(ii) After Distributions Become Deliverable. The Disbursing Agent shall make all distributions that have become deliverable or have been claimed since the Initial Distribution Date as soon as practicable after such distribution has become deliverable or has been claimed.

 

-66-


(iii) Failure to Claim Undeliverable or Unnegotiated Distributions. Any Holder of an Allowed Claim (or any successor or assignee or other Person claiming by, through, or on behalf of, such Holder) that does not assert a claim pursuant to this Plan for an undeliverable or unclaimed distribution within six (6) months after the later of the Effective Date or the date such distribution was made shall be deemed to have forfeited its Claim for such undeliverable or unclaimed distribution and shall be forever barred and enjoined from asserting any such Claim for an undeliverable or unclaimed distribution against the Debtors or their Estates, the Reorganized Debtors or their property. In such cases, (a) any Cash for distribution on account of such Claims for undeliverable or unclaimed distributions shall become the property of the Reorganized Debtors free of any restrictions thereon and notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws or other applicable local laws to the contrary and (b) any New Securities and Documents held for distribution on account of such Claim shall be converted into equity (if applicable) and sold by Reorganized LATAM Parent in a manner consistent with applicable law and the applicable Reorganized Debtor’s governing documents, and the proceeds of such sale shall become the property of the Reorganized Debtors free of any restrictions thereon. Nothing contained in this Plan shall require the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Disbursing Agent to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim.

(iv) Non-Complying Holders. Any Non-Complying Holder that fails to cure its non-compliance with the applicable New Plan Notes Offering Procedures within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date shall be deemed to have forfeited its Claim for distributions on account of its General Unsecured Claim against LATAM Parent and shall be forever barred and enjoined from asserting any such Claim for distributions against the Debtors or their Estates, the Reorganized Debtors or their property. In such cases, (a) any Cash for distribution on account of such General Unsecured Claim against LATAM Parent shall become the property of the Reorganized Debtors free of any restrictions thereon and notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws or other applicable local laws to the contrary and (b) any New Securities and Documents held for distribution on account of such General Unsecured Claim against LATAM Parent shall be converted into equity (if applicable) and sold by Reorganized LATAM Parent in a manner consistent with Reorganized LATAM Parent’s governing documents, and the proceeds of such sale shall become the property of the Reorganized Debtors free of any restrictions thereon.

(v) No Effect on Cash Distributions. Any Holder of an Allowed Claim (or any successor or assignee or other Person claiming by, through, or on behalf of, such Holder) entitled to receive both a distribution of Cash and a distribution of Plan Securities may receive such Cash distribution even if its distribution of Plan Securities has not yet occurred, is returned to the Disbursing Agent as undeliverable, or is otherwise unclaimed.

7.4 Distribution Record Date

On the Distribution Record Date, the Claims Register shall be closed and the Disbursing Agent shall be authorized and entitled to recognize only those Holders listed on the Claims Register as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. For the avoidance of doubt, distributions on account of the LATAM 2024 Bond Claims and the LATAM 2026 Bond Claims shall be made to the LATAM 2024/2026 Bond Trustees and distributions on account of the Local Bonds shall be made to the Local Bond Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Claim is transferred less than five (5) days before the Distribution Record Date, the Disbursing Agent shall make distributions to the transferee only to the extent practical and in any event only if the relevant transfer form contains an unconditional and explicit certification and waiver of any objection to the transfer by the transferor.

7.5 Cash Payments

At the Debtors’ discretion, payments made pursuant to this Plan shall be made by the Disbursing Agent in Cash and by (i) checks drawn on the Disbursing Agent, (ii) wire transfer from a bank selected by the Disbursing Agent or (iii) any other customary payment method. Any Cash distributions required under this Plan to foreign Creditors may be made, at the option of the Disbursing Agent, by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction. Any check issued by the Disbursing Agent shall be null and void if not negotiated within ninety (90) days. Any Cash distributions required under this Plan in respect of Allowed RCF Claims, Allowed Spare Engine Facility Claims, and Allowed Local Bond Claims shall be paid by the Disbursing Agent to the RCF Administrative Agent, Spare Engine Facility Agent, or Local Bond Trustee (as applicable) by federal funds wire transfer on the Initial Distribution Date.

7.6 Limitation on Recovery

No Holder of an Allowed Claim shall receive in respect of such Claim any distribution in excess of the Allowed amount of such Claim including distributions from more than one Debtor due to guarantees, undertakings, or joint and several obligations. In the event that the sum of distributions from several Debtors’ Estates with respect to an Allowed Claim would be in excess of one hundred percent (100%) of the applicable Holder’s Allowed Claim, then the proceeds remaining to be distributed to such Holder in excess of such one hundred percent (100%) shall be redistributed to other Holders of Allowed Claims against such Debtor or Debtors, or shall revest in the Reorganized Debtors, in accordance with the provisions of this Plan and the Bankruptcy Code. Further, to the extent that an Allowed Claim arises in whole or in part out of a guarantee or other form of co-liability between multiple Debtors and any other Allowed Claim asserted in respect of such co-liability is Unimpaired, so long as the aggregate disbursement on account of such Allowed Claims results in the Holder(s) recovering the full value to which they are entitled on account of such Unimpaired Allowed Claim(s), the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors shall retain the discretion to determine how to allocate such aggregate recovery across such multiple Allowed Claims, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the extent of such Holder(s)’ eligibility to participate in the New Plan Notes Offering.

7.7 Withholding and Reporting Requirements

In connection with this Plan and all distributions hereunder, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.7, the Reorganized Debtors shall comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any Chilean and/or other applicable taxing authority or statute with respect to any distributions hereunder. If it is determined by the Reorganized Debtors in their reasonable discretion that the Reorganized Debtors are required under applicable

 

-68-


law to withhold or deduct any tax with respect to distributions hereunder, (A) the Reorganized Debtors shall provide a written notice to the Holders of Claims as soon as reasonably practicable after such determination was made (setting forth in reasonable detail the potential basis for such determination) and the parties shall explore in good faith commercially reasonable measures, including the provision of information reasonably requested that would eliminate or reduce such withholding or deduction of tax (provided that the failure to execute any instrument by, provide or disclose any information pertaining to or engage in other action or participation by or pertaining to, the beneficial owners of the Holders of Claims shall not be deemed to be a failure to explore in good faith such commercially reasonable measures) to eliminate or reduce such withholding or deduction of such tax, (B) to the extent that such commercially reasonable measures do not result in the elimination of such tax, the Reorganized Debtors shall withhold and/or deduct such tax, and shall timely pay the full amount of tax deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Unit in accordance with applicable law and deliver evidence in a reasonably satisfactory form for the payment thereof to the applicable Holders of Claims. Any amount of tax deducted or withheld in compliance with provisions of this Section 7.7 from any distribution to a Holder of Claim by the Reorganized Debtors and timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Unit, shall be treated as if distributed to such Holder of Claim in connection with this Plan. At the reasonable discretion of the Reorganized Debtors, no distribution shall be made to or on behalf of such Holder of Claim pursuant to this Plan unless and until such Holder of Claim has made arrangements satisfactory to the Reorganized Debtors for the payment and satisfaction of such tax obligations, and any Cash, New Securities and Documents and/or other consideration or property to be distributed pursuant to this Plan shall, pending the implementation of arrangements pursuant to the previous clause, be treated as an unclaimed distribution pursuant to Section 7.3(b) of this Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) each Holder of an Allowed Claim shall be liable for any tax obligations imposed on such Holder by any Governmental Unit on account of any distribution hereunder to such Holder, other than Transaction Taxes (as defined in the Backstop Agreements) which shall be borne by the Reorganized Debtors, (y) notwithstanding clause (x), the Reorganized Debtors shall indemnify Holders for Chilean taxes (other than Excluded Taxes (as defined in the Backstop Agreements)), if any, to the extent as described in the Backstop Agreements.

7.8 Setoffs

The Reorganized Debtors may, pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable non-bankruptcy law, but shall not be required to, set off against any payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to this Plan in respect of an Allowed Claim, claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may have against the Holder of such Claim, to the extent that such Claim against such Holder has not otherwise been compromised or settled on or prior to the Effective Date in a manner that limits setoff rights (whether pursuant to this Plan or otherwise); provided, however, that neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Reorganized Debtors of any claim that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may have against such Holder.

 

-69-


7.9 Allocation of Plan Distributions Between Principal and Interest

To the extent that any Allowed Claim entitled to a distribution under this Plan is based upon any obligations or instrument that is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as indebtedness of any Debtor and other amounts (such as accrued but unpaid interest or deemed interest thereon), such distribution shall be allocated first to the principal amount of the Claim (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claim, to such other amounts; provided, however, that this Section 7.9 shall not apply to distributions made to the IRS.

7.10 No Fractional Plan Securities

There shall be no distribution of fractional Plan Securities. Where a fractional Plan Security would otherwise be called for, the actual allocation shall reflect a rounding down (to the nearest whole dollar) of such fraction.

7.11 Compliance with Hart-Scott-Rodino and Similar Requirements

Any Plan Securities of Reorganized LATAM Parent Stock to be distributed under this Plan to any Entity required to file a Premerger Notification and Report Form under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, or to meet any similar requirements under applicable non-U.S. law, shall not be distributed until the notification and waiting periods applicable under such law to such Entity shall have expired or been terminated.

ARTICLE VIII

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

8.1 Contracts and Leases Entered into after the Petition Date

Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor will be performed by the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as the case may be, liable thereunder in the ordinary course of its business or as authorized by the Bankruptcy Court. Accordingly, such contracts and leases (including any assumed executory contracts and unexpired leases) will survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order, and, on the Effective Date, shall revest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as such terms may have been modified by order of the Bankruptcy Court.

8.2 Assumption, Rejection and Assignment of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

(a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, on the Effective Date, all executory contracts and unexpired leases of the Debtors will be deemed automatically rejected in accordance with and subject to the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code without the need for any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, unless such executory contracts and unexpired leases are (i) identified on Exhibit D to this Plan as Assumed Contracts or Exhibit E to this Plan as Assigned Contracts and not removed from such exhibit prior to the Effective Date, (ii) previously assumed by order of the Bankruptcy Court, or (iii) the subject of a motion to assume filed with the Bankruptcy Court on or before the Effective Date; provided, that the Debtors reserve the right to seek, following entry of the Confirmation Order, assumption of an executory contract or unexpired lease that was deemed rejected. The amendment of an executory contract or unexpired lease after the Petition Date shall not, by itself, constitute the assumption of such executory contract or unexpired lease. For the avoidance of doubt, an executory contract or unexpired lease may be deemed automatically rejected even if not specifically listed on Exhibit C to this Plan.

 

-70-


(b) With respect to Aircraft Leases that were not previously assumed, had not previously expired or terminated pursuant to their terms, or are not subject to a motion to assume or assume and assign filed on or before the date the Confirmation Order is entered, the Debtors shall assume only those Aircraft Leases and related executory contracts that are designated specifically as an unexpired lease or executory contract on Exhibit D to this Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, any executory contracts or unexpired leases that are ancillary to Aircraft Leases that have been previously assumed or are being assumed under this Plan shall be deemed assumed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent certain of the Aircraft Leases identified on Exhibit D include finance leases of the Debtors that were amended during the course of these Chapter 11 Cases, the debt associated with such lease shall be provided the treatment agreed between the applicable Debtor(s) and the lease counterparties and lenders in the applicable governing amendment documents.

(c) The assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases hereunder may include the assignment of certain of such contracts to Affiliates. Each Assigned Contract shall be listed on Exhibit E to this Plan, along with the proposed counterparty to such Assigned Contract.

(d) Each Rejected Contract shall be rejected only to the extent that it constitutes an executory contract or unexpired lease.

(e) Without amending or altering any prior order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the assumption, assignment or rejection of any executory contracts and unexpired leases, entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute approval of the assumptions, assignments and rejections as applicable, provided herein, pursuant to sections 365(a), 365(f) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent any provision in any executory contracts and unexpired leases assumed or assigned pursuant to this Plan (including any “change of control” provision) conditions, restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, the applicable assumption or assignment of such executory contract or unexpired lease, or that terminates or modifies such executory contract or unexpired lease or allows the counterparty to such executory contract or lease to terminate, modify, recapture, impose any penalty, condition renewal or extension, or modify any term or condition upon any such assumption or assignment, then such provision shall be deemed void and of no force or effect such that the transactions contemplated by this Plan shall not entitle the non-debtor party thereto to terminate or modify such executory contract or unexpired lease or to exercise any other default-related rights with respect thereto. Confirmation of this Plan and consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby shall not constitute a change of control under any executory contract or unexpired lease assumed by the Debtors on or prior to the Effective Date.

 

-71-


8.3 Insurance Policies and Indemnification Obligations

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the other Restructuring Documents, each of the Insurance Contracts of the Debtors, including all D&O Policies, are deemed to be and treated as executory contracts under this Plan. Unless listed on Exhibit C to this Plan, on the Effective Date, the Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all Insurance Contracts, including all D&O Policies, pursuant to sections 105 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code such that the Reorganized Debtors shall become and remain liable in full for all of their and the Debtors’ obligations thereunder, regardless of whether such obligations arise before or after the Effective Date and without the need for Insurers to file or serve a Proof of Claim or Administrative Expense Claim, provided, that the Reorganized Debtors shall not indemnify officers, directors, equity holders, agents, or employees, as applicable, of the Debtors for any claims or Causes of Action arising out of or relating to any act or omission that is a criminal act or constitutes intentional fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the other Restructuring Documents, (a) nothing in this Plan or the other Restructuring Documents alters, modifies or otherwise amends the terms and conditions of the Insurance Contracts, and any rights and obligations thereunder shall be determined under the Insurance Contracts and applicable non-bankruptcy law as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not occurred, (b) nothing (including Sections 8.2(c) and 8.11(b) of this Plan) shall permit or otherwise effect a sale, assignment or any other transfer of any Insurance Contracts and/or any rights, proceeds, benefits, claims, rights to payments, or recoveries under or relating thereto without the prior express written consent of the applicable Insurer, and (c) the injunctions set forth in Article XI hereof, if and to the extent applicable, shall be deemed lifted without further order of this Bankruptcy Court, solely to permit: (i) claimants with valid workers’ compensation claims or direct action claims against Insurers under applicable non-bankruptcy law to proceed with their claims; (ii) Insurers to administer, handle, defend, settle, and/or pay, in the ordinary course of business and without further order of this Bankruptcy Court, (A) workers’ compensation claims, (B) claims where a claimant asserts a direct claim against Insurers under applicable non-bankruptcy law, or an order has been entered by this Bankruptcy Court granting a claimant relief from the automatic stay or the injunctions set forth in Article XI hereof to proceed with its claim, and (C) all costs in relation to each of the foregoing; and (iii) subject to the terms of the Insurance Contracts and/or applicable non-bankruptcy law, Insurers to (A) cancel any Insurance Contracts, and (B) take other actions relating to the Insurance Contracts (including setting off amounts due by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors against any amounts due to the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors or against (or otherwise applying) any collateral or security provided by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, regardless of when any such amounts arise, become due or when any such collateral or security is provided).

In addition, after the Effective Date, all current and former officers, directors, agents, or employees who served in such capacity at any time before the Effective Date shall be entitled to the full benefits of any D&O Policy (including any “tail” policy) for the full term of such policy regardless of whether such officers, directors, agents, and/or employees remain in such positions after the Effective Date, in each case, to the extent set forth in such D&O Policies. In addition, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall not terminate or otherwise reduce the coverage under any D&O Policy (including any “tail” policy) in effect as of or subsequent to the Petition Date; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any Insurance Contract, including tail insurance policies, for directors’, members’, trustees’, and officers’ liability to be purchased or maintained by the Reorganized Debtors after the Effective Date shall be subject to the ordinary-course corporate governance of the Reorganized Debtors.

 

-72-


Notwithstanding anything in this Plan, any Indemnification Obligation to indemnify current and former officers, directors, members, managers, agents, sponsors, or employees with respect to all present and future actions, suits, and proceedings against the Debtors or such officers, directors, members, managers, agents, or employees based upon any act or omission for or on behalf of the Debtors shall (i) remain in full force and effect, (ii) not be discharged, impaired, or otherwise affected in any way, including by this Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Confirmation Order, (iii) not be limited, reduced or terminated after the Effective Date, and (iv) survive unimpaired and unaffected irrespective of whether such Indemnification Obligation is owed for an act or event occurring before, on or after the Petition Date; provided, that the Reorganized Debtors shall not indemnify officers, directors, members, or managers, as applicable, of the Debtors for any claims or Causes of Action that are not indemnified by such Indemnification Obligation. All such obligations shall be deemed and treated as executory contracts to be assumed by the Debtors under this Plan and shall continue as obligations of the Reorganized Debtors, and, if necessary to effectuate such assumption under local law, Reorganized LATAM Parent shall contractually assume such obligations. Any claim based on the Debtors’ obligations under this Plan 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.

8.4 Intellectual Property Licenses and Agreements

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Plan Supplement, all intellectual property contracts, licenses, royalties, or other similar agreements to which the Debtors have any rights or obligations in effect as of the date of the Confirmation Order shall be deemed and treated as executory contracts pursuant to this Plan and shall be assumed by the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and shall continue in full force and effect unless any such intellectual property contract, license, royalty, or other similar agreement otherwise is listed on Exhibit C to this Plan, specifically rejected pursuant to a separate order of the Bankruptcy Court or is the subject of a separate rejection motion filed by the Debtors. Unless otherwise noted hereunder, all other intellectual property contracts, licenses, royalties, or other similar agreements shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors may take all actions as may be necessary or appropriate to ensure such vesting as contemplated herein.

8.5 Compensation and Benefit Programs; Other Employee Obligations

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Plan Supplement, all employment, confidentiality, and non-competition agreements (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any agreements with third-party personnel vendors or any agreements with independent contractors), collective bargaining agreements, offer letters (including any severance set forth therein), bonus, gainshare and incentive programs, vacation, holiday pay, paid-time off, leaves, severance, retirement, supplemental retirement, indemnity, executive retirement, pension, deferred compensation, medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, flexible spending account, and other health and welfare benefit plans, programs, agreements and arrangements, and all other wage, compensation, employee expense reimbursement, unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation, and all other benefit obligations (including, for the avoidance of doubt, letter agreements with respect to certain employees’ rights and obligations in the event of certain terminations of their employment in connection with and following the implementation of the Restructuring Transactions) (collectively, the “Compensation and Benefits Plans”) are deemed to

 

-73-


be, and will be treated as, Executory Contracts under this Plan and, on the Effective Date, will be deemed assumed pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code (in each case, as amended prior to or on the Effective Date) unless any such Compensation and Benefit Plan is listed on Exhibit C to this Plan, specifically rejected pursuant to a separate order of the Bankruptcy Court or is the subject of a separate rejection motion filed by the Debtors; provided, that no employee equity or equity-based incentive plans, or any provisions set forth in any Compensation and Benefits Plans that provide for rights to acquire equity interests in any of the Debtors will be assumed, or deemed assumed, by the Reorganized Debtors.

8.6 Intercompany Agreements

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Plan Supplement, all contracts, unexpired leases and other agreements solely between a Debtor and (i) any other Debtor or (ii) any subsidiary or Affiliate of a Debtor (each, an “Intercompany Agreement” and collectively, the “Intercompany Agreements”) are deemed to be, and will be treated as, Executory Contracts under this Plan and, on the Effective Date, will be deemed assumed pursuant to sections 365 and 1223 of the Bankruptcy Code (in each case, as amended prior to or on the Effective Date) unless any such Intercompany Agreement is listed on Exhibit C to this Plan, specifically rejected pursuant to a separate order of the Bankruptcy Court or is the subject of a separate rejection motion filed by the Debtors.

8.7 Critical Airline Agreements

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Plan Supplement, all agreements with or administered by the International Air Transport Association or its subsidiaries (excluding any bilateral agreements to which International Air Transport Association and/or its subsidiaries are not a signatory) and any bilateral interline agreements with other airlines (including interline agreements related to the Debtors’ cargo business) along with all related clearinghouse agreements are deemed to be, and will be treated as, Executory Contracts under this Plan and, on the Effective Date, will be deemed assumed pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code (in each case, as amended prior to or on the Effective Date) unless any such agreement or contract is listed on Exhibit C to this Plan, specifically rejected pursuant to a separate order of the Bankruptcy Court or is the subject of a separate rejection motion filed by the Debtors. Furthermore, all reciprocal and unilateral code share agreements, lounge access agreements, special prorate agreements and frequent flyer program agreements, as well as all related clearinghouse agreements, are deemed to be, and will be treated as, Executory Contracts under this Plan and, on the Effective Date, will be deemed assumed pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code (in each case, as amended prior to or on the Effective Date) unless any such agreement or contract is listed on Exhibit C to this Plan, specifically rejected pursuant to a separate order of the Bankruptcy Court or is the subject of a separate rejection motion filed by the Debtors.

 

-74-


8.8 Preexisting Obligations to the Debtors Under Rejected Contracts

Rejection of any Rejected Contract pursuant to this Plan shall not constitute a termination of pre-existing obligations owed to the applicable Debtor(s) under such Rejected Contract. In particular, notwithstanding any non-bankruptcy law to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve and do not waive any right to receive, or any continuing obligation of a counterparty to provide, warranties or continued maintenance obligations on goods previously purchased by the contracting Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, from counterparties to any Rejected Contract.

8.9 Subsequent Modifications, Amendments, Supplements or Restatements.

Unless otherwise provided by this Plan or by separate order of the Bankruptcy Court, each executory contract and unexpired lease that is assumed, whether or not such executory contract or unexpired lease relates to the use, acquisition or occupancy of real property, shall include (a) all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements or other agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument or other document that in any manner affects such executory contract or unexpired lease and (b) all executory contracts or unexpired leases appurtenant to the premises, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, powers, and uses, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been or is rejected pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court or is otherwise rejected as part of this Plan. Except to the extent that this Plan or a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court provides otherwise, modifications, amendments, supplements and restatements to prepetition executory contracts and unexpired leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases and actions taken in accordance therewith (i) do not alter in any way the prepetition nature of the executory contracts and unexpired leases, or the validity, priority or amount of any Claims against the Debtors that may arise under the same, (ii) are not and do not create postpetition contracts or leases, (iii) do not elevate to administrative expense priority any Claims of the counterparties to the executory contracts and unexpired leases against any of the Debtors, and (iv) do not entitle any Person to a Claim under any section of the Bankruptcy Code on account of the difference between the terms of any prepetition executory contracts or unexpired leases and subsequent modifications, amendments, supplements or restatements.

8.10 Reservation of Rights

(a) The Debtors reserve their right, on or before 4:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) on the Business Day immediately before the Confirmation Hearing, as may be rescheduled or continued, to amend Exhibit C, Exhibit D and Exhibit E to this Plan to delete or add any unexpired lease or executory contract. The counterparty to any executory contracts or unexpired leases first listed on or removed from an amended Exhibit C, Exhibit D or Exhibit E to this Plan, as applicable, shall file any Treatment Objection no later than seven (7) days from the date such amended Exhibit is filed.

(b) If the Debtors, in their discretion, determine that the amount asserted to be the necessary “cure” amount would, if ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, make the assumption and/or assignment of the executory contract or unexpired lease imprudent, then the Debtors may elect to (i) reject the relevant executory contract or unexpired lease or (ii) request an expedited hearing on the resolution of the “cure” dispute, exclude assumption or rejection of the contract or lease from the scope of the Confirmation Order, and retain the right to reject the executory contract or unexpired lease pending the outcome of such dispute.

 

-75-


(c) If the Debtors, in their discretion, determine that the amount asserted to be the necessary rejection damages amount would, if ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, make the rejection of the executory contract or unexpired lease imprudent, then the Debtors may elect to (i) assume the relevant executory contract or unexpired lease, (ii) assume and assign the relevant executory contract or unexpired lease, or (iii) request an expedited hearing on the resolution of the rejection damages dispute, exclude assumption or rejection of the contract or lease from the scope of the Confirmation Order, and retain the right to assume or assume and assign the executory contract or unexpired lease pending the outcome of such dispute.

(d) Until a contract or lease has been assumed pursuant to this Plan or a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any contract or lease in Exhibit C, Exhibit D or Exhibit E to this Plan, nor anything contained in this Plan, shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an executory contract or unexpired lease or that the Reorganized Debtors have any liability thereunder.

(e) The Debtors agree to consult with the Commitment Parties in taking any actions under this Section 8.10.

8.11 Rejection Damages for Rejected Contracts; Cure of Defaults of Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

(a) All executory contracts and unexpired leases that are not expressly assumed shall be deemed rejected as of the Effective Date. Unless otherwise provided for herein, in Exhibit C to this Plan (including by filing a Treatment Objection as set forth below), or in the Plan Supplement, or the Bankruptcy Court orders otherwise, the rejection damages for each Rejected Contract shall be zero. Except to the extent that a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court provides otherwise, 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 shall be classified and treated as a General Unsecured Claim against the applicable Debtor(s), and may be objected to in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.12 hereof and the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules. Such Claim shall be forever barred and unenforceable against any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, their respective Affiliates, successors or assigns or the property of any of them, unless a Proof of Claim is filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served upon counsel for the Debtors within thirty (30) days from the later of (i) the date of entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such rejection, (ii) entry of the Confirmation Order, and (iii) the effective date of the rejection of such executory contract or unexpired lease.

(b) With respect to any Assigned Contracts and Assumed Contracts, other than those assumed pursuant to Sections 8.1, 8.3, 8.4. 8.5, or 8.6 hereof, at least ten (10) days before the deadline to object to confirmation of this Plan, the Debtors shall serve a notice on parties to all Assigned Contracts and Assumed Contracts reflecting the Debtors’ intention to potentially assume or assume and assign the Assumed Contract or Assigned Contract in connection with this Plan and, where applicable, setting forth the proposed cure amount (the “Cure Amount”) (if any) (the “Assumption Notice”). Except as otherwise provided for herein or in the Assumption Notice or as may be otherwise agreed in writing by the applicable Debtor and counterparty or ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the Cure Amount for each Assigned Contract

 

-76-


and Assumed Contract shall be zero. All Cure Amounts shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment in Cash in the amounts set forth in the Assumption Notice, or on such other terms as the parties to each such executory contract or unexpired lease may otherwise agree in writing, on or as soon as practicable following the Effective Date or on such other terms as the parties to each such executory contract or unexpired lease may otherwise agree. To the extent provided by section 365(b)(2)(D) of the Bankruptcy Code, no counterparty to an executory contract or unexpired lease shall be allowed a Claim, as part of its Cure Amount, for a default rate of interest or any other form of late payment penalty.

(c) In the event of a dispute pertaining to assumption, assignment, or the Cure Amount set forth in the Assumption Notice, the cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the resolution of the dispute in accordance with Section 8.12 of this Plan. Pending the resolution of such dispute, the executory contract or unexpired lease at issue shall be deemed conditionally assumed by the relevant Reorganized Debtor unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. To the extent that any Person fails to timely File an objection to the assumption, assumption and assignment, or the Cure Amount listed in the Assumption Notice or otherwise as set forth in Section 8.12 hereof, (i) such Person is deemed to have consented to such Cure Amounts and the assumption or assumption and assignment of such executory contracts or unexpired leases pursuant to this Plan and (ii) the Cure Amounts set forth in the Assumption Notice shall be final and binding on all non-debtor parties (including any successors and designees) to such executory contracts or unexpired leases set forth in the Assumption Notice, and shall not be subject to further dispute or audit based on performance prior to the time of assumption, irrespective of the terms and conditions of such executory contract or unexpired lease. Each counterparty to an assumed or assumed and assigned executory contract or unexpired lease shall be forever barred, estopped, and permanently enjoined from (i) asserting against any Reorganized Debtor, its Affiliates, successors or assigns or the property of any of them, any default existing as of the Effective Date under such contract or lease or any counterclaim, defense, setoff or any other interest asserted or assertable against the Debtors; and (ii) imposing or charging against any Reorganized Debtor any accelerations, assignment fees, increases or any other fees as a result of any assumption or assignment pursuant to this Plan.

(d) Upon the assignment of any Assigned Contract, no default shall exist thereunder and no counterparty to any such Assigned Contract shall be permitted to declare a default by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors thereunder or otherwise take action against the Reorganized Debtors, their Affiliates, successors or assigns or the property of any of them as a result of any of the Restructuring Transactions, or any Debtor’s financial condition, bankruptcy or failure to perform any of its obligations under such Assigned Contract prior to the Effective Date. Any provision in any Assigned Contract that is assigned under this Plan which prohibits or conditions the assignment or allows the counterparty thereto to terminate, recapture, impose any penalty, condition on renewal or extension, or modify any term or condition upon such assignment, constitutes an unenforceable anti-assignment provision that is void and of no force and effect.

-78-


On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may, in their sole discretion, settle Treatment Objections without any further notice to or action by the Bankruptcy Court or any other party (including by paying any agreed “cure” amounts).

For each executory contract or unexpired lease as to which a Treatment Objection is timely Filed and properly served and that is not otherwise resolved by the parties on or before the date of the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors, subject to the availability of the Bankruptcy Court, may schedule a hearing on such Treatment Objection and provide at least twenty-one (21) days’ notice of such hearing to the party filing such Treatment Objection.

Unless the Bankruptcy Court expressly orders or the parties agree otherwise, any assumption, rejection, or assignment approved by the Bankruptcy Court notwithstanding a Treatment Objection shall be effective as of the effective date originally proposed by the Debtors or specified in this Plan or the Confirmation Order. Any cure shall be paid as soon as reasonably practicable following the entry of a Final Order resolving a Cure Amount or assumption or assignment dispute unless the Debtors elect to reject the executory contract or unexpired lease as described above.

ARTICLE IX

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED CLAIMS

9.1 Resolution of Disputed Claims

Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court after notice and a hearing, the Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent shall have the exclusive right to make and File objections to Claims (other than Administrative Expense Claims and Professional Fees Claims to which other parties may object as set forth in Section 3.1 and Section 13.5 of this Plan) and shall serve a copy of each objection upon the Holder of the Claim to which the objection is made as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Effective Date (the “Claims Objection Deadline”) or such later date as is established by the filing of a notice by the Reorganized Debtors prior to the expiration of the then current Claims Objection Deadline. Notwithstanding any authority to the contrary, an objection to a Claim shall be deemed properly served on the Holder thereof if service is effected in any of the following manners: (a) in accordance with Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as modified and made applicable by Bankruptcy Rule 7004; (b) by email or first class mail, postage prepaid, on the signatory on the Proof of Claim or interest or other representative identified in the Proof of Claim or interest or any attachment thereto; (c) by email or first class mail, postage prepaid, on any counsel that has appeared on the Holder’s behalf in the Chapter 11 Cases or (d) any other method that may be agreed by the Debtors and the Holder. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019(a), the Debtors may compromise, settle and resolve all Disputed Claims up to the Effective Date. After the Effective Date, any such right shall pass to the Reorganized Debtors without the need for further approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

-79-


9.2 No Distributions Pending Allowance

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, no payments or distributions of any kind or nature shall be made with respect to all or any portion of a Disputed Claim unless and until all objections to such Disputed Claim have been settled or withdrawn or have been determined by Final Order and the Disputed Claim has become an Allowed Claim.

9.3 Distributions on Account of Disputed Claims Once They Are Allowed

If a Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim after the Initial Distribution Date, the Disbursing Agent shall be authorized to cause a distribution to be made on account of such Disputed Claim on the date of Allowance or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. Such distributions will be made pursuant to the applicable provisions of Article VII of this Plan, subject to Section 9.5 of this Plan.

9.4 Estimation of Claims

The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any contingent Claim, unliquidated Claim or Disputed Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code regardless of whether any of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors previously objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to such Claim, including during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent Claim, unliquidated Claim or Disputed Claim, the amount so estimated shall constitute either the Allowed amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on such Claim, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court. If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on the amount of such Claim, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may pursue supplementary proceedings to object to the allowance of such Claim. All of the aforementioned objection, estimation and resolution procedures are intended to be 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.

9.5 Disputed Claims Reserve

(a) On the Effective Date, the Disbursing Agent in coordination with Reorganized LATAM Parent (to the extent the Disbursing Agent is not Reorganized LATAM Parent) shall reserve in the Disputed Claims Reserve the amount of Cash and Plan Securities that the Reorganized Debtors determine (in consultation with the Commitment Creditors and the Backstop Shareholders) would likely have been distributed to the Holders of all Disputed Claims if such Disputed Claims had been Allowed on the Effective Date. The amount of such Disputed Claims is to be determined, solely for the purposes of establishing reserves and for maximum distribution purposes, to be the lesser of (a) the asserted amount of the Disputed Claim filed with the Bankruptcy Court as set forth in the non-duplicative Proof of Claim, or (if no proof of such Claim was filed) listed by the Debtors in the Schedules, (b) the amount, if any, estimated by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or ordered by other order of the Bankruptcy Court, or (c) the amount otherwise agreed to by the Debtors or the

 

-80-


Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and the Holder of such Disputed Claim for distribution purposes. With respect to all Disputed Claims that are unliquidated or contingent and/or for which no dollar amount is asserted on a Proof of Claim, the Debtors will reserve Cash equal to the amount reasonably determined by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors. With respect to any Plan Securities reserved pursuant to this Section 9.5, the Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursement Agent shall have the right, in their sole discretion, to sell such Plan Securities (including following conversion of any New Convertible Notes to New Convertible Notes Back-Up Shares) at prevailing market rates, with any Cash proceeds of such sale held in the Disputed Claims Reserve in accordance with this Section 9.5.

(b) The Disbursing Agent may, at the direction of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, adjust the Disputed Claims Reserve to reflect all earnings thereon (net of any expenses relating thereto, and net of taxes calculated at the applicable combined highest marginal tax rates imposed on a corporation in the jurisdiction in which the Disbursing Agent maintains all or a portion of the Disputed Claims Reserve, for federal, state and local tax purposes in each of the relevant jurisdictions on the amount of all such earnings recognized by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors for federal, state or local tax purposes in each of the relevant jurisdictions) to be distributed on the Distribution Dates, as required by this Plan. The Disbursing Agent shall hold in the Disputed Claims Reserve all dividends, payments and other distributions made on account of, as well as any obligations arising from, the property held in the Disputed Claims Reserve, to the extent that such property continues to be so held at the time such distributions are made or such obligations arise. To the extent that dividends are issued on the Plan Securities that the Disbursing Agent holds in reserve, the Disbursing Agent will also distribute such dividends in accordance with this Section 9.5 when distributions are made on Disputed Claims.

(c) After any reasonable determination by the Reorganized Debtors that the Disputed Claims Reserve should be adjusted downward in accordance with this Section 9.5, the Disbursing Agent shall, at the direction of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, effect a distribution to the Reorganized Debtors in the amount of such adjustment as required by this Plan (an “Adjustment Distribution”).

(d) After all Disputed Claims have become either Allowed or disallowed and all distributions required pursuant to Article VII of this Plan have been made, the Disbursing Agent shall, at the direction of the Reorganized Debtors, distribute the Cash remaining in the Disputed Claims Reserve to the Reorganized Debtors.

9.6 No Amendments to Claims

A Claim may be amended before the Confirmation Date only as agreed upon by the Debtors and the Holder of such Claim, or as otherwise permitted by the Bankruptcy Court, the Bankruptcy Rules or applicable non-bankruptcy law. On or after the Confirmation Date, the Holder of a Claim (other than an Administrative Expense Claim, a Claim for rejection damages for which the applicable objection deadline has not passed, or a Professional Fees Claim) must obtain prior authorization from the Bankruptcy Court or Reorganized Debtors to file or amend a Claim. Any new or amended Claim (other than Administrative Expense Claims or Claims for rejection damages for which the applicable objection deadline has not passed) filed after the Confirmation Date without such prior authorization will not appear on the Claims Register and will be deemed disallowed in full and expunged without any action required of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors and without the need for any court order.

 

-81-


9.7 No Late-Filed Claims

In accordance with the Bar Date Order, the Supplemental Bar Date Order and section 502(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Person that failed to file a Proof of Claim by the applicable Bar Date or was not otherwise permitted to file a Proof of Claim after the applicable Bar Date by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court is and shall be barred, estopped and enjoined from asserting any Claim against the Debtors (a) in an amount that exceeds the amount, if any, that is identified in the Schedules on behalf of such Person as undisputed, noncontingent and liquidated; or (b) of a different nature or a different classification than any Claim identified in the Schedules on behalf of such Person.

All Claims filed after the applicable Bar Date and for which no Final Order has been entered by the Bankruptcy Court determining that such Claims were timely filed shall be disallowed and expunged without any further action required by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or the Bankruptcy Court. Any Distribution on account of such Claims shall be limited to the amount, if any, listed in the applicable Schedules as undisputed, noncontingent and liquidated. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors have no obligation to review or respond to any Claim filed after the applicable Bar Date unless: (y) the filer has obtained an order from the Bankruptcy Court authorizing it to file such Claim after the Bar Date; or (z) the Reorganized Debtors have consented to the filing of such Claim in writing.

To the fullest extent provided under section 1141(d)(1)(A) and other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise expressly provided by this Plan or the Confirmation Order: (1) all consideration distributed under this Plan shall be in complete satisfaction, settlement, discharge, and release of and/or in exchange for (as applicable) all Claims of any kind or nature whatsoever against the Debtors or any of their assets or properties and regardless of whether any property shall have been distributed or retained pursuant to this Plan on account of such Claims; (2) this Plan shall bind all Discharge and Injunction Parties, notwithstanding whether any such Holders failed to vote to Accept or Reject this Plan or voted to Reject this Plan; and (3) all Persons and Entities shall be precluded from asserting against the Debtors, the Debtors’ Estates, the Reorganized Debtors, their successors and assigns, and their assets and properties any other Claims based upon any documents, instruments, or any act or omission, transaction, or other activity of any kind or nature that occurred prior to the Effective Date.

No Person may rely on the absence of a specific reference in this Plan, the Plan Supplement, the Disclosure Statement, the Disclosure Statement Supplement or the Confirmation Order 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 Person, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan.

(b) Unless any Causes of Action against a Person are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in this Plan or a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all Causes of Action, for later adjudication, and, therefore no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise), or laches, shall apply to such Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the confirmation or consummation of this Plan. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan and in accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Causes of Action that a Debtor may hold against any Person shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors.

(a) On the Effective Date, the Disbursing Agent shall reserve in the Administrative Claims Reserve Account the amount of Cash that the Debtors reasonably determine in good faith will be required after the Effective Date to satisfy Allowed Administrative Expense Claims (the “Administrative Claims Reserve”).

(b) The Disbursing Agent may, at the direction of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, adjust the Administrative Claims Reserve to reflect all earnings thereon (net of any expenses relating thereto, and net of taxes calculated at the applicable combined highest marginal tax rates imposed on a corporation resident in New York for federal, state and local tax purposes on the amount of all such earnings recognized by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors for federal, state or local tax purposes), to be distributed on the Distribution Dates, as required by this Plan.

If a Debtor (as referred to in this Section 13.16, including any successor in interest) fails to (a) make to the IRS any deposit or payment of any (1) currently accruing employment tax liability, (2) tax or (3) payment required under this plan by the due date of such deposit or payment, or (b) file any required Federal tax return by the due date of such return, then the United States may declare that the Debtor is in default upon notice to the Debtor. Failure to declare a default does not constitute a waiver by the United States of the right to declare that the debtor is in default. If the United States declares the Debtor to be in default and full payment is not made or any required return is not filed within (30) days of such notice, then the imposed liability, together with any unpaid current liabilities, shall become due and payable immediately, the IRS may collect any unpaid liabilities through the administrative collection provisions of the Internal Revenue Code or by any other procedure authorized by law, and any automatic stay under 11 USC § 362(a) in effect is lifted for this purpose without further order of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

  13.17

Fees and Expenses

From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may, in the ordinary course of business and without the necessity for any approval by the Bankruptcy Court, pay the reasonable fees and expenses of Professionals employed by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors thereafter incurred, including those fees and expenses incurred in connection with the implementation and consummation of this Plan.

 

  13.18

No Admissions

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Plan shall be deemed as an admission by the Debtors with respect to any matter set forth herein, including liability on any Claim.

 

  13.19

Dissolution of Committee

The Committee appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be dissolved on the Effective Date and its members shall be released from any further duties and responsibilities in the Chapter 11 Cases and under the Bankruptcy Code without need for a further order of the Bankruptcy Court; provided, however that obligations owing to or from the Committee arising under confidentiality agreements, joint interest agreements and protective orders, if any, entered during the Chapter 11 Cases shall remain in full force and effect according to their terms; provided further that the Committee shall continue to prepare and prosecute fee applications filed in compliance with this Plan. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall have no obligation to pay or reimburse any fees or expenses of any official or unofficial committee of creditors incurred after the Effective Date except with regard to the preparation and prosecution of fee applications.

 

  13.20

On or before substantial consummation of this Plan, the Debtors shall, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Plan and the other Restructuring Documents (as applicable), File such agreements and other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of this Plan.
