redacted to protect privileged, confidential, or proprietary information and (ii) shall not be required to

pleading, on at least ten days’ prior written notice (but no more than 30 days’ notice) of any hearing

on such motion or other pleading, setting forth the specific objections to the Disputed Invoiced Fees 

in reasonable narrative detail and the bases for such objections; provided that the Reorganized Debtors 

shall pay all amounts that are not the subject of such objection upon the expiration of the Review 

Period and shall pay the balance following resolution of any such objection or upon an order of the 

Bankruptcy Court. 

(d) Distributions and Discharge: Funding of the Subrogation Wildfire Trust as 

provided above shall be in full and final satisfaction, release, and discharge of all Utility Subrogation 

Wildfire Claims. Each holder of a Utility Subrogation Wildfire Claim that is party to the Subrogation

Wildfire Claim Allocation Agreement shall receive payment as determined in accordance with the

Allowed Claims.

Utility Subrogation Wildfire Claims shall be fully assumed by, and be the sole responsibility of, the 

Subrogation Wildfire Trust, and all such Claims shall be satisfied solely from the assets of the

Wildfire Claim that fixes the amount or terms for satisfaction of such Claim, including by a

distribution shall be made to such holder without interest. 

(b) The Disbursing Agent, with the Funded Debt Trustees’ cooperation, shall make 

any distributions on account of the Allowed Funded Debt Claims. The Funded Debt Trustees shall 

have no duties or responsibility relating to any form of distribution that is not DTC eligible and the

Disbursing Agent, the Debtors, or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall seek the cooperation 

of DTC so that any distribution on account of an Allowed Funded Debt Claim that is held in the name 

of, or by a nominee of, DTC, shall be made through the facilities of DTC on the Effective Date or as 

soon as practicable thereafter. The Reorganized Debtors shall reimburse the Funded Debt Trustees 

for any reasonable and documented fees and expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees 

and expenses of its counsel and agents) incurred after the Effective Date solely in connection with 

actions explicitly requested by the Reorganized Debtors necessary for implementation of the Plan; 

provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the Plan or Confirmation Order shall be 

considered or construed as an explicit request by the Reorganized Debtors authorizing the incurrence 

of fees and expenses by the Funded Debt Trustees. 

5.8 Unclaimed Property. For distributions other than from the Wildfire Trusts, all 

distributions payable on account of Claims that are not deliverable, or have not responded to a request 

for information to make such delivery, and remain unclaimed shall be deemed unclaimed property 

under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors or their 

successors or assigns one year from the later of (a) the Effective Date and (b) the date that is ten (10) 

Business Days after the date a Claim is first Allowed, and all claims of any other Entity (including the 

holder of a Claim in the same Class) to such distribution shall be discharged and forever barred. The

Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent shall have no obligation to attempt to locate any holder 

of an Allowed Claim other than by reviewing the Debtors’ books and records and filings with the 

Bankruptcy Court.

5.9 Satisfaction of Claims. Unless otherwise provided herein, any distributions 

and deliveries to be made on account of Allowed Claims under this Plan shall be in complete and final 

satisfaction, settlement, and discharge of and exchange for such Allowed Claims.

5.10 Fractional Stock. No fractional shares or Interests of New HoldCo Common 

Stock shall be distributed. If any distributions of New HoldCo Common Stock pursuant to the Plan 

or the Plan Documents would result in the issuance of a fractional share or Interest of New HoldCo 

Common Stock, then the number of shares or Interests of New HoldCo Common Stock to be issued 

in respect of such distribution shall be calculated to one decimal place and rounded up or down to the

closest whole share or Interest (with a half share or Interest or greater rounded up and less than a half 

share or Interest rounded down). The total number of shares or Interests of New HoldCo Common 

Stock, as applicable, to be distributed in connection with the Plan shall be adjusted as necessary to 

account for the rounding provided for in this Section 5.10. No consideration shall be provided in lieu 

of fractional shares or Interests that are rounded down. Neither the Reorganized Debtors nor the 

Disbursing Agent shall have any obligation to make a distribution that is less than (1) share or Interest 

of New HoldCo Common Stock. Any New HoldCo Common Stock that is not distributed in 

accordance with this Section 5.10 shall be returned to, and ownership thereof shall vest in, Reorganized 

HoldCo.

5.11 Manner of Payment under Plan. Except as specifically provided herein, at 

the option of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, any Cash payment to be made 

under this Plan may be made by check, ACH, wire transfer, or any other method agreed between the 

Debtors or Reorganized Debtors and the holder of the Claim.

5.12 No Distribution in Excess of Amount of Allowed Claim. Notwithstanding 

anything to the contrary in this Plan, no holder of an Allowed Claim shall receive, on account of such

Allowed Claim, distributions in excess of the Allowed amount of such Claim, except to the extent that 

payment of postpetition interest on such Claim is specifically provided for by the Plan, the 

Confirmation Order, or another order of the Bankruptcy Court or required by the Bankruptcy Code. 

5.13 Setoffs and Recoupments. Each Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable,

or such Entity’s successor or designee, may, pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or 

applicable nonbankruptcy law, offset or recoup against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be 

made pursuant to this Plan on account of such Allowed Claim any and all Claims, rights, and Causes 

of Action that such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor or its successors may hold against the holder of 

such Allowed Claim; provided, that neither the failure to effect a setoff or recoupment nor the 

allowance of any Claim hereunder will constitute a waiver or release by a Debtor or Reorganized 

Debtor or its successor of any Claims, rights, or Causes of Action that any such entity or it successor 

or designee may possess against such holder. 

5.14 Rights and Powers of Disbursing Agent.

issued after the Effective Date) or pursuant to this Plan or (B) as deemed by the Disbursing Agent to 

be necessary and proper to implement the provisions of this Plan. 

(b) To the extent the Disbursing Agent is an Entity other than a Debtor or 

Reorganized Debtor, except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the amount of any 

reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent on or after the Effective Date 

(including taxes) and any reasonable compensation and expense reimbursement Claims (including for 

reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees and expenses) made by the Disbursing Agent shall 

be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors. 

5.15 Withholding and Reporting Requirements. 

(a) In connection with this Plan and all distributions made hereunder, the 

Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent shall comply with all applicable withholding and 

reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local, or foreign taxing authority, and all 

distributions under this Plan shall be subject to any such withholding or reporting requirements. In 

the case of a non-Cash distribution that is subject to withholding, the distributing party may withhold 

an appropriate portion of such distributed property and sell such withheld property to generate Cash 

necessary to pay over the withholding tax. Any amounts withheld pursuant to the preceding sentence 

shall be deemed to have been distributed to and received by the applicable recipient for all purposes 

of this Plan. 

(b) Notwithstanding the above, each holder of an Allowed Claim that is to receive 

a distribution under this Plan shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and 

payment of any tax obligations imposed on such holder by any federal, state, local, or foreign taxing 

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

The Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent have the right, but not the obligation, to not make 

a distribution until such holder has made arrangements satisfactory to any issuing or disbursing party

for payment of any such tax obligations. 

(c) The Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent may require, as a condition 

to receipt of a distribution, that the holder of an Allowed Claim provide any information necessary to

allow the distributing party to comply with any such withholding and reporting requirements imposed 

by any federal, state, local, or foreign taxing authority. If the Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing 

Agent make such a request and the holder fails to comply before the date that is 180 days after the 

request is made, the amount of such distribution shall irrevocably revert to the applicable Reorganized 

Debtor and any Claim in respect of such distribution shall be discharged and forever barred from 

assertion against such Reorganized Debtor or its respective property. 

5.16 Credit for Distributions under Wildfire Assistance Program. If a holder of 

an Allowed Wildfire Claim has received any distribution from the Wildfire Assistance Program, such 

distribution shall be credited against any distribution to be made on account of such holder’s Wildfire 

Claim under this Plan and in accordance with the terms of the Wildfire Trust Agreements.

Reorganized Debtors shall be entitled to object to Claims. The Subrogation Wildfire Trustee shall be 

entitled to object to Subrogation Wildfire Claims. Any objections to Claims shall be served and filed

on or before the later of (i) one-hundred and eighty (180) days after the Effective Date and (ii) such

later date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court (as the same may be extended by the Bankruptcy 

Court for cause shown). 

7.2 Resolution of Disputed Administrative Expense Claims and Disputed 

Claims. Except as otherwise provided for in the Plan, in the Claims Resolution Procedures, the 

Subrogation Claims RSA, or in the Wildfire Trust Agreements, on and after the Effective Date, the

any objections to Disputed Administrative Expense Claims or Disputed Claims and to compromise, 

settle, or otherwise resolve any Disputed Administrative Expense Claims and Disputed Claims without 

approval of the Bankruptcy Court, other than with respect to any Professional Fee Claims. On and

7.4 Distributions After Allowance. After such time as a Disputed Claim becomes, 

in whole but not in part, an Allowed Claim, the holder thereof shall be entitled to distributions, if any, 

to which such holder is then entitled as provided in this Plan. Such distributions shall be made as soon 

as practicable after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing such Disputed 

Claim (or portion thereof) becomes a Final Order. 

7.5 Disallowance of Claims. Any Claims held by an Entity from which property 

is recoverable under sections 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that is a transferee of a 

transfer avoidable under section 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy 

Code, as determined by a Final Order, shall be deemed disallowed pursuant to section 502(d) of the 

Bankruptcy Code, and holders of such Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such 

Claims until such time as such Causes of Action against that Entity have been settled or a Final Order

with respect thereto has been entered and all sums due, if any, to the Debtors by that Entity have been 

turned over or paid to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors. Except as otherwise provided herein 

or by an order of the Bankruptcy Court, 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 any Reorganized Debtor, without the need for any objection by the Reorganized Debtors or 

any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, other than a claim for 

damages arising from the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease. 

7.6 Estimation. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, in the Claims Resolution 

Procedures, and in the Wildfire Trust Agreements, or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court in the Other 

Wildfire Claims Estimation Proceeding, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (or the Subrogation 

Wildfire Trustee solely with respect to Disputed Subrogation Wildfire Claims) may determine, resolve 

and otherwise adjudicate all contingent Claims or unliquidated Claims in the Bankruptcy Court or 

such other court of the Debtors’, Reorganized Debtors’ or the Subrogation Wildfire Trustee’s choice 

having jurisdiction over the validity, nature or amount thereof. The Debtors or the Reorganized 

Debtors (or the Subrogation Wildfire Trustee solely with respect to Disputed Subrogation Wildfire 

Claims) may at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any contingent Claims or 

unliquidated Claims pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason or purpose, 

regardless of whether any of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (or the Subrogation Wildfire 

Trustee solely with respect to Disputed Subrogation Wildfire Claims) have previously objected to such 

Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection. The Bankruptcy Court shall 

retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any 

Claim, including, during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. If the Bankruptcy

Court estimates any contingent Claim or unliquidated Claim, that estimated amount shall constitute 

the maximum limitation on such Claim, and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (or the 

Subrogation Wildfire Trustee solely with respect to Disputed Subrogation Wildfire Claims) may 

pursue supplementary proceedings to object to the ultimate allowance of such Claim; provided, that 

such limitation shall not apply to Claims requested by the Debtors to be estimated for voting purposes

only. All of the aforementioned objection, estimation and resolution procedures are cumulative and 

not exclusive of one another. Claims may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, 

withdrawn, or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding 

section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, in no event shall any holder of a Claim that has been estimated

such Claim unless the holder of such Claim has filed a motion requesting the right to seek such 

reconsideration on or before twenty (20) calendar days after the date such Claim is estimated by the 

Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, Subrogation 

Wildfire Claims and Other Wildfire Claims may only be compromised, settled, or resolved pursuant 

to terms of the applicable Wildfire Trust Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII. 

EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES 

8.1 General Treatment. 

(a) As of, and subject to, the occurrence of the Effective Date and the payment of 

any applicable Cure Amount, all executory contracts and unexpired leases of the Reorganized Debtors 

shall be deemed assumed, unless such executory contract or unexpired lease (i) was previously 

assumed or rejected by the Debtors, pursuant to a Final Order, (ii) previously expired or terminated 

pursuant to its own terms or by agreement of the parties thereto, (iii) is the subject of a motion to 

assume, assume and assign, or reject filed by the Debtors on or before the Confirmation Date, or (iv) is 

specifically designated as an executory contract or unexpired lease to be rejected on the Schedule of 

Rejected Contracts. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of and subject to the occurrence of the 

Effective Date and the payment of any applicable Cure Amount, all power purchase agreements, 

renewable energy power purchase agreements, and Community Choice Aggregation servicing 

agreements of the Debtors shall be deemed assumed. 

(b) Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, entry of the Confirmation Order 

by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of the assumptions, assumptions and assignments, 

or rejections provided for in this Plan pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

Each executory contract and unexpired lease assumed pursuant to this Plan shall vest in, and be fully 

enforceable by, the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as modified 

by the provisions of this Plan, any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its 

assumption or assumption and assignment, or applicable law. 

8.2 Determination of Cure Disputes and Deemed Consent. 

(a) Any monetary defaults under an assumed or assumed and assigned executory 

contract or unexpired lease, shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code,

Date, subject to the limitations described below, or on such other terms as the parties to such executory 

contracts or unexpired leases and the Debtors may otherwise agree.

objection by a counterparty to an executory contract or unexpired lease to the proposed 

assumption, assumption and assignment, or related Cure Amount must be filed, served, and 

actually received by the Debtors at least seven (7) days before the Confirmation Hearing. Any 

counterparty to an executory contract or unexpired lease that fails to object timely to the proposed 

assumption, assumption and assignment, or Cure Amount will be deemed to have assented to such 

assumption, assumption and assignment, or Cure Amount. Notwithstanding anything herein to the 

contrary, in the event that any executory contract or unexpired lease is removed from the Schedule of 

Rejected Contracts after such fourteen (14)-day deadline, a cure notice with respect to such executory

contract or unexpired lease will be sent promptly to the counterparty thereof and a noticed hearing set 

to consider whether such executory contract or unexpired lease can be assumed or assumed and 

assigned, as applicable. 

(c) In the event of an unresolved dispute regarding (i) any Cure Amount, (ii) the 

ability of the Reorganized Debtors or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future 

performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the executory 

contract or unexpired lease to be assumed, or (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption, 

assumption and assignment, or the Cure Amounts required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy 

Code, such dispute shall be resolved by a Final Order (which order may be the Confirmation Order). 

(d) If the Bankruptcy Court makes a determination regarding any of the matters set 

forth in Section 8.2(c) above with respect to any executory contract or unexpired lease is greater than 

the amount set forth in the applicable cure notice, as set forth in Section 8.8(a) below, the Debtors or 

Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have the right to alter the treatment of such executory 

contract or unexpired lease, including, without limitation, to add such executory contract or unexpired 

lease to the Schedule of Rejected Contracts, in which case such executory contract or unexpired lease 

shall be deemed rejected as of the Effective Date. 

(e) Assumption or assumption and assignment of any executory contract or 

unexpired lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any 

Claims and Causes of Action against any Debtor or defaults by any Debtor, whether monetary or 

nonmonetary, including those arising under sections 503(b)(9) or 546(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, 

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 before the date that the Debtors assume or assume and assign such executory contract or 

unexpired lease. Any proofs of Claim filed with respect to an executory contract or unexpired lease 

that has been assumed or assumed and assigned shall be deemed disallowed and expunged, without 

further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. 

8.3 Rejection Damages Claims. In the event that the rejection of an executory 

contract or unexpired lease 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 timely filed proof 

of Claim, shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors or the 

Reorganized Debtors, or their respective estates, properties or interests in property, unless a 

proof of Claim is filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served upon the Debtors or the

Confirmation Date or (ii) the effective date of the rejection of such executory contract or 

unexpired lease, as set forth on the Schedule of Rejected Contracts or order of the Bankruptcy 

Court. The Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the 

rejection of all the leases and contracts identified in the Schedule of Rejected Contracts. 

8.4 Survival of the Debtors’ Indemnification Obligations. Any and all 

obligations of the Debtors pursuant to their corporate charters, agreements, bylaws, limited liability

(including all Indemnification Obligations) to indemnify current and former officers, directors, agents, 

or employees with respect to all present and future actions, suits, and proceedings against the Debtors 

or such officers, directors, agents, or employees based upon any act or omission for or on behalf of 

the Debtors shall remain in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law 

and shall not be discharged, impaired, or otherwise affected by this Plan. All such obligations shall

be deemed and treated as executory contracts that are assumed by the Debtors under this Plan and shall

continue as obligations of the Reorganized Debtors. Any Claim based on the Debtors’ obligations in 

this Section 8.4 herein shall not be a Disputed Claim or subject to any objection, in either case, by 

reason of section 502(e)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. 

8.5 Assumption of Employee Benefit Plans. On the Effective Date, all Employee 

Benefit Plans are deemed to be, and shall be treated as, executory contracts under this Plan and, on the 

Effective Date, shall be assumed pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

8.6 Collective Bargaining Agreements. 

(a) On or prior to the Effective Date, and subject to the occurrence of the Effective 

Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall assume the Collective Bargaining Agreements. 

8.7 Insurance Policies. 

(a) All Insurance Policies (including all D&O Liability Insurance Policies and tail 

coverage liability insurance) to which any Debtor is a party as of the Effective Date shall be deemed 

to be and treated as executory contracts and shall be assumed by the applicable Debtors or Reorganized

Debtor and shall continue in full force and effect thereafter in accordance with their respective terms.

or reclassify any executory contract or unexpired lease; provided, that if the Confirmation Hearing is 

adjourned for a period of more than two (2) consecutive calendar days, the Debtors’ right to amend 

such schedules and notices shall be extended to 4:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the Business Day

the case of any and all subsequent adjournments of the Confirmation Hearing. 

(b) Neither the exclusion nor the inclusion by the Debtors of any contract or lease 

on any exhibit, schedule, or other annex to this Plan or in the Plan Supplement, nor anything contained 

in this Plan or in the Plan Documents, will constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such

EFFECT OF CONFIRMATION 

10.1 Binding Effect. Except as otherwise provided in section 1141(d)(3) of the 

Bankruptcy Code, and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, on and after the entry of the 

Confirmation Order, the provisions of this Plan shall bind every holder of a Claim against or Interest

in any Debtor and inure to the benefit of and be binding on such holder’s respective successors and 

assigns, regardless of whether the Claim or Interest of such holder is impaired under this Plan and 

whether such holder has accepted this Plan.

(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, all assets and property of the Debtors shall vest in the Reorganized 

Debtors, as applicable, free and clear of all Claims, Liens, charges, and other interests, except as

discharged the Debtors, to the fullest extent permitted by section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, of and

from any and all Claims, Interests, rights, and liabilities that arose prior to the Effective Date. Upon

permanently enjoined after the entry of the Confirmation Order from: (i) commencing, conducting, or 

continuing in any manner, directly or indirectly, any suit, action, or other proceeding of any kind

enforceability, or effectiveness of the Channeling Injunction provided for herein and in the 

Confirmation Order. 

(e) Bankruptcy Rule 3016 Compliance. The Debtors’ compliance with the 

requirements of Bankruptcy Rule 3016 shall not constitute an admission that the Plan provides for an

(c) Only Consensual Non-Debtor Releases. Except as set forth under Section 

4.19(f)(ii) hereof, for the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding any other provision of this 

Plan, nothing in the Plan is intended to, nor shall the Plan be interpreted to, effect a 

nonconsensual release by a holder of a Claim in favor of a party that is not a Debtor, it being 

acknowledged that such holder shall be deemed to release a party that is not a Debtor under the 

Plan solely to the extent that such holder consensually elects to provide such Plan release in 

accordance with the opt-in release procedures set forth herein or in any applicable Ballot. The 

holder of a Claim shall receive the same amount of consideration under the Plan whether or not 

such holder elects to release a party that is not a Debtor in accordance with the opt-in release 

procedures set forth herein or in any applicable Ballot.

(d) Release of Liens. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or 

in any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created pursuant to the

satisfaction in full of the portion of the Secured Claim that is Allowed as of the Effective Date, 

all mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests against any property of 

the estates shall be fully released and discharged, and all of the right, title, and interest of any 

holder of such mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests shall revert 

to the Reorganized Debtors and their successors and assigns, in each case, without any further 

approval or order of the Bankruptcy Court and without any action or filing being required to 

be made by the Debtors. 

(e) Waiver of Statutory Limitations on Releases. Each releasing party in each 

of the releases contained in the Plan (including under Article X of the Plan) expressly 

acknowledges that although ordinarily a general release may not extend to claims which the 

releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his favor, which if known by it may have 

materially affected its settlement with the party released, each releasing party has carefully 

considered and taken into account in determining to enter into the above releases the possible 

existence of such unknown losses or claims. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

each releasing party expressly waives any and all rights conferred upon it by any statute or rule 

of law which provides that a release does not extend to claims which the claimant does not know 

or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by it may have 

materially affected its settlement with the released party, including the provisions of California 

Civil Code section 1542. The releases contained in this Article X of the Plan are effective 

regardless of whether those released matters are presently known, unknown, suspected or 

unsuspected, foreseen or unforeseen. 

(f) Injunction Related to Releases and Exculpation. The Confirmation Order 

shall permanently enjoin the commencement or prosecution by any Person or Entity, whether directly, 

derivatively, or otherwise, of any Claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, 

rights, Causes of Action, losses, or liabilities released pursuant to this Plan, including, the claims, 

obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action, and liabilities 

released or exculpated in this Plan. Notwithstanding the above, the holders of Ghost Ship Fire Claims

and Workers’ Compensation Claims retain the right to assert such Claims against the Reorganized 

Debtors in accordance with the terms of the Plan. 

10.10 Subordination. The allowance, classification, and treatment of all Allowed 

Claims and Interests and the respective distributions and treatments thereof under this Plan take into

account and conform to the relative priority and rights of the Claims and Interests in each Class in 

connection with any contractual, legal, and equitable subordination rights relating thereto, whether 

arising under general principles of equitable subordination, sections 510(a), 510(b), or 510(c) of the

Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise. Pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors reserve 

the right to reclassify any Allowed Claim (other than any DIP Facility Claims) or Interest in 

accordance with any contractual, legal, or equitable subordination relating thereto.

10.11 Retention of Causes of Action/Reservation of Rights. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.9 hereof, nothing herein or in the 

Confirmation Order shall be deemed to be a waiver or the relinquishment of any rights or Causes of 

Action that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may have or which the Reorganized Debtors may 

choose to assert on behalf of their respective estates under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or 

any applicable nonbankruptcy law, including (i) any and all Claims against any Person or Entity, to 

the extent such Person or Entity asserts a crossclaim, counterclaim, and/or Claim for setoff which 

seeks affirmative relief against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or their officers, directors, or 

representatives and (ii) for the turnover of any property of the Debtors’ estates. 

(b) Nothing herein or in the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to be a waiver or 

relinquishment of any rights or Causes of Action, right of setoff, or other legal or equitable defense

that the Debtors had immediately prior to the Petition Date, against or with respect to any Claim left

unimpaired by the Plan. The Reorganized Debtors shall have, retain, reserve, and be entitled to assert 

all such claims, Causes of Action, rights of setoff, and other legal or equitable defenses that they had 

immediately prior to the Petition Date fully as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced, and 

all of the Reorganized Debtors’ legal and equitable rights with respect to any Claim left unimpaired 

by the Plan may be asserted after the Confirmation Date to the same extent as if the Chapter 11 Cases 

had not been commenced. 

(c) The Reorganized Debtors reserve and shall retain the applicable Causes of 

Action notwithstanding the rejection of any executory contract or unexpired lease during the Chapter 

11 Cases or pursuant to the Plan. In accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, any 

Causes of Action that a Debtor may hold against any Entity shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors in 

accordance with the terms hereof. The Reorganized Debtors shall have the exclusive right, authority, 

and discretion to determine and to initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, 

release, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any such Causes of Action and to decline to do any of the 

foregoing without the consent or approval of any third party or further notice to or action, order, or

approval of the Bankruptcy Court. 

10.12 Preservation of Causes of Action. No Entity may rely on the absence of a 

specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure Statement to any Cause of

pursue any and all available Causes of Action against them. The Debtors and the Reorganized 

Debtors expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, 

except as otherwise expressly provided herein. 

10.13 Special Provisions for Governmental Units. Solely with respect to 

Governmental Units, nothing herein shall limit or expand the scope of discharge, release, or injunction 

to which the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors are entitled under the Bankruptcy Code. Further, 

nothing herein, including Sections 10.8 and 10.9 hereof, shall discharge, release, enjoin, or otherwise 

bar (a) any liability of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors to a Governmental Unit arising on or 

after the Confirmation Date with respect to events occurring on or after the Confirmation Date, (b) any 

liability to a Governmental Unit that is not a Claim, (c) any valid right of setoff or recoupment of a

Governmental Unit, (d) any police or regulatory action by a Governmental Unit, (e) any environmental 

liability to a Governmental Unit that the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, any successors thereto, or

any other Person or Entity may have as an owner or operator of real property after the Effective Date,

or (f) any liability to a Governmental Unit on the part of any Persons or Entities other than the Debtors 

or the Reorganized Debtors, provided, that nothing in this Section 10.13 shall affect the Debtors’ 

releases in Section 10.9 hereof, nor shall anything herein enjoin or otherwise bar any Governmental 

Unit from asserting or enforcing, outside the Bankruptcy Court, any of the matters described in clauses 

(a) through (f) above. 

10.14 Document Retention. On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized 

Debtors may maintain documents in accordance with the Debtors’ standard document retention policy, 

as may be altered, amended, modified, or supplemented by the Reorganized Debtors. 

10.15 Solicitation of Plan. As of the Confirmation Date: (a) the Debtors shall be 

deemed to have solicited acceptances of the Plan in good faith and in compliance with the applicable 

provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 1125(a) and (e) of the Bankruptcy Code, and 

any applicable non-bankruptcy law, rule, or regulation governing the adequacy of disclosure in 

connection with such solicitation and (b) the Debtors and each of their respective directors, officers, 

employees, affiliates, agents, restructuring advisors, financial advisors, investment bankers, 

professionals, accountants, and attorneys shall be deemed to have participated in good faith and in 

compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code in the offer and issuance of any 

securities under the Plan, and therefore are not, and on account of such offer, issuance, and solicitation 

shall not be, liable at any time for any violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing 

the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or the offer and issuance of any securities under 

the Plan. 

ARTICLE XI. 

RETENTION OF JURISDICTION 

11.1 Jurisdiction of Bankruptcy Court. On and after the Effective Date, the 

Bankruptcy Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction of all matters arising under, arising out of, or

To the extent that the Bankruptcy Court is not permitted under applicable law to preside over 

any of the forgoing matters, the reference to the “Bankruptcy Court” in this Article XI shall be deemed 

to be replaced by the “District Court.” Nothing in this Article XI shall expand the exclusive 

jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court beyond that provided by applicable law. 

ARTICLE XII. 

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 

12.1 Dissolution of Statutory Committees. On the Effective Date, the Statutory 

Committees shall dissolve, the current and former members of the Statutory Committees, including 

any ex officio members, and their respective officers, employees, counsel, advisors and agents, shall 

be released and discharged of and from all further authority, duties, responsibilities and obligations

related to and arising from and in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, except for the limited purpose 

of prosecuting (i) requests for allowances of compensation and reimbursement of expenses incurred 

prior to the Effective Date or (ii) any appeals of the Confirmation Order. 

12.2 Substantial Consummation. On the Effective Date, the Plan shall be deemed 

to be substantially consummated under sections 1101 and 1127(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

12.3 Exemption from Transfer Taxes. Pursuant to section 1146(a) of the 

Bankruptcy Code, the issuance, transfer, or exchange of any Security or property hereunder or in 

connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the creation, filing, or recording of any 

mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest, the making, assignment, filing, or recording of any 

lease or sublease, or the making or delivery of any deed, bill of sale, or other instrument of transfer 

under, in furtherance of, or in connection with the Plan, or any agreements of consolidation, deeds, 

bills of sale, or assignments executed in connection with any of the transactions contemplated herein,

shall constitute a “transfer under a plan” within the purview of section 1146 of the Bankruptcy Code 

and shall not be subject to or taxed under any law imposing a stamp tax or similar tax, to the maximum

extent provided by section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. To the maximum extent provided by 

section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable nonbankruptcy law, the Restructuring 

Transactions shall not be taxed under any law imposing a stamp tax or similar tax.

12.4 Expedited Tax Determination. The Reorganized Debtors may request an

12.6 Plan Modifications and Amendments. The Plan may be amended, modified, 

or supplemented by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, in the manner provided for 

by section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code or as otherwise permitted by law without additional disclosure 

pursuant to section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code, except as the Bankruptcy Court may otherwise 

direct, so long as such action does not materially and adversely affect the treatment of holders of 

Claims or Interests hereunder. The Debtors may institute proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court to 

remedy any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistencies in the Plan or the Confirmation Order 

with respect to such matters as may be necessary to carry out the purposes and effects of the Plan and

any holder of a Claim or Interest that has accepted the Plan shall be deemed to have accepted the Plan

as so amended, modified, or supplemented. Prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors may make 

appropriate technical adjustments and modifications to the Plan without further order or approval of 

the Bankruptcy Court; provided, that such technical adjustments and modifications do not materially 

and adversely affect the treatment of holders of Claims or Interests. 

12.7 Revocation or Withdrawal of Plan. The Debtors may revoke, withdraw, or 

delay consideration of the Plan prior to the Confirmation Date, either entirely or with respect to one

or more of the Debtors, and to file subsequent amended plans of reorganization. If the Plan is revoked, 

withdrawn, or delayed with respect to fewer than all of the Debtors, such revocation, withdrawal, or 

delay shall not affect the enforceability of the Plan as it relates to the Debtors for which the Plan is not 

revoked, withdrawn, or delayed. If the Debtors revoke the Plan in its entirety, the Plan shall be deemed 

null and void. In such event, nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or release of any

Claim by or against the Debtors or any other Person or to prejudice in any manner the rights of the 

Debtors or any other Person in any further proceedings involving the Debtors. 

12.8 Courts of Competent Jurisdiction. If the Bankruptcy Court abstains from 

exercising, or declines to exercise, jurisdiction or is otherwise without jurisdiction over any matter

arising out of the Plan, such abstention, refusal, or failure of jurisdiction shall have no effect upon and 

shall not control, prohibit, or limit the exercise of jurisdiction by any other court having competent

jurisdiction with respect to such matter. 

12.9 Severability. If, prior to entry of the Confirmation Order, any term or provision 

of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy 

Court, in each case at the election and request of the Debtors may alter and interpret such term or 

provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the 

original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, and such term or

provision shall then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, 

alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan shall remain in full 

force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated by such holding, alteration, 

or interpretation. The Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination and provide that 

each term and provision hereof, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the 

foregoing, is (a) valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms; (b) integral to the Plan and may not be

deleted or modified except in accordance with the terms of the Plan; and (c) nonseverable and mutually

dependent.
