I. Settlement of the National Claims

Pursuant to sections 105(a) and 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule

9019, the provisions of the National Settlement shall constitute a good-faith compromise and

compromise and settlement of all of the Claims, interests, Causes of Action and controversies

described in the foregoing sentence pursuant to section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code and

Exhibit A Page 50 of 112
Settlement is in the best interests of PREPA, the Oversight Board, and Holders of Claims and is

fair, equitable, and reasonable.

Pursuant to sections 105(a) and 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule

9019, the treatment of the National Reimbursement Claim as set forth in this Plan is expressly

conditioned upon the approval and effectiveness of the compromise and settlement between the

Oversight Board, on behalf of PREPA, and National, with respect the National Reimbursement

Claim, pursuant to which the National Reimbursement Claim is Allowed as set forth in Article

XVIII.A of the Plan and shall receive the treatment described in Article IX.A of the Plan. If the

Title III Court does not approve the settlement with National or determines the treatment of the

National Reimbursement Claim does not comply with PROMESA for reasons including, without

limitation, the Allowability and/or treatment of the National Reimbursement Claim, or the Title

III Court finds the treatment of the National Reimbursement Claim constitutes unfair

discrimination, the settlement and the treatment of National’s Claims shall, without further

action, convert to a settlement of National’s Claims that eliminates the obligation to issue Series

B Bonds on account of the National Reimbursement Claim and all payments for debt service

arising from, relating to, or on account of the National Reimbursement Claim; provided, that, in

such circumstance, National shall have the option to forego all consideration under the National

PSA, including the fees and expenses set forth in Article II.D.2, and, in exchange, receive the

same treatment as another settling Class of Holders of PREPA Revenue Bonds Claims, so long

as the settlement with such Class whose recovery National would receive was reached prior to

the earlier to occur of (i) any substantive ruling on the claims and counterclaims asserted in the

Amended Lien & Recourse Challenge that Holders of PREPA Revenue Bonds are secured by

Revenues outside of the Sinking Fund, and (ii) an indication or a determination, either oral or

written, at a hearing or otherwise, by the Title III Court that the Holders of PREPA Revenue

Bonds are secured by Revenues outside of the Sinking Fund.

sufficient to repay such interest due and payable on the New Bonds in the succeeding Fiscal Year

and/or (b) initiate a rate case before PREB or any other proceeding to compel PREB to

implement an increase in the Legacy Charge sufficient to pay such interest due and payable on

the New Bonds in the succeeding Fiscal Year (the “Interest Rate Covenant”). The New Master

Trustee shall have the right to compel specific performance of the Interest Rate Covenant.

K. No Rights of Acceleration

The New Bonds and the CVI shall not be subject to acceleration other than an

acceleration of the New Bonds in connection with an insolvency proceeding (including under

Title III of PROMESA).

L. Limited Default

1. New Bonds

There shall be no event of default on the New Bonds (prior to the stated final maturity

date of the Series A Bonds, solely with respect to the Series A Bonds, and generally with respect

to the Series B Bonds) for failure to pay scheduled debt service, so long as Reorganized PREPA

(a) charges and employs its reasonable best efforts to (i) levy the Legacy Charge, (ii) collect the

Revenues generated by the Legacy Charge, and (iii) deposit the full amount of Net Revenues up

to the amount of the Legacy Charge Revenues into the Debt Service Fund after providing for

distributions made in accordance with the Payment Waterfall, and (b) complies with the Interest

Rate Covenant.

2. CVI

There shall be no event of default on the CVI so long as Reorganized PREPA takes

reasonable actions to collect Revenues generated by the Remaining Legacy Charge and deposits

the full amount of Net Revenues up to the amount of the Remaining Legacy Charge Revenues

into the Debt Service Fund.

M. Limited Remedies

Upon the occurrence of an event of default on the New Bonds or the CVI, the New

Master Trustee’s sole remedies shall be to: (a) seek enforcement of Reorganized PREPA’s

obligation to take reasonable measures to levy rates, fees, and charges, including, but not limited

to, the Legacy Charge and the Remaining Legacy Charge and collect Revenues generated by the

Legacy Charge and Remaining Legacy Charge and deposit Net Revenues up to the amount of the

Legacy Charge Revenues with respect to the New Bonds and up to the amount of the Remaining

Exhibit A Page 57 of 112
Legacy Charge Revenues with respect to the CVI into the Debt Service Fund in accordance with

the Payment Waterfall; and/or (b) prior to the Series A Bond Defeasance Date or the earlier of

the Series B Bond Defeasance Date or Series B Bonds final maturity, as applicable, at the request

of twenty-five percent (25.0%) or more of the Series A Bonds or the Series B Bonds, as

applicable, enforce the Interest Rate Covenant. All provisions of the Commonwealth

Constitution, Commonwealth statutes, executive orders, rules, regulations, and policies that

provide the “Right to Receivership Upon Default,” codified at 22 L.P.R.A. § 207, are preempted as

inconsistent with PROMESA. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lien securing the New Bonds is not

limited to the Net Revenues deposited in the Debt Service Fund.

N. Additional Bonds and Refunding Bonds 

Reorganized PREPA may issue Refunding Bonds to refund, refinance, or defease

outstanding New Bonds authorized under the New Master Indenture. Such Refunding Bonds

shall be secured by Net Revenues up to the amount of the Legacy Charge Revenues as more

specifically set forth in the New Master Indenture.

Reorganized PREPA may issue Additional Bonds for any lawful purpose in accordance

with the additional bonds test and the other terms of the New Master Indenture. Such Additional

Bonds may be secured by Revenues as more specifically set forth in the New Master Indenture;

provided, that the Revenues securing any such Additional Bonds exclude during the applicable

periods an amount up to Legacy Charge Revenues and Remaining Legacy Charge Revenues, as

applicable, while the New Bonds, any Refunding Bonds, or the CVI remain outstanding. For the

avoidance of doubt, the New Bonds shall not have a priority of payment senior to that of the

Additional Bonds; provided, however, that the Revenues securing any Additional Bonds exclude

during the applicable periods an amount up to the Legacy Charge Revenues and Remaining

Legacy Charge Revenues, as applicable.

O. Force Majeure

1. New Bonds

In the event of a federally-declared disaster as a result of a storm or other catastrophic

event that disrupts Reorganized PREPA’s operations such that Reorganized PREPA cannot

collect Revenues necessary to cover Operating Expenses and deposit Net Revenues up to the

amount of the Legacy Charge Revenues with respect to the New Bonds in accordance with the

Payment Waterfall for a given Fiscal Year, Reorganized PREPA may elect, in its sole discretion,

to defer up to two (2) consecutive semi-annual debt service payments.

For the avoidance of doubt, if Reorganized PREPA exercises such election, interest on

the New Bonds will continue to accrue until paid. All deferred principal and interest on Series A

Bonds impacted by such election shall be paid on or before the earlier of Series A Bonds final

stated maturity date or the first scheduled payment date five (5) years after the end of the debt

service deferral period. All deferred principal and interest on Series B Bonds impacted by such

election shall be paid on or before the first scheduled payment date five (5) years after the end of

the debt service deferral period. For the avoidance of doubt, the interest on the New Bonds that

 49

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:23665-1 Filed:03/01/23 Entered:03/01/23 23:48:41 Desc:

Exhibit A Page 58 of 112
is deferred as a result of the force majeure election shall keep accruing even after the stated

maturity of the Series B Bonds.

2. CVI

In the event of a federally-declared disaster as a result of a storm or other catastrophic

event that disrupts Reorganized PREPA’s operations such that Reorganized PREPA cannot

collect Revenues necessary to cover Operating Expenses and deposit Remaining Net Revenues

up to the amount of the Remaining Legacy Charge Revenues with respect to the CVI into the

Debt Service Fund in accordance with the Payment Waterfall for a given Fiscal Year,

Reorganized PREPA shall be under no obligation to make CVI payments for any shortfalls in

Remaining Legacy Charge Revenues.

P. Direct Right of Action

Pursuant to the New Master Indenture, and subject to such additional rights as provided

therein, the New Master Trustee shall have a direct right of action to enforce the terms of the

New Master Indenture, including, without limitation, with respect to funding deposits in the Debt

Service Fund and seeking specific performance remedies for any breach of covenants in the New

Master Indenture.

Q. New Master Indenture

Provisions requiring the Legacy Charge to be added to bills issued by Reorganized

PREPA to its customers to pay principal and interest on the New Bonds, make payments on the

CVI, and governing, among other things, amendments of or supplements to the New Bonds, the

CVI, or the New Master Indenture, events of default, remedies, priority of payments after default

under the New Master Indenture, and defeasance under the New Master Indenture will be set

forth in the New Master Indenture. The New Master Indenture will be executed and delivered on

or prior to the Effective Date.

R. Governing Law

The New Master Indenture, and the New Bonds and CVI issued thereunder, as applicable,

will be governed by the laws of the State of New York and, for certain limited matters, the laws

of the Commonwealth, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

S. Tax Exemption of the New Bonds

In the event that the Government Parties obtain a ruling from the IRS (the

“Determination”) that certain features of the New Bonds will not prevent the issuance of all of the

New Bonds on the Effective Date as tax-exempt obligations, any Holders of Claims or Entities

receiving New Bonds pursuant to the Plan shall receive the benefit of such Determination in the

form of tax-exempt New Bonds issued pursuant to the Plan with coupons for all maturities equal

to the coupons on the tax-exempt New Bonds as set forth herein; provided, however, that such

New Bonds shall be accompanied by the favorable opinion of Section 103 Bond Counsel that the

interest, other than pre-issuance accrued interest, on such New Bonds is, in such counsel’s

opinion, excluded from gross income for purposes of U.S. federal income tax, Commonwealth

income tax, and U.S. state and local income tax; provided, further, however, that, in the event

that the Determination is obtained subsequent to the Effective Date, then the holders of the

taxable New 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 purposes of

U.S. federal income tax, Commonwealth income tax, and U.S. state and local income tax; 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 earliest to occur of (1) within

forty-five (45) days of the entry of the Confirmation Order, (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 Master Indenture following receipt of a favorable Determination and

consummation of an Exchange Offer.

T. CVIs Not Tax Exempt

Any income received on account of the CVIs shall not be excluded from gross income for

purposes of U.S. federal income tax, Commonwealth income tax, and U.S. state and local

income tax.

ARTICLE XX

PROVISIONS REGARDING NATIONAL INSURED BONDS AND TREATMENT OF

NATIONAL INSURED BOND CLAIMS

In the event that Classes 5 and 6 vote to accept the Plan in accordance with section 1126

of the Bankruptcy Code, and all National Insurance Policies and related agreements related to

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

National, with no outstanding payment defaults by National with respect to such National Insured

Bonds up to and including the Effective Date, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the

Plan, on the Effective Date, Holders of Allowed National Insured Bond Claims shall receive the

following treatments, which treatments shall be selected by National, in its sole and absolute

discretion, at or prior to the Plan Supplement Deadline and be set forth on the National

Bondholder Election Form; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, National Insured

Bonds owned or held by National (by subrogation or otherwise) shall not be subject to the

treatment elections set forth in this Article XX and, subject to the rights of the Bond Trustee,

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 Article XX and satisfying all such treatment or elections,

National shall have all right, title, and interest in the National Plan Consideration and shall

manage the National Plan Consideration in its sole and absolute discretion subject to and in

 51

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:23665-1 Filed:03/01/23 Entered:03/01/23 23:48:41 Desc:

Exhibit A Page 60 of 112
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 in relation to, such Holder’s Allowed

National Insured Bond Claim pursuant to the options set forth in this Article XX will take into

account any payments of principal and/or accrued interest already made to such Holder by

National pursuant to the terms of the relevant National Insurance Policies, and such Holder shall

not be compensated for any amounts already paid to such Holder pursuant to the terms of the

relevant National Insurance Policies.

A. National Commutation Treatment of National Insured Bond Claims 

Each Holder of an Allowed National Insured Bond Claim shall have the option to elect on

the National Bondholder Election Form to receive, on the Effective Date, the National

Commutation Consideration, distributable by or at the direction of National, and, if elected, (i)

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 Effective 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 consideration 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

Bond Claim. The National Insured Bonds of a Holder that timely and validly elects to receive

the National Commutation Treatment or makes an improper election as described in Article

XX.F hereof, shall be deemed cancelled on the Effective Date, and National’s obligations under

the applicable National Insurance Policies shall be fully and finally satisfied, released, and

discharged.

B. National Non-Commutation Treatment of National Insured Bond Claims 

In the event that a Holder of an National Insured Bond Claim timely and validly elects on

the National Bondholder Election Form to receive the National Non-Commutation Treatment in

accordance with the provisions of Article XX.B and Article XX.F hereof, (i) National shall

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

National Insured Bond Claim, and (ii) such Holder shall receive one or more of the following

treatments, at National’s election, which election shall be exercised by National in its sole

discretion at or prior to the Plan Supplement Deadline, and as detailed in the National

Bondholder Election Form.

1. Custodial Trusts 

Such Holder of an National Insured Bond Claim shall (A) deposit, or be deemed to have

deposited, among other things, such Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the National Trust Consideration,

the National Insured Bonds allocable to such electing Holder, and the related National Insurance

Policies into the applicable National Trust, (B) be deemed to have received its Pro Rata Share of

the National Trust Consideration and National Certificates in consideration therefor, and (C)

 52

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:23665-1 Filed:03/01/23 Entered:03/01/23 23:48:41 Desc:

Exhibit A Page 61 of 112
have no recourse to National or the National Insurance Policies other than as provided for under

the terms of the National Trust.

2. Escrow

Such Holder of a National Insured Bond Claim shall deposit, or be deemed to have

deposited, among other things, such holder’s Pro Rata Share of the National Escrow

Consideration in the National Escrow Account and such deposited National Escrow

Consideration shall be held as security for National’s obligations to the Holders of the National

Insured Bonds whose National Escrow Consideration was deposited in the National Escrow

Account under the National Insurance Policies.

3. Payment of Accelerated Amounts 

National shall receive the National Plan Consideration that would be otherwise allocable

to such Holder of an Allowed National Insured Bond Claim and National shall fully and

completely discharge its obligation to such Holder of an Allowed National Insured Bond Claim

by paying on the Effective Date, in Cash, the amount thereof at the National Acceleration Price

as of the date of payment.

4. Alternative Treatment 

The Oversight Board and National reserve the right to formulate an alternative election or

implementation option with respect to the National Insured Bonds that is mutually acceptable to

the Oversight Board and National, each in their respective sole discretion; provided, however,

that any such alternative election or implementation option must be proposed, in writing, prior to

the Plan Supplement Deadline. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt,

National may make different elections, with respect to different CUSIPs and different holders of

National Insured Bonds.

C. Acceleration of National Insured Bonds

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, to the extent that there are no

outstanding payment defaults by National with respect to National Insured Bonds up to and

including the Effective Date, the payment of the principal of the National Insured Bonds shall be

accelerated as of the Effective Date, and such National Insured Bonds shall be due and payable

from and after the Effective Date at the National Acceleration Price of one hundred percent

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

capital appreciation bonds, the compounded amount thereof) to the date of payment. National

shall have the right to pay the National Acceleration Price with respect to the National Insured

Bonds at any time, and the Holder of the National Insured Bonds and the trustee or fiscal agent

(as applicable) shall be required to accept the same in satisfaction of National’s obligations under

the applicable National Insurance Policy with respect to such bonds, and, upon such payment,

National’s obligations under the applicable National Insurance Policy shall be fully satisfied and

extinguished, notwithstanding any provision of the applicable National Insurance Policy or other

documents related to the National Insured Bonds. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding

such acceleration, there shall be no acceleration of any payment required to be made under any

 53

Exhibit A Page 62 of 112
National Insurance Policy unless National 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 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 Effective Date, PREPA 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 such rights may be exercised directly and exclusively by National as if it

were PREPA 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 National Acceleration Price.

E. Entitlement to Vote

Subject to the terms and provisions of the Disclosure Statement Order, (a) the solicitation

of acceptances and rejections to the Plan by Holders of National Insured Bond Claims shall be

made by the Oversight Board to National in accordance with the provisions of Section 301(c)(3)

of PROMESA, applicable law and governing documents, and (b) the election to choose between

the National Commutation Treatment as set forth in Article XX.A hereof and the National

Non-Commutation Treatment as set forth in Article XX.B hereof shall be made by the beneficial

Holders of the applicable National Insured Bonds on the National Bondholder Election Form;

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

by National in accordance with Article XX.B hereof.

F. Improper Election

If a Holder of an Allowed National Insured Bond Claim (1) fails to timely and validly

elect the National Non-Commutation Treatment pursuant to Article XX.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 Article XX.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 Article XX.A hereof. In addition, the National

Insured Bonds of a Holder of an Allowed National Insured Bond Claim 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 Effective Date, and National’s obligations under the applicable

National Insurance Policies shall be fully and finally satisfied, released, and discharged.

ARTICLE XXI

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

A. Rejection or Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 365(b)(2) and subject to the provisions of Article

XXI.F and Article XXI.H hereof, all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that exist

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:23665-1 Filed:03/01/23 Entered:03/01/23 23:48:41 Desc:

Exhibit A Page 63 of 112
between the Debtor and any Entity, and which have not expired by their own terms on or prior to

the Confirmation Date, shall be deemed rejected by the Debtor as of the Effective Date, except

for any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (a) that has been assumed, assumed and assigned,

or rejected pursuant to an order of the Title III Court entered prior to the Effective Date, (b) that

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

Schedule of Assumed Contracts and Leases to the Plan Supplement, (c) that has been registered

with the Office of the Comptroller of Puerto Rico or has been approved by the Oversight Board

or authorized by the Title III Court, (d) with the United States, or any of its agencies,

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

agencies, departments, municipalities, public corporations, or instrumentalities, unless

specifically designated a contract to be rejected in the Plan Supplement, or (f) that contains any

easement, license, or permit in favor of PREPA or Reorganized PREPA or necessary to PREPA’s

or Reorganized PREPA’s operations or assets; provided, however, that the Debtor reserves the

right, on or prior to the 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 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 Article XXI.A 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 Article XXI.A, 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

has any liability thereunder.

Except as otherwise provided herein or agreed to by the Debtor and the applicable

counterparty, each assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall include all

modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements related thereto, and

all rights related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges,

immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests. Modifications, amendments,

supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that

have been executed by PREPA during the Title III Case shall not be deemed to alter the

prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or the validity, priority, or

amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.

Except as otherwise provided herein or agreed to by the Debtor and the applicable

counterparty, each assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall include all

modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements related thereto, and

all rights related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges,

immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests. Modifications, amendments,

supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that

have been executed by PREPA during the Title III Case shall not be deemed to alter the

prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or the validity, priority, or

amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.

Exhibit A Page 64 of 112
B. Approval of Rejection or Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Title III Court shall constitute approval, pursuant

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

and assignment, as the case may be, of an Executory Contract and an Unexpired Lease pursuant

to Article XXI.A of the Plan.

C. 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.

D. Cure of Defaults and Objections to Cure and Assumption

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 Article XXI.A of the Plan, the Debtor shall, pursuant to the provisions of Bankruptcy

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

Code section 365, within at least twenty (20) days prior to the 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 Article XXI.A of the 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 there are any objections filed, the Title III Court shall

hold a hearing on a date to be set by the Title III Court. Any counterparty to an Executory

Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to timely object to the proposed assumption or

assumption and assignment of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease will be deemed

to have consented to such assumption or assumption and assignment. Notwithstanding the

terms and provisions of Article XXI.A of the 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 Effective Date.

Any Cure Claim shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged upon payment

by PREPA of the Cure Claim; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent PREPA from

paying any Cure Claim despite the failure of the relevant counterparty to file such request for

payment of such Cure Claim. PREPA also may settle any Cure Claim without any further notice

to or action, order, or approval of the Title III Court. If there is any dispute regarding any Cure

Claim, the ability of PREPA or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future

performance” within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code section 365, or any other matter pertaining

to assumption, then payment of such Cure Claim shall occur as soon as reasonably practicable

after entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute, approving such assumption (and, if

applicable, assignment), or as may be agreed upon by PREPA and the counterparty to the

Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.

Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or

otherwise shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Cure Claims, Claims, or defaults,

whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in

control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any

assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time prior to the effective date of

assumption. Any and all Proofs of Claim (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including

Cure Claims) based upon Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that have been

assumed in the Title III Case, including pursuant to the Confirmation Order, shall be

deemed Disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without the need for any

objection thereto or any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Title III

Court.

E. Contracts and Leases Entered Into After the Petition Date

Contracts, leases, and other agreements entered into after the Petition Date by PREPA

and any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by PREPA may be performed by

PREPA in the ordinary course of its operations.

F. Insurance Policies

Subject to the terms and provisions of Article XXI.H hereof, each of the Debtor’s

Insurance Policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto, are treated as

Executory Contracts under the Plan and shall be assumed as of the Effective Date; provided,

however, that such treatment shall not, and shall not be construed to, discharge or relieve any

Monoline Insurer with respect to its respective obligations to Holders of Claims under policies of

insurance and applicable law and governing documents with respect thereto, as applicable, under

this Plan.

G. 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, the Reorganized Debtor, unless a Proof of Claim is filed with the

Title III Court and served upon attorneys for the Oversight Board and Reorganized Debtor, as the

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

H. Indemnification and Reimbursement Obligations

For purposes of the 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

 57

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:23665-1 Filed:03/01/23 Entered:03/01/23 23:48:41 Desc:

Exhibit A Page 66 of 112
Petition Date, as the case may be, shall be deemed assumed as of the Effective Date, and (ii)

indemnification obligations of the Debtor arising from conduct of officers and directors during

the period from and after the Petition Date, as the case may be, shall be Administrative Expense

Claims; provided, however, that, under no circumstances shall the Debtor or the Reorganized

Debtor, 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.

I. Nonoccurrence of Effective Date

If the 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 Bankruptcy Code section 365(d)(4), unless such deadline(s) have

expired.

J. Reservation of Rights

Nothing contained in the Plan or the Plan Supplement shall constitute an admission by

the Debtor, Reorganized Debtor, or any other party that any such contract or lease is in fact an

and compensate attorneys, other professionals, and employees to assist the GUC Trust Board on

the GUC Trust Beneficiaries) shall treat the transfer of the GUC Trust Assets to the GUC Trust

as (1) a transfer of the GUC Trust Assets (subject to any obligations relating to those Assets)

directly to the GUC Trust Beneficiaries, followed by (2) the transfer by such beneficiaries to the

 60

Exhibit A Page 69 of 112
GUC Trust of the GUC Trust Assets in exchange for GUC Trust Interests. Accordingly, the

GUC Trust Beneficiaries shall be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as the

deemed grantors and owners of their respective share of the GUC Trust Assets. The foregoing

treatment shall also apply, to the extent permitted by applicable law, for state and local income

tax purposes.

2. Tax Reporting.

a) The GUC Trustee shall prepare and file (or cause to be prepared

and filed) tax returns for the GUC Trust treating the GUC Trust as a grantor trust pursuant to

Treasury Regulation section 1.671-4(a) and in accordance with this Article XXII.N. The GUC

Trustee also will annually send to each Holder of a GUC Trust Interest a separate statement

regarding the receipts and expenditures of the GUC Trust as relevant for U.S. federal income tax

purposes and will instruct all such Holders to use such information in preparing their U.S. federal

income tax returns or to forward the appropriate information to such Holder’s underlying

beneficial holders with instructions to utilize such information in preparing their U.S. federal

income tax returns. The GUC Trustee shall also file (or cause to be filed) any other statement,

return, or disclosure relating to the GUC Trust that is required by any Governmental Unit.

b) The GUC Trustee shall then in good faith value all other GUC

Trust Assets, and shall make all such values available from time to time, to the extent relevant,

and such values shall be used consistently by all parties to the GUC Trust (including, without

limitation, the Debtor, the GUC Trustee, and GUC Trust Beneficiaries) for all United States

federal income tax purposes.

c) Allocations of GUC Trust taxable income among the GUC Trust

Beneficiaries shall be determined by reference to the manner in which an amount of Cash

representing such taxable income would be distributed (were such Cash permitted to be

distributed at such time) if, immediately prior to such deemed distribution, the GUC Trust had

distributed all its assets to the holders of the GUC Trust Interests, adjusted for prior taxable

income and loss and taking into account all prior and concurrent distributions from the GUC

Trust. Similarly, taxable loss of the GUC Trust shall be allocated by reference to the manner in

which an economic loss would be borne immediately after a hypothetical liquidating distribution

of the remaining GUC Trust Assets. The tax book value of the GUC Trust Assets for purpose of

this paragraph shall equal their fair market value on the Effective Date, adjusted in accordance

with tax accounting principles prescribed by the IRC, the applicable Treasury Regulations, and

other applicable administrative and judicial authorities and pronouncements.

d) Subject to definitive guidance from the IRS or a court of competent

jurisdiction to the contrary (including the receipt by the GUC Trustee of a private letter ruling if

the GUC Trustee so requests one, or the receipt of an adverse determination by the IRS upon

audit if not contested by the GUC Trustee), the GUC Trustee shall (A) timely elect to treat any

reserve for the GUC Trust Assets as a “disputed ownership fund” governed by Treasury

Regulation section 1.468B-9, and (B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, report

consistently with the foregoing for state and local income tax purposes. All parties (including the

GUC Trustee and the GUC Trust Beneficiaries) shall report for United States federal, state, and

local income tax purposes consistently with the foregoing.

Exhibit A Page 70 of 112
e) The GUC Trustee shall be responsible for payment, out of the

GUC Trust Assets, of any taxes imposed on the trust or its Assets. In the event, and to the extent,

any Cash retained on account of Disputed Claims insufficient to pay the portion of any such taxes

attributable to the taxable income arising from the assets allocable to, or retained on account of,

Disputed Claims, such taxes may be (i) reimbursed from any subsequent Cash amounts retained

on account of Disputed Claims, or (ii) to the extent such Disputed Claims have subsequently

been resolved, deducted from any amounts otherwise distributable by the GUC Trustee as a

result of the resolution of such Disputed Claims.

3. Tax Withholdings by GUC Trustee. The GUC Trustee may withhold and pay to

the appropriate tax authority all amounts required to be withheld pursuant to the IRC or any

provision of any foreign, state, or local tax law with respect to any payment or distribution to the

holders of GUC Trust Interests. All such amounts withheld and paid to the appropriate tax

authority (or placed in escrow pending resolution of the need to withhold) shall be treated as

amounts distributed to such holders of GUC Trust Interests for all purposes of the GUC Trust

Deed of Trust, and it being understood that any such amount withheld shall reduce the amount

actually realized by the applicable holder upon distribution. The GUC Trustee shall be

authorized to collect such tax information from the holders of GUC Trust Interests (including,

without limitation, social security numbers or other tax identification numbers) as in its sole

discretion the GUC Trustee deems necessary to effectuate the Plan, the Confirmation Order, and

the GUC Trust Deed of Trust. In order to receive distributions under the Plan, all holders of

GUC Trust Interests shall be required to identify themselves to the GUC Trustee and provide tax

information and the specifics of their holdings, to the extent the GUC Trustee deems appropriate

in the manner and in accordance with the procedures from time to time established by the GUC

Trustee for these purposes. This identification requirement generally applies to all holders of

GUC Trust Interests, including those who hold their securities in street name. The GUC Trustee

may refuse to make a distribution to any holder of a GUC Trust Interest that fails to furnish such

information in a timely fashion, and until such information is delivered, and may treat such

holder’s GUC Trust Interests as disputed; provided, however, that, if such information is not

furnished to the GUC Trustee within six (6) months of the original request to furnish such

information, no further distributions shall be made to the holder of such GUC Trust Interest; and,

provided, further, that, upon the delivery of such information by a holder of a GUC Trust

Interest, the GUC Trustee shall make such distribution to which the holder of the GUC Trust

Interest is entitled, without additional interest occasioned by such holder’s delay in providing tax

information; and, provided, further, that, if the GUC Trustee fails to withhold in respect of

amounts received or distributable with respect to any such holder and the GUC Trustee is later

held liable for the amount of such withholding, such holder shall reimburse the GUC Trustee for

such liability (to the extent such amounts were actually distributed to such holder).

O. Dissolution of GUC Trust

The GUC Trustee and the GUC Trust shall be discharged or dissolved, as the case may

be, upon the earlier to occur of (i) all of the GUC Trust Assets have been distributed pursuant to

the Plan and the GUC Trust Deed of Trust, and (ii) all distributions required to be made by the

GUC Trustee under the Plan and the GUC Trust Deed of Trust have been made. Upon the

dissolution of the GUC Trust, all remaining GUC Trust Assets, if any, shall be distributed to the

PREPA PayGo Trust.

P. Indemnification of GUC Trustee and Members of GUC Trust Board

The GUC Trustee or the individual(s) comprising the GUC Trustee, as the case may be,

the GUC Trust Board, the members of the GUC Trust Board and their respective employees,

agents, and professionals, shall not be liable to the GUC Trust Beneficiaries for actions taken or

omitted in their capacity as, or on behalf of, the GUC Trustee or the GUC Trust Board, as

applicable, except those acts arising out of their own willful misconduct or gross negligence, and

each shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement by the GUC Trust for fees and

expenses in defending any and all actions or inactions in their capacity as, or on behalf of, the

GUC Trustee or the GUC Trust Board, as applicable, except for any actions or inactions

involving willful misconduct or gross negligence. Any indemnification claim of the GUC

Trustee, the GUC Trust Board, the members of the GUC Trust Board, and the other parties

entitled to indemnification under this subsection shall be satisfied solely from the GUC Trust

Assets and shall be entitled to a priority distribution therefrom, ahead of the GUC Trust Interests

and any other claim to or interest in such assets. The GUC Trustee, the GUC Trust Board, and

the members of the GUC Trust Board shall be entitled to rely, in good faith, on the advice of

their retained professionals.

N. Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Avoidance Actions Trust

1. Avoidance Actions Trust Assets Treated as Owned by Creditors. For all

United States federal income tax purposes, all parties (including, without limitation, the Debtor,

the Avoidance Actions Trustee, and the Avoidance Actions Trust Beneficiaries) shall treat the

transfer of the Avoidance Actions Trust Assets to the Avoidance Actions Trust as (1) a transfer

of the Avoidance Actions Trust Assets (subject to any obligations relating to those Assets)

directly to the Avoidance Actions Trust Beneficiaries, followed by (2) the transfer by such

beneficiaries to the Avoidance Actions Trust of the Avoidance Actions Trust Assets in exchange

for Avoidance Actions Trust Interests. Accordingly, the Avoidance Actions Trust Beneficiaries

of their respective share of the Avoidance Actions Trust Assets. The foregoing treatment shall

also apply, to the extent permitted by applicable law, for state and local income tax purposes.

and expenditures of the Avoidance Actions Trust as relevant for U.S. federal income tax

purposes and will instruct all such holders to use such information in preparing their U.S. federal

income tax returns or to forward the appropriate information to such Holder’s underlying

beneficial holders with instructions to utilize such information in preparing their U.S. federal

income tax returns. The Avoidance Actions Trustee shall also file (or cause to be filed) any other

statement, return, or disclosure relating to the Avoidance Actions Trust that is required by any

Governmental Unit.

b) The Avoidance Actions Trustee will then in good faith value all

Trustee, and Avoidance Actions Trust Beneficiaries) for all United States federal income tax

purposes.

c) Allocations of Avoidance Actions Trust taxable income among the

Avoidance Actions Trust Beneficiaries shall be determined by reference to the manner in which

an amount of Cash representing such taxable income would be distributed (were such Cash

permitted to be distributed at such time) if, immediately prior to such deemed distribution, the

Avoidance Actions Trust had distributed all its assets to the holders of the Avoidance Actions

Trust Interests, adjusted for prior taxable income and loss and taking into account all prior and

concurrent distributions from the Avoidance Actions Trust. Similarly, taxable loss of the

Avoidance Actions Trust shall be allocated by reference to the manner in which an economic loss

would be borne immediately after a hypothetical liquidating distribution of the remaining

Avoidance Actions Trust Assets. The tax book value of the Avoidance Actions Trust Assets for

purpose of this paragraph shall equal their fair market value on the Effective Date, adjusted in

accordance with tax accounting principles prescribed by the IRC, the applicable Treasury

Regulations, and other applicable administrative and judicial authorities and pronouncements.

d) Subject to definitive guidance from the IRS or a court of competent

jurisdiction to the contrary (including the receipt by the Avoidance Actions Trustee of a private

letter ruling if the Avoidance Actions Trustee so requests one, or the receipt of an adverse

determination by the IRS upon audit if not contested by the Avoidance Actions Trustee), the

Avoidance Actions Trustee shall (A) timely elect to treat any reserve for the Avoidance Actions

Trust Assets as a “disputed ownership fund” governed by Treasury Regulation section 1.468B-9,

and (B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, report consistently with the foregoing for state

and local income tax purposes. All parties (including the Avoidance Actions Trustee and the

Avoidance Actions Trust Beneficiaries) shall report for United States federal, state, and local

income tax purposes consistently with the foregoing.

e) The Avoidance Actions Trustee shall be responsible for payment,

out of the Avoidance Actions Trust Assets, of any taxes imposed on the trust or its assets. In the

event, and to the extent, any Cash retained on account of Disputed Claims insufficient to pay the

portion of any such taxes attributable to the taxable income arising from the assets allocable to,

or retained on account of, Disputed Claims, such taxes may be (i) reimbursed from any

subsequent Cash amounts retained on account of Disputed Claims, or (ii) to the extent such

Disputed Claims have subsequently been resolved, deducted from any amounts otherwise

distributable by the Avoidance Actions Trustee as a result of the resolution of such Disputed

Claims.

3. Tax Withholdings by Avoidance Actions Trustee. The Avoidance Actions

Trustee may withhold and pay to the appropriate tax authority all amounts required to be

withheld pursuant to the IRC or any provision of any foreign, state, or local tax law with respect

to any payment or distribution to the holders of Avoidance Actions Trust Interests. All such

amounts withheld and paid to the appropriate tax authority (or placed in escrow pending

resolution of the need to withhold) shall be treated as amounts distributed to such holders of

Avoidance Actions Trust Interests for all purposes of the Avoidance Actions Trust Agreement,

and it being understood that any such amount withheld shall reduce the amount actually realized

by the applicable holder upon distribution. The Avoidance Actions Trustee shall be authorized

to collect such tax information from the holders of Avoidance Actions Trust Interests (including,

without limitation, social security numbers or other tax identification numbers) as in its sole

discretion the Avoidance Actions Trustee deems necessary to effectuate the Plan, the

Confirmation Order, and the Avoidance Actions Trust Agreement. In order to receive

distributions under the Plan, all holders of Avoidance Actions Trust Interests shall be required to

identify themselves to the Avoidance Actions Trustee and provide tax information and the

specifics of their holdings, to the extent the Avoidance Actions Trustee deems appropriate in the

manner and in accordance with the procedures from time to time established by the Avoidance

Actions Trustee for these purposes. This identification requirement generally applies to all

holders of Avoidance Actions Trust Interests, including those who hold their securities in street

name. The Avoidance Actions Trustee may refuse to make a distribution to any holder of a

Avoidance Actions Trust Interest that fails to furnish such information in a timely fashion, and

until such information is delivered, and may treat such holder’s Avoidance Actions Trust

Interests as disputed; provided, however, that, if such information is not furnished to the

Avoidance Actions Trustee within six (6) months of the original request to furnish such

information, no further distributions shall be made to the holder of such Avoidance Actions Trust

Interest; and, provided, further, that, upon the delivery of such information by a holder of a

Avoidance Actions Trust Interest, the Avoidance Actions Trustee shall make such distribution to

which the holder of the Avoidance Actions Trust Interest is entitled, without additional interest

occasioned by such holder’s delay in providing tax information; and, provided, further, that, if the

Avoidance Actions Trustee fails to withhold in respect of amounts received or distributable with

respect to any such holder and the Avoidance Actions Trustee is later held liable for the amount

of such withholding, such holder shall reimburse the Avoidance Actions Trustee for such liability

(to the extent such amounts were actually distributed to such holder).

O. Dissolution of Avoidance Action Trust

The Avoidance Actions Trustee and the Avoidance Actions Trust shall be discharged or

dissolved, as the case may be, upon the earlier to occur of (i) all of the Avoidance Actions Trust

Assets have been distributed pursuant to the Plan and the Avoidance Actions Trust Agreement,

(ii) the Avoidance Actions Trustee determines, with the consent of the Avoidance Actions Trust

Board, that the administration of any remaining Avoidance Actions Trust Assets is not likely to

yield sufficient additional Avoidance Actions Trust proceeds to justify further pursuit, including

because the expense of administering the Avoidance Actions Trust so as to make a final

distribution to its beneficiaries is likely to exceed the value of the Assets remaining in the

Avoidance Actions Trust, and (iii) all distributions required to be made by the Avoidance

Actions Trustee under the Plan and the Avoidance Actions Trust Agreement have been made.

Upon the dissolution of the Avoidance Actions Trust, all remaining Avoidance Action Trust

Assets, if any, shall be transferred to the GUC Trust.

P. Indemnification of Avoidance Actions Trustee and Members of Avoidance Actions

ARTICLE XXIV

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

A. Appointment of Distribution Agent

PREPA, Reorganized PREPA, the GUC Trustee, and/or the Solicitation Agent shall act

as Distribution Agent or may employ or contract with other Entities, to act as the Distribution

Agent or to assist in or make the distributions required by the Plan. Any Distribution Agent

appointed by PREPA or the GUC Trustee shall serve without bond. Other than as specifically set

forth in the Plan, the Distribution Agent shall make all distributions required to be made under

the Plan. Except as otherwise provided herein, all distributions under the Plan shall be made by

the Distribution Agent.

B. Distributions on Account of Claims Allowed as of the Effective Date

Except as otherwise provided herein, a Final Order, or as otherwise agreed to by PREPA

and the Holder of the applicable Claim, on the first Distribution Date, the Distribution Agent

shall make initial distributions under the Plan on account of Claims Allowed on the Effective

Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, subject to PREPA’s and Reorganized PREPA’s right to

object to Claims; provided, however, that Allowed Administrative Expense Claims with respect

to liabilities incurred by PREPA in the ordinary course of its operations during the Title III Case

or assumed by PREPA prior to the Effective Date shall be paid or performed in the ordinary

course of its operations in accordance with the terms and conditions of any controlling

agreements, course of dealing, course of operations, or industry practice; provided, further, that

the Distribution Agent may make distributions of Fuel Line Lender PSA Creditor Fees to a party

entitled thereto in a manner mutually agreed upon between such party and the Distribution Agent

and to the extent the Fuel Line Lender PSA Creditor Fees shall be payable in Cash, such Fuel

Line Lender PSA Creditor Fees shall be paid no later than ten (10) Business Days following the

Effective Date; provided, further, that the Oversight Board will use reasonable efforts to

distribute New Bonds through The Depository Trust Company. Except as otherwise provided in

the Plan, Holders of Claims shall not be entitled to interest, dividends, or accruals on the

distributions provided for in the Plan, regardless of whether such distributions are delivered on or

 69

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:23665-1 Filed:03/01/23 Entered:03/01/23 23:48:41 Desc:

Exhibit A Page 78 of 112
at any time after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no

Holder of an Allowed Claim shall, on account of such Allowed Claim, receive a distribution in

excess of the Allowed amount of such Claim.

C. Rights and Powers of Distribution Agent

1. Powers of the Distribution Agent

Except as may be provided otherwise hereunder, the Distribution Agent shall be

empowered to (a) take all steps and execute all instruments and documents necessary to

effectuate the Plan, (b) make distributions contemplated by the Plan, (c) comply with the Plan

and the obligations thereunder, and (d) exercise such other powers as may be vested in the

Distribution Agent pursuant to order of the Title III Court, pursuant to the Plan, or as deemed by

the Distribution Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions of the Plan.

2. Fees and Expenses Incurred On and After the Effective Date

Except as otherwise ordered by the Title III Court, the amount of any reasonable fees and

expenses incurred by the Distribution Agent on and after the Effective Date and any reasonable

compensation and expense reimbursement claims, including, without limitation, reasonable fees

and expenses of counsel, incurred by the Distribution Agent, shall be paid in Cash without

further order of the Title III Court.

D. Special Rules for Distributions to Holders of Disputed Claims

Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan and except as otherwise agreed by

the relevant parties: (a) no partial payments and no partial distributions shall be made with

respect to a Disputed Claim until all such disputes in connection with such Disputed Claim have

been resolved by settlement or Final Order; and (b) any Entity that holds both an Allowed Claim

and a Disputed Claim shall not receive any distribution on the Allowed Claim unless and until all

objections to the Disputed Claim have been resolved by settlement or Final Order or the Claims

have been Allowed or expunged. Any dividends or other distributions arising from property

distributed to Holders of Allowed Claims in a Class and paid to such Holders under the Plan

shall also be paid, in the applicable amounts, to any Holder of a Disputed Claim in such Class

that becomes an Allowed Claim after the date or dates that such dividends or other distributions

were earlier paid to Holders of Allowed Claims in such Class.

At such time as a Disputed Claim becomes, in whole or in part, an Allowed Claim,

Reorganized Debtor shall distribute to the Holder thereof the distributions, if any, to which such

Holder is then entitled under the 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 judgement of the Title III Court allowing such

Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order.

E. Delivery of Distributions

1. Timeliness of Distributions

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:23665-1 Filed:03/01/23 Entered:03/01/23 23:48:41 Desc:

Exhibit A Page 79 of 112
Any distribution to be made pursuant to the Plan shall be deemed to be timely made if

made within ten (10) Business Days after the date specified in the Plan. Whenever any

distribution to be made under this 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.

2. Record Date for Distributions

Subject to the provisions of Bankruptcy Rule 9010, and except as provided in the

Confirmation Order or herein, distributions and deliveries to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be

made through DTC 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

Distribution Agent for the benefit of Holders of Allowed PREPA Revenue Bond Claims shall be

made to the Bond Trustee, as applicable, for such obligation in accordance with the respective

governing documents for such obligations. Neither PREPA nor any Distribution Agent,

including the GUC Trustee, will have any obligation to recognize the transfer of, or the sale of

any participation in, any Claim that occurs after the close of business on the Distribution Record

Date, and will be entitled for all purposes herein to recognize and distribute only to those Holders

of Allowed Claims (including Holders of Claims that become Allowed after the Distribution

Record Date) that are Holders of such Claims, or participants therein, as of the close of business

on the Distribution Record Date; provided, however, that the New Bonds will be transferable and

transfers will be recognized if made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the New

Master Indenture. PREPA and any Distribution Agent shall instead be entitled to recognize and

deal for all purposes under the Plan with only those record Holders stated on the official Claims

Register as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date.

3. Distribution Process

The Distribution Agent shall make all distributions required under the Plan, except that

distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims governed by a separate agreement and administered

by a Servicer shall be deposited with the appropriate Servicer, at which time such distributions

shall be deemed complete, and the Servicer shall deliver such distributions in accordance with

the Plan and the terms of the governing agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, and

notwithstanding any authority to the contrary, distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims,

including Claims that become Allowed after the Effective Date, shall be made to Holders of

record as of the Effective Date by the Distribution Agent or a Servicer, as appropriate: (1) to the

address of such Holder as set forth in the books and records of the Debtor (or if the Debtor has

been notified in writing, on or before the date that is ten (10) days before the Effective Date, of a

change of address, to the changed address); (2) in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 4, as modified and made applicable by Bankruptcy Rule 7004, if no address exists in

the Debtor’s books and records, no Proof of Claim has been filed and the Distribution Agent has

not received a written notice of a change of address on or before the date that is ten (10) days

before the Effective Date; or (3) on any counsel that has appeared in the Title III Case on the

Holder’s behalf. The Debtor and the Distribution Agent, as applicable, shall not incur any

liability whatsoever on account of any distributions under the Plan.

4. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate

Except as otherwise provided in a Final Order, as of the Effective Date, any Claim

asserted in currency other than U.S. dollars shall be automatically deemed converted to the

equivalent U.S. dollar value using the exchange rate for the applicable currency as published in

The Wall Street Journal, National Edition, on the Effective Date.

5. De Minimis, Fractional, Undeliverable, and Unclaimed Distributions

(a) De Minimis and Fractional Distributions. No distribution of (i) New

Bonds shall be made by the Distribution Agent on account of an Allowed

Claim if the amount to be distributed to the specific Holder of an Allowed

Claim on the applicable Distribution Date has an economic value of less

than $1,000.00 and (ii) Cash shall be made by the Distribution Agent on

account of an Allowed Claim if the amount to be distributed to the specific

Holder of an Allowed Claim on the applicable Distribution Date has an

economic value of less than $100.00. No fractional New Bonds shall be

distributed. Where a fractional portion of a New Bond otherwise would be

called for under the Plan, the actual issuance shall reflect a rounding down

to the nearest whole New Bond.

(b) Undeliverable Distributions. If any distribution to any Holder is returned

to the Distribution Agent as undeliverable, no further distribution shall be

made to such Holder unless and until the Distribution Agent is notified, in

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

provision of Article XXIV.E.5(c) of the Plan, undeliverable distributions

shall remain in the possession of the Distribution 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 Plan shall require

the Distribution Agent to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed

Claim.

(c) Reversion of Unclaimed Distributions. If (i) a check is sent, by the

Distribution 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 or that has become an Unclaimed

Distribution, the Distribution Agent (or its duly authorized agent) shall, on

or prior to the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days from (i) the

Effective Date, with respect to all Allowed Claims as of the 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

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

Exhibit A Page 81 of 112
identify itself and assert its rights pursuant to the 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 Plan, against

the Reorganized Debtor or the GUC Trustee, or their respective

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

the Distribution Agent or the trustee with respect to existing securities, as

the case may be, shall be released to the Reorganized Debtor for use to

discharge operating expenses of the Reorganized Debtor and (2) the New

Bonds in the possession of the Distribution Agent with respect to existing

securities, shall be released to the Reorganized Debtor for cancellation or

deposit into the treasury of the Reorganized Debtor, as determined by

Reorganized Debtor in its sole and absolute discretion.

6. Surrender of Cancelled Instruments 

As a condition to participation under this Plan, the Holder of a note, debenture, or other

evidence of indebtedness of PREPA that desires to receive the property to be distributed on

account of an Allowed Claim based on such note, debenture, or other evidence of indebtedness

shall surrender such note, debenture, or other evidence of indebtedness to PREPA or its designee

(unless such Holder’s Claim will not be Impaired by the Plan, in which case such surrender shall

not be required), and shall execute and deliver such other documents as are necessary to

effectuate the Plan; provided, however, that, if a claimant is a Holder of a note, debenture, or

other evidence of indebtedness for which no physical certificate was issued to the Holder but

which instead is held in book-entry form pursuant to a global security hold by DTC or other

securities depository or custodian thereof, there shall be no requirement of surrender. In

PREPA’s sole discretion, if no surrender of a note, debenture, or other evidence of indebtedness

occurs and the Holder of a Claim does not provide an affidavit and indemnification agreement, in

form and substance reasonably satisfactory to PREPA, that such note, debenture, or other

evidence of indebtedness was lost, then no distribution may be made to such Holder in respect of

the Claim based on such note, debenture, or other evidence of indebtedness.

7. 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 Plan, (b) for purposes of evidencing a right to

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

rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases pursuant to Article XXI.A hereof), on the

Effective Date, the PREPA Revenue Bonds and Fuel Line Facilities 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, as applicable, under

the PREPA Revenue Bonds and Fuel Line Facilities and all instruments and documents related

thereto shall be discharged; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything contained herein

to the contrary, the PREPA Revenue Bonds and Fuel Line Facilities and such other instruments

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:23665-1 Filed:03/01/23 Entered:03/01/23 23:48:41 Desc:

Exhibit A Page 82 of 112
and documents shall continue in effect solely (i) to allow the Distribution Agent to make any

distributions as set forth in the Plan and to perform such other necessary administrative or other

functions with respect thereto, (ii) to allow Holders of Allowed PREPA Revenue Bond Claims,

Allowed National Claims, and Allowed Fuel Line Loan Claims to receive distributions in

accordance with the terms and provisions of the 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 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, or (v) as may be

necessary to preserve any claims under the respective Insurance Policies and related documents

issued by a Monoline Insurer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise expressly

provided in the 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 Debtor, as the case may

be.

F. Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties

1. Claims Paid by Third Parties

A Claim shall be reduced in full, and such Claim shall be Disallowed without an

objection to such Claim having to be filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or

approval of the Title III Court, to the extent that the Holder of such Claim receives payment in

full on account of such Claim from a party that is not the Distribution Agent. To the extent a

Holder of a Claim receives a distribution on account of such Claim and also receives payment

from a party that is not the Distribution Agent on account of such Claim from the Distribution

Agent, such Holder shall repay, return, or deliver any distribution held by or transferred to the

Holder to the applicable Distribution Agent to the extent the Holder’s total recovery on account

of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount of such Claim as of

the date of any such distribution under the Plan.

2. Claims Payable by Insurance Carriers

No distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of an Allowed Claim that is

payable pursuant to one of PREPA’s Insurance Policies until the Holder of such Allowed Claim

has exhausted all remedies with respect to such insurance policy. To the extent that one or more

of PREPA’s insurers agrees to satisfy in full a Claim, then immediately upon such insurers’

agreement, such Claim may be expunged to the extent of any agreed upon satisfaction on the

Claims Register by the Solicitation Agent without a Claims objection having to be filed and

without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Title III Court.

3. Applicability of Insurance Policies

Except as otherwise provided herein, distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be

in accordance with the provisions of an applicable insurance policy. Except as otherwise

expressly provided herein, nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver

of any Cause of Action that PREPA or any Entity may hold against any other Entity, including

 74

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:23665-1 Filed:03/01/23 Entered:03/01/23 23:48:41 Desc:

Exhibit A Page 83 of 112
insurers under any policies of insurance, nor shall anything contained herein constitute or be

deemed a waiver by such insurers of any defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such

insurers.

G. Withholding and Reporting Requirements

Any party issuing any instrument or making any distribution under the 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 Plan shall be subject to any

such withholding or reporting requirements. Notwithstanding the above, each holder of an

Allowed Claim that is to receive a distribution under the 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 Plan has the

right, but not the obligation, to not make a distribution until such Holder has made arrangements

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

obligations and, if any party issuing any instrument or making any distribution under the 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 Distribution 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. PREPA

reserves the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all

applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and other spousal awards, Liens, and

encumbrances.

H. Time Bar to Cash Payments

Checks issued by the Distribution 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 Distribution 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 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 Distribution

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.

I. Distributions After Effective Date

Distributions made after the Effective Date to Holders of Claims that are not Allowed

Claims as of the Effective Date, but which later become Allowed Claims, shall be deemed to

have been made in accordance with the terms and provisions of Article XXIV.E of the Plan.

J. Setoffs

Exhibit A Page 84 of 112
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order, the Distribution

Agent may, pursuant to applicable bankruptcy or non-bankruptcy law, set off against any

Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account thereof (before

any distribution is made on account of such Claim by the Distribution Agent), the claims, rights,

and Causes of Action of any nature that the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor 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 Debtor of any such claims, rights, and Causes of Action that the Debtor or the

Reorganized Debtor 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 Bankruptcy Code sections 553, 555, 559,

or 560 or pursuant to the common law right of recoupment; and, provided, further, that nothing

in this Article XXIV.J shall affect the releases and injunctions provided in Article XXVII of the

Plan.

K. Allocation Between Principal and Accrued Interest

To the extent that any Allowed Claim entitled to a distribution under the 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

Petition Date, second, to the principal amount of the Claim (as determined for federal income tax

purposes) and third, to the extent the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claim, to

such other amounts; provided, however, that the Debtor’s or Reorganized Debtor’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.

L. Holder of Claim

For all purposes of the Plan, including, without limitation, for purposes of distributions

pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Article XXIV, 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,

solely with respect to Insured PREPA Revenue Bonds and Bankruptcy Code section 1126, the

Holder of any Insured PREPA Revenue Bond Claims shall be determined in accordance with

PROMESA section 301(c)(3) and any law or governing documents applicable to such Insured

PREPA Revenue Bond Claims.

M. Exculpation

From and after the Effective Date, the Distribution Agent shall be exculpated by all

Entities, including, without limitation, Holders of Claims and other parties in interest, from any

and all claims, Causes of Action, and other assertions of liability arising out of the discharge of

the powers and duties conferred upon such Distribution Agent by the Plan or any order of the

Title III Court entered pursuant to or in furtherance of the Plan, or applicable law, except for

actions or omissions to act arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such

Distribution Agent. No Holder of a Claim or other party in interest shall have or pursue any

claim or cause of action against the Distribution Agent for making payments in accordance with

the Plan or for implementing the provisions of the Plan.

ARTICLE XXV

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED CLAIMS

A. Objections to Claims and Prosecution of Disputed Claims

Except with respect to Allowed Claims, and subject to the terms and conditions of the

ADR Procedures and the ADR Order, the Reorganized Debtor, by and through the Oversight

Board, 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

the Reorganized Debtor, by and through the Oversight Board, 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 the Title III Court, to the extent not already objected to by the

Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor shall file and serve all objections to Claims as soon as

practicable, but, in each instance, not later than the Claims Objection Bar Date. Notwithstanding

anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, on the Effective Date, any (i) PREPA Revenue

Bond Claim or Fuel Line Loan Claim filed by any Entity for amounts due under existing

securities and (ii) Proofs of Claim included on a schedule to the Plan Supplement, if any, shall be

deemed satisfied and expunged and the Oversight Board shall instruct the Solicitation Agent, its

court-appointed representative, to remove such Claims from the Claims Register maintained for

the benefit of the Title III Court.

Except as otherwise provided herein, no Claim shall become an Allowed Claim unless

and until such Claim is deemed Allowed under the Plan or PROMESA, or the Title III Court has

entered a Final Order allowing such Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, there is no requirement

to file a Proof of Claim (or move the Title III Court for allowance) to be an Allowed Claim under

the Plan. Except as otherwise provided herein, all Proofs of Claim filed after the Effective

Date shall be Disallowed and forever barred, estopped, and enjoined from assertion, and

shall not be enforceable against PREPA or Reorganized PREPA, without the need for any

objection by PREPA or Reorganized PREPA or any further notice to or action, order, or

approval of the Title III Court.

B. Estimation of Claims

Except with respect to Allowed Claims, on and after the Effective Date, and unless

otherwise limited by an order of the Title III Court, including, without limitation, the ACR Order

and the ADR Order, the Reorganized Debtor, 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 Bankruptcy Code section 502(c) 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

 77

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:23665-1 Filed:03/01/23 Entered:03/01/23 23:48:41 Desc:

Exhibit A Page 86 of 112
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, the Reorganized Debtor,

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 Bankruptcy Code section 502(j). All of the aforementioned Claims

objection, estimation, and resolution procedures are cumulative and not necessarily exclusive of

one another.

C. Claims Administration Responsibilities

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, after the Effective Date, PREPA

shall have the sole authority: (1) to file, withdraw, or litigate to judgment, objections to Claims;

(2) to settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without any further notice to or action, order, or

approval by the Title III Court; and (3) to administer and adjust the Claims Register to reflect any

such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by

the Title III Court. For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise provided herein, from and

after the Effective Date, PREPA shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses PREPA had

immediately prior to the Effective Date with respect to any Disputed Claim.

D. Adjustment to Claims Without Objection

Any duplicate Claim or any Claim that has been paid, satisfied, amended, or superseded

may be adjusted or expunged on the Claims Register by PREPA without PREPA having to file

an application, motion, complaint, objection, or any other legal proceeding seeking to object to

such Claim and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Title III Court.

E. Extension of Claims Objection Bar Date

Upon motion by Reorganized PREPA to the Title III Court, Reorganized PREPA may

request, and the Title III Court may grant, an extension to the Claims Objection Bar Date

generally or with respect to specific Claims. Any extension granted by the Title III Court shall

not be considered to be a modification of the Plan under PROMESA section 313.

F. Authority to Amend Creditor List

PREPA will have the authority to amend the Creditor List with respect to any Claim and

to make distributions based on such amended Creditor List without approval of the Title III

Court. If any such amendment to the Creditor List reduces the amount of a Claim or changes the

nature or priority of a Claim, PREPA 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 Distribution Agent may proceed with

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

On the Effective Date, the Creditors’ Committee shall be (a) dissolved and be deemed to

have satisfied all of its respective duties and obligations, and (b) released and discharged from

any action or activity taken, or required to be taken, in connection with the Title III Case. To the

ARTICLE XXXIV

PROVISIONS REGARDING OVERSIGHT BOARD AND COMPLIANCE WITH

PROMESA

A. Effect of Confirmation

Nothing in this Plan or the Confirmation Order shall discharge, substitute, alter, or

otherwise modify the powers and responsibilities of the Oversight Board pursuant to PROMESA

or the obligations of the Reorganized Debtor under PROMESA. From and after the Effective

Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall continue to have all of its obligations pursuant to

PROMESA, including, without limitation, the terms and conditions of Titles I and II thereof.

B. Ongoing Role of the Oversight Board

Nothing in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall discharge any or all obligations of

each Debtor under PROMESA and, from and after the 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 Plan and the consummation thereof.

C. Preemption of Laws

As of the Effective Date, and to the extent not previously preempted pursuant to an order

of the Title III Court, provisions of Commonwealth laws, rules, or regulations that affect PREPA

or Reorganized PREPA 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, 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 or altered by the

Plan and the Confirmation Order pursuant to PROMESA, and such discharge shall prevail over

any general or specific provisions of territory laws, rules, and regulations, are preempted to the

extent inconsistent with the Plan’s discharge of the Debtor’s obligations and all such laws shall

not be enforceable to the extent they are inconsistent with the Plan’s discharge of the Debtor’s

obligations or any of the transactions contemplated by the 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 Schedule D 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 Schedule D hereto

is preempted by PROMESA shall be dismissed, with prejudice, as of the 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 PREPA 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 XXXV

RETENTION OF JURISDICTION

The Title III Court shall retain all its exclusive and concurrent subject matter jurisdiction,

as the case may be, over any matter arising under PROMESA, arising in or related to, the Title III

Unexpired Lease that is assumed or assumed and assigned; and (c) any dispute regarding whether

Confirmation Order or any other contract, instrument, security, release, or other agreement or

document created in connection with the Plan or the Confirmation Order, or remedy any defect or

omission or reconcile any inconsistency in any order, the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or any

or comply with, the provisions of the Plan or the Confirmation Order, provided,
