Bankruptcy Court.

the Debtors in the Allowed amount of such DIP Facility Claims and all commitments under the DIP

Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to 

provide the Disbursing Agent (if other than the Reorganized Debtors) with the amounts of Claims and 

the identities and addresses of holders of Claims, in each case, as set forth in the Debtors’ or 

Reorganized Debtors’ books and records. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, 

shall cooperate in good faith with the Disbursing Agent (if other than the Reorganized Debtors) to 

comply with the reporting and withholding requirements outlined in Section 5.15 of this Plan. Wildfire 

Claims subject to the Channeling Injunction shall not be administered by the Disbursing Agent and 

shall instead be administered by the Wildfire Trusts. 

5.7 Delivery of Distributions. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Wildfire Trust Agreements, or the 

Claims Resolution Procedures, the Disbursing Agent will make the applicable distribution under this 

Plan and, subject to Bankruptcy Rule 9010, will make all distributions to any holder of an Allowed 

Claim as and when required by this Plan at: (i) the address of such holder on the books and records 

of the Debtors or their agents, (ii) the address in the most recent proof of claim filed by such holder, 

or (iii) the address in any written notice of address change delivered to the Debtors or the Disbursing 

Agent, including any addresses included on any transfers of Claim filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 

3001. In the event that any distribution to any holder is returned as undeliverable, no distribution or 

payment to such holder shall be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent has been notified of the 

then current address of such holder, at which time or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable, such 

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

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. 

(a) The Disbursing Agent shall be empowered to: (i) effect all actions and execute 

all agreements, instruments, and other documents necessary to perform its duties under this Plan; 

(ii) make all applicable distributions or payments provided for under this Plan; (iii) employ 

professionals to represent it with respect to its responsibilities; and (iv) exercise such other powers 

(A) as may be vested in the Disbursing Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court (including any order 

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.

settlement of all Claims and Interests and controversies resolved pursuant to the Plan. The 

Confirmation Order shall constitute the Court’s approval of the compromise, settlement, and release

arrangement, continuance, or dissolution pursuant to applicable state or federal law, (iv) the execution 

and delivery of the Plan Documents, (v) the issuance of securities, all of which shall be authorized and 

approved in all respects in each case without further action being required under applicable law, 

regulation, order, or rule (except such filings, approvals and authorizations as may be required,

necessary or desirable for offerings of securities not exempt from the Securities Act pursuant to section 

1145 of the Bankruptcy Code), (vi) such other transactions that are necessary or appropriate to 

implement the Plan in the most tax efficient manner, and (vii) all other actions that the applicable 

Entities determine to be necessary or appropriate, including making filings or recordings that may be 

required by applicable law. 

(b) Each officer, or member of the board of directors, of the Debtors is (and each

agreements or documents and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, 

implement, and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan and the securities issued pursuant 

to the Plan in the name of and on behalf of the Reorganized Debtors, all of which shall be authorized 

and approved in all respects, in each case, without the need for any approvals, authorization, consents, 

or any further action required under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule (including any action by 

the stockholders or directors of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors) except for those expressly 

required pursuant to the Plan. 

(c) All matters provided for herein involving the corporate structure of the Debtors 

or Reorganized Debtors, or any corporate action required by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors in 

connection herewith shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be in effect, without any requirement

effect as though such action had been taken unanimously by the stockholders of the Debtors or 

Reorganized Debtors.

(including pursuant to the Restructuring Transactions), the Debtors shall continue to exist after the 

Effective Date as Reorganized Debtors in accordance with the applicable laws of the respective 

jurisdictions in which they are incorporated or organized. On or after the Effective Date, without

thereafter; or (iii) Reorganized HoldCo to amend its charter so as to prevent the acquisition, sale, or 

other transaction of any class or classes of stock of Reorganized HoldCo, other than pursuant to the 

Plan, for the purpose of preserving the tax benefits of the Reorganized Debtors if such acquisition, 

sale, or other transaction would result in an increase in the amount stock of Reorganized HoldCo 

beneficially owned (as determined for applicable tax purposes) by any person or group of persons that 

owns, or as a result of such acquisition, sale, or other transaction would own, at least 4.75% of any

(b) Each trust comprising the Subrogation Wildfire Trust is intended to be treated, 

and shall be reported, as a “qualified settlement fund” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and shall

be treated consistently for state and local tax purposes, to the extent applicable; provided, however,

Subrogation Wildfire Trust to the extent necessary to satisfy such tax liability (including any tax 

liability arising in connection with such sale). 

(c) Except as otherwise provided in the Subrogation Wildfire Trust Agreement, or

Subrogation Wildfire Trustee after the Effective Date, including any addresses included on any 

transfers of Claim filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001. In the event that any distribution to any 

holder is returned as undeliverable, no distribution or payment to such holder shall be made unless and 

until the Subrogation Wildfire Trustee has been notified of the then-current address of such holder, at 

which time or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, such distribution shall be made to such 

holder without interest. 

(d) The Subrogation Wildfire Trustee may request an expedited determination of 

taxes under section 505(b) of the Bankruptcy Code for all tax returns filed by or on behalf of the 

Subrogation Wildfire Trust through the termination of the Subrogation Wildfire Trust.

(a) Powers and Duties of Trustee. The powers and duties of the Subrogation 

Wildfire Trustee shall include, but shall not be limited to, those responsibilities vested in the

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.

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, the Claims Resolution 

Procedures, and the Wildfire Trust Agreements, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (or the 

Subrogation Wildfire Trustee solely with respect to Disputed Subrogation Wildfire Claims and the 

Fire Victim Trustee solely with respect to Disputed Fire Victim 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’, the Subrogation Wildfire Trustee’s or the Fire 

Victim 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 and the Fire Victim Trustee solely with respect to Disputed Fire Victim 

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 and the Fire Victim Trustee 

solely with respect to Disputed Fire Victim 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 and the Fire Victim Trustee 

solely with respect to Disputed Fire Victim 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 pursuant to section 502(c) of the 

Bankruptcy Code or otherwise be entitled to seek reconsideration of 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 Fire Victim Claims 

may only be compromised, settled, or resolved pursuant to terms of the applicable Wildfire Trust 

Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII.

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,

by payment of the default amount, as reflected in the applicable cure notice, in Cash on the Effective

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. 

(b) At least fourteen (14) days before the deadline set to file objections to 

confirmation of the Plan, the Debtors shall distribute, or cause to be distributed, assumption and cure 

notices to the applicable third parties. Any 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 before the deadline set to 

file objections to confirmation of the Plan. 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 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, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including 

all Claims arising under sections 503(b)(9) or 546(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, any defaults of 

provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition, or any other 

bankruptcy-related defaults. 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 Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, no later 

than thirty (30) days after the later of (i) 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

company agreements, memorandum and articles of association, or other organizational documents 

(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

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

8.8 Reservation of Rights. 

(a) The Debtors may amend the Schedule of Rejected Contracts and any cure notice 

until the later of (i) through 4:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the 

commencement of the Confirmation Hearing or (ii) if Section 8.2(d) is applicable, the Business Day 

seven (7) Business Days following the determination by the Bankruptcy Court, in order to add, delete, 

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

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

immediately prior to the adjourned date of the Confirmation Hearing, with such extension applying in 

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

expired lease. 

(d) Nothing in this Plan will increase, augment, or add to any of the duties, 

obligations, responsibilities, or liabilities of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, 

under any executory or non-executory contract or unexpired or expired lease.

Agreements. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, each executory contract or unexpired lease that

ARTICLE X. 

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. 

10.2 Vesting of Assets. Upon the Effective Date, pursuant to sections 1141(b) and 

(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 

otherwise provided herein. The Reorganized Debtors may operate their businesses and use, acquire, 

and dispose of property free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules and 

in all respects as if there were no pending cases under any chapter or provision of the Bankruptcy 

Code, except as otherwise provided herein. 

10.3 Release and Discharge of Debtors. Upon the Effective Date and in 

consideration of the distributions to be made hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, 

each holder (as well as any representatives, trustees, or agents on behalf of each holder) of a Claim or 

Interest and any affiliate of such holder shall be deemed to have forever waived, released, and 

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

Order, all injunctions or stays arising under or entered during the Chapter 11 Cases under section 105

or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise, and in existence on the Confirmation Date, shall remain 

in full force and effect until the later of the Effective Date and the date indicated in the order providing 

for such injunction or stay. The Trading Order shall remain enforceable as to transfers through the 

Effective Date with respect to those persons having “beneficial ownership” of “PG&E Stock” (as such 

terms are defined in Trading Order). Accordingly, the Trading Order has no applicability or effect 

with respect to the trading of stock of Reorganized HoldCo after the Effective Date. 

10.5 Injunction Against Interference with Plan. Upon entry of the Confirmation 

Order, all holders of Claims and Interests and other parties in interest, along with their respective 

present or former employees, agents, officers, directors, principals, and affiliates, shall be enjoined 

from taking any actions to interfere with the implementation or consummation of the Plan; provided,

interest from seeking to enforce the terms of the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or any other agreement

or instrument entered into or effectuated in connection with the consummation of the Plan.

10.6 Injunction. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Plan or in the Confirmation Order, as of 

the entry of the Confirmation Order but subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, all Persons 

who have held, hold, or may hold Claims or Interests are, with respect to any such Claim or Interest, 

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

Persons mentioned in this subsection (iii) or any property of any such transferee or successor; 

(iv) acting or proceeding in any manner, in any place whatsoever, that does not conform to or comply 

with the provisions of this Plan to the full extent permitted by applicable law; and (v) commencing or

continuing, in any manner or in any place, any action that does not comply with or is inconsistent with 

the provisions of this Plan; provided, that nothing contained herein shall preclude such Persons who 

have held, hold, or may hold Claims against a Debtor or an estate from exercising their rights, or 

obtaining benefits, pursuant to and consistent with the terms of this Plan, the Confirmation Order, or

any other agreement or instrument entered into or effectuated in connection with the consummation 

of the Plan; provided further that this Section 10.6 shall not apply to holders of Workers’ 

Compensation Claims or 2001 Utility Exchange Claims. 

(b) By accepting distributions pursuant to this Plan, each holder of an Allowed 

Claim will be deemed to have affirmatively and specifically consented to be bound by this Plan, 

including, the injunctions set forth in this Section. 

10.7 Channeling Injunction. 

(a) The sole source of recovery for holders of Subrogation Wildfire Claims and 

Fire Victim Claims shall be from the Subrogation Wildfire Trust and the Fire Victim Trust, as 

applicable. The holders of such Claims shall have no recourse to or Claims whatsoever against 

the Reorganized Debtors or their assets and properties. Consistent with the foregoing, all 

Persons that have held or asserted, or that hold or assert any Subrogation Wildfire Claim or 

Fire Victim Claim shall be permanently and forever stayed, restrained, and enjoined from

(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 

injunction against conduct not otherwise enjoined under the Bankruptcy Code. 

10.8 Exculpation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and to the 

maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and except for the Assigned Rights and Causes of 

Action solely to the extent preserved by Section 10.9(g), no Exculpated Party shall have or incur, 

and each Exculpated Party is hereby released and exculpated from, any Claim, Interest, 

obligation, suit, judgment, damage, demand, debt, right, Cause of Action, loss, remedy, or 

liability for any claim (including, but not limited to, any claim for breach of any fiduciary duty

Commitment Letters, the Subrogation Claims RSA, the Tort Claimants RSA, the Exit Financing 

Documents, the Plan Funding, the DIP Facilities, the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the

Plan; the funding of this Plan; the occurrence of the Effective Date; the administration of this 

Plan or the property to be distributed under this Plan; any membership in (including, but not 

limited to, on an ex officio basis), participation in, or involvement with the Statutory 

Committees; the issuance of Securities under or in connection with this Plan; or the transactions 

in furtherance of any of the foregoing; except for Claims related to any act or omission that is 

determined in a Final Order by a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted actual 

fraud or willful misconduct, but in all respects such Entities shall be entitled to reasonably rely 

upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities pursuant to this Plan. 

The Exculpated Parties and each of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers, 

employees, advisors, and attorneys have acted in compliance with the applicable provisions of 

the Bankruptcy Code with regard to the solicitation and distributions pursuant to this Plan and, 

therefore, are not, and on account of such distributions shall not be, liable at any time for the 

violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or 

rejections of this Plan or such distributions made pursuant to this Plan, including the issuance 

of Securities thereunder. This exculpation shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, all 

other releases, indemnities, exculpations, and any other applicable law or rules protecting such 

Exculpated Parties from liability.

Effective Date to enforce the Plan and the Plan Documents, and except for the Assigned Rights 

and Causes of Action solely to the extent preserved by Section 10.9(g), for good and valuable 

consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, including, the service of the Released 

Parties to facilitate the reorganization of the Debtors and the implementation of the

remedies, and liabilities whatsoever, including any derivative claims, asserted or assertable on

relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Debtors, the Fires, the 

Chapter 11 Cases, the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any Security of the 

Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving

Plan Support Agreements, the Backstop Commitment Letters, the Subrogation Claims RSA, the 

Tort Claimants RSA, and the Exit Financing Documents), the solicitation of votes with respect 

to the Plan, any membership in (including, but not limited to, on an ex officio basis), 

participation in, or involvement with the Statutory Committees, or any other act or omission, 

transaction, agreement, event, or other occurrence, and in all respects such Entities shall be 

entitled to reasonably rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and 

responsibilities pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding the above, the holders of Workers’ 

Compensation Claims and 2001 Utility Exchange Claims retain the right to assert such Claims 

against the Reorganized Debtors in accordance with the terms of the Plan; and nothing herein 

shall be deemed to impose a release by holders of Fire Victim Claims of insurance claims arising 

under their insurance policies against holders of Subrogation Wildfire Claims, other than any 

rights such holder may elect to release as part of any settlement as set forth in Section 4.18(f)(ii) 

hereof. 

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

4.18(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 

Plan, including the Exit Financing Documents, on the Effective Date and concurrently with the 

applicable distributions made pursuant to the Plan and, in the case of a Secured Claim, 

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 any 

general release contained in 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, and solely with respect to any general release under this 

Plan, 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. For the avoidance of doubt, this injunction shall not apply to the 

rights of the Fire Victims Trust to prosecute and settle any Assigned Rights and Causes of Action 

solely to the extent provided for in the Plan. Notwithstanding the above, the holders of Workers’ 

Compensation Claims and 2001 Utility Exchange Claims retain the right to assert such Claims against 

the Reorganized Debtors in accordance with the terms of the Plan. 

(g) No Release or Exculpation of Assigned Rights and Causes of Action. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, including anything in Section 10.8 and/or 10.9, the 

releases, discharges, and exculpations contained in this Plan shall not release, discharge, or exculpate 

any Person from the Assigned Rights and Causes of Action. 

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 Action 

against them as any indication that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors will not 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 and Cooperation with the Fire Victim Trust. 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. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall respond to reasonable 

requests of the Fire Victim Trust for any non-privileged information and documents related to the 

Assigned Claims and Causes of Action and the Fire Victim Claims or as reasonably necessary for the 

administration of the Fire Victim Trust. 

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.

1142 of the Bankruptcy Code and for, among other things, the following purposes:

12.7 Revocation or Withdrawal of Plan. The Plan Proponents 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 Plan Proponents 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. 

12.10 Governing Law. Except to the extent the Bankruptcy Code or other U.S. 

federal law is applicable, or to the extent a schedule hereto, or a schedule in the Plan Supplement 

expressly provides otherwise, the rights, duties, and obligations arising hereunder shall be governed 

by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without giving

effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof to the extent they would result in the application of 

the laws of any other jurisdiction. 

12.11 Schedules and Exhibits. The schedules and exhibits to the Plan and the Plan 

Supplement are incorporated into, and are part of, the Plan as if set forth herein. 

12.12 Successors and Assigns. All the rights, benefits, and obligations of any Person 

named or referred to herein shall be binding on, and inure to the benefit of, the heirs, executors, 

administrators, successors, and/or assigns of such Person.

Exhibit B 

MUTUAL MADE WHOLE RELEASE 

The terms “Claimant” and “Insurer,” are defined in Paragraph G. below. 

______, Trustee of the Fire Victim Trust, the undersigned party or personal representative 

(referred to herein as “Claimant”), individually and on behalf of the estate of the Claimant, and the 

Insurer (collectively, the “Parties” or “Releasees”) agree as follows: 

A. Whereas, the Debtors’ and Shareholder Proponents’ Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization 

dated ______________ (the “Plan”), was confirmed by an order of the United States 

Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California entered on ______________, 2020, 

and the Plan became effective on _________, 2020. 

B. Whereas the Plan provides for the treatment of all allowed Fire Victim Claims (as defined in 

the Plan) against the Debtors through the Fire Victim Trust (as defined in the Plan) and for the 

discharge of the Debtors from any further or other liability on account of all Fire Victim 

Claims. 

C. Whereas the Plan provides for the treatment of all allowed Subrogation Wildfire Claims (as 

defined in the Plan) against the Debtors through the Subrogation Wildfire Trust (as defined 

in the Plan) and for the discharge of the Debtors from any further or other liability on account 

of all Subrogation Wildfire Claims. 

D. Whereas, the Plan provides that the Fire Victim Claims are administered by a Fire Victim Trust 

and a Fire Victim Trustee who operates independent from the Debtors, holders of the Fire 

Subrogation Claims, and the Insurer. Neither the Debtors, holders of the Fire Subrogation 

Claims, nor the Insurer shall have any right to participate in the administration of the Fire 

Victim Trust, review any allocation or distribution decision of the Trustee or Trust Oversight 

Committee, including that of the Claimant, or make any claim for money against the Trust or 

the Trustee in any way or at any time. 

E. Whereas, the Trustee and Fire Victim Trust Oversight Committee have reviewed and advised 

the Claimant of (a) the total amount paid into the Fire Victim Trust available for compensation 

to the Fire Victims, (b) the total number of claims made against the Fire Victim Trust, (c) the 

process by which trust funds will be allocated and distributed, and (d) the total allocated 

amount from the Fire Victim Trust to the Claimant (“Total Allocation Award”). 

F. Whereas, the Claimant has reviewed the Total Allocation Award. 

Case: 19-30088 Doc# 5101 Filed: 12/12/19 Entered: 12/12/19 17:48:52 Page 91

 of 95
G. Whereas, the Plan provides the Claimant and the Insurer execute a mutual limited release after 

the Claimant has reviewed the Total Allocation Award wherein the Claimant agrees to release 

only their claim against the Insurer under the Made Whole Doctrine (see Paragraph 1) and no 

other claim, cause of action, defense or remedy against the Insurer, and the Insurer agrees to 

release the Claimant as described herein in Paragraph 3. For the purpose of this Release, 

“Claimant” includes the Claimant’s heirs, legal representatives, successor or assigns and 

“Insurer” includes the Claimants’ insurance carriers, their past and present holders of insurance 

subrogation claims against the Debtors (and their direct and indirect assignors or assignees), 

and each of their directors, officers, agents, consultants, financial advisers, employees, 

attorneys, predecessors, successors and assigns. 

H. Whereas, nothing in this Release is an affirmation, representation, or an acknowledgment that 

the Claimant has in fact been fully compensated for their damages covered by the contract of 

insurance between the Insurer and the Claimant. The parties agree that Court’s approval of the 

Plan and the Claimants’ acceptance of the Total Allocation Award does not establish that the 

Claimant has been fully compensated under California law for their compensable damages as 

a result of the fire to the extent those damages are covered by insurance. 

I. Whereas, the Insurer has agreed to the terms, provisions, and agreements of this Mutual 

Release in a separate agreement dated _______, 20__, affirming, adopting, and attaching a 

copy of this Mutual Release (“Insurer Adoption Agreement”). This Mutual Release is 

conditioned upon the Insurer, or the Insurer’s successor on behalf of the Insurer, filing in the 

Chapter 11 case the Insurer Adoption Agreement, which states the Insurer releases, as to the 

Made Whole Doctrine only, each Claimant who signs and agrees to the terms of this Mutual 

Release. The terms, provisions, and agreements of the Insurer Adoption Agreement are 

incorporated herein by reference. Insurer’s consent and agreement to the terms, provisions, 

and agreements of this Mutual Release shall be effective upon the signature of the Claimant. 

J. Whereas, this release is not required for the Trustee to allocate and distribute preliminary 

awards to individuals on a case by case basis for humanitarian or urgent needs. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for the agreements described in this Release and other 

good and valuable consideration, the Claimant and the Insurer agree as follows: 

1. By accepting the Total Allocation Award, the Claimant hereby waives and releases 

their rights, known or unknown, to assert the Made Whole Doctrine against the Insurer. Claimant is 

not waiving or releasing any other claim, cause of action, defense, or remedy against Insurer. Also, 

by signing this agreement, the Claimant is not agreeing as a factual matter that the Claimant has been

fully compensated for each and every category of their damages under California law. 

Case: 19-30088 Doc# 5101 Filed: 12/12/19 Entered: 12/12/19 17:48:52 Page 92

 of 95
2. The Claimant is not releasing any claims the Claimant may have against the Insurer 

other than the Claimant’s foregoing waiver set forth in Paragraph 1. The Parties to this Release further 

agree and acknowledge that the Claimant is not releasing any claims, except and only to the extent set

forth above, they might have against the Insurer, including but not limited to those claims or causes of 

action related to: (1) the policy of insurance and what is still owed or to be paid under the policy terms 

and conditions; (2) the right to pursue claims already made or to make new or continued claims under 

the policy; (3) claims handling issues; (4) delay in paying claims under the policy; (5) inadequate or

untimely communication relating to the claim; (6) unreasonable positions taken relating to coverage, 

payment of the claim, acknowledging coverage, or day-to-day claims decisions; (7) actions or 

inactions of insurance agents or brokers in underwriting, securing, adjusting, calculating or 

recommending coverage; (8) coverage issues over policy language; (9) any action for bad faith or 

breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (10) any claims to reform or modify the terms 

of any policy; (12) any rights to recover damages for breach of contract or tort (including punitive 

damages), penalties or equitable relief; (13) any claims of violations of statutory or regulatory 

obligations; or (14) any claim for unfair business acts or practices.

3. The Insurer agrees to release and waive any right to make claim for any amount paid 

to the Claimant pursuant to the Fire Victim Trust or to assert as a defense, offset or reduction, the 

money paid to the Claimant from the Fire Victim Trust, which belongs solely to the Claimant. The 

Claimant agrees to make no claim on the money paid to the Insurer from the Subrogation Wildfire 

Trust. In agreeing to this limited release, Insurer is not releasing any claim, cause of action, defense, 

or remedy it may have against the Claimant other than Claimant’s foregoing release of any Made 

Whole Doctrine claim.

4. The Insurer is not releasing any claims the Insurer may have against Claimant other 

than the Insurer’s foregoing waiver set forth in Paragraph 3. The Parties to this Release further agree 

and acknowledge that the Insurer is not releasing any claims, except and only to the extent set forth 

above, it might have against the Claimant, including but not limited to those claims related to: (1) the 

policy of insurance and what is still owed or to be paid under the policy terms and conditions; (2) 

defenses to garden variety claims handling issues unrelated to the Made Whole Doctrine; (3) defenses 

related to delay in paying claims under the policy; (4) defenses to alleged inadequate or untimely 

communication relating to the claim; (5) defenses to alleged unreasonable positions taken relating to 

coverage, payment of the claim, acknowledging coverage, or day-to-day claims decisions; (6) 

defenses to actions or inactions of insurance agents or brokers in securing coverage; (7) coverage 

issues over policy language unrelated to Made Whole Doctrine; or (8) defenses to any common law 

action for bad faith unrelated to Made Whole Doctrine.

5. The Insurer further agrees that the Total Allocation Award shall not be the subject of 

discovery or mentioned in any pleadings in any state or federal court action or admissible in evidence

in any state or federal court action for any of the causes of action or claims for relief identified in

6. To the extent that the Claimant brings a claim for breach of contract, wrongful denial 

of coverage and/or bad faith against the Insurer, the Insurer shall not assert in any way or at any time 

that the Claimant should have or could have pursued that claim against the Debtors, the Fire Victim 

Trust, or any other party. The Insurer agrees that that it will not assert in any action or proceeding 

covered under Paragraph 2 or 4 that the Claimant has been compensated as a result of the Claimant’s 

settlement with the Debtors. 

7. Both the Claimant and the Insurer agree that this Release gives the parties released the 

status of third-party beneficiary of the Release, and such Releasees may enforce this Release and any 

rights or remedies set forth herein. 

8. This Release contains the entire agreement between the parties as to the subject matter 

hereof and is effective immediately upon signing. Likewise the release in Paragraph 1 is effective 

immediately upon signing. If there is a conflict between this Release and any other prior or 

contemporaneous agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter of the Release, the 

Release controls.

9. The law of the State of California shall govern the interpretation of this Release. The 

Bankruptcy Court has jurisdiction to resolve any disputes under this agreement.

10. Each Releasor states that he, she, or it is of legal age, with no mental disability of any 

kind, is fully and completely competent, and is duly authorized to execute this Release on Releasor’s 

own behalf. Releasor further states that this Release has been explained to Releasor and that Releasor 

knows the contents as well as the effect thereof. Releasor further acknowledges that Releasor executed 

this Release after consulting with Releasor’s attorney or the opportunity to consult with an attorney.

11. For avoidance of doubt, the Made Whole Doctrine is described herein. Subrogation is 

a doctrine that permits an insurance company, or its assignees, to assert the rights and remedies of an 

insured against a third party tortfeasor. The Made Whole Doctrine is a common law exception to 

insurer's right of subrogation. The Made Whole Doctrine, under certain circumstances, could preclude 

an insurer from recovering any third-party funds unless and until the insured has been made whole for 

the loss. Both the Claimant and Insurer agree that this Release does not modify, abrogate or affect 

any prior release or waiver between the Parties arising from the Fire. 

12. Consistent with the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed by claimant that 

claimant is waiving and releasing all known or unknown claims under the Made Whole Doctrine. It is 

expressly understood and agreed by insurer that insurer is waiving and releasing all known or unknown 

claims under the Made Whole Doctrine as to claimant.
