INTRODUCTION

The Debtors (as defined herein) propose this joint plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) for the resolution of the outstanding claims against, and interests in, the Debtors pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Article I.A of the Plan. Holders of Claims and Interests should refer to the Disclosure Statement for a discussion of the Debtors’ history, businesses, assets, results of operations, historical financial information, events during the Chapter 11 Cases, and projections of future operations, as well as a summary and description of the Plan and certain related matters. The Debtors are the proponents of the Plan within the meaning of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.

ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS ENTITLED TO VOTE TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN ARE ENCOURAGED TO READ THE PLAN AND THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE VOTING TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN.

ARTICLE II.

ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS, DIP CLAIMS, AND PRIORITY TAX CLAIMS

In accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Administrative Claims, DIP Claims, and Priority Tax Claims have not been classified and, thus, are excluded from the Classes of Claims and Interests.

 

A. Administrative Claims.

1. General Administrative Claims.

Except as specified in this Article II, unless the Holder of an Allowed General Administrative Claim and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, agree to less favorable treatment, each Holder of an Allowed General Administrative Claim will receive, in full satisfaction of its General Administrative Claim, Cash equal to the amount of such Allowed General Administrative Claim either: (a) on the Effective Date; (b) if the General Administrative Claim is not Allowed as of the Effective Date, 60 days after the date on which an order allowing such General Administrative Claim becomes a Final Order, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable; or (c) if the Allowed General Administrative Claim is based on a liability incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of their business after the Petition Date, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the particular transaction or agreement giving rise to such Allowed General Administrative Claim, without any further action by the Holders of such Allowed General Administrative Claim, and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

41


Except for Claims of Professionals, requests for payment of General Administrative Claims must be Filed and served on the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, no later than the Administrative Claims Bar Date applicable to the Debtor against whom the General Administrative Claim is asserted pursuant to the procedures specified in the Confirmation Order and the notice of the Effective Date. Holders of General Administrative Claims that are required to File and serve a request for payment of such General Administrative Claims by the Administrative Claims Bar Date that do not File and serve such a request by the Administrative Claims Bar Date shall be forever barred, estopped, and enjoined from asserting such General Administrative Claims against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or their respective property and such General Administrative Claims shall be deemed forever discharged and released as of the Effective Date. Any requests for payment of General Administrative Claims that are not properly Filed and served by the Administrative Claims Bar Date shall not appear on the Claims Register and shall be disallowed automatically without the need for further action by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors or further order of the Bankruptcy Court. To the extent this Article II.A.1 conflicts with Article XII.C of the Plan with respect to fees and expenses payable under section 1930(a) of the Judicial Code, including fees and expenses payable to the U.S. Trustee, Article XII.C of the Plan shall govern.

2. Professional Compensation.

 

  (a) Final Fee Applications.

All final requests for payment of Professional Fee Claims, including the Professional Fee Claims incurred during the period from the Petition Date through the Effective Date, must be Filed and served on the Reorganized Debtors no later than 45 days after the Effective Date. All such final requests will be subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court after notice and a hearing in accordance with the procedures established by the Bankruptcy Code and prior orders of the Bankruptcy Court in the Chapter 11 Cases, including the Interim Compensation Order, and once approved by the Bankruptcy Court, promptly paid from the Professional Fee Escrow Account up to its full Allowed amount. If the Professional Fee Escrow Account is insufficient to fund the full Allowed amounts of Professional Fee Claims, remaining unpaid Allowed Professional Fee Claims will be allocated among and paid directly by the Reorganized Debtors in the manner prescribed by Article II.A.2(d) of the Plan.

 

  (b) Professional Fee Escrow Account.

On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall establish and fund the Professional Fee Escrow Account with Cash equal to the Professional Fee Reserve Amount, the funding of which shall be allocated among the Debtors in the manner prescribed by Article II.A.2(d) of the Plan. The Professional Fee Escrow Account shall be maintained in trust solely for the Professionals. Such funds shall not be considered property of the Estates of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors. The amount of Professional Fee Claims owing to the Professionals shall be paid in Cash to such Professionals by the Reorganized Debtors from the Professional Fee Escrow Account when such Professional Fee Claims are Allowed by a Final Order. When all such Allowed amounts owing to Professionals have been paid in full, any remaining amount in the Professional Fee Escrow Account shall promptly be paid to the Reorganized Debtors in the manner prescribed by the allocation set forth in Article II.A.2(d) of the Plan, without any further action or order of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

  (c) Professional Fee Reserve Amount.

Professionals shall estimate their unpaid Professional Fee Claims and other unpaid fees and expenses incurred in rendering services to the Debtors before and as of the Effective Date and shall deliver such estimate to the Debtors no later than five days before the Effective Date, provided, however, that such estimate shall not be deemed to limit the amount of the fees and expenses that are the subject of the Professional’s final request for payment of Filed Professional Fee Claims. If a Professional does not provide an estimate, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors may estimate the unpaid and unbilled fees and expenses of such Professional. The total amount estimated pursuant to this section shall comprise the Professional Fee Reserve Amount. The Professional Fee Reserve Amount, as well as the return of any excess funds in the Professional Fee Escrow Account after all Allowed Professional Fee Claims have been paid in full, shall be allocated as among the Debtors in the manner prescribed by Article II.A.2(d) of the Plan.

 

42


  (d) Allocation of Professional Fee Claims.

Allowed Direct Professional Fee Claims shall be allocated to, and paid by, the applicable Debtor for whose direct benefit such Professional Fees Claims were incurred. Allowed Collective Professional Fee Claims shall be allocated to, and paid by, each Debtor in the same proportion that the amount of Allowed Direct Professional Fee Claims incurred by such Professional for such Debtor bears to the total amount of Allowed Direct Professional Fee Claims incurred by such Professional for all of the Debtors.

 

  (e) Post-Effective Date Fees and Expenses.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, from and after the Effective Dates, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors shall, in the ordinary course of business and without any further notice or application to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, pay in Cash the reasonable legal, professional, or other fees and expenses related to implementation of the Plan and Consummation incurred on or after the Effective Date by (i) the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, in the manner prescribed by the allocation set forth in Article II.A.2(d) of the Plan, (ii) the TCEH Committee, and (iii) the EFH/EFIH Committee. Upon the Effective Dates, any requirement that Professionals comply with sections 327 through 331, 363, and 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code in seeking retention or compensation for services rendered after such date shall terminate, and the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors may employ and pay any Professional in the ordinary course of business without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

Q. Preservation of Causes of Action.

In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, but subject to Article VIII of the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue any and all Causes of Action belonging to their Estates, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, including any actions specifically enumerated in the Plan Supplement, and the Reorganized Debtors’ rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date, other than: (i) the Causes of Action released by the Debtors pursuant to the releases and exculpations contained in the Plan, including in Article VIII, which shall be deemed released and waived by the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors as of the Effective Date; (ii) all Causes of Action that arise under sections 544, 547, 548, and 549 of the Bankruptcy Code and state fraudulent conveyance law; and (iii) the Causes of Action released by the Debtors pursuant to the Settlement Agreement.

The Reorganized Debtors reserve and shall retain the 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. 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.

75


Ad Hoc Committee that is a TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditor. Reorganized TCEH shall indemnify (a) the TCEH First Lien Agent for any reasonable and documented fees and expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of its counsel and agents) incurred after the TCEH Effective Date solely in connection with the implementation of the Plan, including but not limited to, making distributions pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan, and any disputes arising in connection therewith; and (b) any member or members of the TCEH First Lien Ad Hoc Committee for any reasonable and documented fees and expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of its counsel and agents) incurred after the TCEH Effective Date solely in connection with the TCEH First Lien Creditor Deposit L/C Collateral Allocation Dispute.

All amounts distributed and paid pursuant to this Article IV.R shall not be subject to disgorgement, setoff, recoupment, reduction, or reallocation of any kind.

 

S. Treatment of Certain Claims of the PBGC and Pension Plan.

Nothing in the Chapter 11 Cases, the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or any other document filed in the Chapter 11 Cases shall be construed to discharge, release, limit, or relieve any individual from any claim by the PBGC or the Pension Plans for breach of any fiduciary duty under ERISA, including prohibited transactions, with respect to the Pension Plans, subject to any and all applicable rights and defenses of such parties, which are expressly preserved. The PBGC and the Pension Plans shall not be enjoined or precluded from enforcing such fiduciary duty or related liability by any of the provisions of the Disclosure Statement, Plan, Confirmation Order, Bankruptcy Code, or other document filed in the Chapter 11 Cases. For the avoidance of doubt, the Reorganized Debtors shall not be released from any liability or obligation under ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code, and any other applicable law relating to or arising from the Pension Plans.

 

T. Spin-Off Tax Receivable Agreement.

If the Spin-Off Conditions are satisfied on or before the Spin-Off Conditions Termination Date, at the election of the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors, on the TCEH Effective Date and before the Distribution, Reorganized TCEH shall enter into the Spin-Off Tax Receivable Agreement, under which Reorganized TCEH shall agree to make payments in respect of its (or its subsidiaries’) specified tax items to or for the benefit of the TCEH First Lien Creditors (or their assigns).

ARTICLE V.

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

 

A. Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

On the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided herein, all Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases of the Debtors, not previously assumed or rejected pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, will be deemed to be Assumed Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, in accordance with the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, other than those Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that: (1) previously were assumed or rejected by the Debtors; (2) are identified on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List; (3) are the subject of a motion to reject Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that is pending on the Confirmation Date; or (4) are subject to a motion to reject an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to which the requested effective date of such rejection is after the Effective Date; provided that each of (2), (3) and (4) must be in form and substance reasonably acceptable (i) with respect to executory contracts and unexpired leases that will be assumed by Reorganized TCEH or any of its subsidiaries, the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors, and (ii) with respect to executory contracts and unexpired leases that will be assumed by Reorganized EFH or Reorganized EFIH, the Plan Sponsors. Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of such assignments and/or assumptions and the rejection of the Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases listed on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Any motions to assume Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases pending on the Effective Date shall be subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court on or after the Effective Date by a Final Order. Each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to this Article V.A or by any order of the Bankruptcy Court, which has not been assigned to a third party before the Confirmation Date, shall revest in and be fully enforceable by the Reorganized Debtors in accordance with its terms, except as such terms are modified by the Plan or any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption under applicable federal law. Notwithstanding anything this Article V.A. to the contrary, the Employment Agreements and the New Employee Agreements/Arrangements shall be deemed to be entered into or assumed and/or assigned (as applicable) to Reorganized TCEH on the TCEH Effective Date, and Reorganized TCEH shall be responsible for any cure costs arising from or related to the assumption of such Employment Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event any party to an Employment Agreement and the Reorganized EFH Debtors or Reorganized EFIH Debtors mutually agree that such party’s Employment Agreement shall be assumed by Reorganized EFH or Reorganized EFIH and not assigned to Reorganized TCEH, the consent of the Plan Sponsors shall be required with respect to such assumption and the Reorganized EFH Debtors and Reorganized EFIH Debtors, as applicable, shall be responsible for any cure costs arising from or related to the assumption of such Employment Agreements. Additionally, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, the Executive Severance Policy, or any Employment Agreement, the occurrence of the TCEH Effective Date shall be deemed to constitute a “change in control” under the Executive Severance Policy and each Employment Agreement. On the TCEH Effective Date, Reorganized TCEH shall execute a written agreement (in a form reasonably acceptable to the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors) with each employee who is party to an Employment Agreement acknowledging that the transactions consummated upon the occurrence of the TCEH Effective Date shall constitute a “change in control” under such employee’s Employment Agreement. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, with the reasonable consent of the Plan Sponsors and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors, reserve the right to alter, amend, modify, or supplement the schedules of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases with respect to such Debtors and Reorganized Debtors at any time through and including 45 days after the Effective Date, without incurrence of any penalty or changing the priority or security of any Claim as a result of such treatment change.

 

B. Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases.

Unless otherwise provided by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, all Proofs of Claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, pursuant to the Plan or the Confirmation Order, if any, must be Filed within 30 days after the later of: (1) the date of entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court (including the Confirmation Order) approving such rejection; and (2) the effective date of such rejection. Any Claims arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease not Filed within such time will be automatically disallowed, forever barred from assertion, and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, the Estates, or their property without the need for any

 

77


objection by the Reorganized Debtors or further notice to, or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other Entity, and any Claim arising out of the rejection of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged, notwithstanding anything in the Schedules or a Proof of Claim to the contrary. All Allowed Claims arising from the rejection of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases shall be classified as General Unsecured Claims against the applicable Debtor and shall be treated in accordance with the Plan, unless a different security or priority is otherwise asserted in such Proof of Claim and Allowed in accordance with Article VII of the Plan.

 

C. Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

Any monetary defaults under each Assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the default amount in Cash on the Effective Date, subject to the limitation described below, or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases may otherwise agree. In the event of a dispute regarding (1) the amount of any payments to cure such a default, (2) 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 (3) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption. At least 14 days before the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors will provide for notices of proposed assumption and proposed cure amounts to be sent to applicable third parties and for procedures for objecting thereto and resolution of disputes by the Bankruptcy Court. Any objection by a counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to a proposed assumption or related cure amount must be Filed, served, and actually received by the Debtors at least seven (7) days before the Confirmation Hearing. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption or cure amount will be deemed to have consented to such assumption or proposed cure amount.

Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Claims or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any Assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time before the effective date of assumption. Any Proofs of Claim Filed with respect to an Assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed disallowed and expunged, without further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

D. Preexisting Obligations to the Debtors under Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

Rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall not constitute a termination of preexisting obligations owed by the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease counterparty or counterparties to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, under such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases.

 

E. Indemnification Obligations.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, each Indemnification Obligation shall be assumed by the applicable Debtor, effective as of the Effective Date, pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Each Indemnification Obligation shall remain in full force and effect, shall not be modified, reduced, discharged, impaired, or otherwise affected in any way, and shall survive Unimpaired and unaffected, irrespective of when such obligation arose.

The TCEH Debtors and Reorganized TCEH shall assume the Indemnification Obligations for the current and former directors, officers, managers, employees, and other professionals of the TCEH Debtors, in their capacities as such, and the EFH Debtors and Reorganized EFH shall assume the Indemnification Obligations for the current and former directors, officers, managers, employees, and other professionals of the EFH Debtors or EFIH Debtors, in their capacities as such; provided that the TCEH Debtors and Reorganized TCEH shall not assume, and shall not have any liability for or any obligations in respect of, any Indemnification Obligations for the current and former directors, officers, managers, employees, and other professionals of the EFH Debtors or EFIH Debtors, in their capacities as such, and the EFH Debtors, Reorganized EFH, EFIH Debtors, and Reorganized EFIH shall not

assume, and shall not have any liability for or any obligations in respect of, any Indemnification Obligations for the current and former directors, officers, managers, employees, and other professionals of the TCEH Debtors, in their capacities as such.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall impair the ability of Reorganized EFH, Reorganized EFIH or Reorganized TCEH, as applicable, to modify indemnification obligations (whether in the bylaws, certificates or incorporate or formation, limited liability company agreements, other organizational or formation documents, board resolutions, indemnification agreements, employment contracts, or otherwise) arising after the Effective Date.

 

F. Insurance Policies.

Each of the Debtors’ Insurance Policies are treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, on the Effective Date, the Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all insurance policies and any agreements, documents, and instruments relating to coverage of all insured Claims, and such Insurance Policies shall not be impaired in any way by the Plan or the Confirmation Order, but rather will remain valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms.

 

G. Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements, or Other Agreements.

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements have been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated under the Plan.

Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.

 

H. Reservation of Rights.

Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List or the Assumed Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List, nor anything contained in the 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 any of the Reorganized Debtors has any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption or rejection, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have 30 days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter its treatment of such contract or lease.

 

I. Nonoccurrence of Effective Date.

In the event that the Effective Date does not occur with respect to a Debtor, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction with respect to any request to extend the deadline for assuming or rejecting Unexpired Leases with respect to such Debtor pursuant to section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such deadline(s) have expired.

 

J. Contracts and Leases Entered Into After the Petition Date.

Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor, including any Assumed Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, will be performed by the applicable Debtor or the applicable Reorganized Debtor liable thereunder in the ordinary course of their business. Accordingly, any such contracts and leases (including any Assumed Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases) that have not been rejected as of the date of the Confirmation Date shall survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order.

ARTICLE VI.

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

 

A. Timing and Calculation of Amounts to Be Distributed.

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, on the Effective Date (or if a Claim or Interest is not an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest on the Effective Date, on the date that such Claim or Interest becomes an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter), each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest shall receive the full amount of the distributions that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims and Allowed Interest in the applicable Class. In the event that any payment or act under the Plan is required to be made or performed on a date that is not a Business Day, then the making of such payment or the performance of such act may be completed on the next succeeding Business Day, but shall be deemed to have been completed as of the required date. If and to the extent that there are Disputed Claims or Disputed Interests, distributions on account of any such Disputed Claims or Disputed Interests shall be made pursuant to the provisions set forth in Article VII of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, Holders of Claims and Interests shall not be entitled to interest, dividends, or accruals on the distributions provided for in the Plan, regardless of whether such distributions are delivered on or at any time after the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, distributions to Holders of Allowed Class C3 Claims shall be made in accordance with Article III.B.29 of the Plan, notwithstanding the pendency of the TCEH First Lien Creditor Deposit L/C Collateral Allocation Dispute.

With respect to Holders of Class C5 Claims that are Allowed as of the Effective Date, the amount of the Effective Date distribution will be calculated as if each Disputed Class C5 Claim were an Allowed Class C5 Claim equal to the lesser of (a) the asserted amount of such Claim and (b) the amount estimated by the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with Article VII.C of the Plan. On each Periodic Distribution Date, the Disbursing Agent shall make additional Pro Rata distributions to Holders of Allowed Class C5 Claims until such Claims have received the maximum recovery available to Holders of Class C5 Claims under the Plan.

Before the Effective Date, the TCEH Debtors shall create, in consultation with the TCEH Committee, a list of Disputed Class C5 Claims that shall be Allowed Class C5 Claims as of the Effective Date. Following the creation of such list, the TCEH Debtors shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter submit, to the Bankruptcy Court an order, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the TCEH Committee, allowing such Claims; provided, however, that entry of such order shall not in any way impede, delay, or otherwise interfere with the occurrence of the Effective Date.

 

B. Disbursing Agent.

All distributions under the Plan shall be made to Holders of Allowed Claims by the Disbursing Agent on the Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, in accordance with the Plan. The Disbursing Agent shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

 

C. Rights and Powers of Disbursing Agent.

1. Powers of the Disbursing Agent.

The Disbursing Agent shall be empowered to: (a) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments, and other documents necessary to perform its duties under the Plan; (b) make all distributions contemplated hereby; (c) employ professionals to represent it with respect to its responsibilities; and (d) exercise such other powers as may be vested in the Disbursing Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to the Plan, or as deemed by the Disbursing Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions of the Plan.

2. Expenses Incurred On or After the Effective Date.

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

 

80


and expense reimbursement claims (including reasonable attorney fees and expenses) made by the Disbursing Agent shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors. Reorganized TCEH shall only be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent for distributions related to Claims against the TCEH Debtors, and Reorganized EFH and Reorganized EFIH shall only be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent for distributions related to Claims against the EFH Debtors and EFIH Debtors.

 

D. Delivery of Distributions and Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions.

1. Record Date for Distribution.

On the Distribution Record Date, the Claims Register shall be closed and any party responsible for making distributions shall instead be authorized and entitled to recognize only those record Holders listed on the Claims Register as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. The record Holder for the TCEH Credit Agreement Claims solely for purposes of the Record Date shall be the TCEH First Lien Administrative Agent.

2. Delivery of Distributions in General.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Reorganized Debtors shall make distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests as of the Distribution Record Date at the address for each such Holder as indicated on the Debtors’ records as of the date of any such distribution; provided, however, that the Distribution Record Date shall not apply to publicly-traded Securities. The manner of such distributions shall be determined at the discretion of the Reorganized Debtors, and the address for each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest shall be deemed to be the address set forth in any Proof of Claim or Interest Filed by that Holder.

3. Delivery of Distributions on DIP Claims.

All distributions on account of DIP Claims shall be made to the applicable DIP Agent, who shall be deemed to be the Holder of such DIP Claims, as applicable, for purposes of distributions to be made hereunder. As soon as practicable following compliance with the requirements set forth in this Article VI, the applicable DIP Agent shall arrange to deliver or direct the delivery of such distributions to or on behalf of the Holders of DIP Claims in accordance with the terms of the DIP Facilities, as applicable, subject to any modifications to such distributions in accordance with the terms of the Plan; provided, however, that the DIP Agents shall retain all rights as administrative agents under the DIP Facilities in connection with the delivery of distributions to DIP Lenders. The DIP Agents shall not have any liability to any person with respect to distributions made or directed to be made by the DIP Agents.

4. Delivery of Distributions on TCEH First Lien Claims.

To the extent that the TCEH First Lien Creditor Plan Distribution Allocation Order provides that any of the TCEH First Lien Creditor Distributions are Collateral (as that term is used in the TCEH First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) or proceeds of Collateral (as that term is used in the TCEH First Lien Intercreditor Agreement), then such distributions shall be made to the TCEH First Lien Collateral Agent for further distribution to the Secured Debt Representatives (as defined in the TCEH First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan and the TCEH First Lien Creditor Plan Distribution Allocation Order, and the Secured Debt Representatives (as defined in the TCEH First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) shall in turn make such distributions to the Holders of Allowed Class C3 Claims pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan and the TCEH First Lien Creditor Plan Distribution Allocation Order. To the extent that the TCEH First Lien Creditor Plan Distribution Allocation Order provides that any of the TCEH First Lien Creditor Distributions are not Collateral (as that term is used in the TCEH First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) or proceeds of Collateral (as that term is used in the TCEH First Lien Intercreditor Agreement), then such distributions shall be made to the Secured Debt Representatives (as defined in the TCEH First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) for further distribution directly to the Holders of Allowed Class C3 Claims pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan. If the TCEH First Lien Creditor Plan Distribution Allocation Order has not been entered as of the Effective Date, a reserve will be established in the manner described in Article III.B.30. For the avoidance of doubt, distributions to Holders of Allowed Class C3 Claims shall be made in accordance with Article III.B.30 of the Plan, notwithstanding the pendency of the TCEH First Lien Creditor Deposit L/C Collateral Allocation Dispute. THE TCEH FIRST LIEN AGENT AND THE TCEH FIRST LIEN NOTES

 

81


TRUSTEE SHALL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON WITH RESPECT TO DISTRIBUTIONS MADE OR DIRECTED TO BE MADE BY SUCH TCEH FIRST LIEN AGENT OR TCEH FIRST LIEN NOTES TRUSTEE PURSUANT TO AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PLAN.

5. No Fractional Distributions.

No fractional shares of Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, Reorganized EFH Common Stock, or New EFH Common Stock shall be distributed and no Cash shall be distributed in lieu of such fractional amounts. When any distribution pursuant to the Plan on account of an applicable Allowed Claim would otherwise result in the issuance of a number of shares of Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, Reorganized EFH Common Stock, or New EFH Common Stock that is not a whole number, the actual distribution of shares of Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, Reorganized EFH Common Stock, or New EFH Common Stock shall be rounded as follows: (a) fractions of one-half ( 12) or greater shall be rounded to the next higher whole number and (b) fractions of less than one-half ( 12) shall be rounded to the next lower whole number with no further payment therefor. The total number of authorized shares of Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, Reorganized EFH Common Stock, or New EFH Common Stock to be distributed to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be adjusted as necessary to account for the foregoing rounding.

6. Minimum Distribution.

No Cash payment of less than $50.00 shall be made to a Holder of an Allowed Claim on account of such Allowed Claim.

7. Undeliverable Distributions and Unclaimed Property.

In the event that any distribution to any Holder is returned as undeliverable, no distribution to such Holder shall be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent has determined the then-current address of such Holder, at which time such distribution shall be made to such Holder without interest; provided, however, that such distributions shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code at the expiration of one year from the applicable Distribution Date. After such date, all unclaimed property or interests in property shall revert to the applicable Reorganized Debtor(s) automatically and without need for a further order by the Bankruptcy Court (notwithstanding any applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws to the contrary), and the claim of any Holder to such property shall be fully discharged, released, and forever barred.

8. Delivery of Distributions on PCRB Claims.

All distributions on account of PCRB Claims are subject to the PCRB Trustee’s charging lien and priority of payment rights. Accordingly, before the distribution of any Cash to Holders of Allowed PCRB Claims pursuant to Article III.B.30 of the Plan, the Disbursing Agent will distribute (solely from the distribution of Cash to Holders of Allowed PCRB Claims as set forth in Article III.B.30 of the Plan) to the PCRB Trustee the amount of Cash that is necessary to pay in full (in accordance with the amount provided by the PCRB Trustee in a written notice to the Disbursing Agent) (a) the fees and expenses of the PCRB Trustee (including professional and other advisory fees and expenses) that are not otherwise paid under the Plan and (b) any reserve for fees and expenses as requested by the PCRB Trustee (including any reserve required in the event of an appeal relating to the PCRB Trustee’s fees and expenses otherwise payable under this Plan). The Disbursing Agent shall distribute Pro Rata the remainder of the Cash that is distributable on account of the PCRB Claims pursuant to Article III.B.30 of the Plan to the Holders of the PCRB Claims pursuant to the Plan. The Disbursing Agent also shall distribute Pro Rata to the Holders of the PCRB Claims any unused portion of any reserve required by the PCRB Trustee upon the PCRB’s release of such reserve to the Disbursing Agent.

 

E. Manner of Payment.

Unless as otherwise set forth herein, all distributions of Cash, the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, the Reorganized EFH Common Stock, and the New EFH Common Stock, to the Holders of Allowed Claims under the Plan shall be made by the Disbursing Agent on behalf of the Reorganized Debtors. At the option of the Disbursing Agent, any Cash payment to be made under the Plan may be made by check or wire transfer or as otherwise required or provided in applicable agreements. All Cash distributions to be made hereunder to the DIP Agents on account of the DIP Claims shall be made by wire transfer.

 

82


F. SEC Registration/Exemption.

Each of the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, New Reorganized TCEH Debt, Reorganized TCEH Sub Preferred Stock, New Reorganized EFIH Debt, Reorganized EFH Common Stock, Reorganized EFIH Membership Interests, Rights, and New EFH Common Stock are or may be “securities,” as defined in Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act, section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, and applicable state securities laws.

Pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, the issuance of (1) the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, (2) the Reorganized EFH Common Stock, and (3) the Reorganized EFIH Membership Interests issued to Holders of Allowed Interests in EFIH are exempt from, among other things, the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act and any other applicable U.S. state or local law requiring registration before the offering, issuance, distribution, or sale of such securities. Each of the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, the Reorganized EFH Common Stock, and the Reorganized EFIH Membership Interests issued to Holders of Allowed Interests in EFIH, (a) is not a “restricted security” as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, and (b) is freely tradable and transferable by any initial recipient thereof that (i) at the time of transfer, is not an “affiliate” of the Reorganized TCEH, Reorganized EFH, Reorganized EFIH, or New EFH, as the case may be, as defined in Rule 144(a)(1) under the Securities Act and has not been such an “affiliate” within 90 days of such transfer, and (ii) is not an entity that is an “underwriter” as defined in subsection (b) of section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.

The offering and issuance of the Rights and the New EFH Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Rights, each pursuant to the Rights Offering, will be registered with the SEC pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. As such, the shares of New EFH Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Rights (a) will not be “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, and (b) will be freely tradable and transferable by any initial recipient thereof that at the time of sale is not, and has not been within the prior 90 days, an “affiliate” of New EFH, as defined in Rule 144(a)(1) under the Securities Act.

The New Reorganized TCEH Debt, the Reorganized TCEH Sub Preferred Stock, the New Reorganized EFIH Debt, and any New EFH Common Stock issued pursuant to the Backstop Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter will be issued without registration under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act (and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder) and each will be “restricted securities” subject to resale restrictions and may be resold, exchanged, assigned or otherwise transferred only pursuant to registration, or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and other applicable law.

Should the Reorganized Debtors elect on or after the Effective Date to reflect any ownership of any of the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, New Reorganized TCEH Debt, Reorganized TCEH Sub Preferred Stock, New Reorganized EFIH Debt, Reorganized EFH Common Stock, Reorganized EFIH Membership Interests, and New EFH Common Stock through the facilities of the DTC, the Reorganized Debtors need not provide any further evidence other than the Plan or the Confirmation Order with respect to the treatment of the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, New Reorganized TCEH Debt, Reorganized TCEH Sub Preferred Stock, New Reorganized EFIH Debt, Reorganized EFH Common Stock, Reorganized EFIH Membership Interests, and New EFH Common Stock under applicable securities laws.

The DTC shall be required to accept and conclusively rely upon the Plan and Confirmation Order in lieu of a legal opinion regarding whether any of the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, New Reorganized TCEH Debt, Reorganized TCEH Sub Preferred Stock, New Reorganized EFIH Debt, Reorganized EFH Common Stock, Reorganized EFIH Membership Interests, and New EFH Common Stock, as applicable, are exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no entity (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the DTC) may require a legal opinion regarding the validity of any transaction contemplated by the Plan, including, for the avoidance of doubt, whether the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, New Reorganized TCEH Debt, Reorganized TCEH Sub Preferred Stock, New Reorganized EFIH Debt, Reorganized EFH Common Stock, Reorganized EFIH Membership Interests, and New EFH Common Stock are exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services.

 

83


G. Compliance with Tax Requirements.

In connection with the Plan, the applicable Reorganized Debtor(s) shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit with respect to distributions pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent, as applicable, shall be authorized to take all actions necessary to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes, withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such distributions, and establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable and appropriate to comply with such requirements. The Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and other spousal awards, liens, and encumbrances.

 

H. No Postpetition or Default Interest on Claims.

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, and notwithstanding any documents that govern the Debtors’ prepetition funded indebtedness to the contrary, (1) postpetition and/or default interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims and (2) no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to: (a) interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any such Claim; or (b) interest at the contract default rate, as applicable.

 

I. Setoffs and Recoupment.

The Debtors and Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may, but shall not be required to, setoff against or recoup any payments or distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of any Claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may have against the claimant, but neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors of any such claim it may have against the Holder of such Claim.

 

J. No Double Payment of Claims.

To the extent that a Claim is Allowed against more than one Debtor’s Estate, there shall be only a single recovery on account of that Allowed Claim, but the Holder of an Allowed Claim against more than one Debtor may recover distributions from all co-obligor Debtors’ Estates until the Holder has received payment in full on the Allowed Claims. No Holder of an Allowed Claim shall be entitled to receive more than payment in full of its Allowed Claim, and each Claim shall be administered and treated in the manner provided by the Plan only until payment in full on that Allowed Claim.

 

K. Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties.

1. Claims Paid by Third Parties.

The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall reduce a Claim, and such Claim shall be disallowed without a Claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, to the extent that the Holder of such Claim receives payment on account of such Claim from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor (other than the Disbursing Agent). Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, to the extent a Holder of a Claim receives a distribution on account of such Claim and receives payment from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor on account of such Claim, such Holder shall, within 14 days of receipt thereof, repay or return the distribution to the applicable Reorganized Debtor, to the extent the Holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount of such Claim as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan. The failure of such Holder to timely repay or return such distribution shall result in the Holder owing the applicable Reorganized Debtor annualized interest at the Federal Judgment Rate on such amount owed for each Business Day after the 14-day period specified above until the amount is repaid.

 

84


2. Claims Payable by Third Parties.

No distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of an Allowed Claim that is payable pursuant to one of the Debtors’ insurance policies until the Holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to such insurance policy. To the extent that one or more of the Debtors’ insurers agrees to satisfy in full or in part a Claim (if and to the extent adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction), then immediately upon such insurers’ agreement, the applicable portion of such Claim may be expunged without a Claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

3. Applicability of Insurance Policies.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be in accordance with the provisions of any applicable insurance policy. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Cause of Action that the Debtors or any Entity may hold against any other Entity, including insurers under any policies of insurance, nor shall anything contained herein (a) constitute or be deemed a waiver by such insurers of any rights or defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such insurers, or (b) establish, determine, or otherwise imply any liability or obligation, including any coverage obligation, of any insurer.

ARTICLE VII.

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CONTINGENT,

UNLIQUIDATED, AND DISPUTED CLAIMS

 

A. Allowance of Claims.

Except as otherwise set forth in the Plan, after the Effective Date, each of the Reorganized Debtors shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses such Debtor had with respect to any Claim immediately before the Effective Date. This Article VII of the Plan shall not apply to the DIP Claims, TCEH First Lien Claims, TCEH Second Lien Note Claims, or TCEH Unsecured Note Claims, which Claims shall be Allowed in full and shall not be subject to any avoidance, reductions, set off, offset, recharacterization, subordination (whether equitable, contractual, or otherwise), counterclaims, cross-claims, defenses, disallowance, impairment, objection, or any other challenges under any applicable law or regulation by any person or entity.

Except as specifically provided as Allowed Claims pursuant to Article III.B of the Plan or otherwise objected to by the Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan shall serve as the Debtors’ objection to all other EFIH First Lien Note Claims, EFIH Second Lien Note Claims, EFIH Unsecured Note Claims, EFH LBO Note Claims, and EFH Legacy Note Claims under the respective indentures. If the Bankruptcy Court sustains the Debtors’ objection to these Claims, the Confirmation Order will disallow such Claims. The Holders of such Claims may respond to the Debtors’ objection to such Claims by filing an objection to the Plan.

 

B. Claims Administration Responsibilities.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, after the Effective Date, the applicable Reorganized Debtor(s) shall have the sole authority: (1) to File, withdraw, or litigate to judgment, objections to Claims; (2) to settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court; and (3) to administer and adjust the Claims Register to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

Except with respect to Claims and Causes of Action released by the Debtors pursuant to the releases and exculpations contained in the Plan, including in Article VIII, if one or more Entities have sought and obtained standing to prosecute a Cause of Action on behalf of one or more of the Debtors’ Estates and such Entities are prosecuting such Causes of Actions as of the Effective Date, then such Entities will have the sole authority, solely with respect to such Causes of Action, to File, withdraw, litigate to judgment, settle, compromise, or take any other actions in respect of such Causes of Action.

 

85


C. Estimation of Claims.

Before or after the Effective Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may (but are not required to) at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Disputed Claim that is contingent or unliquidated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any such Claim, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or during the appeal relating to such objection. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan, a Claim that has been expunged from the Claims Register, but that either is subject to appeal or has not been the subject of a Final Order, shall be deemed to be estimated at zero dollars, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim, that estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim for all purposes under the Plan (including for purposes of distributions), and the relevant Reorganized Debtor may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such Claim.

If the TCEH Debtors determine, in their reasonable discretion and in consultation with the TCEH Committee, that (1) one or more Disputed Class C5 Claims are capable of estimation by the Bankruptcy Court, (2) estimation will materially improve Effective Date distributions to Holders of Allowed Class C5 Claims, and (3) estimation is otherwise in the best interests of the Estates, the TCEH Debtors shall file one or more motions to estimate such Disputed Class C5 Claims, which motion or motions shall be filed and noticed to be heard (on regular notice to all parties in interest) by the Bankruptcy Court before the Effective Date (or such other date as determined by the Bankruptcy Court).

 

D. Adjustment to Claims without Objection.

Any Claim that has been paid or satisfied, or any Claim that has been amended or superseded, may be adjusted or expunged on the Claims Register by the Reorganized Debtors without a Claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

E. Time to File Objections to Claims or Interests.

Any objections to Claims or Interests shall be Filed on or before the Claims Objection Deadline.

 

F. Disallowance of Claims.

Any Claims held by Entities from which the Bankruptcy Court has determined that property is recoverable under section 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that is a transferee of a transfer that the Bankruptcy Court has determined is avoidable under section 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be deemed disallowed pursuant to section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and Holders of such Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such Claims until such time as such Causes of Action against that Entity have been settled or a Bankruptcy Court order with respect thereto has been entered and the full amount of such obligation to the Debtors has been paid or turned over in full. All Proofs of Claim Filed on account of an Indemnification Obligation shall be deemed satisfied and expunged from the Claims Register as of the Effective Date to the extent such Indemnification Obligation is assumed (or honored or reaffirmed, as the case may be) pursuant to the Plan, without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. All Proofs of Claim Filed on account of an employee benefit shall be deemed satisfied and expunged from the Claims Register as of the Effective Date to the extent the Reorganized Entities elect to honor such employee benefit, without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

Except as provided herein or otherwise agreed, any and all Proofs of Claim Filed after the Bar Date shall be deemed disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and Holders of such Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such Claims, unless on or before the Confirmation Hearing such late Claim has been deemed timely Filed by a Final Order.

 

86


G. Amendments to Proofs of Claim.

On or after the Effective Date, a Proof of Claim or Interest may not be Filed or amended without the prior authorization of the Bankruptcy Court or the Reorganized Debtors, and any such new or amended Proof of Claim or Interest Filed shall be deemed disallowed in full and expunged without any further action.

 

H. Reimbursement or Contribution.

If the Bankruptcy Court disallows a Claim for reimbursement or contribution of an Entity pursuant to section 502(e)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, then to the extent that such Claim is contingent as of the time of allowance or disallowance, such Claim shall be forever disallowed and expunged notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless before the Confirmation Date: (1) such Claim has been adjudicated as non-contingent; or (2)the relevant Holder of a Claim has Filed a non-contingent Proof of Claim on account of such Claim and a Final Order has been entered before the Confirmation Date determining such Claim as no longer contingent.

 

I. No Distributions Pending Allowance.

Except as otherwise set forth herein, if an objection to a Claim or portion thereof is Filed as set forth in Article VII.A and VII.B of the Plan, no payment or distribution provided under the Plan shall be made on account of such Disputed Claim or portion thereof unless and until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

 

J. Distributions After Allowance.

To the extent that a Disputed Claim ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim, distributions (if any) shall be made to the Holder of such Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. Except as otherwise set forth in the Plan, as soon as practicable after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing any Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order, the Disbursing Agent shall provide to the Holder of such Claim the distribution (if any) to which such Holder is entitled under the Plan as of the Effective Date, less any previous distribution (if any) that was made on account of the undisputed portion of such Claim, without any interest, dividends, or accruals to be paid on account of such Claim unless required under such order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court.

ARTICLE VIII.

90


Holders of Allowed Class C3 Claims (other than the TCEH First Lien Agent, except in the TCEH First Lien Agent’s capacity as a nominal defendant to declaratory judgment claims in respect of which no monetary recovery is sought) solely with respect to the TCEH First Lien Creditor Deposit L/C Collateral Allocation Dispute. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Plan shall not enjoin or otherwise prevent Holders of EFIH First Lien Note Claims, Holders of EFIH Second Lien Note Claims, the EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee, or the EFIH Second Lien Notes Trustee from prosecuting any appeal of any order with respect to any Makewhole Claims or any other Claims held by such parties.

 

G. Liabilities to, and Rights of, Governmental Units.

Nothing in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall release, discharge, or preclude the enforcement of: (i) any liability to a Governmental Unit that is not a Claim; (ii) any Claim of a Governmental Unit arising on or after the Effective Date, other than taxes determined under the prompt determination procedure in section 505 of the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent applicable; (iii) any liability to a Governmental Unit on the part of any Entity other than the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors; or (iv) any valid right of setoff or recoupment by any Governmental Unit.

 

H. Environmental Law Matters.

Nothing in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall release, discharge, or preclude the enforcement of, (or preclude, release, defeat, or limit the defense under non-bankruptcy law of) : (i) any liability under Environmental Law to a Governmental Unit that is not a Claim; (ii) any Claim under Environmental Law of a Governmental Unit arising on or after the Effective Date; (iii) any liability under Environmental Law to a Governmental Unit on the part of any Entity to the extent of such Entity’s liability under non-bankruptcy law on account of its status as owner or operator of such property after the Effective Date; (iv) any liability to a Governmental Unit on the part of any Entity other than the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors; or (v) any valid right of setoff or recoupment by any Governmental Unit. All parties’ rights and defenses under Environmental Law with respect to (i) through (v) above are fully preserved. For the avoidance of doubt, the United States is not a Releasing Party under the Plan.

Nothing in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall enjoin or otherwise bar any Governmental Unit from asserting or enforcing, outside this Court, any liability described in the preceding paragraph. Nothing in the Plan or the Confirmation Order authorizes: (i) the transfer or assignment of any governmental license, permit, registration, authorization, or approval, or (ii) the discontinuation of any obligation thereunder, without compliance with all applicable legal requirements under Environmental Law. The Bankruptcy Court retains jurisdiction, but not exclusive jurisdiction, to determine whether environmental liabilities asserted by any Governmental Unit are discharged or otherwise barred by the Confirmation Order or the Plan, or the Bankruptcy Code.

For the avoidance of doubt, all Claims under Environmental Law arising before the Effective Date, including penalty claims for days of violation prior to the Effective Date, shall be subject to Article VIII of the Plan and treated in accordance with the Plan in all respects and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction as provided in Article XI of the Plan in relation to the allowance or disallowance of any Claim under Environmental Law arising before the Effective Date.

Without limiting the Bankruptcy Court’s jurisdiction as set forth above, nothing in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall divest or limit the jurisdiction of other tribunals over the Environmental Action, and upon the Effective Date of the Plan, the Environmental Action shall survive the Chapter 11 Cases and may be adjudicated in the court or tribunal in which such Environmental Action is currently pending; provided, further, however, any judgment for a Claim in the Environmental Action arising before the Effective Date shall be treated in accordance with the Plan in all respects; provided, further, however, that nothing in the Plan shall preclude, release, defeat, or limit any grounds for asserting or opposing an alleged defense or affirmative defense under non-bankruptcy law in the Environmental Action based on any change in ownership, and all such grounds for asserting or opposing such defenses and affirmative defenses under non-bankruptcy law are expressly preserved. With respect to the Environmental Action, this Article VIII.H does not alter any rights or defenses under non-bankruptcy law arising as a result of any changes of ownership provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order. The Governmental Units reserve all rights as to whether there are any such rights or defenses.

 

91


I. Protections Against Discriminatory Treatment.

Consistent with section 525 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, all Entities, including Governmental Units, shall not discriminate against the Reorganized Debtors or deny, revoke, suspend, or refuse to renew a license, permit, charter, franchise, or other similar grant to, condition such a grant to, discriminate with respect to such a grant against, the Reorganized Debtors, or another Entity with whom the Reorganized Debtors have been associated, solely because each Debtor has been a debtor under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, has been insolvent before the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases (or during the Chapter 11 Cases but before the Debtors are granted or denied a discharge), or has not paid a debt that is dischargeable in the Chapter 11 Cases.

 

J. Recoupment.

In no event shall any Holder of Claims or Interests be entitled to recoup any Claim against any claim, right, or Cause of Action of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, unless such Holder actually has performed such recoupment and provided notice thereof in writing to the Debtors on or before the Confirmation Date, notwithstanding any indication in any Proof of Claim or Proof of Interest or otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of recoupment.

 

K. Document Retention.

On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may maintain documents in accordance with their standard document retention policy, as may be altered, amended, modified, or supplemented by the Reorganized Debtors.

  within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(G) of the Code; (ii) the Distribution constitutes a transaction qualifying under Sections 355 and 356 of the Code; and (iii) the Contribution, the Reorganized TCEH Conversion and the Distribution are not used principally as a device for the distribution of earnings and profits of the Company or Reorganized TCEH and (y) the failure of the Private Letter Ruling to include any one or more of the Fundamental Rulings will be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory; provided, further, however, that (A) a particular ruling that, in the reasonable determination of EFH Corp., TCEH, and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors, covers substantially the same subject matter as any one or more of the Fundamental Rulings shall not be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory to EFH Corp., TCEH, and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors due to its failure to include such particular Fundamental Ruling; (B) in the event a specific Fundamental Ruling is not given because the IRS communicates that there is no substantial issue with respect to the requested ruling, the absence of such ruling shall not be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory to EFH Corp., TCEH, and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors provided that EFH Corp. obtains an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel, in form and substance acceptable to the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors in their reasonable discretion, at a “will” level with respect to the issue that was the subject of the Fundamental Ruling; or (C) a pre-filing agreement (including an agreement in accordance with Revenue Procedure 2009-14) or closing agreement with the IRS shall be acceptable in lieu of any such specific Fundamental Ruling, provided that such agreement is both (i) binding on the IRS to the same degree as a private letter ruling or is otherwise acceptable to EFH Corp., TCEH, and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors in their reasonable discretion and (ii) contains, in the reasonable determination of EFH Corp., TCEH, and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors, conclusions that are substantially similar, and have substantially the same practical effect, to those contained in the Fundamental Rulings; provided, however, that the failure to obtain a ruling that provides that Reorganized TCEH and the Preferred Stock Entity have never been a member of the EFH Group shall not, standing alone, be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory; provided further, however, that with respect to any of the rulings described in clauses (b) (section 368 continuity of interest), (d) (active trade or business), (f) (section 355 continuity of interest), and (g) (section 355(d)) in the definition of “TCEH Fundamental Rulings,” if such rulings cannot be obtained because insufficient information is available regarding the reorganization of the EFH Debtors and EFIH, but all other conditions to the TCEH Effective Date have been satisfied, then the condition to obtain such rulings shall be deemed to be satisfied by the provision of a representation that EFH Corp. has no plan or intention to enter into any transaction that is inconsistent with the Spin-Off Intended Tax Treatment; provided further, however, that the ruling described in (ii) of clause (g) of the definition of “Fundamental Rulings” shall not constitute a Fundamental Ruling in the event that the the Restructuring Transactions with respect to the EFH Debtors do not include the Merger; and

 

  (h) the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors shall have been given the right to participate with respect to the process of obtaining the Private Letter Ruling, including by (i) commenting on written submissions, (ii) having participation in in-person conferences, (iii) having participation in scheduled, substantive telephone conferences with the IRS and (iv) being updated promptly regarding any unscheduled communications with the IRS, provided, however, that the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors shall work in good faith with counsel for the Debtors to determine the appropriate level of participation by any other persons in any particular meeting or conference.

 

96


For the avoidance of doubt, consummation of the Spin-Off or Taxable Separation and the occurrence of the TCEH Effective Date shall be conditioned solely on the conditions precedent to the TCEH Effective Date enumerated in this Article IX.C, and the TCEH Effective Date may occur prior to the EFH Effective Date

 

D. Conditions Precedent to the EFH Effective Date.

It shall be a condition to the Effective Date that the following conditions shall have been satisfied or waived pursuant to the provisions of Article IX.E of the Plan:

1. the Confirmation Order shall have been duly entered in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the EFH Debtors, EFIH Debtors, and Plan Sponsors;

2. the Settlement Order shall remain in full force and effect;

3. the final version of the Plan, the Plan Supplement, and all of the schedules, documents, and exhibits contained therein shall have been Filed in a manner consistent in all material respects with the Plan, the Transaction Agreements, the Plan Support Agreement, and the Settlement Order, and shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the EFH Debtors, EFIH Debtors, and the Plan Sponsors;

4. all Allowed Professional Fee Claims with respect to the EFH Debtors and EFIH Debtors approved by the Bankruptcy Court shall have been paid in full or amounts sufficient to pay such Allowed Professional Fee Claims after the EFH Effective Date have been placed in the Professional Fee Escrow Account pending approval of the Professional Fee Claims by the Bankruptcy Court;

5. (i) no Debtor shall have taken any action that results in an ownership change of EFH Corp. within the meaning of Section 382(g) of the Internal Revenue Code (including by treating the equity interests of EFH Corp. as becoming worthless within the meaning of Section 382(g)(4)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code); and (ii) Texas Holdings shall not have (A) taken any action that results in an ownership change of EFH Corp. within the meaning of Section 382(g) of the Internal Revenue Code (including by treating the equity interests of EFH Corp. as becoming worthless within the meaning of Section 382(g)(4)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code and thereby resulting in an ownership change of EFH Corp. within the meaning of Section 382(g) of the Internal Revenue Code); (B) knowingly permitted any person (other than Texas Holdings) to own directly, indirectly or constructively (by operation of Section 318 as modified by Section 382(l)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code) 50% or more of the equity interests of EFH Corp. during the three-year period ending on the Effective Date; or (C) changed its taxable year to be other than the calendar year;

6. the EFH Debtors and EFIH Debtors shall have obtained all authorizations, consents, regulatory approvals, rulings, or documents that are necessary to implement and effectuate the Restructuring Transactions with respect to the EFH Debtors, including the Equity Investment, if any, and the transactions contemplated thereby, including from the FERC, PUC, and FCC, as applicable;

 

97


7. all conditions to the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements shall have been satisfied or shall have been waived by the party entitled to waive them, and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements shall be completed;

8. all Claims against the EFH Debtors and/or the EFIH Debtors with respect to any Makewhole Claim shall be Disallowed Makewhole Claims; and

9. the Debtors and Oncor shall have implemented the Restructuring Transactions, including the Merger and the Equity Investment, as applicable, in form and manner reasonably acceptable to the Plan Sponsors, and consistent in all material respects with the Plan and the Transaction Documents; provided, however, that implementation or consummation of the Minority Buy-Out shall not be a condition to the EFH Effective Date

 

E. Waiver of Conditions.

Except with respect to Article IX.C.4, the conditions to Confirmation with respect to the TCEH Debtors and the TCEH Effective Date set forth in this Article IX may be waived by the TCEH Debtors, including, in the case of any Conflict Matter between any Debtors, each Debtor acting at the direction of its respective Disinterested Director or Manager and without the consent of any other Debtor, with the consent of the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, that in the event the condition to Consummation set forth in Article IX.C.8 is not satisfied, the TCEH Debtors may nevertheless consummate the Taxable Separation and the TCEH Effective Date may occur so long as the other conditions to Confirmation and Consummation have been satisfied or waived in accordance with this Article IX.E. Except with respect to Article IX.D.4, the conditions to Confirmation and the EFH Effective Date set forth in this Article IX may be waived by the EFH Debtors and EFIH Debtors, including, in the case of any Conflict Matter between any Debtors, each Debtor acting at the direction of its respective Disinterested Director or Manager and without the consent of any other Debtor, with the consent of the Plan Sponsors (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), and, with respect to the Pension Backstop Agreement under Article IX.D.9, with the consent of the PBGC.

 

F. Effect of Failure of Conditions.

Unless extended by the Debtors, including, in the case of any Conflict Matter between any Debtors, each Debtor acting at the direction of its respective Disinterested Director or Manager and without the consent of any other Debtor, if the Effective Date does not occur before one year following Confirmation, with respect to a particular Debtor, then, as to such particular Debtor: (1) the Plan shall be null and void in all respects; (2) any settlement or compromise embodied in the Plan, assumption or rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases effected under the Plan, and any document or agreement executed pursuant to the Plan, shall be deemed null and void; and (3) nothing contained in the Plan shall: (a) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action; (b) prejudice in any manner the rights of such Debtor or any other Entity; or (c) constitute an admission, acknowledgement, offer, or undertaking of any sort by such Debtor or any other Entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Settlement embodied in the Settlement Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the failure of Confirmation or Consummation to occur with respect to any or all Debtors shall not affect the Settlement or any provisions of the Settlement Agreement and (ii) if the Spin-Off is effectuated, the Approval Order shall remain in full force and effect and the failure of Confirmation or Consummation to occur with respect to any Debtor (other than a TCEH Debtor) shall not affect the Approval Order or the Tax Matters Agreement.

 

G. Certain IRS Matters.

The Plan provides that as a condition precedent to the TCEH Effective Date in the event of a Spin-Off, the Debtors must obtain a Private Letter Ruling containing several Fundamental Rulings. The U.S. and the Debtors acknowledge that the IRS may not rule on certain matters, may issue rulings adverse to the Debtors, or may decline to issue a Private Letter Ruling.

Nothing in the Plan (or subsequently amended Plan) or the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to waive the right of the IRS to object to confirmation of a subsequently amended Plan or alternative chapter 11 plan to the

 

98


extent the U.S. would be entitled to object to confirmation under applicable law, including to the extent that the Debtors choose to go forward with a chapter 11 plan that is premised on a taxable separation of TCEH from EFH Corp. and not a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(G) of the Internal Revenue Code. Specifically, the Debtors may not oppose the U.S.’s objection on the grounds of failure to file an earlier objection, equitable mootness, laches, estoppel, or a similar theory. The U.S. may move for a stay of the Effective Date in conjunction with its objection, and the Debtors’ right to object to any such motion are preserved.

Nothing in the Plan (or subsequently amended Plan) or Confirmation Order shall affect the rights of the IRS or United States to assess or collect a tax arising on or after the Confirmation Date against Reorganized EFH, any member of its consolidated group, and/or any successor entities as permitted under applicable law.

ARTICLE X.

MODIFICATION, REVOCATION, OR WITHDRAWAL OF THE PLAN

 

A. Modification and Amendments.

Subject to the Plan Support Agreement, each of the Debtors, including, in the case of any Conflict Matter between any Debtors, each Debtor acting at the direction of its respective Disinterested Director or Manager and without the consent of any other Debtor, reserves the right to modify the Plan, one or more times, before Confirmation, whether such modification is material or immaterial, and to seek Confirmation consistent with the Bankruptcy Code. Subject to certain restrictions and requirements set forth in section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019, each of the Debtors, including, in the case of any Conflict Matter between any Debtors, each of the Debtors acting at the direction of its respective Disinterested Director or Manager and without the consent of any other Debtor, expressly reserves its respective rights to alter, amend, or modify the Plan, one or more times, after Confirmation and, to the extent necessary, may initiate proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court to so alter, amend, or modify the Plan, or remedy any defect or omission, or reconcile any inconsistencies in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or the Confirmation Order, including with respect to such modifications. Any modification to the Plan shall be in accordance with the Plan Support Agreement and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Plan Sponsors, if any (with respect to the Plan of the EFH Debtors and EFIH Debtors) and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors (with respect to the Plan of the TCEH Debtors), and the DIP Agents (and solely with respect to the repayment of the DIP Facilities, acceptable to the DIP Agents). The Debtors may not amend the Plan in a manner inconsistent with the EFH/EFIH Committee Settlement without the prior consent of the EFH/EFIH Committee and the EFH Notes Trustee.

 

B. Effect of Confirmation on Modifications.

Entry of a Confirmation Order shall mean that all modifications or amendments to the Plan since the solicitation thereof are approved pursuant to section 1127(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and do not require additional disclosure or resolicitation under Bankruptcy Rule 3019.

 

C. Revocation or Withdrawal of Plan.

Subject to the Plan Support Agreement, each of the Debtors, including, in the case of any Conflict Matter between any Debtors, each Debtor acting at the direction of its respective Disinterested Director or Manager and without the consent of any other Debtor, reserves the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan before the Confirmation Date and to File subsequent plans for any reason, including to the extent the Debtors receive a higher or otherwise better offer than what is provided for in the Plan, or if pursuing Confirmation of the Plan would be inconsistent with any Debtor’s fiduciary duties; provided, however, that the Debtors shall not seek to revoke or withdraw the Plan with respect to the TCEH Debtors without the consent of the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided further, however, that the Debtors may withdraw support of the Plan with respect to the TCEH Debtors without any party’s consent. If any of the Debtors revoke or withdraw the Plan, or if Confirmation or Consummation does not occur, then: (1) the Plan shall be null and void in all respects; (2) any settlement or compromise embodied in the Plan (other than the Settlement embodied in the Settlement Agreement), assumption or rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases effected under the Plan, and any document or agreement executed pursuant to the Plan, shall be deemed null and void; and (3) nothing contained in the Plan shall: (a) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action; (b) prejudice in any manner the rights of such Debtor or any other Entity; or (c) constitute an admission, acknowledgement, offer, or undertaking of any sort by such Debtor or any other Entity.

 

99

Nothing in the Plan or the Confirmation Order affects the DIP Lenders’ rights or interests provided under the DIP Facilities, the DIP Agreements, or the DIP Orders, including with respect to (1) any waivers or releases contained therein or (2) the DIP Agents’ rights to exercise event of default remedies (including after the Confirmation Date and before the Effective Date), until the DIP Claims are satisfied in full.

 

101


B. Additional Documents.

On or before the Effective Date, the Debtors may File with the Bankruptcy Court such agreements and other documents as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and all Holders of Claims and Interests receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan and all other parties in interest shall, from time to time, prepare, execute, and deliver any agreements or documents and take any other actions as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions and intent of the Plan.

 

C. Payment of Statutory Fees.

All fees payable pursuant to section 1930(a) of the Judicial Code, including fees and expenses payable to the U.S. Trustee, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court at a hearing pursuant to section 1128 of the Bankruptcy Code, will be paid by each of the applicable Reorganized Debtors (or the Disbursing Agent on behalf of each of the applicable Reorganized Debtors) for each quarter (including any fraction thereof) until the applicable Chapter 11 Case of such Reorganized Debtors is converted, dismissed, or closed, whichever occurs first. All such fees due and payable prior to the Effective Date shall be paid by the Debtors on the Effective Date. After the Effective Date, the Disbursing Agent or the applicable Reorganized Debtor shall pay any and all such fees when due and payable, and shall file with the Bankruptcy Court quarterly reports in a form reasonably acceptable to the U.S. Trustee, until the earliest of the date on which the applicable Chapter 11 Case of the Reorganized Debtors is converted, dismissed, or closed.

 

D. Statutory Committee and Cessation of Fee and Expense Payment.

On the TCEH Effective Date, any statutory committee appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases with respect to the TCEH Debtors (including the TCEH Committee) and, on the EFH Effective Date, any statutory committee appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases with respect to the EFH Debtors or the EFIH Debtors (including the EFH/EFIH Committee) shall dissolve; provided, however, that, following the Effective Date, the EFH/EFIH Committee and the TCEH Committee shall continue in existence and have standing and a right to be heard for the following limited purposes: (i) Claims and/or applications, and any relief related thereto, for compensation by professionals and requests for allowance of Administrative Claims for substantial contribution pursuant to section 503(b)(3)(D) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (ii) appeals of the Confirmation Order as to which the EFH/EFIH Committee or TCEH Committee, as applicable, is a party. Upon dissolution of the EFH/EFIH Committee and TCEH Committee, the members thereof and their respective officers, employees, counsel, advisors, and agents shall be released and discharged from all rights and duties from or related to the Chapter 11 Cases. The Reorganized Debtors shall no longer be responsible for paying any fees or expenses incurred by the members of or advisors to any statutory committees after the Effective Date, except to as to the continued limited purposes identified above or as otherwise provided.

F. Successors and Assigns.

The rights, benefits, and obligations of any Entity named or referred to in the Plan shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of any heir, executor, administrator, successor, assign, affiliate, officer, director, manager, agent, representative, attorney, beneficiaries, or guardian, if any, of each Entity.

 

102

All notices, requests, and demands to or upon the Debtors to be effective shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission) and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when actually delivered or, in the case of notice by facsimile transmission, when received and telephonically confirmed, addressed as follows:

105


J. Entire Agreement.

Except as otherwise indicated, the Plan supersedes all previous and contemporaneous negotiations, promises, covenants, agreements, understandings, and representations on such subjects, all of which have become merged and integrated into the Plan.

 

K. Exhibits.

All exhibits and documents included in the Plan Supplement are incorporated into and are a part of the Plan as if set forth in full in the Plan.

L. Nonseverability of Plan Provisions.

If, before Confirmation, any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court shall have the power to 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 will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated by such holding, alteration, or interpretation. The Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is: (1) valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms; (2) integral to the Plan and may not be deleted or modified without the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ consent, as applicable; and (3) nonseverable and mutually dependent.

O. Conflicts.

Except as set forth in the Plan, to the extent that any provision of the Disclosure Statement, the Plan Supplement, the Merger and Purchase Agreement, the Backstop Agreement, or any agreement or order (other than the Confirmation Order) referenced in the Plan (or any exhibits, schedules, appendices, supplements, or

 

106


amendments to any of the foregoing), conflict with or are in any way inconsistent with any provision of the Plan, the Plan shall govern and control; provided, however, with respect to any conflict or inconsistency between the Plan and the Confirmation Order, the Confirmation Order shall govern.

Tax Matters Agreement Term Sheet

EFH Corp.

Amended Tax Matters Agreement Term Sheet

Energy Future Holdings Corp. (“EFH Corp.”), Energy Future Intermediate Holding Company LLC (“EFIH”), Energy Future Competitive Holdings Company LLC (“EFCH”), Texas Competitive Electric Holdings Company LLC (“TCEH”), and their affiliated debtors and debtors in possession (collectively with EFH Corp., EFIH, EFCH, and TCEH, the “Debtors”) commenced cases under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) on April 29, 2014. The Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Debtors’ sixth amended chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the “Confirmed Plan”) on December 9, 2015 [D.I. 7285].

This term sheet (this “Term Sheet”) describes (a) certain terms of a potential amended version of the Tax Matters Agreement (the “TMA”) and (b) certain other conditions related to the TMA.1 The proposed terms and conditions set forth in this Term Sheet are intended merely as an outline of certain material terms of amendments to the TMA and certain other conditions and are provided for discussion purposes only and do not constitute an offer, agreement, or binding commitment by or on behalf of any party. Any such obligation will be created only by definitive agreements, the provisions of which will supersede this Term Sheet. This Term Sheet is a draft, is intended for discussion purposes, is subject to Federal Rule of Evidence 408, and is subject to ongoing material review and revision, including tax and securities review. This Term Sheet is confidential and subject to all applicable confidentiality agreements.

This Term Sheet is prepared in connection with a proposal for an Alternative Restructuring, as defined in and permitted by the Amended and Restated Plan Support Agreement, among the Debtors and the parties thereto, dated September 11, 2015 (the “PSA”). The Debtors continue to pursue the effectiveness of the Confirmed Plan consistent with their obligations under the PSA. The Debtors do not intend to file the New Plan absent a Plan Support Termination Event (as defined in the PSA).

 

1  Terms used by not defined in this Term Sheet have the meanings ascribed to them in the Confirmed Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Plan of Reorganization for the Alternative Restructuring will include a condition that the parties have entered into a TMA that is consistent with this Term Sheet.


Term

  

Description

Drafting Principles    Other than the matters specifically addressed in this Term Sheet, the provisions of the TMA shall be substantially similar to the provisions of the Tax Matters Agreement that was attached as an exhibit to the PSA (the “Existing TMA”).
Applicability of TMA to a Taxable Separation    The TMA shall also apply to a TCEH Plan that is consummated pursuant to a separation in a taxable transaction (a “Taxable Separation”), in which case the following provisions of this Term Sheet (other than “Enforcement,” “Consistency” and “Bankruptcy Court Jurisdiction”) shall not apply. In addition, Sections 2.01(d), 2.04(d)(ii), 2.04(d)(iii), 2.05 and 6.01 of the Existing TMA, together with other provisions to be mutually agreed by the Debtors and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors, shall not apply. For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a Taxable Separation, the Parties intend that the provisions of the TMA that apply in such a scenario shall generally provide for (1) customary information sharing, tax return preparation, tax audit and cooperation provisions; (2) Reorganized TCEH indemnification of the EFH Debtors or the Reorganized EFH Debtors with respect to tax liabilities of the TCEH Debtors or Reorganized TCEH (other than alternative minimum tax liability or any other income tax liability in connection with a Taxable Separation or related transactions); (3) Reorganized EFH indemnification of the Reorganized TCEH Debtors with respect to tax liabilities of the EFH Debtors or the Reorganized EFH Debtors; and (4) customary consistent treatment provisions with respect to the Intended Tax Treatment. Except as otherwise provided in the previous sentence, the scope of the indemnities described in clauses (2) and (3) above shall be similar to such indemnities in the Existing TMA (except to the extent relating to the spin-off and related transactions).
Covenants   

Section 6.01 of the Existing TMA shall continue to apply, including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any action or transaction by an EFH Party (or its subsidiaries, as applicable) pursuant to a plan of reorganization of any EFH Debtor or EFIH Debtors (an “EFH Plan”).

 

The following covenants (with respect to an EFH Party) shall be added to Section 6.01(b) of the TMA (provided, that covenant (b) shall not be limited by the two-year period set forth in Section 6.01(b)):

 

(a)    Propose or support an EFH Plan or any other transaction pursuant to which EFH or EFIH, directly or indirectly, transfers their indirect economic interest in Oncor, the consummation of which would breach the TMA.


Term

  

Description

  

(b)    Take any action outside the ordinary course of business that, in the reasonable determination of Reorganized TCEH, would give rise to $500 million or more of net taxable income recognized by the EFH Group (when combined with any other net taxable income of the EFH Group, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the net taxable income arising in connection with the Preferred Stock Sale) in the same taxable year as the Effective Date of the TCEH Plan.

  

The following covenants shall be added to the TMA:

 

(a)    If the TCEH Plan is consummated without receiving the TCEH Private Letter Ruling (or any TCEH Required Ruling), then EFH Corp. and EFIH shall continue to pursue the TCEH Private Letter Ruling until a determination is made by Reorganized TCEH (as determined by Reorganized TCEH under a reasonable exercise of its discretion) that the TCEH Private Letter Ruling (or any TCEH Required Ruling) cannot be obtained. Reorganized TCEH shall have the right to participate in any submissions related to the TCEH Private Letter Ruling, including by (i) commenting on written submissions, (ii) having participation in in-person conferences, (iii) having participation in scheduled, substantive telephone conferences with the IRS, and (iv) being updated promptly regarding any unscheduled communications with the IRS; provided, however, that Reorganized TCEH shall work in good faith with counsel for the Debtors to determine the appropriate level of participation by any other persons in any particular meeting or conference.

 

(b)    If the TCEH Plan is consummated after the receipt of the TCEH Private Letter Ruling, supplemental submissions with respect to the TCEH Private Letter Ruling shall be made to reflect any material developments with respect to the EFH Plan to the extent such developments implicate the Intended Tax Treatment (as determined by Reorganized TCEH under a reasonable exercise of its discretion). Reorganized TCEH shall have the right to participate in such supplemental submissions, including by (i) commenting on written submissions, (ii) having participation in in-person conferences, (iii) having


Term

  

Description

  

participation in scheduled, substantive telephone conferences with the IRS, and (iv) being updated promptly regarding any unscheduled communications with the IRS; provided, however, that Reorganized TCEH shall work in good faith with counsel for the Debtors to determine the appropriate level of participation by any other persons in any particular meeting or conference.

Provisions of EFH Plan    The TMA shall provide that in order for any EFH Plan to be approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the consummation of such EFH Plan must not have a material risk of causing an EFH Party to breach the TMA.
AMT Liability in Taxable Separation    In the case of a Taxable Separation, Reorganized TCEH shall not be liable for any alternative minimum tax liability, if any, arising as a result of the Taxable Separation.
Enforcement   

(a)    The Confirmation Order for any Alternative Restructuring shall authorize and direct execution of the TMA as of the TCEH Effective Date and will enjoin any actions taken in violation of the TMA and, upon approval, the TMA will be binding and enforceable against EFH, EFIH, their estates, and any chapter 7 or chapter 11 trustee appointed in either of their cases.

 

(b)    Until the Effective Date of an EFH Plan with respect to an EFH Debtor or an EFIH Debtor, the TMA shall be enforceable (with respect to such EFH Debtor or EFIH Debtor) by specific performance and may not be rejected or terminated by such EFH Debtor or EFIH Debtor.

 

(c)    Any claim against EFH Corp. or EFIH under the TMA shall be entitled to superpriority administrative claim status, junior only to (i) the EFIH First Lien DIP, (ii) the Carve-Out (as defined in the EFIH First Lien DIP Order), and (iii) any of the following fees owed by EFH Corp. (subject to the same caps applicable to the Carve-Out): (A) all fees required to be paid to the Clerk of the Court and to the Office of the United States Trustee under section 1930(a) of title 28 of the United States Code plus interest at the statutory rate; (B) reasonable fees and expenses incurred by a trustee under section 726(b) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (C) to the extent allowed at any time, whether by interim order, procedural order, or otherwise, all unpaid fees and expenses incurred by persons or firms retained by (1) the EFH Debtors, pursuant to section 327, 328, or 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (2) the EFH/EFIH Committee.


Term

  

Description

Consistency   

Each Party shall (and shall cause its subsidiaries to) take the position on all tax returns and in any audits or other proceedings before the IRS or any other taxing authority (including in supplemental ruling request submissions to the IRS), unless otherwise required by a final determination, that (i) the transactions contemplated by the TCEH Plan qualify for the Spin-Off Intended Tax Treatment (in the case of the Spin-Off) or the Taxable Separation Intended Tax Treatment (in the case of the Taxable Separation) and (ii) the fair market value of each Stepped-Up TCEH Asset on the TCEH Effective Date is equal to the value of such asset that has been reasonably agreed to by the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors and the Debtors.

 

Stepped-Up TCEH Asset” means, with respect to a TCEH Plan, any asset of the TCEH Debtors whose U.S. federal income tax basis immediately after the transactions contemplated by such TCEH Plan is determined by reference to its fair market value on the Effective Date in accordance with the Spin-Off Intended Tax Treatment or the Taxable Separation Intended Tax Treatment, as applicable.

Bankruptcy Court Jurisdiction    To the extent permitted by law, including the retention of jurisdiction provided by any plan of reorganization or confirmation order, the parties agree that the Bankruptcy Court shall hear and determine any bankruptcy-related matter that arises in connection with this Term Sheet or the TMA.
