Entities Listed on Exhibit “B” Regarding the Tolling of Statute of Limitations (the “Sixth 

Amended Stipulation”) [ECF No. 21657].

other than COFINA (the “Creditors’ Committee”) have informed counsel to the Moving Parties

Relief Requested

18. In an effort to promote judicial economy and avoid litigation at this time, the Title 

III Debtors have agreed, among other things, to toll the statute of limitations in connection with 

the Causes of Action so that the Statutory Deadlines shall expire one hundred and eighty (180) 

days after the date in which the Statutory Deadlines would have expired in the absence of the 

Seventh Amended Stipulation. Such tolling period may be shortened or extended upon 

appropriate notice being provided to the Court and counsel to the Creditors’ Committee.

19. The extension of the Statutory Deadlines agreed to in the Sixth Amended 

Stipulation will soon expire, and in the absence of a further extension, the Title III Debtors could 

either choose to commence the Causes of Action or face immediate demands to do so by the 

Creditors’ Committee or other entities. Either option would result in further imminent litigation, 

burdening the parties and the Court. To avoid (or at least delay) that result, the Moving Parties, 

after consultation with the Creditors’ Committee, have elected to extend the Statutory Deadlines 

as set forth in the Seventh Amended Stipulation. 

20. Accordingly, the Seventh Amended Stipulation attached hereto as Exhibit A has 

been executed by the Moving Parties and is now being presented to this Court through this 

Urgent Motion for approval. 

21. Pursuant to Paragraph I.H of the Case Management Procedures, the Moving 

Parties hereby certify that they have carefully examined the matter and concluded that there is a 

true need for an urgent motion; have not created the urgency through any lack of due diligence; 

have made a bona fide effort to resolve the matter without a hearing; and have made reasonable, 

good-faith communications in an effort to resolve or narrow the issues that are being brought to 

the Court.

relief as is just and proper.

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED THAT:

AGREEMENT

1. The period in which Causes of Action of the Title III Debtors must be 

commenced against any of the Governmental Entities pursuant to sections 546(a), 549(d), and 

108(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Statutory Deadlines”) shall be tolled such that the 

Statutory Deadlines shall expire one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date on which the 

Statutory Deadlines would have expired in the absence of this Seventh Amended Stipulation

(and 1,531 days after the date on which the Statutory Deadlines would have expired in the 

absence of the Stipulation) unless the Commonwealth or AAFAF provides written notice of early 

termination (the “Termination Notice”) to (a) the Court, through the filing of an informative 

motion, and (b) counsel to the statutory committee of unsecured creditors appointed in the cases 

other than COFINA (the “Creditors’ Committee”), by serving a copy of such Termination Notice 

upon Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166, Attn: Luc A. Despins, Esq., 

by email transmission (lucdespins@paulhastings.com), in which case, the Statutory Deadlines 

shall expire on the date that is one hundred fifty (150) days from the delivery of such 

Termination Notice plus the number of days between the Stipulation Effective Date (as defined 

below), and the date on which the Statutory Deadlines would have expired in the absence of this 

Stipulation to the Court; provided, however, that the foregoing is without prejudice to (y) the 

rights, interests, and defenses that may be raised by AAFAF or any of the Governmental Entities

in connection with any such Causes of Action, other than the applicable statute of limitations, 

laches, or any other time-related defense, except that AAFAF and the Governmental Entities 

expressly reserve the right to argue that (i) any applicable statute of limitation or statute of repose 

applicable to a Cause of Action expired prior to the date of execution of the Stipulation; (ii) that

Section 108(a) of the Bankruptcy Code does not apply to extend the time for filing any Cause of 

Action to which a statute of repose applies; and (iii) a statute of repose may not be extended by 

an agreement of the parties; provided, however, that any party reserves the right to oppose any 

such argument; and, provided, further, that, if a statute of repose may be extended by an 

agreement of the parties, this Stipulation shall serve as such an agreement, and (z) the treatment 

of the Statutory Deadlines or any Cause of Action as may be provided in a plan of adjustment for 

any of the Title III Debtors, subject to the approval, effectiveness, and consummation of any 

such plan of adjustment; provided, however, that any such plan of adjustment may not 

retroactively terminate or reduce the Statutory Deadlines applicable to any Cause of Action that

was timely asserted.

2. The Parties hereto shall have the right to extend the period set forth in Paragraph 

1 above for a period specified in writing upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice and service of 

such notice upon the Court and counsel for the Creditors’ Committee; provided, however, that, in 

the event that the Creditors’ Committee opposes such extension or any of the terms thereof, the 

Creditors’ Committee may seek upon notice and a hearing, to terminate the existing tolled statute 

of limitations period prior to the applicable expiration date, or to preclude the contemplated 

extension thereof. 

3. The persons signing this Stipulation on behalf of the Oversight Board, the Title III 

Debtors, and AAFAF (on behalf of the Governmental Entities) have the authority to bind such

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:23083 Filed:12/16/22 Entered:12/16/22 14:35:07 Desc: Main

Document Page 14 of 19

parties. AAFAF’s authority exists under Act 2-2017, the Enabling Act of the Fiscal Agency and 

Financial Advisory Authority.

4. This Stipulation shall apply to and be binding upon the Title III Debtors, AAFAF, 

and the Governmental Entities, together with their successor and assigns, including, without 

limitation, any trustee that may be appointed pursuant to section 926 of the Bankruptcy Code in 

the Title III Cases, or any other party or person granted authority to pursue a Cause of Action (all 

rights to object to any application to appoint a trustee pursuant to section 926 of the Bankruptcy 

Code or to otherwise seek authority to pursue a Cause of Action are expressly preserved). 

5. This Stipulation shall become effective upon the date the Court enters an order 

approving this Stipulation (the “Stipulation Effective Date”). 

6. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Stipulation to the contrary, it is the 

intent of the Title III Debtors and the effect of this Stipulation to extend the Statutory Deadlines 

as to Causes of Action of the type described in recitals N and O hereof as among all Title III 

Debtors other than COFINA. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Seventh Amended 

Stipulation shall affect the Statutory Deadlines set forth in the (i) Supplemental Stipulation 

Between the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the Employees Retirement System of the 

Government of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico Regarding the Tolling of Statute of 

Limitations and Order [ECF No. 10293]; and (ii) Seventh Amended Stipulation Between the 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rico Highways and Transportation Authority 

Regarding the Tolling of Statute of Limitations and Consent Order [ECF No. 21659] (as may be 

amended, modified, or supplemented).
