, each holder of an Eligible Class A5 Claim, Eligible Class A6-A Claim and Eligible Class A6-B Claim entitled to exercise such Right shall: (i) return a duly completed and signed Subscription Agreement to the Subscription Agent so that such documents are received by the Subscription Agent on or before the Subscription Expiration Time; and (ii)

 

140


pay to the Subscription Agent (on behalf of the Debtors) on or before the Subscription Expiration Time in Cash in an amount equal to the aggregate Subscription Price for the Rights Offering Shares elected to be purchased by such holder, which payment shall be made by wire transfer in accordance with the wire instructions set forth on the Subscription Agreement. If, prior to the Subscription Expiration Time, the Subscription Agent for any reason has not received from a given holder of Rights (i) a duly completed and signed Subscription Agreement, and (ii) Cash, in an amount equal to such holder’s aggregate Subscription Price for the Rights Offering Shares elected to be purchased by such holder, then such holder shall be deemed to have not validly exercised its Rights and to have relinquished and waived its ability to participate in the Rights Offering; provided, however, that the Unsubscribed Shares shall include those Rights Offering Shares corresponding to the Rights not validly exercised pursuant to the Rights Offering. A Subscription Agreement must also be accompanied by an executed certification or other evidence of the holder’s ownership of the Claim giving rise to the Rights in form and substance satisfactory to OCD and the Subscription Agent. The Purchase Price Proceeds shall be deposited by or on behalf of the Subscription Agent in the Rights Offering Account. In the event that the Rights Offering Account is held by an entity other than OCD (or any of its Affiliates), then the Purchase Price Proceeds shall be remitted to OCD on or before the Effective Date in such manner as may be reasonably satisfactory to OCD and the other Plan Proponents consistent with the Rights Offering Documents.

 

  (e) Transfer Restriction; No Revocation

The Rights shall not be independently transferable (but may be transferred along with the underlying Class A5, Class A6-A or Class A6-B Claim). Additionally, once a holder of Rights has properly exercised its Rights pursuant to the Subscription Documents, such exercise cannot be revoked for any reason.

 

  (f) Purchase by Investor of Unsubscribed Shares

As promptly as practicable, but in any event at least four (4) Business Days prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors shall give the Investor by electronic facsimile transmission the certification by an executive officer of OCD (conforming to the requirements specified in the Equity Commitment Agreement for such certification) of either (i) the number of Unsubscribed Shares and the aggregate purchase price therefor, calculated based upon a purchase price per Unsubscribed Share equal to the Subscription Price, or (ii) in the absence of any Unsubscribed Shares, confirmation that there are no Unsubscribed Shares and that the Backstop Commitment, as defined in the Equity Commitment Agreement, has been terminated. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Commitment Agreement and provided that all conditions precedent set forth therein have been satisfied, the Investor shall purchase in Cash on the Effective Date any and all of the Unsubscribed Shares and shall pay to OCD or, if applicable, Reorganized OCD Cash in an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price set forth in the notice described in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence.

 

  (g) Distribution of Rights Offering Shares

 

  (i) On or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, but no later than the Initial Distribution Date, Reorganized OCD

 

141


       shall issue the Rights Offering Shares to those holders of Eligible Class A5 Claims, Eligible Class A6-A Claims and Eligible Class A6-B Claims that properly exercised their Rights pursuant to the Subscription Documents, subject, in each case, to acceptance of the Plan by the applicable Class pursuant to Sections 3.3(c)(ii), 3.3(d)(ii) and 3.3(e)(ii) above.

 

  (ii) Solely in the event there are any Unsubscribed Shares after the Subscription Expiration Time, on the Effective Date, Reorganized OCD shall issue and deliver to the account of the Investor (or such other accounts as the Investor may designate) the Unsubscribed Shares, and the Investor shall pay in Cash the aggregate purchase price for the Unsubscribed Shares as set forth in the notice described in clause (i) of Section 5.8(f) hereof by wire transfer of federal (same day) funds to the account specified by OCD to the Investor at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Equity Commitment Agreement.

 

  (h) Interest

In the event that any Rights Offering Purchase Price Proceeds are repaid or otherwise returned to any Person (including any holder of an Eligible Class A5 Claim, Eligible Class A6-A Claim or Eligible Class A6-B Claim) making such payment, such Rights Offering Purchase Price Proceeds shall be returned together with any simple interest actually earned thereon after the Subscription Expiration Time.

 

  (i) Validity of Exercise of Rights

All questions concerning the timeliness, viability, form and eligibility of any exercise of Rights shall be determined by OCD in accordance with the Rights Offering Documents. Such determinations shall be final and binding. OCD, with the consultation of the Subscription Agent, may waive any defect or irregularity, or permit a defect or irregularity to be corrected within such times as it may determine, or reject the purported exercise of any Rights. Subscription Agreements shall be deemed not to have been received or accepted until all irregularities have been waived or cured within such time as OCD, with the consultation of the Subscription Agent, determines. Neither OCD nor the Subscription Agent shall be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity in connection with the submission of Subscription Agreements or incur any liability for failure to give such notification. For the avoidance of doubt, the Unsubscribed Shares shall include those Rights Offering Shares corresponding to the Rights not validly exercised pursuant to the Rights Offering.

 

  (j) Return of Rights Offering Purchase Price Proceeds

In the event that the Plan Proponents revoke, withdraw or fail to consummate the Plan pursuant to Section 14.15 herein, or the conditions precedent to the occurrence of the Effective Date shall not have been satisfied or waived in accordance with Section 12.2 herein, the

 

142


Subscription Agent, OCD or Reorganized OCD, as the case may be, shall, within five (5) Business Days of such event or failure to consummate the Plan, return to each Person that exercised a Right such Person’s ratable portion of the Rights Offering Purchase Price Proceeds together with any simple interest actually earned thereon.

 

  5.9 Offerings of Senior Notes

Reorganized OCD reserves the right to conduct offerings of Senior Notes prior to or after the Initial Distribution Date, as it may deem appropriate (subject to the reasonable consent of the other Plan Proponents).

 

  5.10 Put and Call Options and Registration Rights Agreement

 

  (a) Put and Call Options

On or before the Effective Date, the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust, the Backstop Providers and/or such other Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust, the Backstop Providers and Reorganized OCD shall enter into the Call Agreements and the Put Agreements. In the event that the Reserved New OCD Shares are issued and delivered to the OC Sub-Account pursuant to Sections 3.24(b) or 3.24(c) above, then (i) the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust (or such other Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust, the Backstop Providers and Reorganized OCD ) shall grant the Call Options to the Backstop Providers (or such other Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust, the Backstop Providers and Reorganized OCD) pursuant to the Call Agreements, and (ii) the Backstop Providers (or such other Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust, the Backstop Providers and Reorganized OCD) shall grant the Put Options to the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust (or such other Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust, the Backstop Providers and Reorganized OCD) pursuant to the Put Agreements.

 

  (b) Registration Rights Agreement

On the Effective Date, the Registration Rights Agreement shall be deemed effective and binding upon Reorganized OCD, the Investor, the Backstop Providers, and the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust, in each case with respect to shares of New OCD Common Stock received by such Person pursuant to the Plan (whether as a direct distribution, pursuant to the exercise of Rights, pursuant to the exercise or exchange of the Call Options or the Put Options or otherwise), and as otherwise provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement, on the terms set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

The Reorganized Debtors shall be deemed the appointed representative to, and may pursue, litigate, compromise and settle any such rights, remedies, claims, causes of action, suits or proceedings as appropriate, in accordance with the best interests of the Reorganized Debtors or their respective successors who hold such rights.

(b) OCD and any other of the Reorganized Debtors whose employees are covered by the Merged Plan shall assume and continue the Merged Plan, satisfy the minimum funding standards pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 412 and 29 U.S.C. § 1082, and administer the Merged Plan in accordance with its terms and the provisions of ERISA.

ARTICLE VI

[Intentionally Omitted]

ARTICLE VII

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY AND POST-PETITION CONTRACTS

AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

 

  7.1 Assumed Contracts and Leases

(a) Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, or in any contract, instrument, release, indenture or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan, as of the Effective Date, each Debtor shall be deemed to have assumed each executory contract and unexpired lease to which it is a party, unless such contract or lease (i) was previously assumed or rejected by such Debtor, (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms, (iii) is the subject of a motion pending before the Bankruptcy Court as of the Confirmation Date to assume or reject such contract or lease or (iv) is listed on Schedule IV, to be filed at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Objection Deadline, as being an executory contract or unexpired lease to be rejected; provided, however, that the Plan Proponents reserve the right, at any time prior to the Confirmation Date, to amend Schedule IV to add or delete any unexpired lease or executory contract. Moreover, except as otherwise provided in the Plan or an order of the Court entered prior to the Effective Date, as of the Effective Date, all of the Debtors’ post-petition contracts and leases entered into by one or more of the Debtors after the Petition Date shall be treated as

 


12 The Debtors reserve the right to propose an additional or other form of employee benefit or incentive program as part of the Employee Arrangements, the terms and conditions of which would be disclosed on Exhibit F, as it may be modified, revised and supplemented (as may be satisfactory in form and substance to the Reorganized Debtors and any other Plan Proponents) up to ten (10) Business Days prior to the Objection Deadline.

 

152


though they are executory contracts or unexpired leases that are assumed under the Plan. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court under Sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable, approving the contract and lease assumptions described above, as of the Effective Date.

(b) Each executory contract and unexpired lease (including each post-petition contract and lease treated as an executory contract) that is assumed and relates to the use, ability to acquire, or occupancy of real property shall include (i) all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements or other agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument or other document that in any manner affect such executory contract or unexpired lease and (ii) all executory contracts or unexpired leases appurtenant to the premises, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, powers, uses, usufructs, reciprocal easement agreements, vaults, tunnel or bridge agreements or franchises and any other interests in real estate or rights in rem related to such premises, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been rejected pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

  7.2 Payments Related to Assumption of Contracts and Leases

Any monetary amounts by which each executory contract and unexpired lease (including each post-petition contract and lease treated as an executory contract) to be assumed pursuant to the Plan is in default will be satisfied, under Section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, at the option of the Debtors or the assignee of a Debtor assuming such contract or lease, by Cure. If there is a dispute regarding (i) the nature or amount of any Cure, (ii) the ability of a Reorganized Debtor or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed or (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption, Cure will occur following the entry of a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court resolving the dispute and approving the assumption or assumption and assignment, as the case may be. To the extent not previously provided by the Court, the Confirmation Order shall contain provisions for notices of proposed assumptions and proposed Cure amounts to be sent to applicable third parties and for procedures for objecting thereto and resolution of disputes by the Bankruptcy Court. If no proposed Cure amount is proposed by the Debtors, it shall be presumed that the Debtors are asserting that no Cure amount is required to be paid under Section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

  7.3 Assignments Related to the Restructuring Transactions

As of the effective time of an applicable Restructuring Transaction, any executory contract or unexpired lease (including any post-petition contract or lease treated as an executory contract) to be held by any Debtor or another surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation in an applicable Restructuring Transaction shall be deemed assigned to the applicable entity pursuant to section 105, 365 and/or 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable.

 

  7.4 Rejected Contracts and Leases

On the Effective Date, each executory contract and unexpired lease that is listed on Schedule IV, shall be rejected pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. Each contract or lease listed on Schedule IV shall be rejected only to the extent that any such contract or lease

 

153


constitutes an executory contract or unexpired lease. The Plan Proponents reserve their right, at any time prior to the Confirmation Date, to amend Schedule IV to delete any unexpired lease or executory contract therefrom or add any unexpired lease or executory contract thereto. To the extent that an executory contract or unexpired lease (i) is not listed on Schedule IV, (ii) has not been previously rejected or (iii) is not subject to a motion to reject at the time of the Confirmation Date, such executory contract or unexpired lease shall be deemed assumed. Listing a contract or lease on Schedule IV shall not constitute an admission by a Debtor nor a Reorganized Debtor that such contract or lease is an executory contract or unexpired lease or that such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, any agreement entered into prior to the Petition Date by or on behalf of the Debtors with a holder of an Asbestos Personal Injury Claim with respect to the settlement of any OC Asbestos Personal Injury Claim or FB Asbestos Personal Injury Claim shall be deemed rejected as of the Effective Date to the extent such settlement agreement is deemed to be an executory contract within the meaning of Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such rejections as of the Effective Date, pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

  7.5 Rejection Damages Bar Date

If the rejection by a Debtor, pursuant to the Plan, of an executory contract or unexpired lease results in a Claim, then such Claim shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, or the properties of any of them, unless a Proof of Claim is filed and served upon counsel to the Debtors, counsel to the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee and counsel to the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee, within thirty (30) days after service of the notice that the executory contract or unexpired lease has been rejected.

 

  7.6 Indemnification Obligations

(a) Indemnification Obligations shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, executory contracts that are assumed pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code under the Plan as of the Effective Date, and such obligations shall survive confirmation of the Plan, remain unaffected by the Plan and shall not be discharged or impaired by the Plan, irrespective of whether the indemnification or reimbursement obligation is owed in connection with an event occurring before, on or after the Petition Date, except as may otherwise be provided in Schedule XVII, to be filed no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Objection Deadline; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in this Plan, indemnification obligations that are not Indemnification Obligations shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, executory contracts that are rejected pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date.

(b) In addition to the foregoing, as of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall obtain and maintain in full force tail insurance covering such risks as are presently covered for the benefit of all Persons who are or were officers or directors of the Debtors on the Petition Date or thereafter, except as may otherwise be provided in Schedule XVII, to be filed no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Objection Deadline, in a minimum amount and for a minimum period as shall be set forth in Schedule XVIII, to be filed no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Objection Deadline.

 

154


(c) Each of the provisions set forth in this Section 7.6 is an integral part of the Plan and is essential to its implementation. Each Person entitled to indemnification and insurance pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall have the right to independently seek the enforcement of each of the terms of this Section 7.6.

 

  7.7 Insurance Policies and Agreements

(a) Assumed Insurance Policies and Agreements The Debtors do not believe that the insurance policies issued to, or insurance agreements entered into by, the Debtors prior to the Petition Date (including, without limitation, any policies covering directors’ or officers’ conduct) constitute executory contracts (and, consequently, such insurance policies and agreements shall continue in effect after the Effective Date). To the extent that such insurance policies or agreements (including, without limitation, any policies covering directors’ or officers’ conduct) are considered to be executory contracts, then, notwithstanding anything contained in Section 7.1 or 7.3 of the Plan to the contrary, the Plan shall constitute a motion to assume such insurance policies and agreements (except for those set forth on Schedule XI in accordance with Section 7.7(b) below), and, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, the entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute approval of such assumption pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that each such assumption is in the best interest of each Debtor, its Estate, and all parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases. Unless otherwise determined by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to a Final Order or agreed to by the parties thereto prior to the Effective Date, no payments are required to cure any defaults of the Debtors existing as of the Confirmation Date with respect to each such insurance policy or agreement. To the extent that the Bankruptcy Court determines otherwise as to any such insurance policy or agreement, the Debtors reserve the right to seek rejection of such insurance policy or agreement or other available relief. In accordance with Sections 10.3 and 11.3 of the Plan, the rights of the Debtors under the insurance policies and agreements constituting (i) the OC Asbestos Personal Injury Liability Insurance Assets shall, to the extent necessary, be deemed assigned to the OC Sub-Account of the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust as of the Effective Date and (ii) the FB Asbestos Property Damage Insurance Assets shall, to the extent necessary, be deemed assigned to the FB Asbestos Property Damage Trust as of the Effective Date, and, pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors shall have no further liability thereunder from and after June 18, 2001.

 

  (b) Rejected Insurance Policies and Agreements

If the Wellington Agreement is determined to be an executory contract, OCD has agreed that it will not reject the Wellington Agreement as an executory contract. To the extent that any or all of the insurance policies and agreements set forth on Schedule XI, to be filed no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Objection Deadline, are considered to be executory contracts, then, notwithstanding anything contained in Section 7.1 or 7.3 of the Plan to the contrary, the Plan shall constitute a motion to reject the insurance policies and agreements set forth on Schedule XI, and the entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute approval of such rejection pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that each such rejected insurance policy or agreement set forth on Schedule XI is burdensome and that the rejection thereof is in the best interest of each Debtor, its estate, and all parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases.

  (c) Reservation of Rights

With the exception of issues that are expressly resolved in the Plan or Confirmation Order including those specified in Section 3.3(f)(iii), 3.4(d)(iii), and 12.1(a)(xxiv) and (xxv) of the Plan relating to rights under insurance policies and insurance settlement agreements, and with the exception of issues that are expressly resolved by insurance settlement agreements approved by the Bankruptcy Court: (i) nothing contained in the Plan, including this Section 7.7 or in the Confirmation Order, shall preclude OCD, Fibreboard, or their insurers from asserting in any proceeding any and all claims, defenses, rights or causes of action that they have or may have under or in connection with any insurance policies issued to OCD or Fibreboard or any settlement agreements made with respect to such insurance policies; (ii) nothing in the Plan or Confirmation Order shall be deemed to waive any claims, defenses, rights, or causes of action that OCD, Fibreboard, or their insurers have or may have under the provisions, terms, conditions, defenses and/or exclusions contained in such insurance policies or settlement agreements, including, but not limited to, any and all claims, defenses, rights or causes of action based upon or arising out of Asbestos Personal Injury Claims, OC Property Damage Claims, or FB Property Damage Claims that are liquidated, resolved, discharged, channeled or paid in connection with the Plan; and (iii) nothing in the Confirmation Order or the Plan (including any other provision that purports to be preemptory or supervening), shall in any way operate to or have the effect of, impairing the insurers’ legal, equitable or contractual rights, if any, in any respect, and the rights of insurers shall be determined under insurance policies and settlement agreements as applicable.

The express references to Affiliated FM and Allianz in the preceding sentence shall not give rise to any inference that other settling insurers are not entitled to similar protections.

ARTICLE VIII

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

 

  8.1 Distributions for Claims Allowed as of the Initial Distribution Date

Except as otherwise provided herein or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, distributions to be made on account of Claims that are Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date shall be made on, or as soon as practicable after, the Initial Distribution Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, distributions on account of Administrative Claims that are Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date shall be made on, or as soon as practicable after, the Effective Date, with no action to enforce a right to such payment until at least thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, distributions on account of (i) Class A7 and B8 Claims shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust Agreement and the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust Distribution Procedures, and (ii) Class B9 Claims shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the FB Asbestos

 

156


Property Damage Trust Agreement and the FB Asbestos Property Damage Trust Distribution Procedures. Distributions on account of Claims that first become Allowed Claims after the Effective Date shall be made pursuant to Section 9.4 of the Plan. Notwithstanding the date on which any distribution of New OCD Securities is actually made to a holder of a Claim that is an Allowed Claim on the Effective Date, as of the date of the distribution such holder shall be deemed to have the rights of a holder of such securities distributed as of the Initial Distribution Date; provided, however, that for purposes of determining accrual of interest or rights in respect of any other payment from and after the Effective Date, the Rights Offering Shares to be issued under the Rights Offering pursuant to the Plan shall be deemed issued as of the Effective Date (or, if applicable, Initial Distribution Date) regardless of the date on which they are actually dated, authenticated or distributed.

 

  8.2 Interest on Claims

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust Distribution Procedures, or required by applicable bankruptcy law, post-petition interest shall not accrue or be paid on Claims, and no holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim. Interest shall not accrue or be paid upon any Disputed Claim in respect of the period from the Petition Date to the date a final distribution is made thereon if and after such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

 

  8.3 Distributions under the Plan

(a) The Disbursing Agent or, in the case of the Bondholders Claims, the appropriate Pre-petition Indenture Trustee, shall make all distributions required under the Plan, except to holders of Asbestos Personal Injury Claims and FB Asbestos Property Damage Claims. Asbestos Personal Injury Claims shall be satisfied in accordance with the distribution procedures described in the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust Agreement and the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust Distribution Procedures. FB Asbestos Property Damage Claims shall be satisfied in accordance with the distribution procedures described in the FB Asbestos Property Damage Trust Agreement and the FB Asbestos Property Damage Trust Distribution Procedures.

(b) If the Disbursing Agent is an independent third party designated by the Reorganized Debtors to serve in such capacity, such Disbursing Agent shall be entitled to receive, without further Bankruptcy Court approval, reasonable compensation for distribution services rendered pursuant to the Plan as well as reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with rendering such services from the Reorganized Debtors on terms acceptable to the Reorganized Debtors. No Disbursing Agent shall be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

 

  8.4 Record Date for Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims (Other Than Asbestos Personal Injury Claims or FB Asbestos Property Damage Claims)

At the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the transfer records for Claims (other than Asbestos Personal Injury Claims or FB Asbestos Property Damage Claims),

 

157


including the Bank Holders Claims and Bondholders Claims, shall be closed, and there shall be no further changes in the record holders of such Claims. None of the Reorganized Debtors, the Disbursing Agent, if any, CSFB, as agent for the Bank Holders nor the applicable Pre-petition Indenture Trustee under the Pre-petition Bond Indenture for the Bondholders shall have any obligation to recognize any transfer of Allowed Claims, including, without limitation, Allowed Bank Holders Claims or Allowed Bondholders Claims, as applicable, occurring after the Distribution Record Date, and they shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal for all purposes hereunder with only those record holders as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date.

Distributions to holders of Bondholder Claims administered by the Pre-petition Indenture Trustees shall be made by means of book-entry exchange through the facilities of the Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”) in accordance with the customary practices of the DTC, as and to the extent practicable. In connection with such book-entry exchange, each Pre-petition Indenture Trustee shall deliver instructions to the DTC directing the DTC to effect distributions (net of Pre-petition Indenture Trustee fees and expenses) on a pro rata basis as provided under the Plan with respect to the Bondholder Claims upon which such Indenture Trustee acts as trustee.

 

  8.5 Means of Cash Payment

Cash payments made pursuant to the Plan shall be in United States funds by means agreed to by the payor and the payee, including by check or wire transfer, or, in the absence of an agreement, such commercially reasonable manner as the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Disbursing Agent, or, as applicable, such other payor shall determine in their sole discretion.

 

  8.6 Fractional New OCD Common Stock; Other Distributions

(a) No fractional shares of New OCD Common Stock shall be issued or distributed under the Plan. If any distribution pursuant to the Plan would otherwise result in the issuance of New OCD Common Stock that is not a whole number, the actual distribution of shares of such stock shall be rounded to the next higher or lower whole number as follows: (i) fractions of greater than one-half ( 1/2) shall be rounded to the next higher whole number, and (ii) fractions of one-half ( 1/2) or less shall be rounded to the next lower whole number. The total number of shares of New OCD Common Stock to be distributed pursuant to the Plan shall be adjusted as necessary to account for the rounding provided for herein.

(b) No consideration shall be provided in lieu of fractional shares that are rounded down.

(c) In addition, the payment of fractions of dollars shall not be made. Whenever any payment of a fraction of a dollar under the Plan would otherwise be called for, the actual payment made shall reflect a rounding of the fraction to the nearest whole dollar (up and down), with half dollars rounded down.

(d) The Disbursing Agent, or any agent or servicer, as the case may be, shall not make any payment of less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) with respect to any Claim.

 

158


  8.7 Delivery of Distributions

Distributions to holders of Allowed Claims in all Classes other than Classes A7, B8 and B9 shall be made by the Disbursing Agent or the applicable Pre-petition Indenture Trustee, as the case may be. If any holder’s distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such holder shall be made until the Disbursing Agent (or Pre-petition Indenture Trustee as applicable) is notified of such holder’s then current address, at which time all missed distributions shall be made to such holder without interest. Amounts in respect of undeliverable distributions made by the Disbursing Agent (or the Pre-petition Indenture Trustee as applicable) shall be returned to the Reorganized Debtors until such distributions are claimed. All the claims for undeliverable distributions made by the Disbursing Agent or the Pre-petition Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, must be made on or before the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date, after which date all unclaimed property shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors free of any restrictions thereon and the claim of any holder or successor to such holder with respect to such property shall be discharged and forever barred, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. Nothing contained in the Plan shall require the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, any Disbursing Agent, the Administrative Agent for the Bank Holders or any Pre-petition Indenture Trustee to attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed Claim after the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date.

 

  8.8 Surrender of Pre-petition Bonds

 

  (a) Pre-petition Bonds

Except as provided in Section 8.8(b) hereof in connection with lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Pre-petition Bonds, each holder of an Allowed Claim evidenced by a Pre-petition Bond shall tender such Pre-petition Bond to the respective Pre-petition Indenture Trustee in accordance with written instructions to be provided in a letter of transmittal to such holders by the Pre-petition Indenture Trustee as promptly as practicable following the Effective Date. Such letter of transmittal shall specify that delivery of such Pre-petition Bonds will be effected, and risk of loss and title thereto will pass, only upon the proper delivery of such Pre-petition Bonds with the letter of transmittal in accordance with such instructions. Such letter of transmittal shall also include, among other provisions, customary provisions with respect to the authority of the holder of the applicable note or Pre-petition Bonds to act and the authenticity of any signatures required on the letter of transmittal. All surrendered Pre-petition Bonds shall be marked as cancelled and delivered by the respective Pre-petition Indenture Trustee to the Reorganized Debtors.

 

  (b) Lost, Mutilated or Destroyed Pre-petition Bonds

In addition to any requirements under the applicable certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws of the applicable Debtor, any holder of indebtedness or obligation of a Debtor evidenced by a Pre-petition Bond that has been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed shall, in lieu of surrendering the Pre-petition Bond, deliver to the Pre-petition Indenture Trustee (i) evidence satisfactory to the Pre-petition Indenture Trustee of the loss, theft, mutilation or destruction; and (ii) such indemnity as may be required by the Pre-petition Indenture Trustee to hold the Pre-petition Indenture Trustee harmless from any damages, liabilities or costs incurred in treating such individual as a holder of a Pre-petition Bond.

 

159


  (c) Failure to Surrender Cancelled Pre-petition Bonds

Any holder of a Pre-petition Bond that fails to surrender or be deemed to have surrendered such Pre-petition Bond before the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date shall have its Claim for a distribution on account of such Pre-petition Bond discharged and shall be forever barred from asserting any such Claim against any Reorganized Debtor or their respective property.

 

  (d) Distributions upon Receipt of Pre-petition Bonds

No distribution of property under the Plan shall be made to or on behalf of any such holders unless and until such Pre-petition Bond is received by the appropriate Pre-petition Indenture Trustee, or the unavailability of such Pre-petition Bond is established to the reasonable satisfaction of the appropriate Pre-petition Indenture Trustee or such requirement is waived by the Reorganized Debtors.

 

  8.9 Withholding and Reporting Requirements

In connection with the Plan and all distributions thereunder, the Disbursing Agent shall, to the extent applicable, comply with all tax withholding and backup withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, provincial, local or foreign taxing authority, and all distributions thereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. The Disbursing Agent shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements.

 

  8.10 Setoffs

The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors may, but shall not be required to, pursuant to Section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law, set off against any Allowed Claim and the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant hereto on account of such Claim (before any distribution is made on account of such Allowed Claim), the claims, equity interests, rights and causes of action of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may hold against the holder of such Allowed Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors of any such claims, equity interests, rights and causes of action that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may possess against any such holder, except as specifically provided herein.

 

160


ARTICLE IX

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED,

CONTINGENT AND UNLIQUIDATED CLAIMS AND DISPUTED INTERESTS

 

  9.1 Prosecution of Objections to Certain Claims

(a) Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, only the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent shall have the authority to file objections to settle, compromise, withdraw or litigate objections to Claims, other than with respect to (i) the applications for the allowance of compensation and reimbursement of expenses of professionals under Section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) Asbestos Personal Injury Claims, and (iii) FB Asbestos Property Damage Claims, provided, however, that in the event the Disbursing Agent is not one of the Reorganized Debtors, then the Disbursing Agent shall reasonably consult with a designated representative of Reorganized OCD with respect to the settlement or compromise of the foregoing claims on such terms and conditions as may be mutually satisfactory to the Disbursing Agent and Reorganized OCD.

(b) From and after the Confirmation Date, the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

(c) All objections to Claims, other than Asbestos Personal Injury Claims and FB Asbestos Property Damage Claims, must be filed and served on the holders of such Claims by the Claims Objection Deadline. Nothing contained herein, however, shall limit the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ right to object to any Claims, other than Asbestos Personal Injury Claims and FB Asbestos Property Damage Claims, filed or amended after the Claims Objection Deadline. If an objection has not been filed to a Proof of Claim or a scheduled Claim, other than Asbestos Personal Injury Claims and FB Asbestos Property Damage Claims, by the Claims Objection Deadline, the Claim to which the Proof of Claim or scheduled Claim relates will be treated as an Allowed Claim if such Claim has not been Allowed earlier.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, the Debtors shall not be required to take any further action with respect to any proofs of claim filed against any of the Debtors on account of asserted Asbestos Personal Injury Claims. As set forth in Sections 5.17(b), 10.4 and 11.4 hereof, all Asbestos Personal Injury Claims against any and all of the Debtors shall be exclusively channeled to the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust, and shall be subject to the Asbestos Personal Injury Channeling Injunction.

 

  9.2 No Distributions Pending Allowance

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, no payments or distributions shall be made with respect to all or any portion of a Disputed Claim unless and until all objections to such Disputed Claim have been settled or withdrawn or have been determined by Final Order, and the Disputed Claim, or some portion thereof, has become an Allowed Claim.

 

161


  9.3 Disputed Distribution Reserve

(a) On, or as soon as practicable after, the Initial Distribution Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall transmit to the Disputed Distribution Reserve Cash in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Face Amount of each Administrative Claim, Priority Tax Claim, Other Priority Claim, Other Secured Tax Claim, Other Secured Claim and Convenience Claim that is a Disputed Claim as of the Effective Date, or (ii) such lesser amount for any such Disputed Claim that may be agreed upon by the holder of such Disputed Claim and the Reorganized Debtors, or that may be approved by the Bankruptcy Court at or prior to the Confirmation Hearing. The Disbursing Agent shall reserve for the account of each holder of a Disputed Claim described in the immediately preceding sentence, Cash in the Face Amount thereof (or such lesser amount as such holder and the Reorganized Debtors may agree or as may be approved by the Bankruptcy Court at or prior to the Confirmation Hearing); provided, however, that the Cash transmitted to, and reserved by, the Disbursing Agent pursuant to this Section 9.3(a) may be held by the Disbursing Agent in a single interest bearing account, fund or reserve (provided further, however, that separate book entries for each Claim shall be maintained by the Disbursing Agent) to be established and maintained by the Disbursing Agent pending resolution of the Disputed Claims described in this Section 9.3(a).

(b) In addition, on, or as soon as practicable after, the Initial Distribution Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall transmit to the Disputed Distribution Reserve:

 

  (i) in the event Class A5 rejects the Plan, the Reserved OCD Distribution Package; or

 

  (ii) in the event Class A5 accepts the Plan, (x) Cash in an amount equal to the Reserved OCD Distribution Amount, in the event either or both of Class A6-A and Class A6-B rejects the Plan; (y) the Reserved Class A6-A Aggregate Amount, in the event Class A6-A accepts the Plan; and (z) the Reserved Class A6-B Aggregate Amount, in the event Class A6-B accepts the Plan.

Moreover, each of the Reserved OCD Distribution Package, the Reserved OCD Distribution Amount, the Reserved Class A6-A Aggregate Amount and the Reserved Class A6-B Aggregate Amount, to the extent applicable, shall be set aside and segregated from the property received by the Disbursing Agent pursuant to Sections 9.3(a) and 9.3(c); provided, however, that the Cash portion of any of the foregoing may be held by the Disbursing Agent in a single interest bearing account, fund or reserve (provided further, however, that separate book entries for each Claim shall be maintained by the Disbursing Agent) to be established and maintained by the Disbursing

 

162


Agent pending resolution of the Disputed Claims described in this Section 9.3(b). Without limiting the foregoing, at all times after the Initial Distribution Date, (i) the holders of Disputed Class A6-A and A6-B Claims shall have the sole right to the Reserved OCD Distribution Package or the Reserved OCD Distribution Amount, to the extent applicable, (ii) the holders of Disputed Class A6-A Claims shall have the sole right to the Reserved Class A6-A Aggregate Amount, to the extent applicable, and (iii) the holders of Disputed Class A6-B Claims shall have the sole right to the Reserved Class A6-B Aggregate Amount, to the extent applicable, in the Disputed Distribution Reserve.

(c) In addition, on, or as soon as practicable after, the Initial Distribution Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall transmit to the Disputed Distribution Reserve Cash in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of (i) the Face Amount of each Class B6 through Class U6 Claim that is a Disputed Claim as of the Effective Date, or (ii) such lesser amount for any such Disputed Claim that may be agreed upon by the holder of such Disputed Claim and the Reorganized Debtors, or that may be approved by the Bankruptcy Court at or prior to the Confirmation Hearing. The Disbursing Agent shall reserve for the account of each holder of a Disputed Claim in each of the respective Classes B6-U6, Cash in an amount equal to (i) the Face Amount of such Disputed Claim, or (ii) such lesser amount for any such Disputed Claim that may be agreed upon by the holder of such Disputed Claim and the Reorganized Debtors, or that may be approved by the Bankruptcy Court at or prior to the Confirmation Hearing; provided, however, that the Cash transmitted to, and reserved by, the Disbursing Agent pursuant to this Section 9.3(c) may be held by the Disbursing Agent in a single interest bearing account, fund or reserve (provided further, however, that separate book entries for each Claim shall be maintained by the Disbursing Agent) to be established and maintained by the Disbursing Agent pending resolution of the Disputed Claims described in this Section 9.3(c).

 

  9.4 Distributions on Account of Disputed Claims Once They are Allowed

Any Cash transmitted to the Disputed Distribution Reserve pursuant to Section 9.3(a) above, which is remaining in the Disputed Distribution Reserve after all distributions on account of Claims described in Section 9.3(a) have been made, shall constitute, and shall be deemed to constitute, Excess Available Cash.

 

163


(c) Pursuant to Sections 3.3(d) and 3.3(e) of the Plan, and subject to Section 8.2 of the Plan, the Disbursing Agent shall distribute to each holder of a Disputed Class A6-A or Class A6-B Claim, as the case may be, which becomes an Allowed Claim after the Effective Date, property from the Disputed Distribution Reserve that would have been distributed to the holder of such Claim had such Claim been an Allowed Claim as of the Effective Date. The source and nature of such distributions shall be as follows:

 

  (i) in the event Class A5 rejects the Plan, all distributions to holders of Disputed Class A6-A and Class A6-B Claims which become Allowed Claims after the Effective Date shall be made from the Reserved OCD Distribution Package and shall be in the Standard Combination of Cash and New OCD Common Stock;

  (iv) in the event Class A5 accepts that Plan and either or both of Class A6-A and Class A6-B rejects the Plan, all distributions to holders of Disputed Claims in such rejecting Class which become Allowed Claims after the Effective Date shall be made in Cash from the Reserved OCD Distribution Amount.

(d) Pursuant to Sections 3.4(c), 3.5(c), 3.6(c), 3.7(c), 3.8(c), 3.9(c), 3.10(c), 3.11(c), 3.12(b), 3.13(b), 3.14(b), 3.15(b), 3.16(b), 3.17(b), 3.18(b), 3.19(b), 3.20(b), 3.21(b), 3.22(b), and 3.23(b) of the Plan, and subject to Section 8.2 of the Plan, the Disbursing Agent shall distribute to each holder of a Disputed Claim in each of the respective Classes B6-U6, which becomes an Allowed Claim after the Effective Date, Cash from the Disputed Distribution Reserve in an amount equal to the Allowed amount of such Claim (excluding post-petition interest). Any Cash transmitted to the Disputed Distribution Reserve pursuant to Section 9.3(c) above, which is remaining in the Disputed Distribution Reserve after all distributions on account of Claims described in Section 9.3(c) have been made, shall constitute, and shall be deemed to constitute, Excess Available Cash.

  (iii) if Classes A5 and A6-B both accept the Plan, any remaining portion of the Reserved Class A6-B Aggregate Amount to holders of Allowed Claims in Class A6-B, pursuant to Section 3.3(e)(ii)(D) of the Plan.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

  14.1 Professional Fee Claims

All final requests for compensation or reimbursement of the fees of any professional employed in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to Section 327 or 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, including the professionals seeking compensation or reimbursement of costs and expenses relating to services performed after the Petition Date and prior to and including the Effective Date in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, pursuant to Sections 327, 328, 330, 331, 503(b) or 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code for services rendered to the Debtors, the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee, the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee, the Future Claimants’ Representative, the advisors to the Bank Holders’ sub-committee and the advisors to the Bondholders’ and trade creditors’ sub-committee prior to the Effective Date and Claims for making a substantial contribution under Section 503(b)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code must be filed

 

182


and served on the Reorganized Debtors and their counsel not later than sixty (60) days after the Effective Date, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. Objections to applications of such professionals or other entities for compensation or reimbursement of expenses must be filed and served on the Reorganized Debtors and their counsel and the requesting professional or other entity not later than twenty (20) days after the date on which the applicable application for compensation or reimbursement was served; provided, however, that the fee auditor appointed in these Chapter 11 Cases shall have up to sixty (60) days after the date on which the applicable application for compensation or reimbursement was served to file and serve an Objection thereto. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting the right of the United States Trustee to be heard under Section 307 or 502(a) of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to any Professional Fee Claims or other similar claims or requests for payment of administrative expenses.

 

  14.2 Administrative Claims Bar Date

All requests for payment of an Administrative Claim (other than as set forth in Sections 3.1 and 14.1 of the Plan) must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on counsel for the Debtors not later than forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date. Unless the Debtors object to an Administrative Claim within forty-five (45) days after receipt, such Administrative Claim shall be deemed Allowed in the amount requested. In the event that the Debtors object to an Administrative Claim, the Bankruptcy Court shall determine the Allowed amount of such Administrative Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no request for payment of an Administrative Claim need be filed with respect to an Administrative Claim which is paid or payable by a Debtor in the ordinary course of business.

 

  14.3 Payment of Statutory Fees

All fees payable pursuant to Section 1930 of title 28 of the United States Code, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing, shall be paid on or before the Effective Date. After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall pay all required fees pursuant to Section 1930 of title 28 of the United States Code or any other statutory requirement and comply with all statutory reporting requirements.

 

  14.4 Modifications and Amendments

The Plan Proponents may alter, amend or modify the Plan or any exhibits or schedules thereto under Section 1127(a) of the Bankruptcy Code at any time prior to the Confirmation Date. After the Confirmation Date and prior to substantial consummation of the Plan, as defined in Section 1101(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan Proponents may, under Section 1127(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, institute proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court to remedy any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistencies in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or the Confirmation Order, and to seek approval of such matters as may be necessary to carry out the purposes and effects of the Plan so long as such proceedings do not materially adversely affect the treatment of holders of Claims under the Plan; provided, however, that prior notice of such proceedings shall be served in accordance with the Bankruptcy Rules or order of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

183


  14.5 Severability of Plan Provisions

If, prior to the Confirmation Date, any term or provision herein is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court, at the request of the Plan Proponents, shall have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, and such term or provision shall then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated by such holding, alteration or interpretation. The Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision herein, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms.

 

  14.6 Successors and Assigns

The rights, benefits and obligations of any Person named or referred to in the Plan shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of, any heir, executor, administrator, successor, trustee or assign of such Person.

 

  14.7 Compromises and Settlements

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 9019(a), the Debtors may compromise and settle various Claims (other than Asbestos Personal Injury Claims and FB Asbestos Property Damage Claims) against them and/or claims that they may have against other Persons. The Debtors shall have the right (with Bankruptcy Court approval, following appropriate notice and opportunity for a hearing) to compromise and settle Claims against them and claims that they may have against other Persons up to and including the Effective Date. After the Effective Date, such right shall pass to the Reorganized Debtors pursuant to the provisions of Article V of the Plan.

 

  14.8 Corrective Action

The Debtors are authorized to take such actions as necessary and appropriate to carry out the Plan, including the correction of mistakes or other inadvertent action. In making distributions or transfers under the Plan, the Debtors may seek return of transfers to the extent of any errors, notwithstanding that the transfer is otherwise irrevocable under the Plan.

 

  14.9 Discharge of the Debtors

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Confirmation Order, all consideration distributed under the Plan and the treatment of the Claims thereunder shall be, and shall be deemed to be, in exchange for, and in complete satisfaction, settlement, discharge, and release of, all Claims or other obligations, suits, judgments, damages, debts, rights, remedies, causes of action or liabilities (other than Demands), or Interests or other rights of an equity security holder, relating to any of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors or their respective Estates, and regardless of whether any property will have been distributed or retained pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claims or other obligations, suits, judgments, damages, debts, rights,

 

184


remedies, causes of action or liabilities (other than Demands), or Interests or other rights of an equity security holder, and upon the Effective Date, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall (i) be deemed discharged under Section 1141(d)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and released from any and all Claims or other obligations, suits, judgments, damages, debts, rights, remedies, causes of action or liabilities or Interests or other rights of an equity security holder of any nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, liabilities that arose before the Confirmation Date, and all debts of the kind specified in Sections 502(g), 502(h) or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, whether or not (a) a Proof of Claim based upon such debt is filed or deemed filed under Section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) a Claim based upon such debt is Allowed under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (c) the holder of a Claim based upon such debt voted to accept the Plan and (ii) terminate all rights and interests of holders of OCD Interests and the Integrex Interests; provided, however, that the discharge provided in respect of the Bank Holders’ Claims pursuant to clause (i) above shall become effective immediately upon the Debtors’ delivery of the Initial Bank Holders’ Distribution.

(b) As of the Confirmation Date, except as otherwise provided herein or in the Confirmation Order, all Persons shall be precluded from asserting against each of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and their respective Related Persons any other or further Claims or other obligations, suits, judgments, damages, debts, Demands, rights, remedies, causes of action or liabilities or Interests or other rights of an equity security holder relating to any of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors or their respective Estates based upon any act, omission, transaction or other activity of any nature that occurred prior to the Confirmation Date; provided, however, that the foregoing shall apply to the Bank Holders immediately upon the Debtors’ delivery of the Initial Bank Holders’ Distribution. In accordance with the foregoing, except as otherwise provided herein or in the Confirmation Order, the Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of discharge of all such Claims or other obligations, suits, judgments, damages, debts, rights, remedies, causes of action or liabilities (other than Demands) or Interests or other rights of an equity security holder against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors or their respective Estates and termination of all OCD Interests and Integrex Interests, pursuant to Sections 524 and 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, and such discharge shall void any judgment obtained against any of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors or their respective Estates at any time, to the extent that such judgment relates to a discharged Claim or terminated OCD Interest or Integrex Interest.

(c) Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1141(d)(1), the Debtors and the Internal Revenue Service agree that the confirmation of the Plan does not discharge any liabilities to the Internal Revenue Service that may be due from the any of Debtors after the Petition Date and prior to the Confirmation Date. Should any such tax liabilities be determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be due from any of the Debtors, such liabilities shall be determined administratively or in a judicial forum in the manner in which such liabilities would have been resolved had the Chapter 11 Cases not been commenced. Any resulting liabilities shall be paid as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced.

(d) The foregoing discharge, release and injunction is an integral part of the Plan and is essential to its implementation. Each of the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall have the right to independently seek the enforcement of the discharge, release and injunction set forth in this Section 14.9.

 

185


  14.10 Non-Binding Effect of Estimation of Asbestos Personal Injury Claims in the Chapter 11 Cases on Certain OCD Insurers

(a) The estimation of the OC Asbestos Personal Injury Claims as set forth in the OCD Asbestos Personal Injury Estimation Order shall not be binding on, and shall have no collateral estoppel effect on, the Non-Participating Insurers and Century Indemnity regarding the insurance coverage obligations of the Non-Participating Insurers and Century Indemnity (or any of them) in any coverage dispute or coverage litigation. In addition, the estimation set forth in the OCD Asbestos Personal Injury Estimation Order shall not be offered into evidence or cited or argued to a jury (or other trier of fact in an alternative dispute resolution pursuant to the Wellington Agreement) by any of the Debtors, the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee, the Future Claimants’ Representatives or the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust in any coverage litigation, alternative dispute resolution, or other coverage proceeding with the Non-Participating Insurers or Century Indemnity. Further, none of the Debtors, the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee, the Future Claimants’ Representatives or the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust, nor any entities created pursuant to this Plan may argue or assert, in any court proceeding (or alternative dispute resolution pursuant to the Wellington Agreement) involving the Non-Participating Insurers or Century Indemnity and issues related to insurance coverage, that any findings or conclusions contained in the OCD Asbestos Personal Injury Estimation Order or referenced in any decision, order, finding, conclusion or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court or the District Court (including the Confirmation Order) constitutes a judgment, adjudication, final order, settlement, or finding of liability binding upon any Debtor for any purpose concerning insurance coverage under any policies issued by the Non-Participating Insurers or Century Indemnity for any Asbestos Personal Injury Claims. The District Court’s findings in the OCD Asbestos Personal Injury Estimation Order, with respect to the Non-Participating Insurers or Century Indemnity, shall apply only to Plan confirmation issues and not to issues of insurance coverage.

(b) The provisions set forth in Section 14.10(a) shall not apply in favor of any specific Non-Participating Insurer or Century Indemnity that argues in a coverage proceeding that a negative inference should be drawn from the failure of the Debtors, the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee, the Future Claimants’ Representatives or the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust to offer into evidence or to cite to a jury (or other trier of fact in an alternative dispute resolution pursuant to the Wellington Agreement) or argue to a jury (or other trier of fact in an alternative dispute resolution pursuant to the Wellington Agreement) an estimation decision from the Chapter 11 Cases.

 

  14.11 Special Provisions for Warranty Claims, Distributorship Indemnification Claims, Product Coupon Claims and Mira Vista Claims

(a) The Debtors (or, as the case may be, the Reorganized Debtors) shall have the right after the Confirmation Date to fulfill any pre-Petition Date and pre-Confirmation Date warranty claims based on the Debtors’ (or, as the case may be, the Reorganized Debtors’) business judgment notwithstanding discharge of the Claims and release of the Debtors pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code and the Plan; provided, however, that neither the Debtors nor the Reorganized Debtors shall assume (or shall be deemed to have assumed) any warranty or other obligations, responsibilities, or liabilities relating to underground storage tanks.

 

186


(b) The Debtors (or as the case may be the Reorganized Debtors) shall have the right after the Confirmation Date to fulfill any pre-Petition Date product coupons issued in settlement of asbestos property damage actions based on the Debtors’ (or, as the case may be, the Reorganized Debtors’) business judgment notwithstanding discharge of the Claims and release of the Debtors pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code and the Plan.

(c) The Debtors shall have the right after the Confirmation Date to fulfill any pre-Petition Date and pre-Confirmation Date distributorship indemnification claims that are not Asbestos Personal Injury Claims or FB Asbestos Property Damage Claims based on the Debtors’ business judgment notwithstanding discharge of the Claims and release of the Debtors pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code and the Plan.

(d) If the MiraVista Class Action Settlement Agreement is approved by the Bankruptcy Court and/or the District Court (as appropriate) and becomes effective, then the MiraVista Claims shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions of the MiraVista Class Action Settlement Agreement and any court orders or judgments relating thereto, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan or the Confirmation Order. If the MiraVista Class Action Settlement Agreement is not approved by the Bankruptcy Court and/or the District Court (as appropriate) or otherwise does not become effective, then the MiraVista Claims shall receive the same treatment under the Plan as they would have received in the absence of the MiraVista Class Action Settlement Agreement.

 

  14.12 Miscellaneous Settlement Agreements

(a) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan or Confirmation Order, the provisions of the Environmental Settlement Agreement shall govern matters covered by such settlement.

The professionals retained by each of the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee and the Asbestos Claimants’ Committee and the respective members thereof shall not be entitled to compensation or reimbursement of expenses for any services rendered after the Effective Date, except (i) as authorized in the preceding sentence or (ii) to the extent such services are rendered in connection with the hearing on final allowances of compensation pursuant to Section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

187


(b) Future Claimants’ Representative

On the Effective Date, the existence of the Future Claimants’ Representative and his rights to ongoing reimbursement of expenses and the rights of his professionals to ongoing compensation and reimbursement of expenses shall continue after the Effective Date only for (i) the purposes set forth in the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust Agreement and the annexes thereto and (ii) the purposes of completing any matters, including, without limitation, litigation or negotiations, pending as of the Effective Date, and shall otherwise terminate on the Effective Date.

 

  14.14 Binding Effect

  14.15 Revocation, Withdrawal, or Non-Consummation

The Plan Proponents reserve the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan at any time prior to the Confirmation Date and to file subsequent or further amended plans of reorganization.

  14.16 Plan Exhibits

Any and all exhibits to the Plan or other lists or schedules not filed with the Plan shall be filed with the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Objection Deadline, unless the Plan provides otherwise.

WHEREAS, at the time of the entry of the order for relief in the Chapter 11 case, Owens Corning (“OC”)and its wholly-owned subsidiary Fibreboard Corporation (“Fibreboard”) were named as a defendants in actions involving personal injury (“PI”) or death claims caused by exposure to asbestos-containing products for which OC and Fibreboard, their predecessors, successors and assigns have legal liability (“OC Asbestos Personal Injury Claims” and “Fibreboard Asbestos Personal Injury Claims” as defined in the Plan and collectively referred to herein as “Asbestos Personal Injury Claims” or “PI Trust Claims”); and


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

WHEREAS, the Plan has been confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court; and

WHEREAS, the Plan provides, inter alia, for the creation of the Asbestos Personal Injury Settlement Trust (“PI Trust”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Plan, the PI Trust is to use its assets and income to satisfy all Asbestos Personal Injury Claims; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Plan, the PI Trust shall be funded with the consideration described in Section 10.3 of the Plan;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Plan, the PI Trust will use that consideration to establish two separate Sub-Accounts, the OC Sub-Account which shall be funded with the consideration described in Section 10.3(a) of the Plan, and the Fibreboard Sub-Account which shall be funded with the consideration described in Section 10.3(b) of the Plan;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Plan, OC Asbestos Personal Injury Claims shall be paid from the OC Sub-Account and Fibreboard Asbestos Personal Injury Claims shall be paid from the Fibreboard Sub-Account;

WHEREAS, all rights of the holders of PI Trust Claims arising under this PI Trust Agreement and the TDP shall vest upon the Effective Date; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Plan, the PI Trust is intended to qualify as a “qualified settlement fund” within the meaning of Section 1.468B-1 et seq. of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 468B of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”); and

WHEREAS, the Bankruptcy Court has determined that the PI Trust and the Plan satisfy all the prerequisites for an injunction pursuant to Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, and such injunction has been entered in connection with the Confirmation Order;

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

SECTION 1

AGREEMENT OF TRUST

1.1 Creation and Name. OC as Settlor hereby creates a trust known as the Owens Corning/Fibreboard Asbestos Personal Injury Trust or PI Trust, which is provided for and referred to in the Plan. The Trustees of the PI Trust may transact the business and affairs of the PI Trust in the name of the PI Trust. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the trust created hereby constitute a statutory trust under Chapter 38 of title 12 of the Delaware Code, 12 Del. C. § 3801 et seq. (the “Act”) and that this document, together with the by-laws described herein, constitute the governing instruments of the PI Trust. The Trustees and the Delaware Trustee are hereby authorized and directed to execute and file a Certificate of Trust with the Delaware Secretary of State in the form attached hereto.

 

- 3 -


1.2 Purpose. The purpose of the PI Trust is to assume the liabilities of OC and Fibreboard, their predecessors and successors in interest, for all PI Trust Claims (as defined in the Plan), and to use the PI Trust Assets and income to pay the holders of all PI Trust Claims in accordance with this PI Trust Agreement and the TDP in such a way that such holders of PI Trust Claims are treated fairly, equitably and reasonably in light of the limited assets available to satisfy such claims, and to otherwise comply in all respects with the requirements of a trust set forth in Section 524(g)(2)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code.

1.3 Transfer of Assets. Pursuant to the Plan, the PI Trust Share (as defined in the Plan) has been transferred and assigned to the PI Trust to settle and discharge all Asbestos Personal Injury Claims. Pursuant to the Plan, OC, its successors in interest thereto, from and after the Effective Date (“Reorganized OC”) and others may also transfer and assign additional assets to the PI Trust from time to time (the “PI Trust Assets”). In all events, the PI Trust Assets will be transferred to the PI Trust free and clear of any liens or other claims by OC, Reorganized OC, any creditor, or other entity. OC, Reorganized OC, and any other transferors shall also execute and deliver such documents to the PI Trust as the Trustees reasonably request to transfer and assign the PI Trust Assets to the PI Trust.

1.4 Acceptance of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities.

(a) In furtherance of the purposes of the PI Trust, the Trustees, on behalf of the PI Trust, hereby expressly accept the transfer and assignment to the PI Trust of the PI Trust Assets in the time and manner contemplated in the Plan.

(b) In furtherance of the purposes of the PI Trust, the Trustees, on behalf of the PI Trust, expressly assume all liability for all Asbestos Personal Injury Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this PI Trust Agreement and the TDP, the PI Trust shall have all defenses, cross-claims, offsets, and recoupments, as well as rights of indemnification, contribution, subrogation, and similar rights, regarding such claims that OC and Reorganized

 

- 4 -


OC have or would have had under applicable law. Regardless of the foregoing, however, a claimant must meet otherwise applicable federal, state and foreign statutes of limitations and repose, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1(a)(2) of the TDP.

(c) No provision herein or in the TDP shall be construed to mandate distributions on any claims or other actions that would contravene the PI Trust’s compliance with the requirements of a qualified settlement fund within the meaning of section 1.468B-1 et seq. of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under section 468B of the IRC.

(d) OC, Reorganized OC, Fibreboard and Reorganized Fibreboard, and any successor in interest of each of the foregoing, shall be entitled to indemnification from the PI Trust for any expenses, costs, and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, but excluding any such expenses, costs, and fees incurred prior to the Effective Date), judgments, settlements, or other liabilities arising from or incurred in connection with any action related to OC and Fibreboard Asbestos Personal Injury Claims, including, but not limited to, indemnification or contribution for such claims prosecuted against Reorganized OC or Reorganized Fibreboard.

(e) Nothing in this PI Trust Agreement shall be construed in any way to limit the scope, enforceability, or effectiveness of the Section 524(g) injunction issued in connection with the Plan or the PI Trust’s assumption of all liability for PI Trust Claims, subject to the provisions of Section 1.4(b) above.

SECTION 2

(iii) If, after following the procedures specified in this Section 5.7(b), the TAC continues to object to the proposed action and to withhold its consent to the proposed action, the Trustees and/or the TAC shall resolve their dispute pursuant to Section 7.13.

(b) The PI Trust shall automatically dissolve on the date (the “Dissolution Date”) ninety (90) days after the first to occur of the following events:

(iii) to the extent that any rule against perpetuities shall be deemed applicable to the PI Trust, twenty-one (21) years less ninety-one (91) days pass after the death of the last survivor of all of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., of Massachusetts, father of the late President John F. Kennedy, living on the date hereof.

(c) On the Dissolution Date or as soon as reasonably practicable, after the wind-up of the PI Trust’s affairs by the Trustees and payment of all the PI Trust’s liabilities have been provided for as required by applicable law including Section 3808 of the Act, all monies remaining in the PI Trust estate shall be given to such organization(s) exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, which tax-exempt organization(s) shall be selected by the Trustees using their reasonable discretion; provided, however, that (i) if practicable, the activities of the selected tax-exempt organization(s) shall be related to the treatment of, research on, or the relief of suffering of individuals suffering from asbestos related lung disease or disorders, and (ii) the tax-exempt organization(s) shall not bear any relationship to Reorganized OC within the meaning of Section 468B(d)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

- 39 -


7.9 Entire Agreement; No Waiver. The entire agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter of this PI Trust Agreement is contained herein and in the documents referred to herein, and this PI Trust Agreement and such documents supersede any prior oral or written agreements concerning the subject matter hereof. No failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of rights under law or in equity.

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

7.13 Dispute Resolution. Any disputes that arise under this PI Trust Agreement or under the TDP among the parties hereto shall be resolved by submission of the matter to an alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) process mutually agreeable to the parties involved. Should any party to the ADR process be dissatisfied with the decision of the arbitrator(s), that party may apply to the Bankruptcy Court for a judicial determination of the matter. Any review conducted by the Bankruptcy Court shall be de novo. In any case, if the dispute arose pursuant to the consent provision set forth in Section 5.7(b) (in the case of the TAC) or

 

- 40 -


Section 6.6(b) (in the case of the Future Claimants’ Representative), the burden of proof shall be on the party or parties who withheld consent to show that the objection was valid. Should the dispute not be resolved by ADR process within thirty (30) days after submission, the parties are relieved of the requirement to pursue ADR prior to application to the Bankruptcy Court. If the Trustees determine that the matter in dispute is exigent and cannot await the completion of the ADR process, the Trustees shall have the discretion to elect out of the ADR process altogether or at any stage of the process and seek resolution of the dispute in the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding anything else herein contained, to the extent any provision of this PI Trust Agreement is inconsistent with any provision of the Plan or the TDP, the Plan or the TDP, as the case may be, shall control.

7.14 Enforcement and Administration. The provisions of this PI Trust Agreement and the TDP attached hereto shall be enforced by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the Plan. The parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the settlement of the accounts of the Trustees and over any disputes hereunder not resolved by alternative dispute resolution in accordance with Section 7.13 above.

7.15 Effectiveness. This PI Trust Agreement shall not become effective until it has been executed and delivered by all the parties hereto.

7.16 Counterpart Signatures. This PI Trust Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this PI Trust Agreement this      day of                     ,             .

OWENS CORNING/FIBREBOARD

ASBESTOS PERSONAL INJURY TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES

The Asbestos Personal Injury Trust Distribution Procedures (“TDP”) contained herein provide for resolving all Asbestos Personal Injury Claims for which Owens Corning (“OC “) and/or its wholly owned subsidiary, Fibreboard Corporation (“Fibreboard”), and their predecessors, successors, and assigns have legal responsibility (respectively, OC Asbestos Personal Injury Claims (“OC Claims”) and Fibreboard Asbestos Personal Injury Claims (“Fibreboard Claims”), which terms are defined in the Fifth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization for Owens Corning and its Affiliated Debtors and Debtors-in-Possession (“Plan”) (hereinafter collectively referred to in this TDP as “PI Trust Claims”)). The Plan and the Asbestos Personal Injury Trust Agreement (“PI Trust Agreement”) establish the Owens Corning/Fibreboard Asbestos Personal Injury Trust (the “PI Trust”). The Trustees of the PI Trust (“Trustees”) shall implement and administer this TDP in accordance with the PI Trust Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan and the PI Trust Agreement.

SECTION I

Introduction

1.1 Purpose. This TDP has been adopted pursuant to the PI Trust Agreement. It is designed to provide fair, equitable, and substantially similar treatment for all PI Trust Claims that may presently exist or may arise in the future.

1.2 Interpretation. Except as may otherwise be provided below, nothing in this TDP shall be deemed to create a substantive right for any claimant. The rights and benefits, if any, provided herein to holders of PI Trust Claims shall vest in such holders as of the Effective Date.


SECTION II

Overview

2.1 PI Trust Goals. The goal of the PI Trust is to treat all holders of PI Trust Claims equitably and in accordance with the requirements of Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. To achieve that goal, the PI Trust consists of two separate Sub-Accounts, an OC Sub-Account for payment of OC Claims and a Fibreboard Sub-Account for payment of Fibreboard Claims (together the “PI Trust Sub-Accounts”).

A claimant may assert separate claims against the OC Sub-Account and the Fibreboard Sub-Account based on separate exposures to asbestos or asbestos-containing products manufactured or distributed by OC and Fibreboard, respectively (“Multiple Exposure Claims”); however, all such Multiple Exposure Claims must be filed by the claimant at the same time. To the extent that the OC Sub-Account and the Fibreboard Sub-Account each has separate liability to a claimant based on Multiple Exposure Claims, each Sub-Account shall pay the claimant the liquidated value of the separate claim for which it is liable, subject to applicable Payment Percentage, Maximum Annual Payment, Maximum Available Payment and Claims Payment Ratio limitations set forth below.

This TDP sets forth procedures for processing and paying all PI Trust Claims from the two Sub-Accounts generally on an impartial, first-in-first-out (“FIFO”) basis, with the intention of paying all claimants over time as equivalent a share as possible of the value of their claims based on historical values for substantially similar claims in the tort system.1 To this end, this TDP establishes a single schedule of eight asbestos-related diseases (“Disease Levels”), seven of which have presumptive medical and exposure requirements (“Medical/Exposure Criteria”) that are applicable to both OC and Fibreboard Claims, as well as two separate schedules with liquidated values (“Scheduled Values”), anticipated average values (“Average Values”), and caps on liquidated values (“Maximum Values”) that are applicable to OC Claims and Fibreboard Claims, respectively.

 


1 As used in this TDP, the phrase "in the tort system" shall include only claims asserted by way of litigation and not claims asserted against a trust established pursuant to section 524(g) and/or section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law.

 

- 2 -


These Disease Levels, Medical/Exposure Criteria, Scheduled Values, Average Values and Maximum Values, which are set forth in Sections 5.3 and 5.4 below, have all been selected and derived with the intention of achieving a fair allocation of the assets held by the separate OC and Fibreboard Sub-Accounts as among their respective claimants suffering from different disease processes in light of the best available information considering the settlement histories of OC and Fibreboard, and the rights that OC and Fibreboard claimants would have in the tort system absent the bankruptcy.

2.2 Claims Liquidation Procedures. PI Trust Claims shall be processed based on their place in separate FIFO Processing Queues to be established for each of the two PI Trust Sub-Accounts pursuant to Section 5.1(a) below. The PI Trust shall take all reasonable steps to resolve OC and Fibreboard Claims as efficiently and expeditiously as possible at each stage of claims processing and arbitration. To this end, the PI Trust, in its sole discretion, may conduct settlement discussions with claimants’ representatives with respect to more than one claim at a time, provided that the claimants’ respective positions in the FIFO Processing Queues are maintained, and each claim is individually evaluated pursuant to the valuation factors set forth in Section 5.3(b)(2) below. The PI Trust shall also make every effort to resolve each year at least that number of PI Trust Claims required to exhaust the Maximum Annual Payment and the Maximum Available Payment for Category A and Category B claims, as those terms are defined below.

The PI Trust shall liquidate all OC and Fibreboard Claims except Foreign Claims (as defined in Section 5.3(b)(1) below) that meet the presumptive Medical/Exposure Criteria of Disease Levels I – V, VII and VIII under the Expedited Review Process described in Section 5.3(a) below. PI Trust Claims involving Disease Levels I – V, VII and VIII that do not meet the presumptive Medical/Exposure Criteria for the relevant Disease Level may undergo the PI Trust’s Individual Review Process described in Section 5.3(b) below. In such a case, notwithstanding that the claim does not meet the presumptive Medical/Exposure Criteria for the relevant Disease Level, the PI Trust can offer the claimant an amount up to the Scheduled Value of that Disease Level if the PI Trust is satisfied that the claimant has presented a claim that would be cognizable and valid in the tort system.

 

- 3 -


In lieu of liquidating such claimant’s claim under the Expedited Review Process, OC and Fibreboard claimants holding PI Trust Claims involving Disease Levels II - VIII may alternatively seek to establish liquidated values for their claims that are greater than their Scheduled Values by electing the PI Trust’s Individual Review Process. However, the liquidated values of PI Trust Claims that undergo the Individual Review Process for valuation purposes may be determined to be less than the Scheduled Values, and in any event shall not exceed the respective Maximum Values for the Disease Levels set forth for OC and Fibreboard Claims in Section 5.3(b)(4) below, unless the claims qualify as Extraordinary Claims as defined in Section 5.4(a) below, in which case their liquidated value cannot exceed the Maximum Values specified in that provision for such claims. OC and Fibreboard Level VI (Lung Cancer 2) Claims and all Foreign Claims may be liquidated only pursuant to the PI Trust’s Individual Review Process.

Based upon OC ‘s and Fibreboard’s claims settlement history in light of applicable tort law, and current projections of present and future unliquidated claims, the Scheduled Values and Maximum Values set forth in Section 5.3(b)(4) for OC and Fibreboard Claims, respectively, have been established for each of the Disease Levels that are eligible for Individual Review of their liquidated values, with the expectation that the combination of settlements at the Scheduled Values and those resulting from the Individual Review Process should result in the Average Values also set forth in that provision.

All unresolved disputes over a claimant’s medical condition, exposure history and/or the liquidated value of the claim shall be subject to mandatory pro bono evaluation and mediation and then to binding or non-binding arbitration pursuant to Section 5.10 below, at the election of the claimant, under the ADR Procedures that are provided in Attachment A hereto. PI Trust Claims that are the subject of a dispute with the PI Trust that cannot be resolved by non-binding arbitration may enter the tort system as provided in Sections 5.11

 

- 4 -


and 7.6 below. However, if and when an OC or Fibreboard claimant obtains a judgment in the tort system, the judgment will be payable (subject to the Payment Percentage, Maximum Available Payment, and Claims Payment Ratio provisions set forth below) as provided in Section 7.7 below.

2.3 Application of the Payment Percentage. After the liquidated value of an OC or Fibreboard Claim other than a claim involving Other Asbestos Disease (Disease Level I – Cash Discount Payment), as defined in Section 5.3(a)(3) below, is determined pursuant to the procedures set forth herein for Expedited Review, Individual Review, arbitration, or litigation in the tort system, the claimant will ultimately receive a pro-rata share of that value based on the Payment Percentages separately set for OC and Fibreboard Claims pursuant to Section 4.2 below. These Payment Percentages shall also apply to all Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims as provided in Section 5.2 below.

The Initial Payment Percentage for the OC Sub-Account has been set at              percent (            %), and the Initial Payment Percentage for the Fibreboard Sub-Account has been set at              percent (            %). These Initial Payment Percentages shall apply to all OC and Fibreboard PI Trust Voting Claims accepted as valid by the PI Trust, unless adjusted by the PI Trust with the consent of the PI Trust Advisory Committee (“TAC”) and the Legal Representative for Future Asbestos Claimants (“Future Claimants’ Representative”) (who are described in Section 3.1 below) pursuant to Section 4.2 below, and except as provided in Section 4.3 below with respect to supplemental payments in the event an Initial Payment Percentage for a Sub-Account is changed.

The term “PI Trust Voting Claims” includes (i) Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims as provided in Section 5.2 below; (ii) OC and Fibreboard Claims filed against OC and/or Fibreboard in the tort system or actually submitted to OC and/or Fibreboard pursuant to an administrative settlement agreement prior to the Petition Date of October 5, 2000; and (iii) all claims filed against another asbestos defendant in the tort system prior to the date the Plan was first filed with the Bankruptcy Court (January 17, 2003 (the “Plan Filing Date”)), provided,

 

- 5 -


however, that (1) the holder of a claim described in subsection (i), (ii) or (iii) above, or his or her authorized agent, actually voted to accept or reject the Plan pursuant to the voting procedures established by the Bankruptcy Court unless such holder certifies to the satisfaction of the Trustees that he or she was prevented from voting in this proceeding as a result of circumstances resulting in a state of emergency affecting, as the case may be, the holder’s residence, principal place of business or legal representative’s principal place of business at which the holder or his or her legal representative receives notice and/or maintains material records relating to his or her PI Trust Voting Claim, and (2) the claim was subsequently filed with the PI Trust pursuant to Section 6.1 below by the Initial Claims Filing Date as defined in Section 5.1(a) below.

The Initial Payment Percentages for the OC and Fibreboard Sub-Accounts set forth above have been calculated on the assumption that the Average Values set forth in Section 5.3(b)(4) below will be achieved with respect to existing present claims and projected future claims involving Disease Levels II – VIII. However, either or both of these Payment Percentages may be adjusted upwards or downwards from time to time pursuant to Section 4.2 below by the PI Trust with the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative to reflect then-current estimates of the assets and liabilities allocable to OC and Fibreboard Claims, respectively, as well as the then-estimated value of pending and future OC and Fibreboard Claims. However, any adjustment to the Initial Payment Percentages shall be made only pursuant to Section 4.2 below. If the Payment Percentage for either the OC or Fibreboard Sub-Account is increased over time, claimants whose OC or Fibreboard Claims were liquidated and paid in prior periods under the TDP will receive additional payments only as provided in Section 4.3 below. Because there is uncertainty in the prediction of both the number and severity of future claims, and the amount of the PI Trust’s assets, no guarantee can be made of any Payment Percentage for either OC or Fibreboard Claims.

2.4 Determination of the Maximum Annual Payment and Maximum Available Payment. For each of the OC and the Fibreboard Sub-Accounts, the PI Trust shall estimate

 

- 6 -


or model the amount of cash flow anticipated to be necessary over the entire life of the Sub-Account to ensure that amounts will be available to treat all holders of OC and/or Fibreboard Claims as similarly as possible, given the assets and liabilities allocable to each of the two Sub-Accounts. In each year, for each Sub-Account, the PI Trust will be empowered to pay out all of the income earned during the year by the Sub-Account (net of taxes payable with respect thereto), together with a portion of the Sub-Account’s principal, calculated so that the application of the Sub-Account’s assets over its life shall correspond with the needs created by the anticipated flow of claims to the Sub-Account (the “Maximum Annual Payment”), taking into account the Payment Percentage provisions set forth in Section 2.3 above and Sections 4.2 and 4.3 below. The PI Trust’s distributions from each Sub-Account to all holders of claims against the Sub-Account for that year shall not exceed the Maximum Annual Payment determined for that year.

In distributing the Maximum Annual Payment from each Sub-Account, the PI Trust shall first allocate the amount in question to outstanding Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims (as defined in Section 5.2(a) below) against the Sub-Account, and to liquidated claims against the Sub-Account involving Disease Level I (Cash Discount Payment), in proportion to the aggregate value of each group of claims. The remaining portion of the Maximum Annual Payment (the “Maximum Available Payment”), if any, shall then be allocated and used to satisfy all other previously liquidated PI Trust Claims against the Sub-Account, subject to the Claims Payment Ratio for the Sub-Account set forth in Section 2.5 below.

In the event there are insufficient amounts in any year to pay the total number of outstanding Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims and/or previously liquidated Disease Level I Claims against the Sub-Account, the available amounts allocated to that group of claims shall be paid to the maximum extent to claimants in the particular group based on their place in their Sub-Account’s FIFO Payment Queue. Claims in either group for which there are insufficient amounts in the Sub-Account shall be carried over to the next year and placed at the head of the FIFO Payment Queue for that Sub-Account.

 

- 7 -


2.5 Claims Payment Ratio. Based upon OC ‘s and Fibreboard’s claims settlement history and analysis of present and future claims, a single Claims Payment Ratio has been determined for both Sub-Accounts, which, as of the Effective Date, has been set at 65% for Category A claims, which consist of PI Trust Claims against OC and/or Fibreboard involving severe asbestosis and malignancies (Disease Levels IV – VIII) that were unliquidated as of the Petition Date, and at 35% for Category B claims, which are PI Trust Claims against OC and/or Fibreboard involving non-malignant Asbestosis or Pleural Disease (Disease Levels II and III) that were similarly unliquidated as of the Petition Date. However, the Claims Payment Ratio shall not apply to any Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims or to any claims for Other Asbestos Disease (Disease Level I—Cash Discount Payment) payable from either OC or Fibreboard Sub-Accounts.

In each year, after the determination of the Maximum Available Payment described in Section 2.4 above, 65% of that amount will be available to pay Category A claims and 35% will be available to pay Category B claims that have been liquidated since the Petition Date. In the event there are insufficient amounts in either the OC or Fibreboard Sub-Accounts in any year to pay the liquidated claims within either or both of the Categories, the available amounts allocated to the particular Category within the Sub-Account shall be paid to the maximum extent to claimants in that Category based on their place in the Sub-Account’s FIFO Payment Queue described in Section 5.1(c) below, which will be based upon the date of claim liquidation.

Claims for which there are insufficient amounts allocated to the relevant Category within a Sub-Account shall be carried over to the next year where they will be placed at the head of the Sub-Account’s FIFO Payment Queue. If there are excess amounts in either or both Categories within a Sub-Account, because there is an insufficient amount of liquidated claims to exhaust the respective Sub-Account’s Maximum Available Payment amount for that Category, then the excess amounts for either or both Categories will be rolled over and remain dedicated to the respective Category to which they were originally allocated.

 

- 8 -


The 65%/35% Claims Payment Ratio and its rollover provision shall apply to all OC and Fibreboard PI Trust Voting Claims as defined in Section 2.3 above (except Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims and Other Asbestos Claims (Disease Level I – Cash Discount Payment)) and shall not be amended until the third anniversary of the date the PI Trust first accepts for processing proof of claim forms and other materials required to file a claim with the PI Trust. Thereafter, the Sub-Account’s Claims Payment Ratio and its rollover provision shall be continued absent circumstances, such as a significant change in law or medicine, necessitating amendment to avoid a manifest injustice. However, the accumulation, rollover and subsequent delay of claims against one or both Sub-Accounts resulting from the application of the Claims Payment Ratio, shall not, in and of itself, constitute such circumstances. Nor may an increase in the numbers of Category B claims against a Sub-Account beyond those predicted or expected be considered as a factor in deciding whether to reduce the percentage allocated to Category A claims.

In considering whether to make any amendments to the Claims Payment Ratio and/or its rollover provisions for either Sub-Account, the Trustees should also consider the reasons for which the Claims Payment Ratio and its rollover provisions were adopted, the settlement histories of OC and Fibreboard that gave rise to its calculation, and the foreseeability or lack of the foreseeability of the reasons why there would be any need to make an amendment. In that regard, the Trustees should keep in mind the interplay between the Payment Percentage and the Claims Payment Ratio as it affects the net cash actually paid to claimants from either Sub-Account.

In any event, no amendment to the Claims Payment Ratio to reduce the percentage allocated to Category A claims may be made without the unanimous consent of the TAC members and the consent of the Future Claimants’ Representative, and the percentage allocated to Category A claims may not be increased without the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative. In case of any amendments to the Claims Payment Ratio, consents shall be governed by the consent process set forth in Sections 5.7(b) and 6.6(b) of the

 

- 9 -


PI Trust Agreement. The Trustees, with the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative, may offer the option of a reduced Payment Percentage to holders of claims in either Category A or Category B against either Sub-Account in return for prompter payment by the Sub-Account (the “Reduced Payment Option”).

2.6 Indemnity and Contribution Claims. As set forth in Section 5.6 below, PI Trust Claims for indemnity and contribution (defined in the Plan as OC Indirect Asbestos Personal Injury Claims and Fibreboard Indirect Asbestos Personal Injury Claims, and hereinafter referred to as “Indirect PI Trust Claims”) against either the OC or the Fibreboard Sub-Accounts, if any, will be subject to the same categorization, evaluation, and payment provisions of this TDP as all other OC and Fibreboard Claims.

SECTION III

TDP Administration

3.1 PI Trust Advisory Committee and Future Claimants’ Representative. Pursuant to the Plan and the PI Trust Agreement, the PI Trust and this TDP shall be administered by the Trustees in consultation with the TAC, which represents the interests of holders of present PI Trust Claims against OC and Fibreboard, and the Future Claimants’ Representative, who represents the interests of holders of PI Trust Claims against OC and/or Fibreboard that will be asserted in the future. The Trustees shall obtain the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative on any amendments to these Procedures pursuant to Section 8.1 below, and on such other matters as are otherwise required below and in Section 2.2(f) of the PI Trust Agreement. The Trustees shall also consult with the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative on such matters as are provided below and in Section 2.2(e) of the PI Trust Agreement. The initial members of the TAC and the initial Future Claimants’ Representative are identified in the PI Trust Agreement.

3.2 Consent and Consultation Procedures. In those circumstances in which consultation or consent is required, the Trustees will provide written notice to the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative of the specific amendment or other action that is proposed.

 

- 10 -


The Trustees will not implement such amendment nor take such action unless and until the parties have engaged in the Consultation Process described in Sections 5.7(a) and 6.6(a), or the Consent Process described in Sections 5.7(b) and 6.6(b) of the PI Trust Agreement, respectively.

SECTION IV

Payment Percentage; Periodic Estimates

4.1 Uncertainty of OC’s and Fibreboard’s Total Personal Injury Asbestos Liabilities. As discussed above, there is inherent uncertainty regarding OC’s and Fibreboard’s total asbestos-related tort liabilities, as well as the total value of the assets available to the OC and Fibreboard Sub-Accounts to pay PI Trust Claims asserted against each Sub-Account. Consequently, there is inherent uncertainty regarding the amounts that holders of PI Trust Claims will receive. To seek to ensure substantially similar treatment of all present and future PI Trust Claims against either the OC or the Fibreboard Sub-Accounts, the Trustees must determine from time to time the percentage of full liquidated value that holders of PI Trust Claims against the Sub-Account will be likely to receive, i.e, the “Payment Percentage” described in Section 2.3 above and Section 4.2 below.

4.2 Computation of Payment Percentage. As provided in Section 2.3 above, the Initial Payment Percentage for claims against the OC Sub-Account shall be              percent (             %), and for claims against the Fibreboard Sub-Account              percent (             %). These percentages shall apply to all OC and Fibreboard PI Trust Voting Claims as defined in Section 2.3 above, unless the Trustees, with the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative, determine that the Initial Payment Percentage for one or both Sub-Accounts should be changed to assure that the PI Trust will be in a financial position to pay holders of unliquidated and/or unpaid PI Trust Voting Claims and present and future PI Trust Claims against the OC and Fibreboard Sub-Accounts, respectively, in substantially the same manner. In making any such adjustment, the Trustees, the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative shall take into account the fact that the holders of PI Trust Voting Claims voted

 

- 11 -


on the Plan relying on the findings of experts that the Initial Payment Percentage for each Sub-Account represented a reasonably reliable estimate of the PI Trust’s total assets and liabilities over its life based on the best information available at the time, and shall thus give due consideration to the expectations of PI Trust Voting Claimants that the Initial Payment Percentage would be applied to their PI Trust Claims.

Except with respect to PI Trust Voting Claims to which the Initial Payment Percentage applies, the Payment Percentage for either the OC or the Fibreboard Sub-Accounts shall be subject to change pursuant to the terms of this TDP and the PI Trust Agreement if the Trustees determine that an adjustment is required. No less frequently than once every three years, commencing with the first day of January occurring after the Plan is consummated, the Trustees shall reconsider the then applicable Payment Percentage for each of the OC and Fibreboard Sub-Accounts to assure that the respective percentage is based on accurate, current information and may, after such reconsideration, change the Payment Percentage for either Sub-Account if necessary with the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative.

The Trustees shall also reconsider the then applicable Payment Percentages for either or both Sub-Accounts at shorter intervals if they deem such reconsideration to be appropriate or if requested to do so by the TAC or the Future Claimants’ Representative. The Trustees must base their determination of the Payment Percentage on current estimates of the number, types, and values of present and future PI Trust Claims against the respective Sub-Accounts, the value of the assets then available to the respective Sub-Accounts for their payment, all anticipated administrative and legal expenses of the respective Sub-Accounts, and any other material matters that are reasonably likely to affect the sufficiency of the respective Sub-Accounts’ assets to pay a comparable percentage of full value to all holders of claims against the Sub-Accounts. When making these determinations, the Trustees shall exercise common sense and flexibly evaluate all relevant factors. The Payment Percentage applicable to Category A or Category B claims against the respective Sub-Accounts may not be reduced to

 

- 12 -


alleviate delays in payments of claims in the other Category; both Categories will receive the same Payment Percentage, but the payment from either or both Sub-Accounts may be deferred as needed pursuant to Section 7.3 below, and a Reduced Payment Option may be instituted for either Sub-Account as described in Section 2.5 above.

4.3 Applicability of the Payment Percentage. Except as set forth below in this Section 4.3 with respect to supplemental payments, no holder of a PI Trust Voting Claim other than a PI Trust Voting Claim for Other Asbestos Disease (Disease Level I—Cash Discount Payment) as defined in Section 5.3(a)(3) below shall receive a payment that exceeds the PI Trust’s determination of the Initial Payment Percentage for the relevant Sub-Account of the liquidated value of the claim. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1(c) below for PI Trust Claims involving deceased or incompetent claimants for which court or probate approval of the PI Trust’s offer is required, no holder of any other PI Trust Claim shall receive a payment that exceeds the Payment Percentage for the respective Sub-Account in effect at the time of payment. PI Trust Claims involving Other Asbestos Disease (Disease Level I—Cash Discount Payment) shall not be subject to such Sub-Account’s Payment Percentage, but shall instead be paid the full amount of their Scheduled Value as set forth in Section 5.3(a)(3) below.

If a redetermination of the respective Sub-Account’s Payment Percentage has been proposed in writing by the Trustees to the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative but has not yet been adopted, the claimant shall receive the lower of such Sub-Account’s current Payment Percentage or the proposed Payment Percentage. However, if the proposed Payment Percentage for such Sub-Account was the lower amount but was not subsequently adopted, the claimant shall thereafter receive the difference between the lower proposed amount and the higher current amount. Conversely, if the proposed Payment Percentage for such Sub-Account was the higher amount and was subsequently adopted, the claimant shall thereafter receive the difference between the lower current amount and the higher adopted amount.

 

- 13 -


There is uncertainty surrounding the amount of the PI Trust’s future assets. There is also uncertainty surrounding the totality of the PI Trust Claims to be paid over time as well as the extent to which changes in existing federal and state law could affect the PI Trust’s liabilities under this TDP. If the value of the PI Trust’s future assets increases significantly and/or if the value or volume of PI Trust Claims actually filed with the PI Trust is significantly lower than originally estimated, the PI Trust shall use those proceeds and/or claims savings, as the case may be, first to maintain the Payment Percentage then in effect.

If the Trustees, with the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative, make a determination to increase the Payment Percentage due to a material change in the estimates of the PI Trust’s future assets and/or liabilities, the Trustees shall also make supplemental payments to all claimants who previously liquidated their claims against the PI Trust and received payments based on a lower Payment Percentage. The amount of any such supplemental payment shall be the liquidated value of the claim in question times the newly adjusted Payment Percentage, less all amounts previously paid to the claimant with respect to the claim (excluding the portion of such previously paid amounts that was attributable to interest paid pursuant to Section 7.5 below).

The Trustees’ obligation to make a supplemental payment to a claimant shall be suspended in the event the payment in question would be less than $100.00, and the amount of the suspended payment shall be added to the amount of any prior supplemental payment/payments that was/were also suspended because it/they would have been less than $100.00. However, the Trustees’ obligation shall resume and the Trustees shall pay any such aggregate supplemental payments due the claimant at such time that the total exceeds $100.00.

 

- 14 -


SECTION V

Resolution of PI Trust Claims.

5.1 Ordering, Processing and Payment of Claims.

5.1(a) Ordering of Claims.

5.1(a)(1) Establishment of FIFO Processing Queues. The PI Trust will order separately all OC and Fibreboard Claims that are sufficiently complete to be reviewed for processing purposes on a FIFO basis except as otherwise provided herein (the “FIFO Processing Queues”). For all claims filed on or before the date six months after the date that the PI Trust first makes available proof of claim forms and other claims materials required to file a claim with the PI Trust (the “Initial Claims Filing Date”), a claimant’s position in either FIFO Processing Queue shall be determined as of the earliest of (i) the date prior to the Petition Date (if any) that the specific claim was either filed against OC or Fibreboard in the tort system or was actually submitted to OC or Fibreboard pursuant to an administrative settlement agreement; (ii) the date before the Petition Date that the claim was filed against another asbestos defendant in the tort system if at the time the claim was subject to a tolling agreement with OC or Fibreboard; (iii) the date after the Petition Date but before the Initial Claims Filing Date that the claim was filed against another asbestos defendant in the tort system; (iv) the date after the Petition Date but before the Effective Date the claimant filed a proof of claim form in OC’s and/or Fibreboard’s Chapter 11 proceeding; or (v) the date after the Petition Date the claimant submitted a ballot in OC’s Chapter 11 proceeding for purposes of voting on the Plan pursuant to the voting procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

Following the Initial Claims Filing Date, the claimant’s position in one of the two FIFO Processing Queues shall be determined by the date the claim was filed with the PI Trust. If any claims are filed on the same date, the claimant’s position in the FIFO Processing Queue shall be determined by date of the claimant’s diagnosis of asbestos-related disease. If any claims are filed and diagnosed on the same date, the claimant’s position in the FIFO Processing Queue shall be determined by the date of the claimant’s birth, with older claimants given priority over younger claimants.

 

- 15 -


5.1(a)(2) Effect of Statutes of Limitations and Repose. All unliquidated PI Trust Claims must meet either, (i) for claims first filed in the tort system against OC or Fibreboard, respectively prior to the Petition Date, the applicable federal, state and foreign statute of limitation and repose that was in effect at the time of the filing of the claim in the tort system, or (ii) for claims that were not filed against either OC or Fibreboard in the tort system prior to the Petition Date, the applicable federal, state or foreign statute of limitation that was in effect at the time of the filing with the PI Trust.

However, the running of the relevant statute of limitation shall be tolled as of the earliest of (A) the actual filing of the claim against OC or Fibreboard prior to the Petition Date, whether in the tort system or by submission of the claim to OC or Fibreboard pursuant to an administrative settlement agreement; (B) the filing of the claim against another defendant in the tort system prior to the Petition Date if the claim was tolled against OC or Fibreboard at the time by an agreement or otherwise; (C) the filing of a claim after the Petition Date but prior to the Initial Claims Filing Date against another defendant in the tort system; (D) the date after the Petition Date but before the Effective Date that a proof of claim was filed against OC or Fibreboard in OC’s and or Fibreboard’s Chapter 11 proceeding; (E) the date a ballot was submitted by the claimant in OC’s and or Fibreboard’s Chapter 11 proceeding for purposes of voting on the Plan pursuant to the voting procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court; or (F) the filing of a proof of claim with the requisite supporting documentation with the PI Trust after the Initial Claims Filing Date.

If a PI Trust Claim meets any of the tolling provisions described in the preceding sentence and the claim was not barred by the applicable federal, state or foreign statute of limitation at the time of the tolling event, it will be treated as timely filed if it is actually filed with the PI Trust within three (3) years after the Initial Claims Filing Date. In addition, any claims that were first diagnosed after the Petition Date, irrespective of the application of any

 

- 16 -


relevant federal, state or foreign statute of limitation or repose, may be filed with the PI Trust within three (3) years after the date of diagnosis or within three (3) years after the Initial Claims Filing Date, whichever occurs later. However, the processing of any PI Trust Claim by the PI Trust may be deferred at the election of the claimant pursuant to Section 6.3 below.

5.1(b) Processing of Claims. As a general practice, the PI Trust will review its claims files on a regular basis and notify all claimants whose claims are likely to come up in either the OC or Fibreboard FIFO Processing Queue in the near future. However, claims that were not filed (i) against OC or Fibreboard in the tort system or actually submitted to OC or Fibreboard pursuant to an administrative settlement agreement prior to the Petition Date, or (ii) against another asbestos defendant in the tort system prior to the Plan Filing Date, shall not be processed until after the Initial Claims Filing Date.

5.1(c) Payment of Claims. PI Trust Claims against the OC and/or Fibreboard Sub-Accounts that have been liquidated under the provisions of this TDP by the Expedited Review Process as provided in Section 5.3(a) below, by the Individual Review Process as provided in Section 5.3(b) below, by arbitration as provided in Section 5.10 below, or by litigation in the tort system provided in Section 5.11 below, shall be paid in FIFO order from the relevant Sub-Account based on the date their liquidation became final (the “FIFO Payment Queue”), all such payments being subject to the applicable Payment Percentage, the Maximum Annual Payment, the Maximum Available Payment, and the Claims Payment Ratio, except as otherwise provided herein. Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims, as defined in Section 5.2 below, shall be subject to the Maximum Annual Payment and Payment Percentage limitations, but not to the Maximum Available Payment and Claims Payment Ratio provisions set forth above.

Where the claimant is deceased or incompetent, and the settlement and payment of his or her claim must be approved by a court of competent jurisdiction or through a probate process prior to acceptance of the claim by the claimant’s representative, an offer made by the PI Trust on the claim shall remain open so long as proceedings before that court or in that

 

- 17 -


probate process remain pending, provided that the PI Trust has been furnished with evidence that the settlement offer has been submitted to such court or probate process for approval. If the offer is ultimately approved by the court or through the probate process and accepted by the claimant’s representative, the PI Trust shall pay the claim from the relevant Sub-Account in the amount so offered, multiplied by the Payment Percentage in effect for such Sub-Account at the time the offer was first made.

If any claims are liquidated on the same date, the claimant’s position in a Sub-Account’s FIFO Payment Queue shall be determined by the date of the diagnosis of the claimant’s asbestos-related disease. If any claims are liquidated on the same date and the respective holders’ asbestos-related diseases were diagnosed on the same date, those claimants’ positions in the Sub-Account’s FIFO Payment Queue shall be determined by the PI Trust based on the dates of the claimants’ birth, with older claimants given priority over younger claimants.

5.2 Resolution of Pre-Petition Liquidated PI Trust Claims.

5.2(a) Processing and Payment. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the PI Trust shall pay, upon submission by the claimant of the appropriate documentation, all PI Trust Claims that were liquidated by (i) a binding settlement agreement for the particular claim entered into prior to the Petition Date that is judicially enforceable by the claimant, (ii) a jury verdict or non-final judgment in the tort system obtained prior to the Petition Date, or (iii) a judgment that became final and non-appealable prior to the Petition Date (collectively “Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims”). In order to receive payment from the Trust, the holder of a Pre-Petition Liquidated Claim must submit all documentation necessary to demonstrate to the Trust that the claim was liquidated in the manner described in the preceding sentence, which documentation shall include (A) a court authenticated copy of the jury verdict, non-final judgment or final judgment, if applicable, and (B) the name, social security number and date of birth of the claimant and the name and address of the claimant’s lawyer.

 

- 18 -


The liquidated value of a Pre-Petition Liquidated Claim shall be the unpaid portion of the amount agreed to in the binding settlement agreement, the unpaid portion of the amount awarded by the jury verdict or non-final judgment, or the unpaid portion of the amount of the final judgment, as the case may be, plus interest, if any, that has accrued on that amount in accordance with the terms of a binding settlement agreement, if any, or under applicable state law for settlements or judgments as of the Petition Date; however, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.4 below, the liquidated value of a Pre-Petition Liquidated Claim shall not include any punitive or exemplary damages. In addition, the amounts payable with respect to such claims shall not be subject to or taken into account in consideration of the Claims Payment Ratio and the Maximum Available Payment limitations, but shall be subject to the Maximum Annual Payment and Payment Percentage provisions. In the absence of a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court determining whether a settlement agreement is binding and judicially enforceable, a dispute between a claimant and the PI Trust over this issue shall be resolved pursuant to the same procedures in this TDP that are provided for resolving the validity and/or liquidated value of a PI Trust Claim (i.e., arbitration and litigation in the tort system as set forth in Sections 5.10 and 5.11 below).

Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims shall be processed and paid from the OC and/or Fibreboard Sub-Accounts in accordance with their order in separate FIFO queues to be established for each Sub-Account by the PI Trust based on the date the PI Trust received all required documentation for the particular claim. If any Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims are filed with the PI Trust on the same date, the claimant’s position in the Sub-Account’s FIFO queue for such claims shall be determined by the date on which the claim was liquidated. If any Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims are both filed with the PI Trust and liquidated by a Sub-Account on the same dates, those claimants’ positions in the FIFO queue shall be determined by the dates of the claimants’ birth, with older claimants given priority over younger claimants.

 

- 19 -


5.2(b) Marshalling of Security. Holders of Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims that are secured by letters of credit, appeal bonds, or other security or sureties shall first exhaust their rights against any applicable security or surety before making a claim against the PI Trust. Only in the event that such security or surety is insufficient to pay the Pre-Petition Liquidated Claim in full shall the deficiency be processed and paid as a Pre-Petition Liquidated Claim.

5.3 Resolution of Unliquidated PI Trust Claims. Within six months after the establishment of the PI Trust, the Trustees with the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative shall adopt procedures for reviewing and liquidating all unliquidated PI Trust Claims, which shall include deadlines for processing such claims. Such procedures shall also require claimants seeking resolution of unliquidated PI Trust claims to first file a proof of claim form, together with the required supporting documentation, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 below. It is anticipated that the PI Trust shall provide an initial response to the claimant within six months of receiving the proof of claim form.

The proof of claim form shall require the claimant to assert his or her OC and/or Fibreboard Claim for the highest Disease Level for which the claim qualifies at the time of filing. Irrespective of the Disease Level alleged on the proof of claim form, each OC and/or Fibreboard Claims shall be deemed to be a claim for the highest Disease Level for which the claim qualifies at the time of filing, and all lower Disease Levels for which the claim may also qualify at the time of filing or in the future shall be treated as subsumed into the higher Disease Level for both processing and payment purposes.

Upon filing of a valid proof of claim form with the required supporting documentation, the claim shall be placed in the relevant OC and/or Fibreboard FIFO Processing Queue in accordance with the ordering criteria described in Section 5.1(a) above. The PI Trust shall provide the claimant with six-months notice of the date by which it expects to reach the claim in the FIFO Processing Queue, following which the claimant shall promptly (i) advise the PI Trust whether the claim should be liquidated under the PI Trust’s Expedited Review Process

 

- 20 -


described in Section 5.3(a) below or, in certain circumstances, under the PI Trust’s Individual Review Process described in Section 5.3(b) below; (ii) provide the PI Trust with any additional medical and/or exposure evidence that was not provided with the original claim submission; and (iii) advise the PI Trust of any change in the claimant’s Disease Level. If a claimant fails to respond to the PI Trust’s notice prior to the reaching of the claim in the FIFO Processing Queue, the PI Trust will process and liquidate the claim under the Expedited Review Process based upon the medical/exposure evidence previously submitted by the claimant, although the claimant shall retain the right to request Individual Review as described in Section 5.3(b) below.

5.3(a) Expedited Review Process.

5.3(a)(1) In General. The PI Trust’s Expedited Review Process is designed primarily to provide an expeditious, efficient and inexpensive method for liquidating all OC and Fibreboard Claims (except those involving Lung Cancer 2 - Disease Level VI and all Foreign Claims, which must be liquidated pursuant to the PI Trust’s Individual Review process) where the claim can easily be verified by the PI Trust as meeting the presumptive Medical/Exposure Criteria for the relevant Disease Level. Expedited Review thus provides claimants with a substantially less burdensome process for pursuing PI Trust Claims than does the Individual Review Process described in Section 5.3(b) below. Expedited Review is also intended to provide qualifying claimants a fixed and certain claims payment.

Thus, claims that undergo Expedited Review and meet the presumptive Medical/Exposure Criteria for the relevant Disease Level shall be paid the Scheduled Value (or Values in the case of Multiple Exposure Claims) for such Disease Level set forth in Section 5.3(a)(3) below. However, except for claims involving Other Asbestos Disease (Disease Level I), all claims liquidated by Expedited Review shall be subject to the applicable Payment Percentage, the Maximum Annual Payment, the Maximum Available Payment, and the Claims Payment Ratio limitations set forth herein. Claimants holding OC and/or

 

- 21 -


Fibreboard Claims that cannot be liquidated by Expedited Review because they do not meet the presumptive Medical/Exposure Criteria for the relevant Disease Level may elect the PI Trust’s Individual Review Process set forth in Section 5.3(b) below.

Subject to the provisions of Section 5.8, the claimant’s eligibility to receive the Scheduled Value for his or her PI Trust Claim pursuant to the Expedited Review Process shall be determined solely by reference to the Medical/Exposure Criteria set forth below for each of the Disease Levels eligible for Expedited Review.

5.3(a)(2) Claims Processing under Expedited Review. All claimants seeking liquidation of an OC and/or Fibreboard Claim pursuant to Expedited Review shall file the PI Trust’s proof of claim forms provided in Attachment B hereto. As a proof of claim form is reached in the OC or Fibreboard FIFO Processing Queue, the PI Trust shall determine whether the claim described therein meets the Medical/Exposure Criteria for one of the seven Disease Levels eligible for Expedited Review, and shall advise the claimant of its determination. If a Disease Level is determined, the PI Trust shall tender to the claimant an offer of payment from the relevant OC or Fibreboard Sub-Account of the Scheduled Value for the relevant Disease Level multiplied by the applicable Payment Percentage, together with a form of release approved by the PI Trust. If the claimant accepts the Scheduled Value and returns the release properly executed, the claim shall be placed in the Sub-Account’s FIFO Payment Queue, following which the PI Trust shall disburse payment subject to the limitations of the Maximum Available Payment and Claims Payment Ratio, if any.

5.3(a)(3) Disease Levels, Scheduled Values and Medical/Exposure Criteria. The eight Disease Levels covered by this TDP, together with the Medical/Exposure Criteria for each, and the separate OC and Fibreboard Scheduled Values for the seven Disease Levels eligible for Expedited Review, are set forth below. These Disease Levels, Scheduled Values, and Medical/Exposure Criteria shall apply to all PI Trust Voting Claims (other than

 

- 22 -


Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims) filed with the PI Trust on or before the Initial Claims Filing Date provided in Section 5.1 above for which the claimant elects the Expedited Review Process. Thereafter, for purposes of administering the Expedited Review Process and with the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative, the Trustees may add to, change or eliminate Disease Levels, Scheduled Values, or Medical/Exposure Criteria; develop subcategories of Disease Levels, Scheduled Values or Medical/Exposure Criteria; or determine that a novel or exceptional asbestos personal injury claim is compensable even though it does not meet the Medical/Exposure Criteria for any of the then current Disease Levels.

 

Disease Level

  

OC/Fibreboard Scheduled Values

  

Medical/Exposure Criteria

Mesothelioma (Level VIII)

   $215,000/$135,000    (1) Diagnosis2 of mesothelioma; and (2) credible evidence of OC or Fibreboard Exposure (as defined in Section 5.7(b)(3) below)

Lung Cancer 1 (Level VII)

   $40,000/$27,000    (1) Diagnosis of a primary lung cancer plus evidence of an underlying Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease3, (2)

2 The requirements for a diagnosis of an asbestos-related disease that may be compensated under the provisions of this TDP are set forth in Section 5.7 below.
3 Evidence of “Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease” for purposes of meeting the criteria for establishing Disease Levels I, II, III, V, and VII, means either (i) a chest X-ray read by a qualified B reader of 1/0 or higher on the ILO scale or (ii)(x) a chest x-ray read by a qualified B reader or other Qualified Physician, (y) a CT scan read by a Qualified Physician, or (z) pathology, in each case showing either bilateral interstitial fibrosis, bilateral pleural plaques, bilateral pleural thickening, or bilateral pleural calcification. Solely for claims filed against OC or Fibreboard or another asbestos defendant in the tort system prior to the Petition Date, if an ILO reading is not available, either (i) a chest X-ray or a CT scan read by a Qualified Physician, or (ii) pathology, in each case showing either bilateral interstitial fibrosis, bilateral pleural plaques, bilateral pleural thickening, or bilateral pleural calcification, consistent with or compatible with a diagnosis of asbestos-related disease, shall be evidence of a “Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease” for purposes of meeting the presumptive medical requirements of Disease Levels I, II, III, V and VII. Pathological evidence of asbestosis may be based on the pathological grading system for asbestosis described in the Special Issue of the Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, “Asbestos-associated Diseases,” Vol. 106, No. 11, App. 3 (October 8, 1982). For all purposes of this TDP, a “Qualified Physician” is a physician who is board certified (or in the case of Canadian claims or Foreign Claims, a physician who is certified or qualified under comparable medical standards or criteria of the jurisdiction in question) in one or more

 

- 23 -


          six months OC or Fibreboard Exposure prior to December 31,
1982, (3) Significant Occupational Exposure to asbestos,
4 and
(4) supporting medical documentation establishing asbestos
exposure as a contributing factor in causing the lung cancer in
question.

Lung Cancer 2 (Level VI)

   None    (1) Diagnosis of a primary lung cancer; (2) OC or Fibreboard Exposure prior to December 31, 1982, and (3) supporting medical documentation establishing asbestos exposure as a contributing factor in causing the lung cancer in question.
     

Lung Cancer 2 (Level VI) claims are claims that do not meet the more stringent medical and/or exposure requirements of Lung Cancer (Level VII) claims. All claims in this Disease Level will be individually evaluated. The estimated likely Average Value of the individual evaluation awards for this category for OC Claims is $20,000 and for Fibreboard Claims is $12,000, with such awards capped at a Maximum Value of $50,000 for OC Claims and $30,000 for Fibreboard Claims, unless the claim qualifies for Extraordinary Claim treatment (discussed in Section 5.4 below).

 

Level VI claims that show no evidence of either an underlying Bilateral Asbestos-Related Non-malignant Disease or Significant Occupational Exposure may be individually evaluated, although it is not expected that such claims will be treated as having any significant value, especially if the claimant is


relevant specialized fields of medicine such as pulmonology, radiology, internal medicine or occupational medicine; provided, however, subject to the provisions of Section 5.8, that the requirement for board certification in this provision shall not apply to otherwise qualified physicians whose x-rays and/or CT scan readings are submitted for deceased holders of PI Trust Claims.

 

4 “Significant Occupational Exposure” is defined in Section 5.7 below.

 

- 24 -


      also a Smoker. 5 In any event, no presumption of validity will be available for any claims in this category.

Other Cancer (Level V)

   $22,000/$12,000    (1) Diagnosis of a primary colo-rectal, laryngeal, esophageal, pharyngeal, or stomach cancer, plus evidence of an underlying Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease, (2) six months OC or Fibreboard Exposure prior to December 31, 1982, (3) Significant Occupational Exposure to asbestos, and (4) supporting medical documentation establishing asbestos exposure as a contributing factor in causing the other cancer in question.

Severe Asbestosis (Level IV)

   $42,000/$29,000    (1) Diagnosis of asbestosis with ILO of 2/1 or greater, or asbestosis determined by pathological evidence of asbestos, plus (a)TLC less than 65%, or (b) FVC less than 65% and FEV1/FVC ratio greater than 65%, (2) six months OC or Fibreboard Exposure prior to December 31, 1982, (3) Significant Occupational Exposure to asbestos, and (4) supporting medical documentation establishing asbestos exposure as a contributing factor in causing the pulmonary disease in question.

Asbestosis/ Pleural Disease (Level III)

   $19,000/$11,500    (1) Diagnosis of Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease plus (a) TLC less than 80%, or (b) FVC less than 80% and FEV1/FVC ratio greater than or equal to 65%, and

5 There is no distinction between Non-Smokers and Smokers for either Lung Cancer (Level VII) or Lung Cancer (Level VI), although a claimant who meets the more stringent requirements of Lung Cancer (Level VII) (evidence of an underlying Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease plus Significant Occupational Exposure), and who is also a Non-Smoker, may wish to have his or her claim individually evaluated by the PI Trust. In such a case, absent circumstances that would otherwise reduce the value of the claim, it is anticipated that the liquidated value of the claim might well exceed the Scheduled Values for Lung Cancer (Level VII) claims against OC and Fibreboard, respectively, shown above. “Non-Smoker” means a claimant who either (a) never smoked or (b) has not smoked during any portion of the twelve (12) years immediately prior to the diagnosis of the lung cancer.

 

- 25 -


      (2) six months OC or Fibreboard Exposure prior to December 31, 1982, (3) Significant Occupational Exposure to asbestos, and (4) supporting medical documentation establishing asbestos exposure as a contributing factor in causing the pulmonary disease in question.

Asbestosis/ Pleural Disease (Level II)

   $8,000/$4,500    (1) Diagnosis of a Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease, and (2) six months OC or Fibreboard Exposure prior to December 31, 1982, and (3) five years cumulative occupational exposure to asbestos.

Other Asbestos Disease (Level I - Cash Discount Payment)

   $400/$240    (1) Diagnosis of a Bilateral Asbestos- Related Nonmalignant Disease or an asbestos-related malignancy other than mesothelioma, and (2) OC or Fibreboard Exposure prior to December 31, 1982.

5.3(b) Individual Review Process

5.3(b)(1) In General. Subject to the provisions set forth below, an OC or Fibreboard Claimant may elect to have his or her PI Trust Claim reviewed for purposes of determining whether the claim would be compensable in the tort system even though it does not meet the presumptive Medical/Exposure Criteria for any of the Disease Levels set forth in Section 5.3(a)(3) above. In addition or alternatively, an OC or Fibreboard claimant may elect to have a claim undergo the Individual Review Process for purposes of determining whether the liquidated value of the claim exceeds the Scheduled Value for the relevant Disease Level also set forth in said provision. However, until such time as the PI Trust has made an offer on a claim pursuant to Individual Review, the claimant may change his or her Individual Review election and have the claim liquidated pursuant to the PI Trust’s Expedited Review Process. In the event of such a change in the processing election, the claimant shall nevertheless retain his or her place in the FIFO Processing Queue.

 

- 26 -


The liquidated value of all Foreign Claims shall be established pursuant to the PI Trust’s Individual Review Process. PI Trust Claims of individuals exposed in Canada who were resident in Canada when such claims were filed (“Canadian Claims”) shall not be considered Foreign Claims hereunder and shall be eligible for liquidation under the Expedited Review Process. Accordingly, a “Foreign Claim” is a PI Trust Claim with respect to which the claimant’s exposure to an asbestos-containing product for which OC and or Fibreboard has legal responsibility occurred outside of the United States and its Territories and Possessions and outside of the Provinces and Territories of Canada.

In reviewing Foreign Claims, the PI Trust shall take into account all relevant procedural and substantive legal rules to which the claims would be subject in the Claimant’s Jurisdiction as defined in Section 5.3(b)(2) below. The PI Trust shall determine the liquidated value of Foreign Claims based on historical settlements and verdicts in the Claimant’s Jurisdiction as well as the other valuation factors set forth in Section 5.3(b)(2) below.

For purposes of the Individual Review process, the Trustees, with the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative, may develop separate Medical/Exposure Criteria and standards, as well as separate requirements for physician and other professional qualifications, which shall be applicable to Foreign Claims; provided, however, that such criteria, standards or requirements shall not effectuate substantive changes to the claims eligibility requirements under this TDP, but rather shall be made only for the purpose of adapting those requirements to the particular licensing provisions and/or medical customs or practices of the foreign country in question.

At such time as the PI Trust has sufficient historical settlement, verdict and other valuation data for claims from a particular foreign jurisdiction, the Trustees, with the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative, may also establish a separate valuation matrix for such Foreign Claims based on that data.

 

- 27 -


5.3(b)(1)(A) Review of Medical/Exposure Criteria. The PI Trust’s Individual Review Process provides an OC or Fibreboard claimant with an opportunity for individual consideration and evaluation of a PI Trust Claim that fails to meet the presumptive Medical/Exposure Criteria for Disease Levels I – V, VII or VIII. In such a case, the PI Trust shall either deny the claim, or, if the PI Trust is satisfied that the claimant has presented a claim that would be cognizable and valid in the tort system, the PI Trust can offer the claimant a liquidated value amount up to the Scheduled Value for that Disease Level, unless the claim qualifies as an Extraordinary Claim as defined in Section 5.4(a) below, in which case its liquidated value cannot exceed the Maximum Value for such a claim.

5.3(b)(1)(B) Review of Liquidated Value. Claimants holding claims involving Disease Levels II – VIII shall also be eligible to seek Individual Review of the liquidated value of their OC and Fibreboard Claims, as well as of their medical/exposure evidence. The Individual Review Process is intended to result in payments from the OC and/or Fibreboard Sub-Accounts equal to the full liquidated value for each claim multiplied by the Payment Percentage; however, the liquidated value of any OC or Fibreboard Claim that undergoes Individual Review may be determined to be less than the Scheduled Value the claimant would have received under Expedited Review. Moreover, the liquidated value for a claim involving Disease Levels II – VIII shall not exceed the Maximum Value for the relevant Disease Level set forth in Section 5.3(b)(4) below, unless the claim meets the requirements of an Extraordinary Claim described in Section 5.4(a) below, in which case its liquidated value cannot exceed the Maximum Value set forth in that provision for such claims. Because the detailed examination and valuation process pursuant to Individual Review requires substantial time and effort, claimants electing to undergo the Individual Review Process may be paid the liquidated value of their PI Trust Claims later than would have been the case had the claimant elected the Expedited Review Process. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.8, the PI Trust shall devote reasonable resources to the review of all claims to ensure that there is a reasonable balance maintained in reviewing all classes of claims.

 

- 28 -


5.3(b)(2) Valuation Factors to be Considered in Individual Review. The PI Trust shall liquidate the value of each OC and Fibreboard Claim that undergoes Individual Review based on the historic liquidated values of other similarly situated claims in the tort system for the same Disease Level. The PI Trust will thus take into consideration all of the factors that affect the severity of damages and values within the tort system including, but not limited to credible evidence of (i) the degree to which the characteristics of a claim differ from the presumptive Medical/Exposure Criteria for the Disease Level in question; (ii) factors such as the claimant’s age, disability, employment status, disruption of household, family or recreational activities, dependencies, special damages, and pain and suffering; (iii) whether the claimant’s damages were (or were not) caused by asbestos exposure to an asbestos-containing product prior to December 31, 1982 for which OC or Fibreboard has legal responsibility (for example, alternative causes, and the strength of documentation of injuries); (iv) the industry of exposure; (v) settlements and verdict histories in the Claimant’s Jurisdiction for similarly situated claims; and (vi) settlement and verdict histories for the claimant’s law firm for similarly situated claims.

For these purposes, the “Claimant’s Jurisdiction” is the jurisdiction in which the claim was filed (if at all) against OC or Fibreboard in the tort system prior to the Petition Date. If the claim was not filed against OC or Fibreboard in the tort system prior to the Petition Date, the claimant may elect as the Claimant’s Jurisdiction either (i) the jurisdiction in which the claimant resides at the time of diagnosis or when the claim is filed with the PI Trust; or (ii) a jurisdiction in which the claimant experienced exposure to an asbestos-containing product for which OC or Fibreboard has legal responsibility.

 

- 29 -


With respect to the “Claimant’s Jurisdiction” in the event a personal representative or authorized agent makes a claim under this TDP for wrongful death with respect to which the governing law of the Claimant’s Jurisdiction could only be the Alabama Wrongful Death Statute, the Claimant’s Jurisdiction for such claim shall be the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and such claimant’s damages shall be determined pursuant to the statutory and common laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to its choice of law principles. The choice of law provision in Section 7.4 below applicable to any claim with respect to which, but for this choice of law provision, the applicable law of the Claimant’s Jurisdiction pursuant to Section 5.3(b)(2) is determined to be the Alabama Wrongful Death Statute, shall only govern the rights between the PI Trust and the claimant, and, to the extent the PI Trust seeks recovery from any entity that provided insurance coverage to OC and or Fibreboard, the Alabama Wrongful Death Statute shall govern.

5.3(b)(3) Processing and Payment Limitations for Claims Involving Disease Levels III and II. The PI Trust shall administer Individual Review for Disease Levels III and II so that Individual Review does not reduce payments to claimants electing the Scheduled Value for such PI Trust Claims under Expedited Review. As one means of implementing this requirement, the following shall apply for Disease Levels III and II claims:

5.3(b)(3)(A) Disease Level III Claims. No more than 13% or 9% of Disease Level III claims paid in any year from either the OC or the Fibreboard Sub-Account, respectively, shall be PI Trust Claims allowed under Individual Review, and the total payments to such Disease Level III claims allowed under Individual Review shall be no more than 17% or 13% of payments to all Disease Level III claimants from either the OC or Fibreboard Sub-Account, respectively, during any year.

5.3(b)(3)(B) Disease Level II Claims. No more than 15% or 20% of Disease Level II claims paid in any year from either the OC or the Fibreboard Sub-Account, respectively, shall be PI Trust Claims allowed under Individual Review, and the total

 

- 30 -


payments to such Disease Level II claims allowed under Individual Review shall be no more than 24% or 33% of payments to all Disease Level II claimants from either the OC or Fibreboard Sub-Account, respectively, during any year.

5.3(b)(4) Scheduled, Average and Maximum Values. The Scheduled, Average and Maximum Values for the Disease Levels compensable under this TDP from the OC and Fibreboard Sub-Accounts are the following:

OC SUB-ACCOUNT

These OC and Fibreboard Scheduled Values, Average Values and Maximum Values shall apply to all PI Trust Voting Claims other than Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims filed with the PI Trust on or before the Initial Claims Filing Date as provided in Section 5.1 above. Thereafter, the PI Trust, with the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative pursuant to Sections 5.7(b) and 6.6(b) of the PI Trust Agreement, may change these valuation amounts for good cause and consistent with other restrictions on the amendment power.

5.4 Categorizing Claims as Extraordinary and/or Exigent Hardship

5.4(a) Extraordinary Claims. “Extraordinary Claim” means a PI Trust Claim that otherwise satisfies the Medical Criteria for Disease Levels II - VIII, and that is held by a claimant whose exposure to asbestos (i) occurred predominately as the result of working in a manufacturing facility of OC or Fibreboard during a period in which OC or Fibreboard was manufacturing asbestos-containing products at that facility, or (ii) was at least 75% the result of exposure to an asbestos-containing product for which OC or Fibreboard has legal

 

- 32 -


responsibility, and in either case there is little likelihood of a substantial recovery elsewhere. All such Extraordinary Claims shall be presented for Individual Review and, if valid, shall be entitled to an award of up to a Maximum Value of five (5) times the Scheduled Value for claims qualifying for Disease Levels II – V, VII and VIII, and five (5) times the Average Value for claims in Disease Level VI, multiplied by the applicable Payment Percentage.

Any dispute as to Extraordinary Claim status shall be submitted to a special Extraordinary Claims Panel to be established by the PI Trust with the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative. All decisions of the Extraordinary Claims Panel shall be final and not subject to any further administrative or judicial review. An Extraordinary Claim, following its liquidation, shall be placed in the Trust’s FIFO Queue ahead of all other PI Trust Claims except Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims, Disease Level I (Other Asbestos Disease) Claims and Exigent Hardship Claims, which shall be paid first in that order in said Queue, based on its date of liquidation and shall be subject to the Maximum Available Payment and Claims Payment Ratio described above.

5.4(b) Exigent Hardship Claims. At any time the PI Trust may liquidate and pay PI Trust Claims that qualify as Exigent Hardship Claims as defined below. Such claims may be considered separately no matter what the order of processing otherwise would have been under this TDP. An Exigent Hardship Claim, following its liquidation, shall be placed first in the relevant Sub-Account’s FIFO Payment Queue ahead of all other liquidated claims except Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims and Disease Level I (Other Asbestos Disease) Claims, and shall be subject to the Maximum Available Payment and Claims Payment Ratio described above. A PI Trust Claim qualifies for payment as an Exigent Hardship Claim if the claim meets the Medical/Exposure Criteria for Severe Asbestosis (Disease Level IV) or an asbestos-related malignancy (Disease Levels V-VIII), and the PI Trust, in its sole discretion, determines (i) that the claimant needs financial assistance on an immediate basis based on the claimant’s expenses and all sources of available income, and (ii) that there is a causal connection between the claimant’s dire financial condition and the claimant’s asbestos-related disease.

 

- 33 -


5.5 Secondary Exposure Claims. If a claimant alleges an asbestos-related disease resulting solely from exposure to an occupationally exposed person, such as a family member, the claimant is entitled to seek Individual Review of his or her OC and/or Fibreboard Claim pursuant to Section 5.3(b) above. In such a case, the claimant must establish that the occupationally exposed person would have met the exposure requirements under this TDP that would have been applicable had that person filed a direct claim against the PI Trust. In addition, the claimant with secondary exposure must establish that he or she is suffering from one of the eight Disease Levels described in Section 5.3(a)(3) above or an asbestos-related disease otherwise compensable under this TDP, that his or her own exposure to the occupationally exposed person occurred within the same time frame as the occupationally exposed person was exposed to asbestos products produced by OC or Fibreboard, and that such secondary exposure to OC or Fibreboard products was a cause of the claimed disease. The proof of claim form included in Attachment B hereto contains an additional section for Secondary Exposure Claims. All other liquidation and payment rights and limitations under this TDP shall be applicable to such claims.

5.6 Indirect PI Trust Claims. Indirect PI Trust Claims asserted against either the OC or Fibreboard Sub-Accounts based upon theories of contribution or indemnification under applicable law, shall be treated as presumptively valid and paid by the PI Trust subject to the applicable Payment Percentage if (a) such claim satisfied the requirements of the Bar Date for such claims established by the Bankruptcy Court, if applicable, and is not otherwise disallowed by Section 502(e) of the Code or subordinated under Section 509(c) of the Code, and (b) the holder of such claim (the “Indirect Claimant”) establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustees that (i) the Indirect Claimant has paid in full the liability and obligation of the Trust to the individual claimant to whom the PI Trust would otherwise have had a liability or obligation under these Procedures (the “Direct Claimant”), (ii) the Direct Claimant and the Indirect Claimant have forever and fully released the Trust from all liability to the Direct Claimant, and (iii) the claim is not otherwise barred by a statute of limitation or repose or by other

 

- 34 -


applicable law. In no event shall any Indirect Claimant have any rights against the PI Trust superior to the rights of the related Direct Claimant against the PI Trust, including any rights with respect to the timing, amount or manner of payment. In addition, no Indirect Claim may be liquidated and paid in an amount that exceeds what the Indirect Claimant has actually paid the related Direct Claimant.

To establish a presumptively valid Indirect PI Trust Claim, the Indirect Claimant’s aggregate liability for the Direct Claimant’s claim must also have been fixed, liquidated and paid fully by the Indirect Claimant by settlement (with an appropriate full release in favor of the PI Trust) or a Final Order (as defined in the Plan) provided that such claim is valid under the applicable state law. In any case where the Indirect Claimant has paid the claim of a Direct Claimant against the PI Trust under applicable law by way of a settlement, the Indirect Claimant shall obtain for the benefit of the PI Trust a release in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustees.

If an Indirect Claimant cannot meet the presumptive requirements set forth above, including the requirement that the Indirect Claimant provide the PI Trust with a full release of the Direct Claimant’s claim, the Indirect Claimant may request that the PI Trust review the Indirect PI Trust Claim individually to determine whether the Indirect Claimant can establish under applicable state law that the Indirect Claimant has paid all or a portion of a liability or obligation that the PI Trust had to the Direct Claimant as of the effective date of this TDP. If the Indirect Claimant can show that it has paid all or a portion of such a liability or obligation, the PI Trust shall reimburse the Indirect Claimant the amount of the liability or obligation so paid, times the then applicable Payment Percentage. However, in no event shall such reimbursement to the Indirect Claimant be greater than the amount to which the Direct Claimant would have otherwise been entitled. Further, the liquidated value of any Indirect PI Trust Claim paid by the PI Trust to an Indirect Claimant shall be treated as an offset to or reduction of the full liquidated value of any PI Trust Claim that might be subsequently asserted by the Direct Claimant against the PI Trust.

 

- 35 -


Any dispute between the PI Trust and an Indirect Claimant over whether the Indirect Claimant has a right to reimbursement for any amount paid to a Direct Claimant shall be subject to the ADR procedures provided in Section 5.10 below and set forth in Attachment A hereto. If such dispute is not resolved by said ADR procedures, the Indirect Claimant may litigate the dispute in the tort system pursuant to Sections 5.11 above and 7.6 below.

The Trustees may develop and approve a separate proof of claim form for Indirect PI Trust Claims. Indirect PI Trust Claims that have not been disallowed, discharged, or otherwise resolved by prior order of the Bankruptcy Court shall be processed in accordance with procedures to be developed and implemented by the Trustees consistent with the provisions of this Section 5.6, which procedures (a) shall determine the validity, allowability and enforceability of such claims; and (b) shall otherwise provide the same liquidation and payment procedures and rights to the holders of such claims as the PI Trust would have afforded the holders of the underlying valid PI Trust Claims. Nothing in this TDP is intended to preclude a trust to which asbestos-related liabilities are channeled from asserting an Indirect PI Trust Claim against the PI Trust subject to the requirements set forth herein.

5.7 Evidentiary Requirements

5.7(a) Medical Evidence.

5.7(a)(1) In General. All diagnoses of a Disease Level shall be accompanied by either (i) a statement by the physician providing the diagnosis that at least 10 years have elapsed between the date of first exposure to asbestos or asbestos-containing products and the diagnosis, or (ii) a history of the claimant’s exposure sufficient to establish a 10-year latency period. A finding by a physician after the Petition Date that a claimant’s disease is “consistent with” or “compatible with” asbestosis will not alone be treated by the PI Trust as a diagnosis.6

 


6 All diagnoses of Asbestosis/Pleural Disease (Disease Levels II and III) not based on pathology shall be presumed to be based on findings of bilateral asbestosis or pleural disease, and all diagnoses of Mesothelioma (Disease Level VIII) shall be presumed to be based on findings that the disease involves a malignancy. However, the PI Trust may refute such presumptions.

 

- 36 -


5.7(a)(1)(A). Disease Levels I-IV. Except for claims filed against OC, Fibreboard or another asbestos defendant in the tort system prior to the Petition Date, all diagnoses of a non-malignant asbestos-related disease (Disease Levels I-IV) shall be based in the case of a claimant who was living at the time the claim was filed, upon a physical examination of the claimant by the physician providing the diagnosis of the asbestos-related disease. In addition, all living claimants must provide (i) for Disease Levels I-III, evidence of Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease (as defined in Footnote 3 above); (ii)for Disease Level IV, an ILO reading of 2/1 or greater or pathological evidence of asbestosis, and (iii) for Disease Levels III and IV, pulmonary function testing.7

In the case of a claimant who was deceased at the time the claim was filed, all diagnoses of a non-malignant asbestos-related disease (Disease Levels I-IV) shall be based upon either (i) a physical examination of the claimant by the physician providing the diagnosis of the asbestos-related disease; or (ii) pathological evidence of the non-malignant asbestos-related disease; or (iii) in the case of Disease Levels I-III, evidence of Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease (as defined in Footnote 3 above), and for Disease Level IV, either an ILO reading of 2/1 or greater or pathological evidence of asbestosis; or (iv) for either Disease Level III or IV, pulmonary function testing.

 


7 “Pulmonary function testing” or “PFT” shall mean testing that is in material compliance with the quality criteria established by the American Thoracic Society (“ATS”) and is performed on equipment which is in material compliance with ATS standards for technical quality and calibration. PFT performed in a hospital accredited by the JCAHO, or performed, reviewed or supervised by a board certified pulmonologist or other Qualified Physician shall be presumed to comply with ATS standards, and the claimant may submit a summary report of the testing. If the PFT was not performed in a JCAHO accredited hospital, or performed, reviewed or supervised by a board certified pulmonologist or other Qualified Physician, the claimant must submit the full report of the testing (as opposed to a summary report); provided, however, that if the PFT was conducted prior to the Effective Date of the Plan and the full PFT report is not available, the claimant must submit a declaration signed by a Qualified Physician or other qualified party in the form provided by the PI Trust certifying that the PFT was conducted in material compliance with ATS standards.

 

- 37 -


5.7(a)(1)(B). Disease Levels V – VIII. All diagnoses of an asbestos-related malignancy (Disease Levels V – VIII) shall be based upon either (i) a physical examination of the claimant by the physician providing the diagnosis of the asbestos-related disease, or (ii) on a diagnosis of such a malignant Disease Level by a board-certified pathologist.

5.7(a)(1)(C). Exception to the Exception for Certain Pre-Petition Claims. If the holder of a PI Trust Claim that was filed against OC, Fibreboard or another defendant in the tort system prior to the Petition Date has available a report of a diagnosing physician engaged by the holder or his or her law firm who conducted a physical examination of the holder as described in Section 5.7(a)(1)(A), or if the holder has filed such medical evidence and/or a diagnosis of the asbestos-related disease by a physician not engaged by the holder or his or her law firm who conducted a physical examination of the claimant with another asbestos-related personal injury settlement trust that requires such evidence, without regard to whether the diagnosing physician was engaged by the holder or his or her law firm, the holder shall provide such medical evidence to the PI Trust notwithstanding the exception in Sections 5.7(a)(1)(A).

5.7(a)(2) Credibility of Medical Evidence. Before making any payment to a claimant, the PI Trust must have reasonable confidence that the medical evidence provided in support of the claim is credible and consistent with recognized medical standards. The PI Trust may require the submission of X-rays, CT scans, detailed results of pulmonary function tests, laboratory tests, tissue samples, results of medical examination or reviews of other medical evidence, and may require that medical evidence submitted comply with recognized medical standards regarding equipment, testing methods and procedure to assure that such evidence is reliable. Medical evidence (i) that is of a kind shown to have been received in evidence by a state or federal judge at trial, (ii) that is consistent with evidence submitted to OC to settle for payment similar disease cases prior to OC ‘s bankruptcy, or

 

- 38 -


(iii) that is a diagnosis by a physician shown to have previously qualified as a medical expert with respect to the asbestos-related disease in question before a state or federal judge, is presumptively reliable, although the PI Trust may seek to rebut the presumption.

In addition, claimants who otherwise meet the requirements of this TDP for payment of a PI Trust Claim shall be paid irrespective of the results in any litigation at any time between the claimant and any other defendant in the tort system. However, any relevant evidence submitted in a proceeding in the tort system involving another defendant, other than any findings of fact, a verdict, or a judgment, may be introduced by either the claimant or the PI Trust in any Individual Review proceeding conducted pursuant to 5.3(b) or any Extraordinary Claim proceeding conducted pursuant to 5.4(a).

5.7(b) Exposure Evidence

5.7(b)(1) In General. As set forth in Section 5.3(a)(3) above, to qualify for any Disease Level, the claimant must demonstrate a minimum exposure to an asbestos-containing product manufactured or distributed by OC or Fibreboard. Claims based on conspiracy theories that involve no exposure to an asbestos-containing product produced by OC or Fibreboard are not compensable under this TDP. To meet the presumptive exposure requirements of Expedited Review set forth in Section 5.3(a)(3) above, the claimant must show (ifor all Disease Levels, OC or Fibreboard Exposure as defined in Section 5.7(b)(3) below prior to December 31, 1982; (ii) for Asbestos/Pleural Disease Level II, six months OC or Fibreboard Exposure prior to December 31, 1982, plus five years cumulative occupational asbestos exposure; and (iiifor Asbestosis/Pleural Disease (Disease Level III), Severe Asbestosis (Disease Level IV), Other Cancer (Disease Level V) or Lung Cancer 1 (Disease Level VII), the claimant must show six months OC or Fibreboard Exposure prior to December 31, 1982, plus Significant Occupational Exposure to asbestos as defined below. If the claimant cannot meet the relevant presumptive exposure requirements for a Disease Level eligible for Expedited Review, the claimant may seek Individual Review pursuant to Section 5.3(b) above of his or her exposure to an asbestos-containing product for which by OC or Fibreboard has legal responsibility.

 

- 39 -


5.7(b)(2) Significant Occupational Exposure. “Significant Occupational Exposure” means employment for a cumulative period of at least five years, with a minimum of two years prior to December 31, 1982 in an industry and an occupation in which the claimant (a) handled raw asbestos fibers on a regular basis; (b) fabricated asbestos-containing products so that the claimant in the fabrication process was exposed on a regular basis to raw asbestos fibers; (c) altered, repaired or otherwise worked with an asbestos-containing product such that the claimant was exposed on a regular basis to asbestos fibers; or (d) was employed in an industry and occupation such that the claimant worked on a regular basis in close proximity to workers engaged in the activities described in (a), (b) and/or (c).

5.7(b)(3) OC or Fibreboard Exposure. All PI Trust claimants must demonstrate meaningful and credible exposure, which occurred prior to December 31, 1982, to asbestos or asbestos-containing products supplied, specified, manufactured, installed, maintained, or repaired by either OC or Fibreboard, and/or any entity, including an OC or Fibreboard contracting unit, for which OC or Fibreboard has legal liability (“OC/Fibreboard Exposure”). That meaningful and credible exposure evidence may be established by an affidavit or sworn statement of the claimant, by an affidavit or sworn statement of a co-worker or the affidavit or sworn statement of a family member in the case of a deceased claimant (providing the PI Trust finds such evidence reasonably reliable), by invoices, employment, construction or similar records, or by other credible evidence. The specific exposure information required by the PI Trust to process a claim under either Expedited or Individual Review shall be set forth on the proof of claim form to be used by the PI Trust. The PI Trust can also require submission of other or additional evidence of exposure when it deems such to be necessary.

 

- 40 -


5.8 Claims Audit Program. The PI Trust with the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative may develop methods for auditing the reliability of medical evidence, including additional reading of X-rays, CT scans and verification of pulmonary function tests, as well as the reliability of evidence of exposure to asbestos, including exposure to asbestos-containing products manufactured or distributed by OC or Fibreboard prior to December 31, 1982. In the event that the PI Trust reasonably determines that any individual or entity has engaged in a pattern or practice of providing unreliable medical evidence to the Trust, it may decline to accept additional evidence from such provider in the future.

Further, in the event that an audit reveals that fraudulent information has been provided to the PI Trust, the PI Trust may penalize any claimant or claimant’s attorney by disallowing the PI Trust Claim and/or by other means including, but not limited to, requiring the source of the fraudulent information to pay the costs associated with the audit and any future audit or audits, reordering the priority of payment of all affected claimants’ PI Trust Claims, raising the level of scrutiny of additional information submitted from the same source or sources, refusing to accept additional evidence from the same source or sources, seeking the prosecution of the claimant or claimant’s attorney for presenting a fraudulent claim in violation of 18 U.S.C. §152, and seeking sanctions from the Bankruptcy Court.

5.9 Second Disease (Malignancy) Claims. Notwithstanding the provision of Section 2.1 that provides that a claimant may not assert more than one PI Trust Claim hereunder, the holder of a PI Trust Claim involving a non-malignant asbestos-related disease (Disease Levels I through IV) may file a new PI Trust Claim against the PI Trust for a malignant disease (Disease Levels V – VIII) that is subsequently diagnosed. Any additional payments to which such claimant may be entitled with respect to such malignant asbestos-related disease shall not be reduced by the amount paid for the non-malignant asbestos-related disease, provided that the malignant disease had not been diagnosed at the time the claimant was paid with respect to his or her original claim involving the non-malignant disease.

 

- 41 -


5.10 Arbitration.

5.10(a) Establishment of ADR Procedures. The PI Trust, with the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative, shall institute binding and non-binding arbitration procedures in accordance with the ADR Procedures included in Attachment A hereto for resolving disputes concerning whether a Pre-Petition settlement agreement with OC or Fibreboard is binding and judicially enforceable in the absence of a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court determining the issue, whether the PI Trust’s outright rejection or denial of a claim was proper, or whether the claimant’s medical condition or exposure history meets the requirements of this TDP for purposes of categorizing a claim involving Disease Levels I – VIII. Binding and non-binding arbitration shall also be available for resolving disputes over the liquidated value of a claim involving Disease Levels II – VIII as well as disputes over OC’s or Fibreboard’s share of the unpaid portion of a Pre-Petition Liquidated Claim described in Section 5.2 above and disputes over the validity of an Indirect PI Trust Claim.

In all arbitrations, the arbitrator shall consider the same medical and exposure evidentiary requirements that are set forth in Section 5.7 above. In the case of an arbitration involving the liquidated value of a claim involving Disease Levels II – VIII, the arbitrator shall consider the same valuation factors that are set forth in Section 5.3(b)(2) above. With respect to all claims eligible for arbitration, the claimant, but not the PI Trust, may elect either non-binding or binding arbitration. The ADR Procedures set forth in Attachment A hereto may be modified by the PI Trust with the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative. Such amendments may include adoption of mediation procedures as well as establishment of an Extraordinary Claims Panel to review such claims pursuant to Section 5.4(a) above.

5.10(b) Claims Eligible for Arbitration. In order to be eligible for arbitration, the claimant must first complete the Individual Review Process set forth in Section 5.3(b) above, as well as either the Pro-Bono Evaluation or the Mediation processes set forth in the ADR Procedures included in Attachment A, with respect to the disputed issue. Individual Review will be treated as completed for these purposes when the claim has been individually reviewed by the PI Trust, the PI Trust has made an offer on the claim, the claimant has rejected

 

- 42 -


the liquidated value resulting from the Individual Review, and the claimant has notified the PI Trust of the rejection in writing. Individual Review will also be treated as completed if the PI Trust has rejected the claim.

5.10(c) Limitations on and Payment of Arbitration Awards. In the case of a non-Extraordinary Claim involving Disease Levels II – VIII, the arbitrator shall not return an award in excess of the Maximum Value for the appropriate Disease Level as set forth in Section 5.3(b)(4) above, and for an Extraordinary Claim involving one of those Disease Levels, the arbitrator shall not return an award greater than the maximum extraordinary value for such a claim as set forth in Section 5.4(a) above. A claimant who submits to arbitration and who accepts the arbitral award will receive payments in the same manner as one who accepts the PI Trust’s original valuation of the claim.

5.11 Litigation. Claimants who elect non-binding arbitration and then reject their arbitral awards retain the right to institute a lawsuit in the tort system against the PI Trust pursuant to Section 7.6 below. However, a claimant shall be eligible for payment of a judgment for monetary damages obtained in the tort system from the PI Trust’s available cash only as provided in Section 7.7 below.

SECTION VI

Claims Materials

6.1 Claims Materials. The PI Trust shall prepare suitable and efficient claims materials (“Claims Materials”) for all PI Trust Claims, and shall provide such Claims Materials upon a written request for such materials to the PI Trust. The proof of claim form to be submitted to the PI Trust shall require the claimant to assert the highest Disease Level for which the claim qualifies at the time of filing, and shall include a certification by the claimant or his or her attorney sufficient to meet the requirements of Rule 11(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. In developing its claim filing procedures, the PI Trust shall make every reasonable effort to provide claimants with the opportunity to utilize currently available

 

- 43 -


technology at their discretion, including filing claims and supporting documentation over the internet and electronically by disk or CD-rom. The proof of claim forms to be used by the PI Trust shall be developed by the TAC and submitted to the PI Trust and the Future Claimants’ Representative for approval. The proof of claim forms may be changed by the PI Trust with the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative.

6.2 Content of Claims Materials. The Claims Materials shall include a copy of this TDP, such instructions as the Trustees shall approve, and a detailed proof of claim form. If feasible, the forms used by the PI Trust to obtain claims information shall be the same or substantially similar to those used by other asbestos claims resolution organizations. Instead of collecting some or all of the claims information from a claimant or the claimant’s attorney, the PI Trust may also obtain such information from electronic data bases maintained by any other asbestos claims resolution organization. However, the PI Trust shall inform the claimant that it plans to obtain information as available from such other organizations and may do so unless the claimant objects in writing or provides such information directly to the PI Trust. If requested by the claimant, the PI Trust shall accept information provided electronically. The claimant may, but will not be required to, provide the PI Trust with evidence of recovery from other asbestos defendants and claims resolution organizations.

6.3 Withdrawal or Deferral of Claims. A claimant can withdraw a PI Trust Claim at any time upon written notice to the PI Trust and file another claim subsequently without affecting the status of the claim for statute of limitations purposes, but any such claim filed after withdrawal shall be given a place in the FIFO Processing Queue based the date of such subsequent filing. A claimant can also request that the processing of his or her PI Trust

 

- 44 -


Claim by the PI Trust be deferred for a period not to exceed three (3) years without affecting the status of the claim for statute of limitation purposes, in which case the claimant shall also retain his or her original place in the FIFO Processing Queue. During the period of such deferral, interest on such claimant’s PI Trust Claim as provided in Section 7.5 hereunder shall not accrue and payment thereof shall be deemed waived by the claimant. Except for PI Trust Claims held by representatives of deceased or incompetent claimants for which court or probate approval of the PI Trust’s offer is required, or a PI Trust Claim for which deferral status has been granted, a claim will be deemed to have been withdrawn if the claimant neither accepts, rejects, nor initiates arbitration within six months of the PI Trust’s written offer of payment or rejection of the claim. Upon written request and good cause, the PI Trust may extend either the deferral or withdrawal period for an additional six months.

6.4 Filing Requirements and Fees. The Trustees shall have the discretion to determine, with the consent of the TAC and the Futures Representative, (a) whether a claimant must have previously filed an asbestos-related personal injury claim in the tort system to be eligible to file the claim with the PI Trust and (b) whether a filing fee should be required for any PI Trust Claims.

6.5 Confidentiality of Claimants’ Submissions. All submissions to the PI Trust by a holder of a PI Trust Claim or a proof of claim form and materials related thereto shall be treated as made in the course of settlement discussions between the holder and the PI Trust and intended by the parties to be confidential and to be protected by all applicable state and federal privileges, including, but not limited to, those directly applicable to settlement discussions. The PI Trust will preserve the confidentiality of such claimant submissions, and shall disclose the contents thereof only, with the permission of the holder, to another trust established for the benefit of asbestos personal injury claimants pursuant to section 524(g) and/or section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law, to such other persons as authorized by the holder, or in response to a valid subpoena of such materials issued by the Bankruptcy Court. Furthermore, the PI Trust shall provide counsel for the holder a copy of any such subpoena immediately upon being served. The PI Trust shall on its own initiative or upon request of the claimant in question take all necessary and appropriate steps to preserve said privilege before the Bankruptcy Court and before those courts having appellate jurisdiction related thereto.

SECTION VII

General Guidelines for Liquidating and Paying Claims

7.1 Showing Required. To establish a valid PI Trust Claim, a claimant must meet the requirements set forth in this TDP. The PI Trust may require the submission of X-rays, CT scans, laboratory tests, medical examinations or reviews, other medical evidence, or any other evidence to support or verify the PI Trust Claim, and may further require that medical evidence submitted comply with recognized medical standards regarding equipment, testing methods, and procedures to assure that such evidence is reliable.

7.2 Costs Considered. Notwithstanding any provisions of this TDP to the contrary, the Trustees shall always give appropriate consideration to the cost of investigating and uncovering invalid PI Trust Claims so that the payment of valid PI Trust Claims is not further impaired by such processes with respect to issues related to the validity of the medical evidence supporting a PI Trust Claim. The Trustees shall also have the latitude to make judgments regarding the amount of transaction costs to be expended by the PI Trust so that valid PI Trust Claims are not unduly further impaired by the costs of additional investigation. Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustees, in appropriate circumstances, from contesting the validity of any claim against the PI Trust whatever the costs, or declining to accept medical evidence from sources that the Trustees have determined to be unreliable pursuant to the Claims Audit Program described in Section 5.8 above.

7.3 Discretion to Vary the Order and Amounts of Payments in Event of Limited Liquidity. Consistent with the provisions hereof and subject to the FIFO Processing and Liquidation Queues, the Maximum Annual Payment, the Maximum Available Payment and the Claims Payment Ratio requirements set forth above, the Trustees shall proceed as quickly as possible to liquidate valid PI Trust Claims, and shall make payments to holders of such claims in accordance with this TDP from the OC and/or Fibreboard Sub-Accounts promptly as monies become available and as claims are liquidated, while maintaining sufficient assets within each Sub-Account to pay future valid claims in substantially the same manner.

 

- 46 -


Because the PI Trust’s income over time remains uncertain, and decisions about payments must be based on estimates that cannot be done precisely, they may have to be revised in light of experiences over time, and there can be no guarantee of any specific level of payment for claims against either Sub-Account. However, the Trustees shall use their best efforts to treat similar claims in substantially the same manner, consistent with their duties as Trustees, the purposes of the PI Trust, the established allocation of monies to claims in Categories A and B, and the practical limitations imposed by the inability to predict the future with precision. In the event that either or both of the OC or the Fibreboard Sub-Accounts face temporary periods of limited liquidity, the Trustees may, with the consent of the TAC and the Future Claimants’ Representative, suspend the normal order of payment from such Sub-Account, may temporarily limit or suspend payments from such Sub-Account altogether, and may offer a Reduced Payment Option for the Sub-Account as described in Section 2.5 above.

7.4 Punitive Damages. Except as provided below for claims asserted under the Alabama Wrongful Death Statute, in determining the value of any liquidated or unliquidated PI Trust Claim, punitive or exemplary damages, i.e., damages other than compensatory damages, shall not be considered or allowed, notwithstanding their availability in the tort system. Similarly, no punitive or exemplary damages shall be payable with respect to any claim litigated against the PI Trust in the tort system pursuant to Sections 5.11 above and 7.6 below. The only damages that may be awarded pursuant to this TDP to Alabama Claimants who are deceased and whose personal representatives pursue their claims only under the Alabama Wrongful Death Statute shall be compensatory damages determined pursuant to the statutory and common law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its choice of law principles. The choice of law provision in Section 7.4 herein applicable to any claim with respect to which, but for this choice of law provision, the applicable law of the Claimant’s

 

- 47 -


Jurisdiction pursuant to Section 5.3(b)(2) is determined to be the Alabama Wrongful Death Statute, shall only govern the rights between the PI Trust and the claimant including, but not limited to, suits in the tort system pursuant to Section 7.6, and to the extent the PI Trust seeks recovery from any entity that provided insurance to OC or Fibreboard, the Alabama Wrongful Death Statute shall govern.

7.5 Interest.

7.5(a) In General. Except for PI Trust Claims involving Other Asbestos Disease (Disease Level I – Cash Discount Payment) and subject to the limitations set forth below, interest shall be paid on all PI Trust Claims with respect to which the claimant has had to wait a year or more for payment, provided, however, that no claimant shall receive interest for a period in excess of seven (7) years. The interest rate for each year shall be the coupon issue yield equivalent (as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury) of the average accepted auction price for the first auction of 5-year Treasury Notes occurring in such year.

7.5(b) Unliquidated PI Trust Claims. Interest shall be payable on the Scheduled Value of any unliquidated PI Trust Claim that meets the requirements of Disease Levels II – V, VII and VIII, whether the claim is liquidated under Expedited Review, Individual Review, or by arbitration. No interest shall be paid on any claim involving Disease Level I, or on any claim liquidated in the tort system pursuant to Section 5.11 above and Section 7.6 below. Interest on an unliquidated PI Trust Claim that meets the requirements of Disease Level VI shall be based on the Average Value of such a claim. Interest on all such unliquidated claims shall be measured from the date of payment back to the earliest of the date that is one year after the date on which (a) the claim was filed against OC or Fibreboard prior to the Petition Date; (b) the claim was filed against another defendant in the tort system on or after the Petition Date but before the Effective Date; or (c) the claim was filed with the PI Trust after the Effective Date.

7.5(c) Interest on Liquidated Pre-Petition Claims. Interest shall also be payable on the liquidated value of all Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims described in Section

 

- 48 -


5.2(a) above. In the case of Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims liquidated by verdict or judgment, interest shall be measured from the date of payment back to the date that is one year after the date that the verdict or judgment was entered. In the case of Pre-Petition Liquidated Claims liquidated by a binding, judicially enforceable settlement, interest shall be measured from the date of payment back to the date that is one year after the Petition Date.

7.6 Suits in the Tort System. If the holder of a disputed claim disagrees with the PI Trust’s determination regarding the Disease Level of the claim, the claimant’s exposure history or the liquidated value of the claim, and if the holder has first submitted the claim to non-binding arbitration as provided in Section 5.10 above, the holder may file a lawsuit in the Claimant’s Jurisdiction as defined in Section 5.3(b)(2) above. Any such lawsuit must be filed by the claimant in her or her own right and name and not as a member or representative of a class, and no such lawsuit may be consolidated with any other lawsuit. All defenses (including, with respect to the PI Trust, all defenses which could have been asserted by OC or Fibreboard) shall be available to both sides at trial; however, the PI Trust may waive any defense and/or concede any issue of fact or law. If the claimant was alive at the time the initial pre-petition complaint was filed or on the date the proof of claim was filed with the PI Trust, the case will be treated as a personal injury case with all personal injury damages to be considered even if the claimant has died during the pendency of the claim.

7.7 Payment of Judgments for Money Damages. If and when an OC or Fibreboard claimant obtains a judgment in the tort system, the claim shall be placed in the relevant FIFO Payment Queue based on the date on which the judgment became final. Thereafter, the claimant shall receive from the OC or Fibreboard Sub-Account an initial payment (subject to the applicable Payment Percentage, the Maximum Available Payment, and the Claims Payment Ratio provisions set forth above) of an amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of the greater of (i) the PI Trust’s last offer to the claimant or (ii) the award that the claimant declined in non-binding arbitration. The claimant shall receive the balance of the judgment, if any, in five equal installments in years six (6) through ten (10) following the year

 

- 49 -


of the initial payment (also subject to the applicable Payment Percentage, the Maximum Available Payment and the Claims Payment Ratio provisions set forth above in effect on the date of the payment of the subject installment).

In the case of non-Extraordinary claims involving Disease Levels II - VIII, the total amounts paid with respect to such claims shall not exceed the Maximum Values for such Disease Levels set forth in Section 5.3(b)(4). In the case of Extraordinary Claims, the total amounts paid with respect to such claims shall not exceed the Maximum Value for such claims set forth in Section 5.4(a) above. In the case of claims involving Disease Level I, the total amounts paid shall not exceed the Scheduled Value of such claims. Under no circumstances shall interest be paid pursuant to Section 7.5 or under any statute on any judgments obtained in the tort system pursuant to Sections 5.11 and 7.6 above.

7.8 Releases. The Trustees shall have the discretion to determine the form and substance of the releases to be provided to the PI Trust in order to maximize recovery for claimants against other tortfeasors without increasing the risk or amount of claims for indemnification or contribution from the PI Trust. As a condition to making any payment to a claimant, the PI Trust shall obtain a general, partial, or limited release as appropriate in accordance with the applicable state or other law. If allowed by state law, the endorsing of a check or draft for payment by or on behalf of a claimant may, in the discretion of the PI Trust, shall constitute such a release.

7.9 Third-Party Services. Nothing in this TDP shall preclude the PI Trust from contracting with another asbestos claims resolution organization to provide services to the PI Trust so long as decisions about the categorization and liquidated value of PI Trust Claims are based on the relevant provisions of this TDP, including the Disease Levels, Scheduled Values, Average Values, Maximum Values, and Medical/Exposure Criteria set forth above.

7.10 PI Trust Disclosure of Information. Periodically, but not less often than once a year, the PI Trust shall make available to claimants and other interested parties, the number of claims by Disease Levels that have been resolved both by the Individual Review Process and by arbitration as well as by litigation in the tort system, indicating the amounts of the awards and the averages of the awards by jurisdiction.

Purpose and Interpretation

2.1 Purpose. These FB Property Damage Claims Procedures are adopted pursuant to the Trust Agreement. They are designed to provide fair, prompt payment to holders of valid FB Property Damage Claims and to provide a low transaction cost method of effectuating the resolution of such Claims.

2.2 Interpretation. Nothing in these FB Property Damage Claims Procedures shall be deemed to create a substantive right for any Claimant. Without limiting the foregoing, these FB Property Damage Claims Procedures specifically shall not create any substantive right for any claimant to be afforded now, or in the future, a discounted cash payment election, as described in Section 4.3(b) herein, in any amount. These FB Property Damage Claims Procedures are procedural, and they may be amended, deleted, or added to pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement and the terms of these FB Property Damage Claims Procedures.

ARTICLE 3

Property Damage Advisory Committee

There shall be a Property Damage Advisory Committee (the “PD Advisory Committee”) composed of three persons selected by the Trustee. The Trustee shall participate and consult with the PD Advisory Committee on all major policy and administrative decisions affecting, and the interpretation and implementation of, the FB Property Damage Claims Procedures. Where consultation is required under the Trust Agreement or these FB Property Damage Claims Procedures, the Trustee need only seek advice and counsel from the PD Advisory Committee and are independent and free to accept or reject any recommendation of the PD Advisory Committee. In addition to any provisions in the Trust Agreement that may require the consent of the PD Advisory Committee, the Trustee shall obtain the consent of the PD Advisory Committee regarding (i) participation or merger with another claim resolution organization or contracting the operation of the FB Property Damage Trust (as defined herein) to another claim resolution organization; (ii) material changes other than any changes related to specific amounts to be paid or percentages to be paid in these FB Property Damage Claims Procedures in respect of Allowed Asbestos Property Damage Claims; (iii) the designation of approved laboratories; and (iv) the approval of a Cost Model for Past and Future Abatement Costs (as defined herein) under these FB Property Damage Claims Procedures.

ARTICLE 4

Claims Categories

4.1 Categories of Asbestos Property Damage Claims. All FB Asbestos Property Damage Claims shall be divided into two categories:

(a) Category 1 Claims. Category 1 Claims shall include those Claims for Individual Review which are filed within twelve months of the Effective Date.

(b) Category 2 Claims. Category 2 Claims shall include those Claims for Discounted Payable Costs which are filed within twelve months of the Effective Date.

(c) No Claimant may file a Claim in more than one category.

4.2 Allowed Asbestos Property Damage Claims. For a Category 1 Claim or a Category 2 Claim to be Allowed, the Claimant must provide Convincing Evidence of each of the following:

(a) The asbestos containing product for which the Claim is submitted is a Fibreboard asbestos-containing product; and

(b) A legally viable cause of action; and

 

- 4 -


(c) A Category 1 Claim, only, must also provide Convincing Evidence of compensable injury and damages.

4.3 Allowed Amounts.

(a) Category 1 Claims shall be Allowed in the amount of the Allowed Costs, as adjusted to take into account the historical difficulty of proving such claims in the tort system and in no event shall the Allowed amount be greater than 50% of the Allowed Costs.

(b) Category 2 Claims shall be Allowed in the amount of their Discounted Payable Costs as provided in Exhibit 1.

4.4 Disallowed Asbestos Property Damage Claims. The Property Damage Facility will disallow any Asbestos Property Damage Claim:

(a) for which the Claimant did not file a timely Proof of Claim within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules, such determination shall be made consistent with Section 3.3(c) of the Trust Agreement requiring the Trustee to enforce the Bankruptcy Court’s bar date orders;

(b) for which the Claimant did not file a Property Damage Claim Form within twelve months of the Effective Date;

(c) where there has been a prior judicial determination or stipulation that the asbestos containing product for which the Asbestos Property Damage Claim was filed is not a Fibreboard asbestos-containing product;

(d) by any Claimant where there is Convincing Evidence that Fibreboard would have been able to obtain summary judgment on the ground that the claim would have been barred as a matter of law or factually time-barred under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction if considered on the Petition Date, unless such claim has been revived or reinstated by reason of legislative enactment in the applicable jurisdiction; provided, however, there is a presumption that Pre-Existing Claims are not factually time-barred; or

(e) where there has been a prior adjudication by Final Order (as defined in the Plan) that an Asbestos Property Damage Claim has been time-barred and may not be brought in any other jurisdiction or otherwise revived by the holder of such Claim.

4.5 Fibreboard Indirect Asbestos Property Damage Claim. Fibreboard Indirect Asbestos Property Damage Claims asserted against the FB Property Damage Trust that fall within the Plan’s definition of Fibreboard Indirect Asbestos Property Damage Claims, and which have not been disallowed, discharged, or otherwise resolved, shall be processed, allowed or disallowed, liquidated, paid, and satisfied in accordance with procedures to be developed and implemented by the Trustee, which procedures (a) shall determine the validity and allowance of such claims consistent with Section 502(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) shall require binding arbitration for the resolution of all disputes and thereby foreclose resort to the tort system for dispute resolution, and (c) shall otherwise provide the same processing and payment to the holders of such claims that are allowed as the FB Property Damage Trust would have afforded the holders of any underlying valid Fibreboard Asbestos Property Damage Claims under this Section IV.

ARTICLE 5

Processing and Review of Asbestos Property Damage Claims.

5.1 Submission of Asbestos Property Damage Claims. All Asbestos Property Damage Claims shall be submitted on the Property Damage Claim Form within twelve (12) months of the Effective Date, and shall include all of the documentation (as set forth in Section VI below) required to substantiate the Claim.

The Property Damage Facility may establish procedures designed to reduce administrative costs, which do not prejudice the Claimants’ substantive rights. The Property Damage Facility also may establish guidelines to prevent abuse of the Property Damage Facility’s objective of providing for cost-effective and reasonable methods of Abatement which do not prejudice the Claimants’ substantive rights and which are not inconsistent with these FB Property Damage Claims Procedures. The Property Damage Facility may negotiate and compromise Claims in the best interests of the Category 1 and Category 2 Claims pursuant to these FB Property Damage Claims Procedures.

5.2 Review of Asbestos Property Damage Claims. Upon receipt of a Property Damage Claim Form, the Property Damage Facility shall review the Property Damage Claim Form to determine whether the necessary documentation (as set forth in Section VI) has been submitted. If additional documentation is required in order to evaluate the Claim, the Property Damage Facility shall notify the Claimant in writing within 90 days of receipt of such Property Damage Claim Form by the Facility. Any Claim requiring additional documentation as to which no such further documentation is provided within 60 days from the date of such notification, or such reasonable extension as may be granted by the Trustee (but which, in no event, shall exceed an additional 30 days), shall be a Disallowed Claim, provided that the Claimant shall have the right to request reconsideration and binding dispute resolution pursuant to the procedures set forth in Sections 5.3 and 5.4 below.

Once all of the necessary documentation pertinent to a Claim is received, the Property Damage Facility will determine whether the Claim will be Allowed. The Property Damage Facility shall notify the Claimant in writing by mail of its determination within 120 days of receipt of all necessary documentation.

Where Product Identification evidence under Section 6.2(c) is submitted, the Property Damage Facility shall have the right, upon reasonable notice to the Claimant, to inspect Claimant’s building(s) or structure(s) and conduct non-invasive or non-destructive tests reasonably necessary for the evaluation of the Claim. Such inspection and/or testing shall be limited to visual inspection, photography, bulk sample collection and constituent analysis by an approved laboratory under these FB Property Damage Claims Procedures, and other such reasonable tests, and shall be done at times reasonably convenient to the Claimant and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local rules or regulations regarding safe practices and the Claimant’s operations and maintenance program, if any. Unless otherwise agreed, inspection or testing shall not extend the time for making

 

- 6 -


a determination with respect to a Claim. For the purposes of this Section, the requirement that any testing by the Property Damage Facility be non-invasive or non-destructive shall not preclude securing bulk samples, provided, however, that the sampling shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local rules or regulations regarding safe practices and the Claimant’s operations and maintenance program, if any, and further that the Property Damage Facility shall repair, including cosmetically, the material from which the sample is taken.

The Property Damage Facility’s official determination of a Claim shall include the dollar amount of Abatement Costs. If the Property Damage Facility determines that the claim amount for Abatement Costs of a Claim, as filed, is greater than the reasonable and customary costs of the allowable action undertaken under the circumstances, it shall allow only such reasonable and customary costs. If the dollar amount allowed is less than the total amount of the Claim filed by the Claimant for any reason, the Property Damage Facility’s notification shall include the reason for its determination, a response to any contention previously raised by the Claimant in support of its Claim, copies of all reports of any inspection and/or testing, and a full disclosure of the Claimant’s rights to request reconsideration and binding dispute resolution. If the Claimant accepts the determination of the Property Damage Facility as to the amount of such Claimant’s Allowed Claim, that decision will be final and binding on both parties and may not be reopened.

5.3 Reconsideration of Asbestos Property Damage Claim. A Claimant shall have 60 days from the date of receipt of the Property Damage Facility’s notice of its official determination to file with the Property Damage Facility a written request for reconsideration of that determination. The Claimant must state in writing the reason(s) for seeking reconsideration and include any additional materials not theretofore submitted which the Claimant wishes to be considered in connection with the reconsideration.

Once the Property Damage Facility has received a request for reconsideration, it shall review the Asbestos Property Damage Claim, the supporting documentation, Claimant’s reason for seeking reconsideration and arguments in support thereof, any newly submitted material, the notice of determination and reasons therefor, and any other relevant material. The review shall be conducted de novo by a panel consisting of two Property Damage Facility claims analysts and one otherwise disinterested member of the PD Advisory Committee. The claims analyst who made the original determination shall not sit on the reconsideration panel. Neither the Property Damage Facility nor the panel members may raise or rely on any reasons not stated in the Notice of Determination as a basis for denying the request for reconsideration. The panel shall have 90 days from the date of receipt of Claimant’s request for reconsideration to issue a final determination. If no final determination is issued within said 90-day time period, the Asbestos Property Damage Claim shall be Allowed as originally submitted.

The reconsideration panel shall issue its final determination in writing to the Claimant. The Allowed Amount shall include the amount of the Abatement Costs, if any. If the amount allowed is less that the Claim as filed by the Claimant for any reason or the Claim is disallowed in whole or in part, the final determination shall include a detailed, written statement supporting the panel’s finding, including a response to any contention previously raised by the Claimant in support of its Claim, as well as a full disclosure of Claimant’s right to request binding dispute resolution.

 

- 7 -


5.4 Binding Dispute Resolution. A final determination upon reconsideration by the panel which denies either in full or in part a Claim may be submitted to an arbitrator for binding dispute resolution. A Claimant shall have 60 days from the date of receipt of the Property Damage Facility’s final determination upon reconsideration to file with the Property Damage Facility a written request for binding dispute resolution.

The Property Damage Facility shall maintain a list of a minimum of 15 independent arbitrators who are available to hear disputes between the Property Damage Facility and Claimants. Once a request for Binding Dispute Resolution is received by the Property Damage Facility, the Property Damage Facility shall, within 10 days of receipt of such request, send to the Claimant the names and addresses of 10 independent arbitrators which shall have been selected by a random process. Claimant shall have 30 days from the date the list is received to strike five arbitrators, and to return that information to the Property Damage Facility.

The Property Damage Facility, once it has received Claimant’s choices, shall select one of the five potential arbitrators not stricken by the Claimant and then arrange a mutually acceptable date and location for the binding dispute resolution to take place. The binding dispute resolution shall be commenced within 90 days of receipt by the Property Damage Facility of Claimant’s choices of arbitrators. Upon confirmation of the date that binding dispute resolution is to commence, the Property Damage Facility shall notify the Claimant in writing of the identity of the arbitrator and the date and location of commencement of the binding dispute resolution. Telephone arbitrations may be conducted by the Property Damage Facility, where requested by the Claimant.

The arbitrator shall review the Claim de novo pursuant to the standards set forth in these FB Property Damage Claims Procedures. In no event shall the arbitrator’s determination be an amount lower than the amount of the final determination by the Property Damage Facility upon reconsideration, unless the arbitrator determines that the Claim is a Disallowed Claim. The Property Damage Facility shall pay the arbitrators’ fees, provided, however, that, in the event a Claimant fails to obtain an award in an amount equal to or greater than 125% of the Property Damage Facility’s final determination of its Claim, such fees shall be borne by the Claimant.

ARTICLE 6

Required Documentation

6.1 Requirements. Except as otherwise may be provided for herein, no Asbestos Property Damage Claim shall be Allowed unless the following documentation is submitted to the Property Damage Facility in support of the Asbestos Property Damage Claim. All documentation provided by a Claimant must be sufficient to constitute Convincing Evidence as required by these FB Property Damage Claims Procedures. The absence of one or more of the categories of documents set forth below shall not prejudice the allowance of, or constitute the basis for the disallowance of, a Claim if the Claimant certifies that, despite reasonable efforts, the required material could not be located. In such case, alternative documents or testimony that provides Convincing Evidence of the necessary facts to support the Claim shall be accepted. Claimants may also use evidence submitted and determinations made by the claims processing facilities in other asbestos bankruptcies to constitute Convincing Evidence, as appropriate, of the quantity of asbestos-containing product in their buildings or structures and/or their costs of Abatement.

 

- 8 -


6.2 Category 1 Claims. The following documentation must be supplied:

(a) A completed PD Claim Form, describing the location, type and quantity of asbestos-containing product and the installation date thereof, including a certification of the information contained therein; and

(b) Copies of all bulk sample analysis results and/or records thereof (existing as of the Effective Date) showing that abated material contained asbestos. The bulk sample analysis technique must be polarized light microscopy or another generally acceptable method, including those acceptable to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. A minimum of one sample from each Homogeneous Area for which Abatement Costs are claimed must have been analyzed; and

(c) Convincing Evidence that the asbestos-containing product that is the subject of the Claim is a Fibreboard asbestos-containing product, which the Trustee may confirm by any method and which confirmation shall be at the expense of the Claimant. Identification of Fibreboard asbestos-containing product may be established by any of the following, among others:

(i) constituent analysis of representative bulk sample(s) showing that the asbestos-containing product that is the subject of the Claim is a Fibreboard asbestos-containing product; or

(ii) a sworn affidavit of an individual with personal knowledge that Fibreboard asbestos-containing product was used in the building or structure for which the Claim is made, setting forth the individual’s conclusion that Fibreboard is the designer, manufacturer, supplier, distributer or seller of the asbestos-containing product and the factual basis for that conclusion; or

(iii) documentation evidencing that Fibreboard asbestos-containing product was used in the building or structure for which the Claim is made including, without limitation, sales invoices; purchase orders; architectural specifications and records; bid documents; contracts and subcontracts; change orders; material approvals; maintenance, repair and renovation records; complaints to contractors; installation records; advertisements; insurance claims; supplier records; documents from discovery in lawsuits; and Fibreboard records. For this purpose, a specification without some additional substantiating proof that Fibreboard asbestos-containing product was used shall not sustain a Claim; or

(iv) A prior judicial determination or stipulation entered into by Fibreboard that the asbestos-containing product that is the subject of the Claim is Fibreboard asbestos-containing product; and

(d) Convincing Evidence supporting a Claim for Abatement Costs including one or more of the following:

(i) a copy of a report from a Qualified Person or Asbestos Coordinator describing the type, location, and quantity of asbestos-containing product, and type and scope of Abatement which was performed; or

 

- 9 -


(ii) copies of receipted bills, or vouchers or other proof of all Abatement Costs; or

(iii) copies of bid specifications and contracts for all Abatement work performed by persons other than the Claimant’s employees; or

(v) with respect to costs attributable to Abatement performed by Claimant’s employees, copies of personnel contracts or other proof of the salary of Claimant’s employees and the number of hours spent by them on Abatement, including a breakdown of those activities. Such proof shall include a sworn statement by Claimant setting forth the basis for attributing such employee costs to and/or Abatement and the job description and qualifications of each such employee; and

(e) Claimants submitting a Claim for Future Abatement Costs must supply a copy of the report of a Qualified Person or an Asbestos Coordinator detailing information sufficient for the Trustee to apply the Cost Model based on the type, location and quantity of Fibreboard or asbestos-containing product and type and scope of Abatement to be performed.

6.3 Category 2 Claims. The following documentation must be provided:

(a) A completed Property Damage Claim Form, describing the location, type and quantity of asbestos-containing product and the installation date thereof, including a certification of the information contained therein; and

(b) Convincing Evidence that the asbestos-containing product that is the subject of the Claim is a Fibreboard asbestos-containing product, which the Trustee may confirm by any method and which confirmation shall be at the expense of the Claimant.

ARTICLE 7

Payment of Asbestos Property Damage Claims

7.1 Payment Procedures.

(a) To the extent that Claims, as a part of a voluntary procedure, have not already been liquidated during the these Reorganization Cases, or are not in the process of being liquidated, the Trustee shall use these procedures to process all Claims as quickly as practicable after the Effective Date. Claims shall be processed on a first-in-first-out (“FIFO”) order.

(b) As soon as all Claims submitted to the FB Property Damage Trust according to these FB Property Damage Claims Procedures have been finally determined to be Allowed Claims or Disallowed Claims, the Trustee, in consultation with the PD Advisory Committee, shall calculate the total Allowed Amount of all Allowed Category 1 Claims and the total Allowed Amount of all Allowed Category 2 Claims.

 

- 10 -


(c) The FB Asbestos Property Damage Trust is funded with Assets primarily consisting of rights to insurance recoveries (the “Recoveries”) under liability insurance policies issued to Fibreboard for FB Asbestos Property Damage Claims and identified in Schedule XVI to the Plan. The Trust shall use the Recoveries to pay holders of Allowed Claims pursuant to these FB Property Damage Claims Procedures.

(d) Upon receiving all of the Recoveries from the Assets, or 5 years from the Effective Date, whichever occurs first, the Trustee shall determine the amounts to be paid to holders of Allowed Claims based on the total amount of Recoveries available at that time (“Available Recoveries”).

(i) Allowed Category 1 Claims shall be paid based on the following calculations: The Trustee shall subtract the total Allowed Amount of all Allowed Category 2 Claims from the Available Recoveries to determine the Available Recoveries remaining to compensate holders of Allowed Category 1 Claims (“Remaining Available Recoveries”). The Trustee, in consultation with the PD Advisory Committee, shall then determine the Payment Percentage to be used to pay holders of Allowed Category 1 Claims based on the Remaining Available Recoveries. Holders of Allowed Category 1 Claims shall then receive payment calculated on the basis of the Payment Percentage multiplied by the Allowed Amount of their Claim.

(ii) Allowed Category 2 Claims shall be paid their Discounted Payable Costs calculated in accordance with Exhibit 1; except that, if the Remaining Available Recoveries are insufficient to pay holders of Allowed Category 1 Claims at least as much as they would have received had they submitted their Claim as a Category 2 Claim, then all of the holders of Allowed Claims, regardless of claim category, shall receive their pro rata share of all Available Recoveries.

(iii) Should additional recoveries (“Additional Recoveries”) from the Assets become available after payment has been made to holders of Allowed Claims pursuant to Sub-sections 7.1(d)(i) – (ii), as soon as practicable after they become available, the Additional Recoveries shall be distributed to holders of Allowed Claims pursuant to Sub-sections 7.1(d)(i)-(ii); provided that holders of Allowed Category 2 Claims shall not be entitled to receive more than their Discounted Payable Costs, such that any Additional Recoveries that become available after all holders of Allowed Category 2 Claims have received their total Allowed Amounts shall be paid only to holders of Allowed Category 1 Claims based on the Payment Percentage; provided further that holders of Allowed Category 1 Claims shall not be entitled to receive more than their Allowed Amount.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision above, if the Claimant has previously received payment through any other lawsuit or bankruptcy case for damages that would qualify as Allowed Costs under these procedures for the same asbestos-containing product for which it is now seeking payment from the Trust, the amount actually received from the Trust attributable to that asbestos-containing product shall be adjusted. The payment that would otherwise have been received from the Trust shall be reduced to the extent necessary to ensure that the amount received herein, when combined with the payment received in the prior lawsuit or bankruptcy, will not allow the Claimant to receive more than 100% of its Allowed Costs for said asbestos-containing product.

 

- 11 -


7.2 Timing of Payments. Payments to holders of Allowed Claims shall be made as soon as practicable after Available Recoveries or Additional Recoveries become available.

 

- 12 -


EXHIBIT 1

1. Except as otherwise may be the case pursuant to sections 2 and 3, below, Claimants who elect Category 2 treatment for their claims shall receive Discounted Payable Costs based upon the quantity of asbestos-containing product identified in the building(s) or structure(s) specified in their respective Property Damage Claim Forms. Any such Claim must be supported by the documentation required in Section 6.3 and shall be reviewed and approved by the Property Damage Facility using the procedures set forth in Section V. One-hundred percent (100%) of the quantity of asbestos-containing product approved by the Property Damage Facility shall be used in computing a Claimant’s Allowed Claim where Past Abatement Costs have been incurred for the relevant asbestos-containing product; sixty-five percent (65%) of the quantity of approved asbestos-containing product shall be used in computing a Claimant’s Allowed Claim where such Past Abatement Costs have not been incurred.

2. After determining the aggregate allowed amounts of the quantity of asbestos-containing product as provided in paragraph 1, hereof, and subject to the provisions of paragraph 3, below, the Trustee shall Allow each Category 2 Claimant Discounted Payable Costs in the amount of $1.00 times each linear and/or square foot of asbestos-containing product. If there are not sufficient funds to pay all Discounted Payable Costs in full, the available funds will be distributed, pro rata, among the holders of the Category 2 Claims.

3. To further encourage the efficient and consensual resolution of Claims, a Claimant may propose to the Trustee, within six months of the Effective Date, that, in lieu of the provisions of paragraph 1, that its Discounted Payable Cost be determined on the basis of a lump-sum settlement, based on either evidence of a relevant settlement history, an extrapolation of the quantity of asbestos-containing product for the type or types of asbestos-containing product for which it seeks payment, or a combination of the two methods. The following procedures then shall apply:

(a) The Claimant’s proposal must be accompanied by supporting information, including, at a minimum:

(i) the relevant history of prior settlements in the tort system (whether or not this is the basis for Claimant’s proposal); and

(ii) amounts the Claimant has received in connection with other asbestos bankruptcies and the basis upon which those payments were made.

The Claimant may, but need not, include a specific amount it proposes for settlement.

(b) Upon receiving a proposal to settle for a lump-sum, the Trustee may either accept the initial specific amount proposed by the Claimant or enter into good-faith negotiations with the Claimant to determine such a lump-sum settlement amount. The Trustee’s initial response to the proposal must be made to the Claimant within two months after receiving the Claimant’s proposal.


(c) If within two months after the Trustee’s initial response they have not agreed with the Claimant upon a lump-sum settlement, the Trustee may, but need not, declare an impasse, in which case, the parties may continue to negotiate until such time as the Trustee declares an impasse. Thereafter, the Claimant will be given a minimum of an additional four months to file a Category 2 Claim, pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 1, above.

(d) In their negotiations with the Claimant, the Trustee shall take into account all matters they deem relevant including, but not limited to, prior settlements reached by the Claimant in the tort system; amounts the Claimant has received in connection with other asbestos bankruptcies and the basis upon which those payments were made; the amount of Past Abatement Costs incurred by the Claimant versus the Future Abatement Costs to be incurred by the priority accorded to Past Abatement Costs herein; the total quantity of asbestos-containing product present in the Claimant’s buildings or structures as determined by extrapolation or other means as compared with the aggregate quantity submitted by all other Category 2 Claimants; the limitation of total payments per square or linear foot of asbestos-containing product set forth in paragraph 2 above; and the Discounted Payable Costs being sought by the other Category 2 Claimants.

(e) The Trustee’s offer to the Claimant of a lump sum settlement may be expressed in terms of an allowed amount of Discounted Payable Costs and/or an actual cash payment the Claimant may expect to receive.

(f) If the Trustee and the Claimant agree upon an Allowed Amount based upon Discounted Payable Costs, that amount will be included in the aggregate amount of Discounted Payable Costs described in paragraph 2, above, and the Claimant will receive its appropriate pro rata share from the funds available.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Trustee has the discretion to defer making any settlement offer for an actual cash payment until he or she has processed and determined the aggregate quantity of asbestos-containing product used in computing all other Claims submitted by the Category 2 Claimants.

J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.

270 Park Avenue

New York, New York 10017

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Subject to the approval of this Agreement by the Bankruptcy Court (as defined below), Owens Corning, a Delaware corporation (as a debtor-in-possession and a reorganized debtor, as applicable, the “Company”), proposes to offer and sell shares of its new common stock, par value $0.10 per share, to be issued pursuant to its Amended Plan (as defined below) (together with any associated share purchase rights other than the Rights (as defined below), “New Common Stock”), pursuant to a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) whereby each holder of a Bondholder Claim, and each Holder of an Allowed Class A6-A Claim or an Allowed Class A6-B Claim (each an “Eligible Holder”), as of the date (the “Record Date”) fixed by the Bankruptcy Court for the solicitation of acceptances and rejections of the Amended Plan, shall be offered the right (each, a “Right”) to purchase up to its Pro Rata share of 72,900,000 shares (each a “Share”) of New Common Stock at a purchase price of $30.00 per Share (the “Purchase Price”). Each capitalized term used but not defined in this letter (the “Agreement”) shall have the meaning given to it in the Fifth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization for Owens Corning and its Affiliated Debtors and Debtors-In-Possession filed on December 31, 2005 (as it may have been amended or supplemented, the “Existing Plan”).

In order to facilitate the Rights Offering, pursuant to this Agreement, and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (the “Investor”), agrees to purchase on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2), and the Company agrees to sell, for the Purchase Price per share, a number of shares of New Common Stock equal to 72,900,000 minus the number of shares of New Common Stock offered pursuant to the Rights Offering purchased on or before the Expiration Time (as defined below) in the Rights Offering (such Shares in the aggregate, the “Unsubscribed Shares”).

The Company will conduct the Rights Offering pursuant to an amended plan of reorganization (the “Amended Plan”), which shall include only those revisions, modifications and amendments to the Existing Plan as necessary to incorporate the Company’s proposed restructuring transactions described in the term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Settlement Term Sheet”) and such other revisions, modifications and amendments that the Company and the other proponents of the Amended Plan (“Amended Plan Proponents”) deem necessary or appropriate and that shall not (i) materially adversely affect the obligations or rights of the Investor hereunder, (ii) cause any representation or warranty contained herein to be incorrect or (iii) be inconsistent with the terms of the Settlement Term Sheet, and shall be approved by the court (together with the applicable District Court, to the extent District Court approval of the Amended Plan is sought or required, the “Bankruptcy Court”) administering the Company’s proceedings (the “Proceedings”) under the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101, et seq.

Simultaneously with the delivery of this Agreement, (i) the Company (subject, however, to Bankruptcy Court approval), the Asbestos Claimants Committee, the Future Claimants’ Representative and certain Bondholders have entered into the Lockup Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) and (ii) the Investor and certain Persons (collectively, the “Ultimate Purchasers”) have entered into a syndication agreement (the “Syndication Agreement”), pursuant to which the Ultimate Purchasers have agreed to purchase certain Unsubscribed Shares from the Investor in the event the Investor purchases Unsubscribed Shares under this Agreement.

In consideration of the foregoing, and the representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the Company and the Investor agree as follows:

1. The Rights Offering. The Rights Offering will be conducted as follows:

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Bankruptcy Court approval), the Company hereby undertakes to offer Shares for subscription by holders of Rights as set forth in this Agreement.

(b) In connection with the Amended Plan the Company shall issue Rights to purchase 72,900,000 Shares in the aggregate. Each Eligible Holder as of the Record Date will receive a Right to purchase up to its Pro Rata share of 72,900,000 Shares. The ballot form(s) (the “Ballots”) distributed in connection with the solicitation of acceptance of the Amended Plan shall provide a place whereby each Eligible Holder may exercise its Right. The Rights may be exercised during a period (the “Rights Exercise Period”) specified in the Amended Plan, which period will commence on the date the Ballots are distributed and will end at the Expiration Time. For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Expiration Time” means 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the 20th calendar day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) after the date the Ballots are distributed under the Amended Plan, or such later date as the Company, subject to the approval of the Investor (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the reasonable consent of the other Amended Plan Proponents, may specify in a notice provided to the Investor before 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the Business Day before the then-effective Expiration Time. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday that is not a day on which banking institutions in New York City are generally authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close. Subject to the approval of this Agreement by the Bankruptcy Court, the Amended Plan shall provide that in order to exercise a Right, each Eligible Holder shall, prior to the Expiration Time, (i) return a duly executed Ballot to the Subscription Agent (as defined below) and (ii) pay an amount equal to the full purchase price of the number of shares of New Common Stock elected to be purchased by such Eligible Holder by wire transfer of immediately available funds reasonably in advance of the date on which the hearing to confirm the Amended Plan is scheduled to commence (the “Confirmation Hearing”) to an escrow account established for the Rights Offering.

(c) There will be no over-subscription rights provided in connection with the Rights Offering.

(d) The Company will issue the Shares to the Eligible Holders with respect to which Rights were validly exercised by such holder upon the effective date of the Amended Plan (the “Effective Date”). If the exercise of a Right would result in the issuance of a fractional share of New Common Stock, then the number of shares of New Common Stock to be issued in respect of such Right will be calculated to one decimal place and rounded down to the next lower whole share.

(e) The Amended Plan will provide that the Company or the Subscription Agent (as defined below) will give notice to each Eligible Holder with respect to which Rights were validly exercised by such holder, advising them of (i) the number of whole shares of New Common Stock that they are bound to purchase pursuant to the Rights Offering, and the aggregate purchase price thereof and (ii) the date or time after the notice by which a wire transfer of such purchase price must be received and (iii) wire transfer instructions for wiring such purchase price to the subscription agent for the Rights Offering (the “Subscription Agent”) or another person designated by the Company.

(f) The Company hereby agrees and undertakes to give the Investor by electronic facsimile transmission the certification by an executive officer of the Company conforming to the requirements specified herein for such certification of either (i) the number of Unsubscribed Shares and the aggregate Purchase Price therefor (a “Purchase Notice”) or (ii) in the absence of any Unsubscribed Shares, the fact that there are no Unsubscribed Shares and that the Backstop Commitment (as defined below) is terminated (a “Satisfaction Notice”) as soon as practicable after the Expiration Time and, in any event, reasonably in advance of the Closing Date (to be specified in the Agreement Order) (the date of transmission of confirmation of a Purchase Notice or a Satisfaction Notice, the “Determination Date”).

-23-


indemnification will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent that they are finally judicially determined to have resulted from (i) bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Person or (ii) statements or omissions in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto made in reliance upon or in conformity with information relating to the Investor or the Ultimate Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of the Investor or the Ultimate Purchaser expressly for use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and such Indemnified Person on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. It is hereby agreed that the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and all Indemnified Persons on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (i) the total value received or proposed to be received by the Company pursuant to the sale of Shares contemplated by this Agreement bears to (ii) the fee paid or proposed to be paid to the Investor in connection with such sale. The Indemnifying Party also agree that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability based on their exclusive or contributory negligence or otherwise to the Indemnifying Party, any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of any of the Indemnifying Party, or any other person in connection with or as a result of the Rights Offering, the Backstop Commitment, the Transaction Documents, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the transactions contemplated thereby, except as to any Indemnified Person to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liability or expenses incurred by the Company are finally judicially determined to have resulted from (i) bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person in performing the services that are the subject of this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement or (ii) statements or omissions in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto made in reliance upon or in conformity with information relating to the Investor or the Ultimate Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of the Investor or the Ultimate Purchaser expressly for use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto; provided, however, that in no event shall an Indemnified Person or such other parties have any liability for any indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with or as a result of any of their activities related to the foregoing. The indemnity, reimbursement and contribution obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Party may otherwise have to an Indemnified Person and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Indemnifying Party and any Indemnified Person.

(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to the Transaction Documents, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any of the transactions contemplated thereby (“Proceedings”), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made hereunder against the Indemnifying Party in respect thereof, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that (i) the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have hereunder except to the extent it has been

 

-24-


materially prejudiced by such failure and (ii) the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than on account of this Section 8. In case any such Proceedings are brought against any Indemnified Person and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, provided that if the defendants in any such Proceedings include both such Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Person shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Person shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Proceedings on behalf of such Indemnified Person. Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Person of its election so to assume the defense of such Proceedings and approval by such Indemnified Person of counsel, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless (i) such Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, approved by Investor, representing the Indemnified Persons who are parties to such Proceedings), (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person to represent such Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the Proceedings or (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Person.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceedings effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If any settlement of any Proceeding is consummated with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such Proceedings, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, the provisions of this Section 8. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8 to the contrary, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested the Indemnifying Party to reimburse such Indemnified Person for legal or other expenses in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any Proceedings as contemplated by this Section 8, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceedings effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than (x) 60 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such request for reimbursement and (y) 30 days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of the material terms of such settlement and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed such Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceedings in respect of which indemnity has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless (a) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability on the claims that are the subject matter of such Proceedings and (b) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

9. Survival of Representations and Warranties, Etc. Notwithstanding any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of any party hereto, all representations and warranties made in this Agreement will survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing Date, except that the representations and warranties made in Sections 3(i), (n), (p) (q) and (s)-(aa) will only survive for a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date.

10. Termination.

(a) The Investor may terminate this Agreement:

(i) On or after June 30, 2006, if the Bankruptcy Court has not entered the Agreement Order;

(ii) On or after October 31, 2006; provided that if the Company notifies the Investor in writing by 3:00 p.m. New York City time on or before October 24, 2006 that it wishes to extend such date until December 15, 2006, then the Investor may not terminate pursuant to this paragraph (a)(ii) until December 15, 2006, provided that, as a condition to the effectiveness of such extension, the Company has paid to the Investor not later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time on October 31, 2006, a fee (the “Extension Fee”) in the amount of $30,000,000, which amount will be paid to the Investor by the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds;

(iii) Upon the failure of the Company to pay the Extension Fee, if any, when due;

(iv) Upon the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7 hereof to be satisfied, which failure cannot be cured by October 31, 2006 or, if the Extension Fee has been paid, December 15, 2006; or

(v) If the Company makes a public announcement, enters into an agreement, or files any pleading or document with the Bankruptcy Court, evidencing its intention to support, or otherwise supports, any Competing Transaction.

(b) Prior to the entry of the Agreement Order, the Company may provide written notice to the Investor of its determination not to proceed with the transactions contemplated hereby, whereupon this Agreement will terminate.

(c) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10(b) and at the time of such termination the Investor is in compliance in all material respects with this Agreement, then, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the Company shall pay the Investor $20,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”), and, in any case, the Company shall pay to the Investor any Transaction Expenses and any other amounts certified by the Investor to be due and payable hereunder that have not been paid theretofore. Payment of the amounts due under this Section 10(c), will be made by wire transfer of federal (same day) funds to the account specified by the receiving party at least 24 hours in advance to the other party hereto. The provision for the

 

-26-


payment of the Termination Fee is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without this provision the Investor would not have entered into this Agreement and shall, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, constitute an administrative expense of the Company under section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, if payment shall become due and payable pursuant to this Section, and suit is commenced which results in a final judgment against the Company no longer subject to appeal, the Company shall pay to the Investor its costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, in connection with collecting or enforcing its rights and remedies hereunder.

(d) In no event will the Termination Fee, if any, be refundable upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.

(e) Upon termination under this Section 10, the covenants and agreements made by the parties herein under Sections 8, 9 and 11 through 18 will survive indefinitely in accordance with their terms.

12. Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement will be assigned by any of the parties (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, this Agreement, or the Investor’s obligations hereunder, may be assigned, delegated or transferred, in whole or in part, by the Investor to any Affiliate (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) of the Investor over which the Investor or any of its Affiliates exercises investment authority, including, without limitation, with respect to voting and dispositive rights; provided, that any such assignee assumes the obligations of the Investor hereunder and agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement in the same manner as the Investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions herein, no such assignment will relieve the Investor of its obligations hereunder if such assignee fails to perform such obligations. Except as provided in Section 8 with respect to the Indemnified Parties, this Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to in this Agreement) is not intended to and does not confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies under this Agreement.

13. Prior Negotiations; Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the agreements attached as exhibits to and the documents and instruments referred to in this Agreement) constitutes the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements or understandings, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, except that the parties hereto acknowledge that any confidentiality agreements heretofore executed among the parties will continue in full force and effect.

14. GOVERNING LAW; VENUE. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF

 

-28-


DELAWARE. THE INVESTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF, AND VENUE IN, THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS.

15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party (including via facsimile or other electronic transmission), it being understood that each party need not sign the same counterpart.

16. Waivers and Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, cancelled, renewed or extended, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by the parties or, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance, and subject, to the extent required, to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. No delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of any party of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement. The rights and remedies provided pursuant to this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any party otherwise may have at law or in equity.

17. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

18. Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge and agree that any breach of the terms of this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy, and, accordingly, the parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each will be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without the necessity of posting bond.

19. Modifications Necessary to Reflect Corporate Restructuring. The Amended Plan currently contemplates that, on the Effective Date, the Company intends to effect a restructuring plan which would organize the Company and its subsidiaries along the Company’s major business lines. This restructuring plan may result in the creation of a new Delaware company to serve as the parent corporation and holding company for the Company and its subsidiaries (“Holdco”). To the extent that such plan to create the Holdco structure is pursued with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the parties hereto shall consider in good faith making appropriate modifications to this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement to accommodate the Holdco structure.
