(510) 337-1001

Pursuant to Section 1121(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code (Doc. 2741), and asks that the Court

immediately terminate the Debtors’ exclusive right to file and seek acceptances of a plan.

ESC Local 20 represents the engineers, estimators, mappers, project managers, and other

professional and technical employees that have been doing the important work needed to maintain

and modernize the systems and keep the public utility safe. These employees will be critical to

any reorganization effort.

ESC Local 20 does not endorse the particular plan described by the Senior Unsecured

Noteholders at this time, but it does support termination of the Debtors’ exclusivity period so that

competing plans may be considered and a plan can be confirmed. Confirmation of a plan as soon

as possible is in the best interests of all parties.

Although the Ad Hoc Committee of Senior Unsecured Noteholders requests termination

of the Debtors’ exclusivity period only for itself, so that only the Ad Hoc Committee would be

permitted to file and solicit a plan of reorganization, ESC Local 20 supports the termination of the

Debtors’ exclusivity period generally. Creditors should be afforded the opportunity to evaluate

any credible plan that would put the Debtors in a position to emerge as a safe, viable, and

responsible enterprise.

Because ESC Local 20 believes that competing plans will ultimately yield the best

possible result for employees and other critical stakeholders, ESC Local 20 supports the Motion

and further requests that this Court enter an order terminating the Debtors’ exclusivity period in

order to permit all parties to file and solicit acceptances of a plan of reorganization.
