interest thereon, are fully met and discharged and (ii) to take no action that would (A) impair the 

first-priority lien on and first-priority security interest in the Trust Estate, (B) impair the senior 

lien and senior security interest on the Trust Estate granted to the holders of New HTA Bonds, 

which shall in all respects be senior and superior to the subordinate lien and subordinate security 

interest on the Trust Estate granted to the holders of outstanding Subordinated Indebtedness, (C) 

impair or prevent the monthly deposits of Toll Receipts as set forth in subsection (i) of this

that such New HTA Bonds are valid, legally binding and enforceable pursuant to the HTA 

Confirmation Order.

(q) Retention of Jurisdiction: The Title III Court shall retain jurisdiction to 

enforce the HTA Plan, the New HTA Bonds, and the New HTA Bonds Indenture, including,

hereby designated to enforce this HTA Plan, the New HTA Bonds and the New HTA Bonds 

Indenture, including, without limitation, the Toll Rate Covenant.

Government Parties obtain a determination from the IRS or an opinion from Section 103 Bond 

Counsel (collectively, a “Determination”) that all of the New HTA Bonds to be issued on the 

HTA Effective Date are tax-exempt, the holders of any Claims receiving New HTA Bonds 

pursuant to the HTA Plan shall receive the benefit of such Determination in the form of taxexempt New HTA Bonds issued pursuant to the HTA Plan with coupons for all maturities equal 

to the coupons on the tax-exempt New HTA Bonds set forth on Exhibit “D” hereto; provided, 

however, that, in the event that the Determination is obtained subsequent to the HTA Effective

Date, then the holders of the taxable New HTA Bonds affected by such Determination (the 

“Invited Bonds”) shall be invited to exchange such bonds for converted bonds (the “Exchange 

Offer”) and, subject to the application of all reasonable expenses incurred by the Government 

Parties in connection with such Exchange Offer, the interest rate on the converted bonds shall be 

the same as the interest on Invited Bonds of the same type, interest rate, series and maturity; and,

provided, further, that, such converted bonds shall be accompanied by the favorable opinion of 

Section 103 Bond Counsel that the interest, other than pre-issuance accrued interest, on such 

converted bonds, and on the Invited Bonds exchanged for such converted bonds from the 

original date of delivery of such Invited Bonds so exchanged, is, in such counsel’s opinion, 

excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and from U.S., state, 

Commonwealth and local income taxation; and, provided, further, that, in the event that neither 

of the foregoing determinations are obtained, the covenants to seek such determinations shall 

terminate upon the earlier to occur of (1) June 15, 2022, (2) notification by the IRS to the 

Commonwealth that IRS is unable to issue a favorable private letter ruling, closing agreement or 

other type of IRS determination with respect to the matters addressed by this subsection, and (3) 

the amendment of the New HTA Bonds Indenture following receipt of a favorable determination

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:21769 Filed:08/07/22 Entered:08/07/22 15:27:58 Desc: Main

Document Page 67 of 134
53

Policy Period, Reorganized HTA shall maintain and comply with a Debt Management Policy 

designed to ensure that certain past Debt issuance practices of HTA are not repeated. While

Reorganized HTA may revise and update its Debt Management Policy to reflect changing bond 

market conditions and standards, the Debt Management Policy shall, unless otherwise approved, 

in writing, by the Oversight Board, at all times include the following principles and limitations: 

(a) Long-Term Borrowing for Capital Improvements Only: To ensure 

Reorganized HTA achieves and maintains a structurally balanced budget consistent with 

PROMESA’s requirement that Puerto Rico return to fiscal responsibility, Debt issued by HTA 

after the HTA Effective Date may only be incurred to finance Capital Improvements, as

determined by HTA and approved by AAFAF, and, to the extent not terminated, the Oversight 

Board, or to refinance Debt in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 25.3(d) 

hereof. Proceeds derived from any such issuance may be used to cover any and all direct and 

indirect expenses that, in HTA’s reasonable discretion, are necessary to carry out such Capital 

Improvements, including, without limitation, any and all expenses incurred in connection with 

the issuance itself.

(b) 30-Year Maturity Limitation on All Borrowings: No Debt issued by 

HTA after the HTA Effective Date may have a legal final maturity later than thirty (30) years 

from the date of its original issuance, and no such Debt may be refinanced by any Debt 

extending such legal final maturity date beyond such original thirty (30)-year maturity date 

limitation; provided, however, that, the foregoing shall not apply to Debt issued to refinance

New HTA Bonds. 

(c) Required Principal Amortization: No Debt issued from and after the 

HTA Effective Date may be issued unless its principal commences to amortize within two (2) 

years from the placed-in-service date of the project being financed, and continues amortizing in 

each and every year until such Debt is no longer outstanding.

(d) Refinancings Permitted only for Cash Flow Savings in Every Fiscal

Year: Refinancings of Debt are permitted only if (i) there is no increase in the amount of bond 

principal and interest payable in any fiscal year and (ii) such refinancing produces positive 

present value savings, after taking into consideration transaction expenses, at the levels specified 

by Reorganized HTA in its Debt Management Policy; provided, however, that, refinancings 

without cash flow savings in every FY are permitted if the refinancing is completed in direct 

response to a hurricane, earthquake, pandemic, terrorism or other natural disaster and similar 

emergencies and the debt service due in any future FY does not increase by more than ten 

percent (10%) and the financing is required by its terms to be repaid in full within ten (10) years.

(e) Fiscal Plan Debt Service: Any post-HTA Effective Date HTA Fiscal Plan 

shall include provisions for the payment, in each FY of principal and interest (and/or accreted 

value, as applicable) with respect to the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, 

sinking fund payments due in such FY. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall prohibit Reorganized HTA from 

adopting, maintaining and complying with a Debt Management Policy that is more restrictive 

than the requirements set forth above. The Debt Management Policy shall be in addition to any 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:21769 Filed:08/07/22 Entered:08/07/22 15:27:58 Desc: Main

other limitations imposed by law and nothing contained herein shall be construed as superseding, 

amending, or repealing any additional restrictions imposed by the Commonwealth Constitution.

Insured Bonds are in full force or effect, or have otherwise been fully performed by Assured, 

with no outstanding payment defaults by Assured with respect to such Assured Insured Bonds up

Insured Bonds, and such Assured Insured Bonds selected by Assured shall be paid by Assured, 

in full, on the HTA Effective Date, at an Assured Acceleration Price equal to the outstanding 

principal amount of such Assured Insured Bonds, plus the accrued and unpaid interest thereon 

(or, in the case of any capital appreciation bonds, the compounded amount thereof) as of the date

of payment in accordance with the Assured Insurance Policies insuring the relevant Assured 

Insured Bonds; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Assured shall not be 

required to pay itself any Assured Acceleration Price with respect to any Assured Insured Bonds 

owned by Assured, by subrogation or otherwise, and Assured shall receive the Assured Plan 

Consideration on account of such Assured Insured Bonds owned by Assured. Payment of the

applicable Assured Plan Consideration in accordance with terms acceptable to Assured. The 

interests granted in a custodial trust, escrow arrangement, or similar structure established in

Assured Insured Bonds shall be due and payable from and after the HTA Effective Date at the 

Assured Acceleration Price of one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount thereof, plus

amount thereof) to the date of payment. Without limiting the foregoing, pursuant to the 

applicable Assured Insurance Policies, (A) Assured may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, 

to make any principal payment, in whole or in part, on any date on which such principal payment 

is due by reason of acceleration or other advancement of maturity, and (B) in the case of any 

Assured Insured Bonds the holders of which have elected (or are deemed to have elected) 

Assured Bondholder Election 2, Assured will retain the right to pay the Assured Acceleration 

Price and fully satisfy its obligations with respect to such bonds and the applicable Assured 

Insurance Policies at any time after the HTA Effective Date upon thirty (30) days’ prior written 

notice to the relevant holders. Assured’s retention of this right will be reflected in the applicable 

custodial trust or escrow documentation. From and after payment of the Assured Acceleration 

Price, including without limitation, on (i) the HTA Effective Date or (ii) such other date of 

payment selected by Assured, with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, interest on such Assured

provision of the HTA Plan, on the HTA Effective Date, HTA shall be deemed to have assigned

holders of Assured Insured Bond Claims shall be made by the Oversight Board to Assured in

owners of Dual-Insured Bonds (rather than to Assured as the holder of the related HTA 98 

Senior Bond Claims) pursuant to decretal paragraph 52 of the Commonwealth Confirmation 

Order, such Cash distributions shall be deemed to have reduced the principal amounts of such 

Dual-Insured Bonds as of the date of such Cash distributions and to have resulted in a 

corresponding reduction in FGIC’s obligations under the applicable FGIC Insurance Policies and 

Assured’s obligations under the applicable Assured Insurance Policies. In the event any 

distributions of Cash are made on account of Dual-Insured Bonds to Assured as the holder of the 

related HTA 98 Senior Bond Claims pursuant to decretal paragraph 52 of the Commonwealth 

Confirmation Order, such Cash distributions shall be deemed to have reduced the principal 

amounts of such Dual-Insured Bonds as of the date of such Cash distributions and to have 

resulted in a corresponding reduction in FGIC’s obligations under the applicable FGIC Insurance 

Policies, but shall be deemed not to have reduced (i) Assured’s obligations under the applicable 

Assured Insurance Policies or (ii) the principal amount of any custody receipt evidencing a 

beneficial interest in such Dual-Insured Bonds and related Assured Insurance Policies.

26.2 and, subject to the rights of the HTA Fiscal Agent, National shall receive the National Plan 

Consideration on account of such bonds; and, provided, further, that, subject to providing holders 

of Allowed National Insured Bond Claims with the treatment or elections set forth in this Section 

26.2 and satisfying all such treatment or elections, National shall have all right, title and interest 

in the National HTA Consideration and shall manage the National HTA Consideration in its sole 

and absolute discretion subject to and in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations;

and, provided, further, that any calculations and/or payments to be made to a holder based on, or

the holder thereof shall have no other or further rights under or with respect to the applicable 

National Insurance Policy or any National Trust or National Escrow Account, (ii) the holder 

thereof shall not receive any payments from National under the National Insurance Policies on 

account of accrued and unpaid interest on and after, or, in the case of any capital appreciation 

bonds, the accreted value on and after, the Deemed Issuance Date, and to the extent any accrued 

or accreted interest is paid to such holder by National after such date, such amount shall be 

credited against the Cash such holder, their successors, transferees or assigns are otherwise 

entitled to receive as National Commutation Consideration, and (iii) National shall receive the 

National Plan Consideration distributable on account of the applicable Allowed National Insured

National with respect to National Insured Bonds up to and including the HTA Effective Date, the

National Insurance Policy, and National shall receive the National Plan Consideration that would 

be otherwise distributable to such holder, its successors, transferees, or assigns on account of its 

HTA 98 Sub Bond Claim (National).

provision of the HTA Plan, to the extent permitted pursuant to applicable definitive documents 

and not inconsistent with the rights provided in accordance with the applicable National 

Insurance Policy, on the HTA Effective Date, HTA shall be deemed to have assigned to National

any and all rights to redeem and call the National Insured Bonds and any related rights such that

however, that the form of the National Non-Commutation Treatment shall be selected by 

National in accordance with Section 26.2(b) hereof.

(National) or Allowed HTA 98 Senior Bond Claim (National) (1) fails to timely and validly elect 

the National Non-Commutation Treatment pursuant to Section 26.2(b) hereof, or (2) submits an 

election for less than all of its National Insured Bond Claims in a particular class (in which case, 

such election shall be void and of no force or effect), such holder shall be deemed to have elected 

to receive the National Commutation Treatment set forth in Section 26.2(a) hereof with respect 

to such National Insured Bond Claims, to commute the applicable National Insurance Policies, to 

release and discharge National’s obligations under such National Insurance Policies, and to 

receive distributions in accordance with Section 26.2(a) hereof. In addition, the National Insured 

Bonds of a holder of an Allowed HTA 68 Bond Claim (National) or Allowed HTA 98 Senior 

Bond Claim (National) that does not validly elect to receive the National Non-Commutation 

Treatment pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) above shall be deemed cancelled on the HTA Effective 

Date, and National’s obligations under the applicable National Insurance Policies shall be fully 

and finally satisfied, released, and discharged. 

26.3 Treatment of FGIC Insured Bond Claims: In the event that Classes 8 and 12

vote to accept the HTA Plan in accordance with the provisions of section 1126 of the Bankruptcy 

Code, and all FGIC Insurance Policies and related agreements relating to FGIC Insured Bonds

(a) FGIC Insured Bond Claims Treatment: Each holder of an Allowed 

FGIC Insured Bond Claim (except as provided in Section 26.3(b) hereof) shall (A) deposit, or be 

deemed to have deposited, among other things, such holder’s Pro Rata Share of the FGIC Plan 

Consideration, its proportionate share of the CW/HTA Clawback Recovery, and the FGIC 

Insured Bonds and related FGIC Insurance Policies allocable to such holder into the applicable 

FGIC Trust, and (B) be deemed to have received its Pro Rata Share of the FGIC Plan 

Consideration and FGIC Certificates in consideration therefor. All rights and remedies under 

and in accordance with FGIC Insured Bonds deposited into a FGIC Trust and the applicable 

related legislative bond resolutions (other than with respect to the payment obligations of the 

Commonwealth or its instrumentalities) and the applicable FGIC Insurance Policies (solely as 

they apply and relate to such FGIC Insured Bonds) shall be preserved and remain in full force 

and effect solely to the extent necessary to preserve any claims relating to such FGIC Insured 

Bonds under the applicable FGIC Insurance Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, each 

distribution of cash made by a FGIC Trust to the holders of interests therein shall automatically 

and simultaneously reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the outstanding principal amount of the 

FGIC Insured Bonds held in such FGIC Trust and shall result in a corresponding reduction in 

FGIC’s obligations under the applicable FGIC Insurance Policies. 

(b) FGIC Insured Bond Claims Owned By FGIC: With respect to all 

Allowed FGIC Insured Bond Claims owned by FGIC, on the HTA Effective Date, and subject to

satisfaction, release and exchange of such Allowed FGIC Insured Bond Claims, its Pro Rata 

Share of the FGIC Plan Consideration allocable to such Allowed FGIC Insured Bond Claims.

Insured Bonds shall be accelerated as of the HTA Effective Date, and the FGIC Insured Bonds 

shall be due and payable from and after the HTA Effective Date at an “acceleration price” of one 

hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued thereon (or, in the 

case of capital appreciation bonds, the compounded amount thereof) to the date of payment; 

provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding such acceleration, there 

shall be no acceleration of any payment required to be made by FGIC under a FGIC Insurance 

Policy, unless FGIC elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, to make such payment(s) on an 

accelerated basis and FGIC has the express right to accelerate any such payment under the 

applicable FGIC Insurance Policy or the related agreements relating to the applicable FGIC 

Insured Bonds. 

(e) Assignment of Redemption Rights: Notwithstanding any other 

provision of the HTA Plan, to the extent permitted pursuant to applicable definitive insurance 

documents and the applicable FGIC Insurance Policy, on the HTA Effective Date, HTA shall be 

deemed to have assigned to FGIC any and all rights to redeem and call the FGIC Insured Bonds 

and any related rights such that such rights may be exercised directly and exclusively by FGIC as 

if it were HTA for such purpose.

Ambac Insurance Policies and related agreements related to Ambac Insured Bonds are in full 

force and effect, with no outstanding payments defaults by Ambac with respect to such Ambac 

Insured Bonds up to and including the HTA Effective Date, then, notwithstanding any other 

provision of the HTA Plan, on the HTA Effective Date, holders of Ambac Insured Bond Claims 

shall receive the following treatment, as provided in the Ambac Election Notice and to the extent 

offered by Ambac, in its sole and absolute discretion, at or prior to the commencement of the

may make different elections with respect to different CUSIPs and different Ambac Insured 

Bonds:

Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, but in no event later than the tenth (10th) 

day following the HTA Effective Date, each holder of an Allowed HTA 68 Bond Claim (Ambac) 

shall receive Cash in the amount equal to the Ambac Acceleration Price, in full and final 

satisfaction, release, and discharge of Ambac’s obligations under the applicable Ambac 

Insurance Policy, and, subject to the rights of the HTA Fiscal Agent, Ambac shall receive the 

Ambac Plan Consideration that would be otherwise allocable to such holder, its successors, 

transferees or assigns on account of its HTA 68 Bond Claims (Ambac). For the avoidance of 

doubt, the Ambac Acceleration Price will include accrued and unpaid interest as of the date of 

payment.

(b) Treatment of HTA 98 Senior Bond Claims (Ambac): On the HTA

Claim (Ambac) shall receive one of the following treatments:

(i) Allowed HTA 98 Senior Bond Claim (Ambac) Commutation 

Treatment: To the extent offered by Ambac, in its sole and absolute discretion, each holder of 

an Allowed HTA 98 Senior Bond Claim (Ambac) shall have the option to elect on the Ambac 

Bondholder Election Forms, to receive, on the HTA Effective Date, the Ambac Commutation 

Consideration, distributable by or at the direction of Ambac, and, if elected, (i) such beneficial 

holder shall have no other or further rights under or with respect to the applicable Ambac 

Insurance Policy or any Ambac Trust(s), and (ii) subject to the rights of the HTA Fiscal Agent, 

Ambac shall receive the Ambac Plan Consideration that otherwise would be allocable or 

distributable to such holder. The Ambac Insured HTA 98 Senior Bonds of a holder that validly 

elects to receive the Allowed HTA 98 Senior Bond Claim (Ambac) Commutation Treatment, or 

makes an improper election as described in Section 26.4(f) hereof, shall be deemed to have had, 

on or after the HTA Effective Date, its Ambac Insured HTA 98 Senior Bonds cancelled, and

Document Page 76 of 134
62

Ambac’s obligations under the applicable Ambac Insurance Policy shall be fully and finally 

satisfied, released, and discharged. 

(ii) Allowed HTA 98 Senior Bond Claim (Ambac) NonCommutation Treatment: In the event that a holder of an Allowed HTA 98 Senior Bond

an Allowed Ambac Insured Bond Claim shall receive one or more of the following treatments

offered by Ambac, in its sole and absolute discretion, and as detailed in the applicable Ambac 

Bondholder Election Form:

(1) Custodial Trusts:

(i) Such holder of an Allowed HTA 98 Senior Insured Bond Claim 

(Ambac) shall deposit, or be deemed to have deposited, into the applicable Ambac Trust(s), (A) 

such holder’s Ambac Insured Bonds with respect to which the election has been made and the 

related Ambac Insurance Policies, (B) such holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Ambac Plan 

Consideration, consisting of (1) Cash, (2) the CW/HTA Clawback Recovery, consisting of the 

HTA Clawback CVIs and all payments on or collections in respect of such HTA Clawback 

CVIs, and (3) the New HTA Bonds, and (C) shall be deemed to have received Ambac 

Certificates in consideration therefor; such holders shall have no recourse to Ambac or the

applicable Ambac Insurance Policies other than as provided for under the terms of the Ambac 

Trust(s). In the event the interim distribution amounts provided for in decretal paragraph 52 of 

the Commonwealth Confirmation Order have been distributed directly to holders of Ambac 

Insured Bonds prior to the HTA Effective Date, thereby reducing the principal amount of such

Ambac Insured HTA 98 Senior Bonds, such interim cash distributions need not be deposited into 

the Ambac Trust(s). 

(ii) The terms of the Ambac Trust(s) shall be set forth in a trust 

agreement or trust agreements which shall be filed as part of the Plan Supplement, but shall 

include the following terms, without limitation: (A) Ambac shall not insure any payments on the 

Ambac Certificates, shall not be required to pay any default or other interest amounts with 

respect to the Ambac Insured Bonds, and is only required to pay its obligations under the

HTA 98 Senior Bonds in the Ambac Trust(s) with respect to voting, amendment, acceleration, 

events of default, and election and direction of rights and remedies, including, without limitation, 

in connection with insolvency proceedings during the period that there are no outstanding 

payment defaults by Ambac under the applicable Ambac Insurance Policies; and (C) the 

agreement governing the Ambac Trust(s) will provide, among other things, that (1) all rights of a 

holder of Ambac HTA 98 Senior Insured Bonds held by the Ambac Trust(s) (whether as to 

amendments and consents, direction of remedies or otherwise) shall be exercisable solely by 

Ambac and no holder of the Ambac Certificates shall be entitled to any right with respect to the 

Ambac Insured HTA 98 Senior Bonds (other than as otherwise described in the Ambac Trust(s)), 

(2) Ambac may, at its option, elect to direct a distribution of a proportional percentage of the 

underlying Ambac Insured HTA 98 Senior Bonds to individual holders of Ambac Certificates 

upon the release of such holder’s claims on the related Ambac Insurance Policy and against the 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:21769 Filed:08/07/22 Entered:08/07/22 15:27:58 Desc: Main

Document Page 77 of 134
63

Ambac Trust(s); such distribution and release shall not give rise to any other holder of Ambac 

Certificates asserting a right to receive the same treatment, and (3) Ambac may, at its option, 

elect to direct the sale of any Ambac Trust Assets.

(1) Payment of Accelerated Amounts: Ambac shall receive 

the Ambac Plan Consideration that would be otherwise allocable to the holders of Allowed HTA 

98 Senior Insured Bond Claims (Ambac) and Ambac’s obligations to such holders shall be fully 

and completely discharged upon the payment, on the HTA Effective Date, or as soon as 

practicable thereafter, but in no event later than the tenth (10th) day following the HTA Effective 

Date, in Cash, of the Ambac Acceleration Price with respect thereto. 

(2) Alternative Treatment: The Oversight Board and Ambac 

reserve the right to formulate an alternative election or implementation option with respect to the 

Allowed HTA 98 Senior Bond Claim (Ambac) Non Commutation Treatment of the Ambac 

Insured HTA 98 Senior Bonds that is mutually acceptable to the Oversight Board and Ambac, 

each in their respective sole discretion; provided, however, that any such alternative election or 

implementation option must be proposed, in writing, at or prior to the commencement of the 

Disclosure Statement Hearing. 

(c) Deemed Acceleration of Ambac Insured Bonds: Notwithstanding any 

other provision of the HTA Plan, to the extent that there are no outstanding payment defaults by 

Ambac with respect to its obligations under the applicable Ambac Insurance Policies up to and 

including the HTA Effective Date, the Ambac Insured Bonds shall be deemed accelerated and 

immediately due and payable as of the HTA Effective Date. Ambac shall have the right to pay 

the Ambac Acceleration Price with respect to such bonds at any time, and the holder of the 

Ambac Insured Bonds and the trustee or fiscal agent (as applicable) shall be required to accept 

the same in satisfaction of Ambac’s obligations under the applicable Ambac Insurance Policy 

with respect to such bonds, and, upon such payment, Ambac’s obligations under the applicable 

Ambac Insurance Policy shall be fully satisfied and extinguished, notwithstanding any provision 

of the applicable Ambac Insurance Policy or other documents related to the Ambac Insured 

Bonds. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding such acceleration, there shall be no 

acceleration of any payment required to be made under any Ambac Insurance Policy unless 

Ambac elects, in its sole and absolute discretion to make such payment(s) on an accelerated 

basis. 

(d) Assignment of Redemption Rights: Notwithstanding any other 

provision of the HTA Plan, to the extent permitted pursuant to applicable definitive documents 

and not inconsistent with the rights provided in accordance with the applicable Ambac Insurance 

Policy, on the HTA Effective Date, HTA shall be deemed to have assigned to Ambac any and all 

rights to redeem and call the Ambac Insured Bonds and any related rights such that such rights 

may be exercised directly and exclusively by Ambac as if it were HTA for such purpose. Any 

amounts due in connection with any such redemption shall be equal to the lesser of the 

applicable redemption price and the Ambac Acceleration Price. 

(e) Entitlement to Vote: Subject to the terms and provisions of the 

Disclosure Statement Order, (1) the solicitation of acceptances and rejections of the HTA Plan 

by holders of Ambac Insured Bond Claims shall be made by the Oversight Board to Ambac in 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:21769 Filed:08/07/22 Entered:08/07/22 15:27:58 Desc: Main

Bond Claim (Ambac) Non-Commutation Treatment as set forth in Section 26.4(b)(ii) hereof

however, that the form of the Ambac Non-Commutation Treatment shall be selected by Ambac

in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 26.4(b)(ii) hereof.

26.4(b)(ii) hereof, or (2) submits an election for less than all of its Ambac Insured Bond Claims 

in a particular class (in which case, such election shall be void and of no force or effect), such 

holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive with respect to its HTA 98 Senior Bond Claims 

(Ambac), the Allowed HTA 98 Senior Bond Claim (Ambac) Commutation Treatment set forth in 

Section 26.4(b)(i) hereof, to commute the applicable Ambac Insurance Policies, and to fully and 

finally satisfy, release and discharge Ambac’s obligations under such Ambac Insurance Policies, 

and shall receive, with respect to its HTA 68 Bond Claims (Ambac), the Allowed 68 Bond Claim 

(Ambac) Treatment, if any, as set forth in Section 26.4(a) hereof. In addition, a holder of an 

Allowed HTA 98 Senior Bond Claim (Ambac) that does not validly elect to receive either the

Allowed HTA 98 Senior Bond Claim (Ambac) Commutation Treatment or the Allowed HTA 98 

Senior Bond (Ambac) Non-Commutation Treatment pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) above shall be

Bonds cancelled, and Ambac’s obligation under the applicable Ambac Insurance Policy shall be 

fully and finally satisfied released and discharged.

26.5 Fiscal Agent Obligations: Notwithstanding anything contained in the HTA Plan

Trust from and after the HTA Effective Date. 

ARTICLE XXVII

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

27.1 Rejection or Assumption of Remaining Executory Contracts and Unexpired 

Leases: Pursuant to sections 365(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, applicable to the Title III Case 

pursuant to Section 301 of PROMESA, and subject to the provisions of Sections 27.5 and 27.7 

hereof, all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that exist between the Debtor and any 

Entity, and which have not expired by their own terms on or prior to the HTA Effective Date, 

shall be deemed rejected by the Debtor as of the HTA Effective Date, except for any Executory 

Contract and Unexpired Lease (a) that has been assumed and assigned or rejected pursuant to an 

order of the Title III Court entered prior to the HTA Effective Date, (b) that is specifically 

designated as a contract or lease to be assumed or assumed and assigned on the schedules to the 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:21769 Filed:08/07/22 Entered:08/07/22 15:27:58 Desc: Main

Plan Supplement, (c) that has been registered with the Office of the Comptroller of Puerto Rico, 

(d) that has been exempt from registration with the Office of the Comptroller of Puerto Rico 

pursuant to 2 L.P.R.A. § 97 and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, (e) has been approved 

by the Oversight Board or authorized by the Title III Court, unless specifically designated a 

contract to be rejected in the Plan Supplement, (f) with the United States, or any of its agencies, 

departments or agents or pursuant to any federal program, or (g) by or between any 

Commonwealth agencies, departments, municipalities, public corporations or instrumentalities 

(other than leases to which PBA is a party); provided, however, that the Debtor reserves the 

right, on or prior to the HTA Effective Date, to amend such schedules to delete any Executory 

Contract and Unexpired Lease therefrom or add any Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease 

thereto, in which event such Executory Contract(s) and Unexpired Lease(s) shall be deemed to 

be, as the case may be, either rejected, assumed, or assumed and assigned as of the HTA 

Effective Date. The Debtor shall serve (y) notice of any Executory Contract and Unexpired 

Lease to be assumed or assumed and assigned through the operation of this Section 27.1, by 

including a schedule of such contracts and leases in the Plan Supplement and (z) notice of any 

Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be rejected through the operation of this Section 

27.1, by serving a separate notice to the relevant counterparties to such agreements. To the 

extent there are any amendments to such schedules, the Debtor shall provide notice of any such 

amendments to the parties to the Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease affected thereby. The 

listing of a document on the schedules to the Plan Supplement or in any separate notice shall not 

constitute an admission by the Debtor that such document is an Executory Contract and 

Unexpired Lease or that the Debtor have any liability thereunder.

27.2 Approval of Rejection or Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired 

Leases: Entry of the HTA Confirmation Order by the Title III Court shall constitute approval, 

pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, of the rejection, assumption, 

or assumption and assignment, as the case may be, of an Executory Contract and an Unexpired 

Lease pursuant to Section 27.1 of the HTA Plan.

27.3 Inclusiveness: Unless otherwise specified on the schedules to the Plan 

Supplement, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease listed or to be listed therein shall 

include any and all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements 

made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument, or other document that in any manner 

affects such Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease, without regard to whether such 

agreement, instrument, or other document is listed on such schedule.

27.4 Cure of Defaults: Except to the extent that different treatment has been agreed to 

by the non-debtor party or parties to any Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed 

or assumed and assigned pursuant to Section 27.1 of the HTA Plan, the Debtor shall, pursuant to 

the provisions of section 1123(a)(5)(G) and 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code and consistent 

with the requirements of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, within at least twenty (20) days 

prior to the HTA Confirmation Hearing, file with the Title III Court and serve by first class mail 

on each non- Debtor party to such Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases to be assumed 

pursuant to Section 27.1 of the HTA Plan, a notice, which shall list the cure amount as to each 

executory contract or unexpired lease to be assumed or assumed and assigned. The parties to 

such Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases will have twenty (20) days from the date of 

service of such notice to file and serve any objection to the cure amounts listed by the Debtor. If 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:21769 Filed:08/07/22 Entered:08/07/22 15:27:58 Desc: Main

Document Page 80 of 134
66

there are any objections filed, the Title III Court shall hold a hearing on a date to be set by the 

Title III Court. Notwithstanding the terms and provisions of Section 27.1 of the HTA Plan, the 

Debtor shall retain its rights to reject any of its Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that 

are subject to a dispute concerning amounts necessary to cure any defaults through the HTA 

Effective Date.

27.5 Insurance Policies: Subject to the terms and provisions of Section 27.7 hereof, 

each of the Debtor’s insurance policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating 

thereto, are treated as Executory Contracts under the HTA Plan; provided, however, that, except 

to the extent provided herein, the HTA Confirmation Order and the Definitive Documents, such 

treatment shall not, and shall not be construed to, discharge or relieve any Monoline with respect 

to its respective obligations to holders of Claims under policies of insurance and applicable law 

and governing documents with respect thereto.

27.6 Rejection Damage Claims: If the rejection of an Executory Contract and 

Unexpired Lease by the Debtor hereunder results in damages to the other party or parties to such 

contract or lease, any claim for such damages, if not heretofore evidenced by a filed proof of 

Claim, shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Debtor, or its properties or 

agents, successors, or assigns, including, without limitation, Reorganized HTA, unless a proof of 

Claim is filed with the Title III Court and served upon attorneys for the Oversight Board and 

Reorganized HTA, as the case may be, on or before thirty (30) days after the later to occur of (i) 

the HTA Confirmation Date, and (ii) the date of entry of an order by the Title III Court 

authorizing rejection of a particular Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease.

27.7 Indemnification and Reimbursement Obligations: For purposes of the HTA 

Plan, (i) to the extent executory in nature, the obligations of the Debtor, including, without 

limitation, directors and officers insurance policies, to indemnify and reimburse its directors or 

officers that were directors or officers, respectively, on or prior to the HTA Petition Date, shall 

be deemed assumed as of the HTA Effective Date, and (ii) indemnification obligations of the 

Debtor arising from conduct of officers and directors during the period from and after the HTA

Petition Date, as the case may be, shall be Administrative Expense Claims; provided, however, 

that, under no circumstances shall the Debtor or Reorganized HTA, as the case may be, be 

responsible for any indemnification obligation, cost, or expense associated with the gross 

negligence, intentional fraud or willful misconduct of their respective officers or directors.

27.8 Nonoccurrence of HTA Effective Date: In the event that the HTA Effective 

Date does not occur, the Title III Court shall retain jurisdiction with respect to any request to 

extend the deadline for assuming or rejecting Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases 

pursuant to section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such deadline(s) have expired.

27.9 Reservation of Rights: Nothing contained in the HTA Plan or the Plan 

Supplement shall constitute an admission by the Debtor, Reorganized HTA or any other party 

that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease or that the 

Debtor have any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is 

or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption, the Debtor or Reorganized HTA shall 

have forty-five (45) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their 

treatment of such contract or lease.

27.10 Collective Bargaining Agreements: Except as provided in Article XXVII

hereof, none of the Debtor’s collective bargaining agreements shall be treated as Executory 

Contracts and none shall be assumed or rejected or otherwise treated pursuant to the HTA Plan, 

but shall remain in effect subject, in all instances, to Puerto Rico law and Section 2.5 hereof

regarding the payment and ongoing treatment of pension and related claims and obligations.

(e) Distributions with Respect to Eminent Domain/Inverse 

Condemnation Claims: Except as otherwise provided herein, within ten (10) Business Days 

following the occurrence of a Final Order determining the validity and amount of just 

compensation attributable to an Eminent Domain/Inverse Condemnation Claim, the Disbursing 

Agent shall distribute, or cause to be distributed, to each holder of an Allowed Eminent 

Domain/Inverse Condemnation Claim, Cash in the amount of such Allowed Claim. 

(f) Distribution of Cash to Holders of Allowed Administrative Expense

Claims: Except as otherwise provided herein, on or as soon as practicable after the later of (i) 

the HTA Effective Date and (ii) the date on which such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, the 

Disbursing Agent shall distribute, or cause to be distributed, to each holder of an Allowed 

Administrative Expense Claim, Cash in the amount of such Allowed Claim.

(g) Distribution of Cash to Holders of Allowed Convenience Claims: 

Except as otherwise provided herein, on or as soon as practicable after the later of (i) the HTA 

Effective Date and (ii) the date on which such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, the Disbursing 

Agent shall distribute, or cause to be distributed, to each holder of an Allowed Claim, Cash in 

the amount of such Allowed Convenience Claim.

28.2 Timeliness of Payments: Any payment or distribution to be made pursuant to 

the HTA Plan shall be deemed to be timely made if made within ten (10) Business Days after the 

date specified in the HTA Plan. Whenever any distribution to be made under this HTA Plan 

shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such distribution shall instead be made, without 

interest, on the immediately succeeding Business Day, but shall be deemed to have been made 

on the date due, including, without limitation, deeming distributions made pursuant to Section 

28.1 hereof to have been made on the HTA Effective Date.

28.3 Distributions by the Disbursing Agent: Except as otherwise provided herein or 

in the HTA Confirmation Order, all distributions under the HTA Plan shall be made by the 

Disbursing Agent. The Disbursing Agent shall be deemed to hold all property to be distributed 

hereunder in trust for the Entities entitled to receive the same. The Disbursing Agent shall not 

hold an economic or beneficial interest in such property.

28.4 Manner of Payment under the HTA Plan: Unless the Entity receiving a 

payment agrees otherwise, any payment in Cash to be made by the Disbursing Agent shall be 

made, at the election of the payor, by check drawn on a domestic bank or by wire transfer from a 

domestic bank; provided, however, that no Cash payment shall be made to a holder of an 

Allowed Claim until such time, if ever, as the amount payable thereto is equal to or greater than 

Ten Dollars ($10.00).

28.5 Delivery of Distributions: Subject to the provisions of Rule 9010 of the 

Bankruptcy Rules, and except as provided in the HTA Confirmation Order or herein, 

distributions and deliveries to holders of Allowed Claims shall be made through The Depository 

Trust Company or at the address of each such holder as set forth on the Schedules filed with the 

Court, unless superseded by the address set forth on proofs of Claim filed by such holders, or at 

the last known address of such holder if no proof of Claim is filed or if the Debtor has been 

notified in writing of a change of address; provided, however, that initial distributions by the 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:21769 Filed:08/07/22 Entered:08/07/22 15:27:58 Desc: Main

Document Page 83 of 134
69

Disbursing Agent on account of Allowed HTA Bond Claims shall be made to, or at the direction 

of, the HTA Fiscal Agent in accordance with the respective governing documents for such 

obligations; and, provided, further, that the Disbursing Agent may make distributions of HTA 

PSA Restriction Fees, and Consummation Costs in Cash to a party entitled thereto in a manner 

mutually agreed upon between such party and the Disbursing Agent. The HTA Fiscal Agent (or 

the HTA Fiscal Agent’s designee) shall, in turn, deliver the distribution to the applicable holders 

in the manner provided for in the applicable governing documents. Regardless of whether such 

distributions are made by the HTA Fiscal Agent or the Disbursing Agent at the direction of the 

HTA Fiscal Agent, any Charging Lien of the HTA Fiscal Agent shall attach to such distributions

in the same manner as if such distributions were made by or through the HTA Fiscal Agent. The 

HTA Fiscal Agent may rely upon the distribution instructions received from the Debtor or its 

agents with respect to delivery of distributions in accordance with the terms and provisions of 

this Article XXVII, including any contra-CUSIP positions and escrow positions set up by the 

debtor or its agents with the Depository Trust Company. The Debtor, its agents and servicers,

the HTA Fiscal Agent, and the Disbursing Agent shall have no obligation to recognize any 

transfer of HTA Bond Claims after the Distribution Record Date; provided, however, that the 

New HTA Bonds and the HTA Clawback CVIs will be transferable and recognized in 

accordance with the terms and conditions of the New HTA Bonds Indenture and the CVI 

Indenture, respectively.

28.6 Cancellation of Notes, Instruments, Certificates, and Other Documents: 

Except (a) as provided in any contract, instrument or other agreement or document entered into 

or delivered in connection with the HTA Plan, (b) for purposes of evidencing a right to 

distribution under the HTA Plan, or (c) as specifically provided otherwise in the HTA Plan 

(including any rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases pursuant to Section 27.1 

hereof), on the HTA Effective Date, the HTA Bonds and all instruments and documents related 

thereto will be deemed automatically cancelled, terminated and of no further force or effect 

against the Debtor without any further act or action under any applicable agreement, law, 

regulation, order or rule, with the Debtor and the applicable trustee, paying agent or fiscal agent, 

as the case may be, having no continuing obligations or duties and responsibilities thereunder 

and the obligations of the parties to the Debtor, under the HTA Bonds and all instruments and 

documents related thereto shall be discharged; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything 

contained herein to the contrary, the HTA Bonds and such other instruments and documents shall 

continue in effect solely (i) to allow the Disbursing Agent to make any distributions as set forth 

in the HTA Plan and to perform such other necessary administrative or other functions with 

respect thereto, (ii) to allow holders of Allowed HTA Bond Claims and Allowed Insured HTA

Bond Claims to receive distributions in accordance with the terms and provisions of the HTA

Plan, (iii) for any trustee, agent, contract administrator or similar entity under all instruments and 

documents related thereto, to perform necessary functions, including making distributions, in 

accordance with the HTA Plan and to have the benefit of all the rights and protections and other 

provisions of such instruments and documents, as applicable, and all other related agreements, 

(iv) to set forth the terms and conditions applicable to parties to such documents and instruments 

other than the Debtor, (v) to allow Assured and National to exercise the redemption or call rights 

assigned to Assured and National pursuant to the provisions of Sections 26.1 and 26.2 hereof, 

respectively, or (vi) as may be necessary to preserve any claims under the respective insurance 

policies and related documents issued by a Monoline and the Oversight Board shall request that 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:21769 Filed:08/07/22 Entered:08/07/22 15:27:58 Desc: Main

70

HTA use its reasonable efforts to (1) maintain the existing CUSIP numbers for the Monolineinsured HTA Bonds, and (2) take such other reasonable steps as may be necessary to preserve 

and effectuate such Claims; and, provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing or 

anything else contained in the HTA Plan to the contrary, the HTA Fiscal Agent shall have no 

duties or responsibilities with respect to any HTA Bonds that are deposited into any of the 

Ambac Trust, the Assured Trust, the FGIC Trust, or the National Trust from and after the HTA 

Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise expressly provided in 

the HTA Plan, such bonds or bond documents that remain outstanding shall not form the basis 

for the assertion of any Claim against the Debtor or Reorganized HTA, as the case may be.

28.7 Undeliverable/Reserved Distributions: 

(a) Holding of Undeliverable Distributions by the Disbursing Agent: If 

any distribution to any holder is returned to the Disbursing Agent as undeliverable, no further 

distribution shall be made to such holder unless and until the Disbursing Agent is notified, in 

writing, of such holder’s then-current address. Subject to the terms and provision of 

Section 32.7(b) hereof, undeliverable distributions shall remain in the possession of the 

Disbursing Agent until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable. All Entities ultimately 

receiving previously undeliverable Cash shall not be entitled to any interest or other accruals 

thereon of any kind. Nothing contained in the HTA Plan shall require the Disbursing Agent to 

attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed Claim.

(b) Failure to Claim Undeliverable Distributions: If (i) a check is sent, by 

the Disbursing Agent to a holder in respect of distributions and such check is not negotiated 

within one hundred twenty (120) days following the date on which such check was issued, or 

(ii) any other form of distribution to a holder is otherwise undeliverable, the Disbursing Agent 

(or its duly authorized agent) shall, on or prior to the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days 

from (i) the HTA Effective Date, with respect to all Allowed Claims as of the HTA Effective 

Date, and (ii) the date that a distribution is made with respect to any Disputed Claim that 

becomes an Allowed Claim subsequent to the HTA Effective Date, file a list with the Title III 

Court setting forth the names of those Entities for which distributions have been made hereunder 

that have not been negotiated or have been returned as undeliverable as of the date thereof. Any 

holder of an Allowed Claim on such list that does not identify itself and assert its rights pursuant 

to the HTA Plan to receive a distribution within six (6) months from the date so listed shall have 

its entitlement to such undeliverable distribution discharged and shall be forever barred from 

asserting any entitlement pursuant to the HTA Plan, against Reorganized HTA, the trustees, or 

their respective professionals, agents, or property, and any (1) Cash in the possession of the 

Disbursing Agent or the trustee with respect to existing securities, as the case may be, shall be

released to Reorganized HTA for use to discharge operating expenses of Reorganized HTA, and 

(2) the HTA Bonds in the possession of the Disbursing Agent or trustee with respect to existing 

securities shall be released to Reorganized HTA for cancellation or deposit into the treasury of 

Reorganized HTA, as determined by Reorganized HTA in its sole and absolute discretion.

28.8 Withholding and Reporting Requirements: Any party issuing any instrument 

or making any distribution under the HTA Plan shall comply with all applicable withholding and 

reporting requirements imposed by any United States federal, state or local tax law or tax 

authority, and all distributions under the HTA Plan shall be subject to any such withholding or 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:21769 Filed:08/07/22 Entered:08/07/22 15:27:58 Desc: Main

Document Page 85 of 134
71

reporting requirements. Notwithstanding the above, each holder of an Allowed Claim that is to 

receive a distribution under the HTA Plan shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility for the 

satisfaction and payment of any taxes imposed on such holder by any governmental unit, 

including income, withholding and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution. Any 

party issuing any instrument or making any distribution under the HTA Plan has the right, but 

not the obligation, to not make a distribution until such holder has made arrangements 

satisfactory to such issuing or disbursing party for payment of any such withholding tax 

obligations and, if any party issuing any instrument or making any distribution under the HTA 

Plan fails to withhold with respect to any such holder’s distribution, and is later held liable for 

the amount of such withholding, the holder shall reimburse such party. The Disbursing Agent 

may require, as a condition to the receipt of a distribution, that the holder complete the 

appropriate Form W-8 or Form W-9, as applicable to each holder. If the holder fails to comply 

with such a request within one year, such distribution shall be deemed an Unclaimed 

Distribution.

28.9 Time Bar to Cash Payments: Checks issued by the Disbursing Agent on 

account of Allowed Claims shall be null and void if not negotiated within one hundred twenty 

(120) days from and after the date of issuance thereof. Requests for reissuance of any check 

shall be made directly to the Disbursing Agent by the holder of the Allowed Claim with respect 

to which such check originally was issued. Any claim in respect of such a voided check shall be 

made on or before the later of (i) the first (1st) anniversary of the HTA Effective Date or (ii) 

ninety (90) days after the date of issuance of such check, if such check represents a final 

distribution hereunder on account of such Claim. After such date, all Claims in respect of voided 

checks shall be discharged and forever barred and the Disbursing Agent shall retain all monies 

related thereto for the sole purpose of redistribution to holders of Allowed Claims in accordance 

with the terms and provisions hereof.

28.10 Distributions After HTA Effective Date: Distributions made after the HTA 

Effective Date to holders of Claims that are not Allowed Claims as of the HTA Effective Date, 

but which later become Allowed Claims, shall be deemed to have been made in accordance with 

the terms and provisions of Article XXVIII of the HTA Plan.

28.11 Setoffs: Except as otherwise provided in the HTA Plan or in the HTA 

Confirmation Order, the Disbursing Agent may, pursuant to applicable bankruptcy or nonbankruptcy law, set off against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to 

the HTA Plan on account thereof (before any distribution is made on account of such Claim by 

the Disbursing Agent), the claims, rights, and Causes of Action of any nature that the Debtor or 

Reorganized HTA 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 Debtor or Reorganized HTA of any such claims, rights, and 

Causes of Action that the Debtor or Reorganized HTA may possess against such holder; and, 

provided, further, that nothing contained herein is intended to limit the ability of any Creditor to 

effectuate rights of setoff or recoupment preserved or permitted by the provisions of sections 

553, 555, 559, or 560 of the Bankruptcy Code or pursuant to the common law right of 

recoupment; and, provided, further, that nothing in this Section 28.11 shall affect the releases and 

injunctions provided in Article XLI of the HTA Plan.

28.12 Allocation of Plan Distributions Between Principal and Interest: Unless 

otherwise specified herein, to the extent that any Allowed Claim entitled to a distribution under 

the HTA Plan consists of indebtedness and other amounts (such as accrued but unpaid interest 

thereon), such distribution shall be allocated first, to interest accrued and unpaid as of the date 

immediately preceding the HTA Petition Date, second, to the principal amount of the Claim (as 

determined for federal income tax purposes) and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds the 

principal amount of the Claim, to such other amounts; provided, however, that the Debtor or 

Reorganized HTA’s treatment of any distributions for its tax purposes will not be binding on any 

Creditor as to the treatment of such distributions for any regulatory, tax or other purposes.

28.13 Payment of Trustee Fees and Expenses: The distributions to be made pursuant 

to the HTA Plan and the Commonwealth Confirmation Order to holders of HTA 68 Bond Claims 

and HTA 98 Senior Bond Claims on account of such Claims are intended to be inclusive of any 

and all of the HTA Fiscal Agent’s reasonable fees and expenses due and owing by HTA pursuant 

to the applicable bond resolutions with respect to amounts discharged pursuant to the HTA Plan 

(the “HTA Fiscal Agent’s Fees and Expenses”). To the extent not deducted in connection with 

payments made in accordance with the Commonwealth Confirmation Order upon satisfaction of 

the Distribution Conditions, the HTA Fiscal Agent’s Fees and Expenses shall be deducted on a 

pro rata basis from distributions to holders of HTA 68 Bond Claims and HTA 98 Senior Bond 

Claims on account of such Claims, such that the cost of such HTA Fiscal Agent’s Fees and 

Expenses is shared equally by all holders of HTA 68 Bond Claims and HTA 98 Senior Bond 

Claims based on the amount of their Claims; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything 

in the HTA Plan, the HTA Confirmation Order, or the applicable bond resolutions to the 

contrary, the HTA Fiscal Agent’s Fees and Expenses shall not exceed $2,360,681.02. In the 

event amounts reserved or deducted by the HTA Fiscal Agent from the distributions to be made 

to holders of HTA 68 Bond Claims and HTA 98 Senior Bond Claims exceed the HTA Fiscal 

Agent’s Fees and Expenses, such excess amounts shall be distributed by, or at the direction of,

the HTA Fiscal Agent on a pro rata basis to holders of HTA 68 Bond Claims and HTA 98 Senior 

Bond Claims on the HTA Effective Date (the “Excess Distribution”). For purposes of this 

Section 28.13, the applicable Monolines shall constitute the holders of the HTA 68 Bond Claims 

and the HTA 98 Senior Bond Claims arising from the HTA Bonds which are insured by any such 

Monoline, if any, in accordance with Section 301(c)(3) of PROMESA, applicable law, and 

governing insurance and other documents applicable to such HTA Bonds; provided, however, 

that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) with respect to any HTA 98 Senior Bonds owned by 

FGIC, the HTA Fiscal Agent shall make the Excess Distribution attributable thereto, if any, to 

FGIC, and (b) with respect to any HTA 98 Senior Bonds insured by FGIC, but not owned by 

FGIC, the HTA Fiscal Agent shall make the Excess Distribution attributable thereto, if any, to 

the owners of such HTA 98 Senior Bonds. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 28.13, 

the HTA Plan does not, nor shall it be construed to, limit the rights of the HTA Fiscal Agent to 

payment of such amounts from the distributions to be made hereunder, including, without 

limitation, the imposition of any Charging Lien.

28.14 Beneficial Owner: For all purposes of the HTA Plan, including, without 

limitation, for purposes of distributions pursuant to the terms and provisions of this 

Article XXVIII, the “holder” of a Claim shall mean any Entity who, directly or indirectly, has 

investment power with respect to any Claim, which includes the power to dispose or to direct the 

disposition of such Claim; provided, however, that, for purposes of Article XXVIII hereof and 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:21769 Filed:08/07/22 Entered:08/07/22 15:27:58 Desc: Main

301(c)(3) of PROMESA, applicable law and governing insurance and other documents

PROMESA, applicable law and governing insurance and other documents applicable to the 

Ambac Insured Bond Claims, the Ambac CW/Convention Center Claims, the Ambac CW/HTA 

Bond Claims, and the Ambac CW/PRIFA Rum Tax Claims, (d) FGIC shall constitute the 

“holder” of any FGIC Insured Bond Claims and any FGIC CW/HTA Bond Claims, in 

accordance with Section 301(c)(3) of PROMESA, applicable law and governing insurance and 

other documents applicable to the FGIC Insured Bond Claims, the FGIC CW/HTA Bond Claims, 

(e) Syncora shall constitute the “holder” of any HTA Bond Claims and CW/HTA Bond Claims 

arising from or related to HTA 98 Senior Bonds bearing CUSIP number 745190AY4, and the 

principal and interest payments of which have been insured by Syncora in accordance with 

Section 301(c)(3) of PROMESA, applicable law and governing insurance and other documents 

applicable to such Claims; provided, however, that, solely to the extent permitted by governing 

insurance and other documents, on the HTA Effective Date, Syncora shall pay the beneficial 

owners of such HTA 98 Senior Bonds the Syncora Acceleration Price; and, provided, further, 

that Syncora shall indemnify and hold the Oversight Board, the Commonwealth, HTA, and 

Reorganized HTA harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, and causes of action 

arising from or related to the acceleration of such HTA 98 Senior Bonds and the payment of the 

Syncora Acceleration Price, and (f) the “holder” of any other Insured HTA Bond Claims shall be 

determined in accordance with Section 301(c)(3) of PROMESA and any law or governing 

documents applicable to such Insured HTA Bond Claims.

28.15 Value of Distributions: For purposes of calculating the value of distributions 

made to holders of Allowed Claims, (a) Cash shall be valued in the amount distributed and 

(b) the New HTA Bonds shall be valued at the original principal amount thereof.

28.16 Disputed Funds Stipulation: In the event that the Distribution Conditions are 

not satisfied prior to the HTA Effective Date, on the HTA Effective Date, the Distribution 

Conditions shall be deemed satisfied and payments and distributions to be made in connection 

therewith pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Commonwealth Confirmation Order and

32.1 Objections to Claims; Prosecution of Disputed Claims: 

(a) Except with respect to Allowed Claims, and subject to the terms and 

conditions of the ADR Procedures and the ADR Order, Reorganized HTA, by and through the 

Oversight Board, and in consultation with AAFAF, shall object to, and shall assume any pending 

objection filed by the Debtor to, the allowance of Claims filed with the Title III Court with 

respect to which it disputes liability, priority or amount, including, without limitation, objections 

to Claims that have been assigned and the assertion of the doctrine of equitable subordination 

with respect thereto. All objections, affirmative defenses and counterclaims shall be litigated to 

Final Order; provided, however, that Reorganized HTA, by and through the Oversight Board, 

and in consultation with AAFAF, shall have the authority to file, settle, compromise or withdraw 

any objections to Claims, without approval of the Title III Court. Unless otherwise ordered by

provided in the HTA Plan, and (C) in the event that such appointees disagree with any 

settlement of an HTA General Unsecured Claim, for an allowed amount in excess of Five 

Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), such appointees may seek relief from the Title III 

Court to cause (upon a showing that such settlement is not in the best interest of HTA and its 

creditors) the Oversight Board or AAFAF, as the case may be, to obtain approval of the Title III 

Court for any such settlement in accordance with the standard for approval under Bankruptcy 

Rule 9019. Such appointees and their advisors shall not be entitled to compensation in excess to 

that provided pursuant to the Commonwealth Plan and the Commonwealth Confirmation Order.

(c) From and after the HTA Effective Date, all Late-Filed Claims shall be 

deemed denied, with prejudice, and the Oversight Board shall instruct Kroll Restructuring 

Administration LLC (formerly Prime Clerk LLC), its court-appointed representative, to remove 

such Late-Filed Claims from the claims registry maintained for the benefit of the Title III Court 

and the Oversight Board shall cause a notice with respect thereto to be served upon the holder of 

such Late-Filed Claim. 

32.2 Estimation of Claims: Except with respect to Allowed Claims, on and after the 

HTA Effective Date, and unless otherwise limited by an order of the Title III Court, including, 

without limitation, the ACR Order, and the ADR Order, Reorganized HTA, by and through the 

Oversight Board, may at any time request the Title III Court to estimate for final distribution 

purposes any contingent, unliquidated or Disputed Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the 

Bankruptcy Code regardless of whether the Debtor previously objected to or sought to estimate 

such Claim, and the Title III Court will retain jurisdiction to consider any request to estimate any 

Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim, including, without 

limitation, during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. Unless otherwise 

provided in an order of the Title III Court, in the event that the Title III Court estimates any 

contingent, unliquidated or Disputed Claim, the estimated amount shall constitute either the 

allowed amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on such Claim, as determined by the 

Title III Court; provided, however, that, if the estimate constitutes the maximum limitation on 

such Claim, Reorganized HTA, by and through the Oversight Board, may elect to pursue 

supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate allowance of such Claim; and, provided, 

further, that the foregoing is not intended to limit the rights granted by section 502(j) of the 

Bankruptcy Code. All of the aforementioned Claims objection, estimation and resolution 

procedures are cumulative and not necessarily exclusive of one another.

32.3 Payments and Distributions on Disputed Claims:

(a) Disputed Claims Holdback: From and after the HTA Effective Date, 

and until such time as each Disputed Claim has been compromised and settled, estimated by the 

Title III Court in an amount constituting the allowed amount, or Allowed or Disallowed by Final 

Order of the Title III Court, Reorganized HTA shall retain, for the benefit of each holder of a 

Disputed Claim, the distributions that would have been made to such holder if it were an 

Allowed Claim in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the liquidated amount set forth in the filed 

proof of Claim relating to such Disputed Claim, (ii) the amount in which the Disputed Claims 

shall be estimated by the Title III Court pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code 

constitutes and represents the maximum amount in which such Claim may ultimately become an 

Allowed Claim, and (iii) such other amount as may be agreed upon by the holder of such 

Disputed Claim and Reorganized HTA; provided, however, that the recovery by any holder of a 

Disputed Claim shall not exceed the lesser of (i), (ii) and (iii) above. To the extent that

Reorganized HTA retains any New HTA Bonds on behalf of Disputed Claims holders, until such 

New HTA Bonds are distributed, Reorganized HTA shall exercise voting or consent rights with 

respect to such obligations.

(b) Allowance of Disputed Claims: At such time as a Disputed Claim 

becomes, in whole or in part, an Allowed Claim, the Disbursing Agent shall distribute to the 

holder thereof the distributions, if any, to which such holder is then entitled under the HTA Plan, 

together with any earnings that have accrued thereon (net of any expenses, including any taxes, 

relating thereto), but only to the extent that such earnings are attributable to the amount of the 

Allowed Claim. Such distribution, if any, shall be made as soon as practicable after the date that 

the order or judgment of the Title III Court allowing such Disputed Claim becomes a Final 

Order, but in no event more than ninety (90) days thereafter.

32.4 Authority to Amend Lists of Creditors: Except with respect to HTA Bond 

Claims, and subject to the limitations in Section 32.1(b) hereof, the Debtor shall have the 

authority to amend the List of Creditors with respect to any Claim and to make distributions 

based on such amended List of Creditors without approval of the Title III Court. If any such 

amendment to the List of Creditors reduces the amount of a Claim or changes the nature or 

priority of a Claim, the Debtor will provide the holder of such Claim with notice of such 

amendment and such holder will have twenty (20) days to file an objection to such amendment 

with the Title III Court. If no such objection is filed, the Disbursing Agent may proceed with 

distributions based on such amended List of Creditors without approval of the Title III Court.

32.5 Non-Accrual of Interest: Unless otherwise specifically provided for herein or by 

order of the Title III Court, post-petition interest shall not accrue or be paid on Claims, Allowed 

or otherwise, and no holder of a Claim, Allowed or otherwise, shall be entitled to interest 

accruing on or after the HTA Petition Date, on any Claim or right. Additionally, and without 

limiting the foregoing, interest shall not accrue or be paid on any disputed claim with respect to 

the period from the HTA Effective Date to the date a final distribution is made on account of 

such Disputed Claim, if and when such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. 

32.6 Disallowance of Claims: All Claims of any Entity from which property is sought 

by the Debtor under sections 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that the Debtor alleges is a 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:21769 Filed:08/07/22 Entered:08/07/22 15:27:58 Desc: Main

78

transferee of a transfer that is avoidable under sections 544, 545, 547, 548, or 549 of the 

Bankruptcy Code shall be disallowed if: (a) the Entity, on the one hand, and the Debtor, on the 

other hand, agree or the Title III Court has determined by Final Order that such Entity or 

transferee is liable to turn over any property or monies under any of the aforementioned sections 

of the Bankruptcy Code; and (b) such Entity or transferee has failed to turn over such property 

by the date set forth in such agreement or Final Order.

32.7 Claims Subject to ACR Procedures: To the extent not already transferred as of 

the HTA Effective Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of the ACR Order, the 

Debtor or Reorganized HTA, as the case may be, shall transfer Claims in accordance with the 

terms and conditions of the ACR Order, and, upon transfer, all such Claims shall (a) be 

reconciled pursuant to the applicable regulatory and administrative procedures of the Debtor and

Reorganized HTA, as the case may be, (b) be paid in full in the ordinary course of business, and 

(c) except as otherwise provided in the HTA Plan, shall not be included in HTA General 

Unsecured Claims to be satisfied from the HTA GUC Recovery or Convenience Claims. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (y) the Oversight Board may remove a claim from the ACR 

process in the event that it was improperly transferred into the ACR process because it did not 

qualify in accordance with the terms and provisions of the ACR Order, including, without 

limitation, bond claims or “child” claims relating to a “parent” class action proofs of claim (in 

which case, such claims may be transferred into the appropriate Class under the HTA Plan) and 

(z) claims that are eligible to be transferred to or administered through the ACR process and for 

which no proof of claim was required to be filed (whether or not a proof of claim was filed) shall 

not be transferred into Class 16 or Class 19 under the HTA Plan and shall be administered 

through the ACR process, in accordance with the terms of the ACR Order and subsections (a) 

and (b) of this Section 32.7.

consistent with the independence and qualification standards set forth above and the Debtor shall 

file a notice thereof with the Title III Court and, for purposes of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy

ARTICLE XXXVIII

PROVISIONS REGARDING OVERSIGHT BOARD AND

COMPLIANCE WITH PROMESA

38.1 Effect of Confirmation: Nothing in this HTA Plan or the HTA Confirmation 

Order shall discharge, substitute, alter or otherwise modify the powers and responsibilities of the 

Oversight Board pursuant to PROMESA or the obligations of Reorganized HTA under 

PROMESA. From and after the HTA Effective Date, Reorganized HTA shall continue to have 

all of their obligations pursuant to PROMESA, including, without limitation, the terms and 

conditions of Titles I and II thereof.

38.2 Ongoing Role of the Oversight Board: Nothing in the HTA Plan or the HTA 

Confirmation Order shall discharge any or all obligations of the Debtor under PROMESA and, 

from and after the HTA Effective Date, the Oversight Board’s powers and responsibilities under 

PROMESA shall continue, and the Debtor’s duties and obligations shall continue and be 

unaffected by the HTA Plan and the consummation thereof.

38.3 Preemption of Laws: As of the HTA Effective Date, and to the extent not 

previously preempted pursuant to an order of the Title III Court, provisions of Commonwealth 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:21769 Filed:08/07/22 Entered:08/07/22 15:27:58 Desc: Main

Document Page 101 of 134
87

laws that affect the Debtor or Reorganized HTA and are inconsistent with PROMESA shall be 

preempted for the reasons, and to the extent, set forth in Exhibit “A” to the Findings of Fact and 

Conclusions of Law, such preempted laws, rules and regulations include, without limitation, (a) 

pursuant to Section 4 of PROMESA, all laws, rules, and regulations (or such portions thereof) of 

the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico to the extent they give rise to obligations of the Debtor 

discharged by the HTA Plan and the HTA Confirmation Order pursuant to PROMESA, and such 

discharge shall prevail over any general or specific provisions of territory laws, rules, and 

regulations, and (b) laws enacted prior to June 30, 2016, to the extent they provide for transfers

or other appropriations after the enactment of PROMESA, including transfers from the Debtor or 

Reorganized HTA to the Commonwealth or any agency or instrumentality, whether to enable 

such agency or instrumentality to pay or satisfy indebtedness or for any other purpose, are 

preempted to the extent inconsistent with the HTA Plan’s discharge of the Debtor’s obligations 

and all such laws shall not be enforceable to the extent they are inconsistent with the HTA Plan’s 

discharge of the Debtor’s obligations or any of the transactions contemplated by the HTA Plan. 

Without in any way limiting the foregoing, (y) the Commonwealth laws preempted by 

PROMESA that affect the Debtor include, without limitation, those listed on Exhibit “F” hereto 

for the reasons and to the extent set forth in Exhibit “A” to the Findings of Fact and Conclusions 

of Law, and (z) all litigation in which any Government Party is a defendant, over whether 

Commonwealth law listed on Exhibit “F” hereto is preempted by PROMESA shall be dismissed, 

with prejudice, as of the HTA Effective Date and the parties thereto shall provide the Oversight 

Board prompt notice of such dismissal. For the avoidance of doubt, the non-inclusion of a 

payment obligation arising from a valid law in a certified Fiscal Plan or HTA budget is not a 

basis for disallowance of such obligation to the extent the claim arising therefrom otherwise 

satisfies the requirements for allowance of a claim under the relevant provisions of the 

Bankruptcy Code. 

ARTICLE XXXIX

39.1 Dissolution of Creditors’ Committee: On the HTA Effective Date, the 

Creditors’ Committee shall be (a) dissolved and be deemed to have satisfied all of its respective

Committee shall not be dissolved with respect to its duties and obligations in connection with 

PREPA’s Title III case, and (z) the Creditors’ Committee shall be entitled to defend applications

To the extent that, as of the date immediately prior to the HTA Effective Date, the Creditors’

Committee was a party to a contested matter or adversary proceeding in connection with the 

Title III Case, including, without limitation, the Debt Related Objections, the Invalidity Actions, 

the Lien Challenge Actions, the Appointments Clause Litigation, the Uniformity Litigation, the 

Clawback Actions, the Lift Stay Motions, and any objection to claim, from and after the HTA 

Effective Date and to the extent not already a party thereto, Reorganized HTA shall be deemed 

to have assumed such role and responsibility in connection with such contested matter and, upon 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:21769 Filed:08/07/22 Entered:08/07/22 15:27:58 Desc: Main

such assumption, the Creditors’ Committee shall be relieved of any role, responsibility or 

obligation with respect thereto.

prior to the HTA Effective Date, relating to the Title III Case, the Debtor or Reorganized HTA or 

any of their respective Assets, property, or interests of any nature whatsoever, including any 

interest accrued on such Claims from and after the HTA Petition Date, and regardless of whether 

any property will have been distributed or retained pursuant to the HTA Plan on account of such 

Claims or Causes of Action; provided, however, that, without prejudice to the exculpation rights 

set forth in Section 41.7 hereof, nothing contained in the HTA Plan or the HTA Confirmation 

Order is intended, nor shall it be construed, to be a grant of a non-consensual third party release

PROMESA, and such discharge shall void and extinguish any judgment obtained against the 

Debtor or Reorganized HTA and their respective Assets, and property at any time, to the extent 

such judgment is related to a discharged Claim, debt or liability. As of the HTA Effective Date, 

and in consideration for the value provided under the HTA Plan, each holder of a Claim in any 

Class under this HTA Plan shall be and hereby is deemed to release and forever waive and 

discharge as against the Debtor and Reorganized HTA, and their respective Assets and property 

and all such Claims.

penalties, and (F) any liability to the United States on the part of any non-debtor. Without 

limiting the foregoing, nothing contained herein or in the HTA Confirmation Order shall be 

deemed (i) to determine the tax liability of any Entity, including, but not limited to, the Debtor

HTA Confirmation Order to the contrary, including, without limitation, Sections 41.2, 41.3 and 

41.11 of the HTA Plan, except as may be precluded pursuant to the provisions of PROMESA, 

nothing in the HTA Plan, the HTA Confirmation Order or any HTA Plan-related document set 

forth in the Plan Supplement is intended, nor shall it be construed, to impair, alter, modify, 

diminish, prohibit, bar, restrain, enjoin, release, reduce, eliminate or limit the rights of the 

plaintiffs and defendants, including, without limitation, the parties to the Underwriter Actions, 

from asserting their respective rights, claims, causes of action and defenses in the Underwriter

or any other basis for the reduction of (or credit against) any judgment in connection with the 

Underwriter Actions (collectively, the “Defensive Rights”); provided, however, that, for the 

avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any Defensive Rights be used to obtain or result in the 

affirmative payment of money or the affirmative delivery of property to any plaintiff, defendant

and, to the extent named, third party defendant by the Debtor, Reorganized HTA, PREPA, the 

Commonwealth, or any other agency or instrumentality of the Commonwealth in connection 

with an Underwriter Action; and, provided, further, that no party in the Underwriter Actions,

further, that nothing herein or in the HTA Confirmation Order is intended, nor shall it be 

construed, to prohibit, preclude, bar, modify, or limit in any way the ability of any defendant in 

any Underwriter Action to assert Defensive Rights for the purpose of reducing, eliminating, or 

limiting the amount of any liability or judgment in any Underwriter Action. The parties in the 

Underwriter Actions shall be permanently barred, enjoined, and restrained from commencing, 

prosecuting, or asserting, against the Debtor, Reorganized HTA, PREPA, the Commonwealth, or

court, an arbitration, an administrative agency or forum, or in any other manner. 

41.3 Injunction on Claims: Except as otherwise expressly provided in the HTA Plan,

conform to, or comply with, the provisions of the HTA Plan or the HTA Confirmation Order, 

provided, however, that the Debtor’s compliance with the formal requirements of Bankruptcy

Date, Reorganized HTA shall, in the ordinary course of business and without the necessity for

void or unenforceable, the Title III Court 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

and provisions contained herein shall govern, (b) the terms and provisions of the HTA Plan and 

the terms and provisions of the HTA Confirmation Order, the terms and provisions of the HTA

settlement does not meet the standards governing settlements under Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and

taking of any action by the Debtor with respect to the HTA Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or the

Plan, the rights, benefits, and obligations of any Entity named or referred to in the HTA Plan or 

the HTA Confirmation Order shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of any heir,
