ORDERED, ADJUDGED, DECREED, AND DETERMINED THAT :
1. Findings/Conclusions. The Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law set forth in the Amended Memorandum of Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law in Connection with Confirmation of the Third Amended Title III Plan of Adjustment of Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation are incorporated herein as though set forth in full. Notwithstanding such incorporation, the following summarizes certain of the Court's determinations:
(A) Pursuant to PROMESA, on May 3, 2017 and May 5, 2017, respectively, the Commonwealth and COFINA each commenced a federal case before the Court in accordance with the requirements of Title III of PROMESA. The commencement of these cases vested the Court with *261exclusive jurisdiction over the cases and all respective property of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and COFINA, wherever located. As a result of the consensual agreement among the Commonwealth, COFINA, and their respective creditor representatives, the parties formulated, duly solicited, and now seek confirmation of a plan of adjustment in accordance with federal law. The Plan and this Order quiet title to the COFINA Pledged Taxes and resolve all disputes of all parties relating thereto. Moreover, pursuant to PROMESA, and at the request of the Commonwealth and COFINA, the Court shall retain jurisdiction until the COFINA Bonds have been paid in full or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their terms to ensure compliance with the Plan and to adjudicate claims arising therefrom, including claims for specific performance.
(B) As set forth more fully in the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, the Court has made the following determinations pursuant to applicable law:
(ii) This Order is full, final, complete, conclusive, and binding and shall not be subject to collateral attack or other challenge in any court or other forum, except as permitted under applicable law. Confirmation of the Plan constitutes a judicial determination, pursuant to section 4 of PROMESA, that the terms of this Order shall prevail over any general or specific provisions of territory law, State law, or regulation that is inconsistent therewith.
(iii) The Court shall retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms hereof and of the Plan.
(iv) Subject to the occurrence of and upon the Effective Date, Reorganized COFINA shall be an independent public corporation and instrumentality of the Commonwealth, separate from the Commonwealth and any other instrumentality of the Commonwealth.
(v) Subject to the occurrence of and upon the Effective Date, ownership of the COFINA Revenues shall have been legally and validly transferred to Reorganized COFINA, and such transfer of ownership shall have been an absolute transfer of all legal and equitable right, title, and interest in the COFINA Revenues, free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances, and other interests of any party (except for the statutory lien that arises automatically, pursuant to the terms of the New Bond Legislation, to secure the COFINA Bonds).
(vi) Subject to the occurrence of and upon the Effective Date, the COFINA Revenues shall not constitute, and shall not be deemed to be, "available resources" or "available revenues" of the Commonwealth, as that term is used in the Puerto Rico Constitution (whether construed pursuant to the Spanish or English version of the Puerto Rico Constitution).
(vii) Subject to a "Quarterly Installment" funding construct to the extent certain conditions are satisfied, each fiscal year, until the COFINA Bonds are paid in full or otherwise satisfied in accordance *262with their terms, the first funds comprising the COFINA Pledged Taxes shall be transferred to and deposited with Reorganized COFINA until such time that Reorganized COFINA has received an amount equal to the COFINA Revenues for such fiscal year.
(viii) Reorganized COFINA's sole and exclusive ownership of the COFINA Revenues shall not be affected in any way by the manner of or control over collection, any person who collects or holds the COFINA Revenues shall do so on behalf of Reorganized COFINA, and no person or entity that collects or holds the COFINA Revenues shall have any legal or equitable right, title, or interest to the COFINA Revenues other than Reorganized COFINA, for the benefit of holders of the COFINA Bonds.
(ix) The statutory first lien against the COFINA Pledged Taxes (including any New Collateral substituted for the COFINA Pledged Taxes in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the New Bond Legislation) arising by operation of the New Bond Legislation in favor of holders of COFINA Bonds is legal, valid, binding and enforceable and shall remain in full force and effect and shall be "closed" until, in each case, the COFINA Bonds have been paid or satisfied in full in accordance with their terms.
(x) At the time of issuance and delivery of the COFINA Bonds, Reorganized COFINA is hereby directed to be stamped or written on each of the COFINA Bonds a legend substantially as follows:
DETERMINED BY THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF PUERTO RICO TO BE VALID, LEGALLY BINDING, AND ENFORCEABLE PURSUANT TO THE JUDGMENT AND CONFIRMATION ORDER, ENTERED ON THE 5TH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2019
(xi) The Commonwealth's agreement, on behalf of itself and its governmental entities, not to take any action that would, among other things, (a) impair COFINA's right to receive the COFINA Revenues, (b) limit or alter the rights vested in COFINA in accordance with the Plan to fulfill the terms of the COFINA Bonds, (c) materially adversely impair the collection of the COFINA Pledged Taxes in any fiscal year, or (d) impair the rights and remedies of the holders of the COFINA Bonds or the statutory lien established under Article 3.2 of the New Bond Legislation, each as provided in the New Bond Legislation and the New Bond Indenture, serve as adequate protection for the property interests of Reorganized COFINA and the holders of the COFINA Bonds in the COFINA Pledged Taxes under all applicable law, and constitute valid, binding, legal and enforceable obligations of COFINA, Reorganized COFINA, and the Commonwealth, as applicable, and an integral part of the settlements set forth in the Plan.
*263(xii) The covenants described in Sections 16.6 and 16.7 of the Plan (including, but not limited to, the rating agency covenant, the tax exemption covenant, the substitution covenant, the non-impairment covenant and the sales tax covenant), to be provided by Reorganized COFINA and the Commonwealth, as the case may be, to the holders of COFINA Bonds, shall constitute adequate protection for the property interests of Reorganized COFINA and the holders of COFINA Bonds in the COFINA Pledged Taxes under all applicable law.
2. Objections. All objections, responses to, and statements and comments, if any, in opposition to or inconsistent with the Plan shall be and hereby are, OVERRULED and DENIED in their entirety. All withdrawn objections are deemed withdrawn with prejudice.
3. Confirmation of the Plan. The Plan and each of its provisions shall be, and hereby are, CONFIRMED pursuant to section 314(b) of PROMESA.

4. Compromise of Commonwealth-COFINA Dispute. For the reasons stated herein and in the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, the provisions of the Plan and the Settlement Agreement constitute a good faith, reasonable, fair, and equitable compromise and settlement of all Claims and controversies resolved pursuant to the Plan, including, without limitation, the Settlement Agreement and the compromise and settlement of the Commonwealth-COFINA Dispute incorporated into the Plan, and the entry of this Order constitutes approval of all such compromises and settlements pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and sections 105(a) and 1123(b)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant to this Order and the Settlement Order, to the extent provided in the Plan and the Settlement Agreement, respectively, on the Effective Date, such compromises and settlements shall be binding upon COFINA, the Commonwealth, all Creditors of COFINA and the Commonwealth, and all other Entities and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be subject to collateral attack or other challenge in any court or other forum.
5. Settlement Agreement Approved. The Court (a) approves the Settlement Agreement as a good faith compromise that is fair and reasonable and in COFINA's best interests and integral to the Plan, and (b) upon the Effective Date, authorizes and directs the consummation of the Settlement Agreement by all parties thereto.
6. Plan Settlement Approved. The Court hereby approves the compromises and settlements embodied in the Plan as fair and reasonable and, as of the Effective Date of the Plan, authorizes and directs the consummation thereof.

As soon as practicable after entry of this Order, but in no event later than five (5) business days following the Effective Date, each of (a) the Commonwealth Agent, (b) the COFINA Agent, and (c) the Permitted Intervenors, as defined in prior orders of the Court in connection with the Adversary Proceeding, shall take any and all actions *264necessary to cause the dismissal, with prejudice, of the Adversary Proceeding and all other claims and causes of action asserted therein by the Commonwealth Agent, the COFINA Agent, and the Permitted Intervenors, including, without limitation, causing the entry of an order in the Adversary Proceeding evidencing such dismissal, with prejudice. Upon the dismissal, with prejudice, of the Adversary Proceeding, the Commonwealth Agent and the COFINA Agent and their respective professionals shall be deemed to have satisfied any and all of their respective obligations in connection with the Adversary Proceeding, and the Commonwealth Agent and the COFINA Agent shall be deemed to have been released from any and all liabilities associated therewith.
8. The Interpleader Action. As soon as practicable after entry of this Order, but in no event later than five (5) business days following the Effective Date, hereof and except with respect to (i) any Claims and causes of action asserted or that could have been asserted by BNYM against Ambac and Whitebox in the Interpleader Action and (ii) any non-released and non-dismissed counterclaims that may be asserted by either Ambac or Whitebox against BNYM therein for gross negligence, willful misconduct or intentional fraud, the parties to the Interpleader Action shall take any and all actions necessary to cause the dismissal, with prejudice, effective as of the Effective Date, of all other claims and causes of action asserted or that could have been asserted in the Interpleader Action, including, without limitation, filing a notice and obtaining an order of the Court with respect all such dismissed claims and causes of action.

On and after the Effective Date, the Debtor, Reorganized COFINA, and each of their respective authorized agents and representatives are authorized to (i) execute, deliver, file, or record such documents, contracts, instruments, releases, and other agreements, including, without limitation, those contained in the Second Amended Plan Supplement and the Settlement Agreement, (ii) make any and all distributions and transfers contemplated pursuant to, and as provided for in, the Plan, the Second Amended Plan Supplement, and the Settlement Agreement, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to effectuate, implement, and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Settlement Agreement, including, among other things, all such actions delineated in Article XXVIII of the Plan, and (iv) direct or instruct BNYM, Depository Trust Company, or such other person or entity necessary to implement or effectuate the terms of the Trusts. On the Effective Date, the appropriate officers or representatives of the Debtor and Reorganized COFINA, as the case may be, and members of the boards of directors of the same, are authorized and empowered to issue, execute, file, and deliver or record such documents, contracts, instruments, releases, and other agreements, including those contained in the Second Amended Plan Supplement, contemplated by the Plan and the Settlement Agreement, and make, or cause to be made, any and all distributions and transfers contemplated pursuant to, and as provided for in, the Plan, the Second Amended Plan Supplement, and the Settlement Agreement, in the name of and on behalf of COFINA and Reorganized COFINA, as applicable.

11. Binding Effect.

12. Cancellation of Notes, Instruments, Certificates, and Other Documents. Pursuant to Section 19.6 of the Plan, and except (a) as provided in any contract, instrument or other agreement or document entered into or delivered in connection with the Plan, (b) for purposes of evidencing a right to distribution under the Plan, or (c) as specifically provided otherwise in the Plan (including any rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases pursuant to Section 18.1 of the Plan), on the Effective Date (and subject to the distribution of the COFINA Bonds in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan), the "Senior" and "First Subordinate" Existing Securities and all instruments and documents related thereto will be deemed automatically cancelled, terminated and of no further force or effect against COFINA without any further act or action under any applicable agreement, law, regulation, order or rule, with COFINA and BNYM having no continuing obligations or duties and responsibilities thereunder and the obligations of the parties to COFINA, as applicable, under the Existing Securities and all instruments and documents related thereto shall be discharged; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, the "Senior" and "First Subordinate" Existing Securities and such other instruments and documents shall continue in effect solely (i) to allow the Disbursing Agent to make any distributions as set forth in the Plan and to perform such other necessary administrative or other functions with respect thereto, (ii) to allow holders of Allowed Bond Claims to receive distributions in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan, (iii) for any trustee, agent, contract administrator or similar entity under all instruments and documents related thereto, including BNYM, to perform necessary functions, including making distributions, in accordance with the Plan and to have the benefit of all the rights and protections and other provisions of such instruments and documents, as applicable, and all other related agreements, including, without limitation, the right to payment of the Trustee Claims and the Trustee Rights, (iv) to set forth the terms and conditions applicable to parties to such documents and instruments other than COFINA, (v) to allow BNYM to appear in the Title III Case or *266any other proceeding in which BNYM is or becomes a party with respect to clauses (i) through (iv) above, as applicable or otherwise in connection with BNYM's role as trustee under the Bond Resolution, or (vi) subject to the terms of Sections 17.1, 17.2 and 30.7 of the Plan, as may be necessary to preserve any claims under the respective Insurance Policies by (1) the applicable holders of Allowed Senior COFINA Bond Claims (Ambac) that validly elected to receive Ambac Certificates or (2) the applicable holders of Allowed Senior COFINA Bond Claims (National) that validly elected to receive National Certificates; and, provided, further, that, BNYM shall have no duties or responsibilities with respect to any Existing Securities that may be held by the Trusts from and after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, such bonds or bond documents as remain outstanding shall not form the basis for the assertion of any Claim against COFINA or Reorganized COFINA, as the case may be.
13. Rejection or Assumption of Remaining Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. Pursuant to Section 18.1 of the Plan, except as otherwise provided herein, or in any contract instrument, release, or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan, as of the Effective Date, COFINA shall be deemed to have rejected each prepetition Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to which it is a party, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease (i) was assumed, assumed and assigned, or rejected pursuant to an order of the Court entered prior to the Effective Date, (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms or by agreement of the parties, (iii) is the subject of a motion to assume or assume and assign filed by the Debtor on or before the Confirmation Date, or (iv) is specifically designated as a contract or lease to be assumed or assumed and assigned on the schedules to the Second Amended Plan Supplement. This Order shall constitute an order of the Court pursuant to sections 365 and 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code approving the contract and lease assumptions or rejections described above, as of the Effective Date.
14. Insurance Policies. Subject to the terms and provisions of Section 18.7 of the Plan, each of COFINA's Insurance Policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto, are treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, on the Effective Date, COFINA shall, or shall cause BNYM, as trustee for the Existing Securities to, deposit or cause the deposit of all Insurance Policies and any agreements, documents and instruments relating to coverage of all insured Bond Claims into any applicable Trusts. To the extent any Insurance Policy is rejected pursuant to the Plan, such rejection shall not, and shall not be construed to, discharge or relieve any of Ambac or National with respect to their respective obligations to holders of Allowed Senior COFINA Bond Claims (Ambac) and Allowed Senior COFINA Bond Claims (National), respectively, that have elected to receive the relevant trust certificates in accordance with the Plan pursuant to the applicable Insurance Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Order or the Plan shall prejudice any subrogation, reimbursement, or similar rights of an insured against the applicable Trust or the assets thereof.
15. Objection to Cure Amounts; Rejection Damages Claims. If the rejection of an Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease by COFINA pursuant to the Plan results *267in damages to the other party or parties to such contract or lease, any claim for such damages, if not heretofore evidenced by a filed proof of Claim, shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against COFINA, or its properties or agents, successors, or assigns, including, without limitation, Reorganized COFINA, unless a proof of Claim is filed with the Title III Court and served upon attorneys for the Oversight Board and Reorganized COFINA, as the case may be, on or before thirty (30) days after the later to occur of (i) the Confirmation Date, and (ii) the date of entry of an order by the Court authorizing rejection of a particular Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease.
16. Payment of Cure Amounts. Any monetary amount required as a cure payment with respect to each prepetition executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the cure amount in Cash on the Effective Date or upon such other terms and dates as the parties to such executory contracts or unexpired leases and the Debtor, otherwise may agree.
17. Setoff. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in this Order, the Disbursing Agent may, pursuant to applicable bankruptcy or non-bankruptcy law, set off against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account thereof (before any distribution is made on account of such Claim by the Disbursing Agent), the claims, rights, and causes of action of any nature that COFINA or Reorganized COFINA hold against the holder of such Allowed Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by COFINA or Reorganized COFINA of any such claims, rights, and causes of action that COFINA or the Reorganized COFINA may possess against such holder; and, provided, further, that nothing contained herein is intended to limit the ability of any Creditor to effectuate rights of setoff or recoupment preserved or permitted by the provisions of sections 553, 555, 559, or 560 of the Bankruptcy Code or pursuant to the non-bankruptcy or common law right of recoupment; and, provided, further, that nothing in this paragraph shall affect the releases and injunctions provided in Article XXX of the Plan or herein.
18. Delivery of Distributions. Subject to the provisions of Rule 9010 of the Bankruptcy Rules, and except as provided in Section 19.5 of the Plan and herein, distributions and deliveries to holders of Allowed Claims shall be made at the address of each such holder as set forth on the Schedules filed with the Court, unless superseded by the address set forth on proofs of Claim filed by such holders, or at the last known address of such holder if no proof of Claim is filed or if COFINA has been notified in writing of a change of address; provided, however, that initial distributions of Cash by the Disbursing Agent for the benefit of holders of Allowed Senior COFINA Bond Claims, Allowed Senior COFINA Bond Claims (Ambac), Allowed Senior COFINA Bond Claims (National), Allowed Bond Claims (Taxable Election), Allowed Junior COFINA Bond Claims, Allowed Junior COFINA Bond Claims (Assured) and Allowed Junior COFINA Bond Claims (Taxable Election), as applicable, shall be made to BNYM, as trustee for the Existing Securities (or BNYM's designee) for such obligations; and, provided, further, that, on the Effective Date, the Disbursing Agent may make distributions of Consummation Costs in Cash to a Consummation Cost Party in a manner mutually agreed upon between the Consummation Cost Party and the Disbursing Agent.

38. Supplemental Injunction . Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Plan to the contrary, except to the limited extent provided in the Plan,6 all Entities, including Entities acting on their behalf, who currently hold or assert, have held or asserted, or may hold or assert, any Released Claims against any of the Released Parties based upon, attributable to, arising out of or relating to any Claim against COFINA, whenever and wherever arising or asserted, whether in the U.S. or anywhere else in the world, whether sounding in tort, contract, warranty, statute, or any other theory of law, equity or otherwise, shall be, and shall be deemed to be, permanently stayed, restrained and enjoined from taking any action against any of the Released Parties for the purpose of directly or indirectly collecting, recovering or receiving any payment or recovery with respect to any Released Claims *279arising prior to the Effective Date (including prior to the Petition Date), including, but not limited to:
(a) Commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind with respect to any such Released Claim against any of the Released Parties or the assets or property of any Released Party;
(b) Enforcing, attaching, collecting or recovering, by any manner or means, any judgment, award, decree or order against any of the Released Parties or the assets or property of any Released Party with respect to any such Released Claim;
(c) Creating, perfecting or enforcing any Lien of any kind against any of the Released Parties or the assets or property of any Released Party with respect to any such Released Claim;
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, this Order, or the Settlement Agreement, asserting, implementing or effectuating any setoff, right of subrogation, indemnity, contribution or recoupment of any kind against any obligation due to any of the Released Parties or against the property of any Released Party with respect to any such Released Claim; and
(e) Taking any act, in any manner, in any place whatsoever, that does not conform to, or comply with, the provisions of the Plan, this Order, or the Settlement Agreement relating to such Released Claim; provided, however, that the Debtors' compliance with the formal requirements of Bankruptcy Rule 3016 shall not constitute an admission that the Plan provides for any injunction against conduct not otherwise enjoined under the Bankruptcy Code.
39. COFINA Agent and Commonwealth Agent Releases and Exculpation. On the Effective Date, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, the COFINA Agent Releasees and the Commonwealth Agent Releasees shall be released from liability for all Claims and Causes of Action (as if such Causes of Action were against the COFINA Agent Releasees or the Commonwealth Agent Releasees, as applicable) with respect to the Adversary Proceeding and the Plan.
40. Term of Existing Injunctions or Stays. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or this Order, all injunctions or stays in effect in the Title III Case (pursuant to sections 105, 362, or 922 of the Bankruptcy Code or any order of the Title III Court) and existing on the Confirmation Date (excluding any injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or this Order) shall remain in full force and effect until the Effective Date. All injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or this Order shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.
41. Prosecution of Claims. Except as settled and released herein, from and after the Effective Date, Reorganized COFINA shall have the exclusive right and power to litigate any Claim or Cause of Action that constituted an Asset of COFINA, including, without limitation, any Avoidance Action, and any other Cause of Action, right to payment, or Claim that may be pending on the Effective Date or instituted by COFINA or Reorganized COFINA thereafter, to a Final Order, and may compromise and settle such claims, without approval of the Court.
42. Indemnification and Reimbursement Obligations. For purposes of the Plan, (i) to the extent executory in nature, the obligations of COFINA, including, without limitation, directors and officers insurance policies, to indemnify and reimburse its directors or officers that were directors or officers, respectively, on or *280prior to the Petition Date shall be deemed assumed as of the Effective Date and (ii) indemnification obligations of COFINA arising from conduct of officers and directors during the period from and after the Petition Date shall be Administrative Expense Claims.
43. Compliance with Tax Requirements. Any party issuing any instrument or making any distribution under the Plan shall comply with all applicable withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any United States federal, state or local tax law or Tax Authority, and all distributions under the Plan shall be subject to any such withholding or reporting requirements. Notwithstanding the above, each holder of an Allowed Claim that is to receive a distribution under the Plan shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any Taxes imposed on such holder by any governmental unit, including income, withholding and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution. Any party issuing any instrument or making any distribution under the Plan has the right, but not the obligation, to not make a distribution until such holder has made arrangements satisfactory to such issuing or disbursing party for payment of any such withholding tax obligations and, if any party issuing any instrument or making any distribution under the Plan fails to withhold with respect to any such holder's distribution, and is later held liable for the amount of such withholding, the holder shall reimburse such party. The Disbursing Agent or the trustee of the applicable Trust may require, as a condition to the receipt of a distribution (including the applicable trust certificates), that the holder complete the appropriate Form W-8 or Form W-9, as applicable to each holder. If the holder fails to comply with such a request within one year, such distribution shall be deemed an Unclaimed Distribution.
44. Documents and Instruments. Each federal, state, commonwealth, local, foreign, or other governmental agency is hereby authorized to accept any and all documents and instruments necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement or consummate the transactions contemplated by the Plan, the Settlement Agreement, and this Order.
45. Reversal/Stay/Modification/Vacatur of Order. Except as otherwise provided in this Order, if any or all of the provisions of this Order are hereafter reversed, modified, vacated, or stayed by subsequent order of this Court, or any other court, such reversal, stay, modification, or vacatur shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any act, obligation, indebtedness, liability, priority, or lien incurred or undertaken by COFINA or Reorganized COFINA, as applicable, prior to the effective date of such reversal, stay, modification, or vacatur. Notwithstanding any such reversal, stay, modification, or vacatur of this Order, any such act or obligation incurred or undertaken pursuant to, or in reliance on, this Order prior to the effective date of such reversal, stay, modification, or vacatur shall be governed in all respect by the provisions of this Order, the Settlement Agreement, and the Plan. To the extent not specifically reversed, modified, vacated, or stayed by an order of this Court, all existing orders entered in this Title III Case remain in full force and effect.
46. Retention of Jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the entry of this Order or the occurrence of the Effective Date, subject to the terms and provisions of Article XXIX of the Plan, and except as otherwise provided in the Plan or herein, pursuant to sections 105, 945(a), and 1142(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, this Court shall retain *281exclusive jurisdiction over all matters arising out of, and related to, the Title III Case to the fullest extent as is legally permissible, including, but not limited to, jurisdiction over the matters set forth in Article XXIX of the Plan.
47. Conflicts Among Order, Plan, and Settlement Order. The provisions of the Plan, this Order, and the Settlement Order shall be construed in a manner consistent with each other so as to effect the purpose of each; provided, however that, in the event of any inconsistency between the Settlement Order, the Plan or this Order, the documents shall control in the following order of priority: (i) the Settlement Order, (ii) this Order, and (iii) the Plan; and, provided, further, that, in the event of any inconsistency between this Order and any other order in the COFINA Title III Case, and Commonwealth Title III Case, the Adversary Proceeding, or the Interpleader Action, the terms and provisions of this Order shall control; and, provided, further, that nothing contained herein is intended, nor shall be construed, to modify the economic terms of the Plan.
48. Collective Action. No "Holder" (as defined in the New Bond Indenture) of any of the COFINA Bonds or COFINA Parity Bonds or both (solely in its capacity as a Holder of such bonds) shall have any right to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law for the execution of any trust under the New Bond Indenture or otherwise, or for any other remedy under the New Bond Indenture or otherwise, in each case unless such Holder shall have complied with Section 11.07 of the New Bond Indenture (as may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such Holder shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such COFINA Bond or COFINA Parity Bond on the stated maturity expressed in such bond (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date or, in the case of interest, on the interest payment date on which such interest is due) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
49. Modifications. Before substantial consummation of the Plan, the Oversight Board may modify the Plan at any time after entry of this Order; provided, however, that the circumstances warrant such modification and the Court, after notice and a hearing, confirms such plan as under the applicable legal requirements.
50. Provisions of Plan and Order Nonseverable and Mutually Dependent. The provisions of the Plan and this Order, including the findings of fact and conclusions of law set forth in the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, are nonseverable and mutually dependent.
51. Governing Law. Except to the extent that other federal law is applicable, or to the extent that an exhibit to the Plan or any document to be entered into in connection with the Plan provides otherwise, the rights, duties, and obligations arising under the Plan shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, PROMESA (including the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code made applicable under section 301 of PROMESA) and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.
52. Applicable Nonbankruptcy Law. Pursuant to section 1123(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable to the COFINA Title III Case pursuant to PROMESA section 301(a), the provisions of this Order and the Plan shall apply and be enforceable notwithstanding any otherwise applicable *282nonbankruptcy law. The documents contained in the Second Amended Plan Supplement (as such documents may be further modified and filed with the Court prior to the Effective Date), including, without limitation, Reorganized COFINA By-Laws, the COFINA Bonds, the New Bond Indenture, the Instructions Agreement, the Ambac Trust Agreement, the National Trust Agreement, the Standard Terms to National Trust Agreement, the Remarketing Agreement, and the Continuing Disclosure Agreement provide adequate means for implementation of the Plan pursuant to section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, and, as of the occurrence of the Effective Date, shall constitute valid legal obligations of COFINA and the Commonwealth, as applicable, and valid provisions to pay to secure payment of the COFINA Bonds pursuant to section 944(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, and be enforceable in accordance with their terms.
53. Non-Effect on Other Actions. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the Plan or in this Order shall release, discharge, enjoin, provide exculpation with respect to, or otherwise affect, any claim, cause of action, or litigation not directly related to COFINA, including, without limitation, (i) Adversary Proceeding No. 18-0059-LTS in Case No. 17 BK 3283-LTS (D.P.R.), (ii) Adversary Proceeding No. 17-155-LTS in Case No. 17 BK 3283-LTS (D.P.R.), (iii) Adversary Proceeding No. 17-156-LTS in Case No. 17 BK-3567-LTS (D.P.R.), (iv) Adversary Proceeding No. 18-87 in Case No. 17 BK 3283-LTS (D.P.R.), (v) Case No. 18-1165 (1st Cir.); (vi) Case No. 18-1166 (1st Cir.); (vii) Case No. 18-1746 (1st Cir.); and (viii) except as provided herein, the Appointments Related Litigation.
54. Use of Commonwealth Funds. Except as expressly set forth in the Plan Support Agreement, certain parties thereto reserve their right, if any, to contest in the Commonwealth Title III Case the Commonwealth's (a) use, or direction of the use, of monies received by the Commonwealth or to be received by the Commonwealth and (b) deposit or other use, or direction of the use, of such monies.
55. Waiver of Filings. Any requirement pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1007 obligating the Debtor to file any list, schedule, or statement with the Court or the Office of the U.S. Trustee is hereby waived as to any such list, schedule, or statement not filed as of the Effective Date.
56. Notice of Order. In accordance with Bankruptcy Rules 2002 and 3020(c), as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, the Debtor shall serve notice of the entry of this Order and the occurrence of the Effective Date, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto, to all parties who hold a Claim in the COFINA Title III Case, as well as the Creditors' Committee, the U.S. Trustee, any party filing a notice pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, and the United States Attorney for the District of Puerto Rico. Such notice is hereby approved in all respects and shall be deemed good and sufficient notice of entry of this Order.
57. Waiver of Stay. The stay of this Order otherwise imposed by Bankruptcy Rule 3020(e) is hereby waived as of the date hereof.
58. No Waiver. The failure to specifically include any particular provision of the Plan in this Order will not diminish the effectiveness of such provision nor constitute a waiver thereof, it being the intent of this Court that the Plan is confirmed in its entirety and incorporated herein by this reference.

*329Global Ratings or Moody's Investor Service, Inc., or its respective successor, confirm that ratings of the COFINA Bonds and the COFINA Parity Bonds will not be downgraded and (without regard to bond insurance or other third party credit enhancement) will be rated at least A2/A category or higher following such reduction; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, until all obligations with respect to the COFINA Bonds and COFINA Parity Bonds have been paid or satisfied in full in accordance with their terms, if the rate of the COFINA Pledged Taxes is reduced below three percent (3%), then such reduction shall constitute a "Substitution of Collateral" and shall be subject to the terms and provisions of Section 16.7 hereof.
(b) Non-Impairment Covenant: The Commonwealth will covenant for the benefit of all initial and subsequent holders of COFINA Bonds and COFINA Parity Bonds, that, until all obligations with respect thereto have been paid or satisfied in full in accordance with their terms, the Commonwealth will take no action that would (1) impair Reorganized COFINA's right to receive the COFINA Portion, (2) limit or alter the rights vested in COFINA or Reorganized COFINA in accordance with the Plan and the Confirmation Order to fulfill the terms of any agreements with the holders of COFINA Bonds and COFINA Parity Bonds, (3) materially adversely impair the collection of COFINA Pledged Taxes in any FY, or (4) impair the rights and remedies of the holders of the COFINA Bonds or COFINA Parity Bonds or the collateral security thereof.

ARTICLE XVII
THE TRUSTS
17.1 Terms of Ambac Trust:
(a) General Terms: On or prior to the Effective Date, COFINA shall establish the Ambac Trust, solely on behalf, and for the benefit, of beneficial holders of Allowed Senior COFINA Bond Claims (Ambac) that validly elect to receive the Ambac Certificates in accordance with the approved solicitation procedures pursuant to the Disclosure Statement Order and set forth on the Ballot/Election Form. On the Effective Date, the following Ambac Trust Assets shall be deposited (or deemed deposited) into the Ambac Trust: (1) the Ambac Insured Bonds allocable to such electing holders of Allowed Senior COFINA Bond Claims (Ambac), (2) the Senior COFINA Bond Distribution (consisting of Section 103 Cash, if applicable, COFINA Cash Available for Distribution, COFINA Bonds and Rounding Amount Cash, if necessary) allocable to such electing holders of Allowed Senior COFINA Bond Claims (Ambac) and (3) the benefit of the Ambac Insurance Policy. The COFINA Bonds shall consist of Taxable COFINA Bonds and Tax-Exempt COFINA Bonds. Notwithstanding the deposit of such holders' Ambac Insured Bonds in the Ambac Trust, such Ambac Insured Bonds shall not be cancelled and all rights and remedies under and in accordance with such Ambac Insured Bonds, the Bond Resolution (other than with respect to the payment and other obligations of COFINA and the Commonwealth thereunder) and the Ambac Insurance Policy shall be preserved and remain in full force and effect. The Ambac Trust shall be the owner of any Ambac Insured Bonds deposited therein, provided that all *331rights with respect to such Ambac Insured Bonds shall be subject to the terms of the trust agreement.
Upon deposit of the Ambac Trust Assets, the trustee shall issue two series of Ambac Certificates, (i) a series with a mandatory redemption date of August 1, 2047, and (ii) a series with a mandatory redemption date of August 1, 2054 ("Series 2054"), to the holders of Allowed Senior COFINA Bond Claims (Ambac) that validly elected to receive the Ambac Certificates. The Ambac Certificates shall provide for payments in accordance with the scheduled sinking fund payments with respect to Series 2054 and the maturity date of such holder's Ambac Insured Bonds. The scheduled sinking fund payment dates for Series 2054 shall be August 1, 2048, August 1, 2049, August 1, 2050, August 1, 2051, August 1, 2052 and August 1, 2053. Subject to the terms of the trust agreement, each series of Ambac Certificates shall bear unique CUSIPs and be freely tradeable and transferrable through The Depository Trust Company. Each class of Ambac Certificates will have its own class accretion schedule that sets forth the accreted payment amounts as of any date. Ambac shall not insure any payments on the Ambac Certificates, shall not be required to pay any default or other interest amounts with respect to the Ambac Insured Bonds, and is only required to pay its obligations under the Ambac Insurance Policy as provided therein and in the trust agreement. In addition, Ambac shall have the right, but not any obligation, to make payments in whole or in part under the Ambac Insurance Policy prior to the applicable mandatory redemption date for a class of Ambac Certificates. To the extent Ambac determines, in its sole discretion, to make any earlier payment under the Ambac Insurance Policy, upon such payment, the remaining obligations of Ambac with respect to such Ambac Insurance Policy shall result in the recalibration of the related class accretion schedules. Upon repayment or redemption of all Ambac Certificates, Ambac shall be entitled to receive all remaining assets in the Ambac Trust.
Other than with respect to their differing mandatory redemption dates and accretion schedules, each class of the Ambac Certificates shall have substantially the same terms and entitle the holder thereof to its pro rata share of distributions made by the Ambac Trust. Each distribution on the Ambac Certificates (whether or not taxable to a holder or reduced by withholding or tax payments made by the Ambac Trust) shall reduce the related obligation of Ambac under the Ambac Insurance Policy, shall be deemed to reduce the amount outstanding on the Ambac Insured Bonds, and shall result in the recalibration of the related class accretion schedules. The Ambac Trust will distribute all payments received on the Tax-Exempt COFINA Bonds to holders of the Ambac Certificates promptly following receipt thereof in accordance with the trust agreement. Ambac may elect, in its sole discretion, to distribute from time to time payments received on account of the Taxable COFINA Bonds to holders of the Ambac Certificates or to reinvest such payments in investments permitted by the terms of the trust agreement; provided, however, that the Ambac Trust shall have no obligation to distribute such payments prior to the applicable mandatory redemption date for a series. In addition, Ambac may, in its sole and absolute discretion, direct the Ambac Trust to sell all or any portion of the COFINA Bonds held by the Ambac Trust in accordance with the terms of the trust agreement and thereafter, if such COFINA Bonds are Tax-Exempt COFINA Bonds, direct the Ambac Trust to distribute the *332proceeds of such sale to the holders of the Ambac Certificates and, if such COFINA Bonds are Taxable COFINA Bonds, direct the Ambac Trust to distribute the proceeds of such sale to the holders of Ambac Certificates or retain the proceeds of such sale in the Ambac Trust. Ambac may, in its sole and absolute discretion, distribute Ambac Trust Assets held by the Ambac Trust to the holders of the Ambac Certificates, at a market value calculated in accordance with the terms and provisions of the trust agreement, and, upon such distribution, the applicable portion of each holder's Ambac Certificates shall be cancelled. Ambac shall be deemed the sole holder of the COFINA Bonds in the Ambac Trust with respect to voting, amendment, acceleration, events of default and election and direction of rights and remedies, including, without limitation, in connection with insolvency proceedings. Taxes on any investment earnings, shall be paid out of the Ambac Trust Assets.
The Ambac Trust agreement will provide that (a) all rights of a holder of COFINA Bonds held by the Ambac Trust (whether as to amendments and consents, direction of remedies or otherwise) shall be exercisable solely by Ambac and no holder of the Ambac Certificates shall be entitled to any right with respect to the COFINA Bonds and (b) Ambac may, at its option, elect to direct a distribution of a proportional percentage of the underlying COFINA Bonds to individual holders of Ambac Certificates upon the release of such holder's claims on the related Ambac Insurance Policy and against the Ambac Trust. Such distribution and release shall not give rise to any other holder of Ambac Certificates asserting a right to receive the same treatment.
On the Effective Date, unless otherwise agreed to by Ambac, the position at the Depository Trust Company with respect to each Ambac Insured Bond deposited, or deemed deposited, into the Ambac Trust pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Plan shall become zero and the Ambac Trust shall be deemed the sole holder of such Ambac Insured Bonds.
(b) Costs and Expenses: All fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with transactions contemplated pursuant to Section 17.1 hereof, including, without limitation, fees and expenses associated with the formation and maintenance of the Ambac Trust and the fees and expenses incurred by the trustee of the Ambac Trust, shall be the sole obligation and responsibility of Ambac (solely with respect to the formation of the Ambac Trust) and the Ambac Trust, and not COFINA or Reorganized COFINA, as the case may be, and the failure of Ambac (solely with respect to the formation of the Ambac Trust) or the Ambac Trust to satisfy any such obligations shall release and discharge COFINA and Reorganized COFINA, as the case may be, from fulfilling any further obligations in connection with the Ambac Trust.
17.2 Terms of National Trusts: In the event that National declines to exercise the National Election, on or prior to the Effective Date, the National Trust shall be formed on behalf of, and for the sole benefit of beneficial holders of, National Insured Bonds that (a) elect to receive National Certificates on the Ballot/Election Form distributed in connection with the solicitation of acceptances and rejections of the Plan and (b) have not otherwise agreed to commute the National Insurance Policies on or prior to the Effective Date. The trustee of the National Trust shall be an entity that is a nationally recognized U.S. domiciled financial institution and fiduciary regularly acting as trustee in the municipal finance market. On the Effective Date, the National Trust Assets, consisting of (1) the *333National Insured Bonds that have not been commuted, (2) other than the portion distributable to commuting holders, all of the Senior COFINA Bond Distribution in respect of Senior COFINA Bond Claims (National) in accordance with the terms of Section 7.1 (b) hereof, (3) the National Insurance Policies and (4) the consideration to be distributed to National in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof, shall be deposited into the National Trust. The costs, including fees and expenses and any obligation arising under the Term Sheet or the Plan, associated with the formation and operation of the National Trust shall be paid out of the National Trust Assets. Notwithstanding the deposit therein, the National Insured Bonds shall not be cancelled and all rights and remedies under and in accordance with National Insured Bonds, the Bond Resolution (other than with respect to the payment obligations of COFINA) and the National Insurance Policies shall be preserved and remain in full force and effect. Upon deposit of the National Trust Assets, on a pro rata basis, the trust shall issue one or more series of National Certificates to the beneficial holders of Senior COFINA Bond Claims (National) whose allocable shares of the Senior COFINA Bond Distribution are deposited into the National Trust.
The National Certificates shall entitle a National Certificate Holder to its pro rata share of value in and any distribution of Cash from the respective National Trust, which distribution shall (1) in all cases, occur promptly upon receipt thereof by the National Trust and (2) automatically reduce the obligation outstanding under the National Insurance Policies as of the date of such distribution to National Certificate Holders in the amount of such distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, National's obligation to pay the scheduled Compounded Amount of the underlying National Insured Bonds as and when due shall, in all cases, continue to compound as scheduled to the date that the trustee of the National Trust actually makes payment to the National Certificate Holders. Each series of National Certificates shall bear unique CUSIPs and shall be freely tradable and transferable through the Depository Trust Company.
(a) Sale of COFINA Bonds: So long as National (i) is not in default under the National Insurance Policies and (ii) has not agreed to and has not become subject to regulatory supervision, rehabilitation or liquidation (or similar) proceedings, National (a) shall be deemed the sole holder of the COFINA Bonds in the National Trust with respect to voting, amendment, acceleration, events of default and election and direction of rights and remedies, including, without limitation, in connection with insolvency proceedings, and (b) may, at any time prior to dissolution of the National Trust, deliver or direct the trustee to deliver a Sale Notice to all National Certificate Holders, through Depository Trust Company or any similar means, setting forth its intention to sell, for Cash, all or a portion of the COFINA Bonds held in the National Trust. The Sale Proceeds of such a sale shall be promptly distributed to National Certificate Holders on a pro rata basis and, upon such distribution, shall automatically reduce the obligation outstanding under the National Insurance Policies as of the date and in the amount of such distribution to National Certificate Holders; provided, however, that each National Certificate Holder may elect (within a reasonable specified period of time to be negotiated) after delivery of the Sale Notice to receive its pro rata share of the COFINA Bonds for sale pursuant to the Sale Notice in lieu of its allocable share of the Sale Proceeds and, in accordance with *334such election, the obligation outstanding under the National Insurance Policies as of the date of such distribution shall be reduced automatically in an amount equal to the portion of the Sale Proceeds that would have been attributable to such COFINA Bonds if sold. Documentation related to the National Trust shall (i) be negotiated in good faith, (ii) be in form and substance acceptable to National and reasonably acceptable to the holders of National Insured Bonds that accepted the restructuring terms proposed by the Oversight Board and AAFAF on August 7, 2018 and are party to the Plan Support Agreement, and (iii) be included in a Plan Supplement.
To the extent that a holder of a Senior COFINA Bond Claim (National) agrees to commute the National Insurance Policies on or prior to the Effective Date, such holder shall receive a distribution from National and the holder thereof shall have no rights with respect to the National Insurance Policies, the National Trust or the National Certificates.
(b) Costs and Expenses: All fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with transactions contemplated pursuant to Section 17.2 hereof, including, without limitation, fees and expenses associated with the formation and maintenance of the National Trust and the fees and expenses incurred by the trustee of the National Trust, shall be the sole obligation and responsibility of National and not COFINA or Reorganized COFINA, as the case may be, and failure of National or the National Trust to satisfy any such obligations shall release and discharge COFINA and Reorganized COFINA, as the case may be, from fulfilling any further obligations in connection with the National Trust.
17.3 Existing Securities/BNYM Obligations : Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, including, without limitation, the provisions of this Article XVII, BNYM shall have no duties or responsibilities with respect to any Existing Securities that may be held by the Trusts from and after the Effective Date.

COFINA shall serve (y) notice of any Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed or assumed and assigned *335through the operation of this Section 18.1, by including a schedule of such contracts and leases in the Plan Supplement and (z) notice of any Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be rejected through the operation of this Section 18.1, by serving a separate notice to the relevant counterparties to such agreements. To the extent there are any amendments to such schedules, COFINA shall provide notice of any such amendments to the parties to the Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease affected thereby. The listing of a document on the schedules to the Plan Supplement or in any separate notice shall not constitute an admission by COFINA that such document is an Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease or that COFINA has any liability thereunder.
18.2 Approval of Rejection or Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases: Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Title III Court shall constitute approval, pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, of the rejection, assumption, or assumption and assignment, as the case may be, of an Executory Contract and an Unexpired Lease pursuant to Section 18.1 of the Plan.
18.3 Inclusiveness: Unless otherwise specified on the schedules to the Plan Supplement, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease listed or to be listed therein shall include any and all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument, or other document that in any manner affects such Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease, without regard to whether such agreement, instrument, or other document is listed on such schedule.
18.4 Cure of Defaults : Except to the extent that different treatment has been agreed to by the non-debtor party or parties to any Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed or assumed and assigned pursuant to Section 18.1 of the Plan, COFINA shall, pursuant to the provisions of section 1123(a)(5)(G) and 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code and consistent with the requirements of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, within at least twenty (20) days prior to the Confirmation Hearing, file with the Title III Court and serve by first class mail on each non-COFINA party to such Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases to be assumed pursuant to Section 18.1 of the Plan, a notice, which shall list the cure amount as to each executory contract or unexpired lease to be assumed or assumed and assigned. The parties to such Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases will have twenty (20) days from the date of service of such notice to file and serve any objection to the cure amounts listed by COFINA. If there are any objections filed, the Title III Court shall hold a hearing on a date to be set by the Title III Court.

18.5 Insurance Policies: Subject to the terms and provisions of Section 18.7 hereof, each of COFINA's *336Insurance Policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto, are treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan and to the extent executory in nature, on the Effective Date, COFINA shall, first, deposit all Insurance Policies and any agreements, documents and instruments relating to coverage of all insured Bond Claims into the applicable Trusts and, second, be deemed to have rejected all such Insurance Policies and any agreements, documents, and instruments relating to coverage of all insured Claims; provided, however, that, such rejection shall not, and shall not be construed to, discharge or relieve any of Ambac, Assured or National with respect to their respective obligations to holders of Allowed Senior COFINA Bond Claims (Ambac), Allowed Junior COFINA Bond Claims (Assured) and Allowed Senior COFINA Bond Claims (National), respectively, that have elected to receive the relevant trust certificates hereunder pursuant to the applicable Insurance Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall prejudice any subrogation, reimbursement, or similar rights of an insured against the applicable Trust or the assets thereof.
18.6 Rejection Damage Claims: If the rejection of an Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease by COFINA hereunder results in damages to the other party or parties to such contract or lease, any claim for such damages, if not heretofore evidenced by a filed proof of Claim, shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against COFINA, or its properties or agents, successors, or assigns, including, without limitation, Reorganized COFINA, unless a proof of Claim is filed with the Title III Court and served upon attorneys for the Oversight Board and Reorganized COFINA, as the case may be, on or before thirty (30) days after the late to occur of (i) the Confirmation Date, and (ii) the date of entry of an order by the Title III Court authorizing rejection of a particular Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease.
18.7 Indemnification and Reimbursement Obligations: For purposes of the Plan, (i) to the extent executory in nature, the obligations of COFINA, including, without limitation, directors and officers insurance policies, to indemnify and reimburse its directors or officers that were directors or officers, respectively, on or prior to the Petition Date shall be deemed assumed as of the Effective Date and (ii) indemnification obligations of COFINA arising from conduct of officers and directors during the period from and after the Petition Date shall be Administrative Expense Claims.
18.8 Nonoccurrence of Effective Date: In the event that the Effective Date does not occur, the Title III Court shall retain jurisdiction with respect to any request to extend the deadline for assuming or rejecting Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such deadline(s) have expired.
18.9 Reservation of Rights: Nothing contained in the Plan or the Plan Supplement shall constitute an admission by COFINA, Reorganized COFINA or any other party that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease or that COFINA 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, COFINA or Reorganized COFINA shall have forty-five (45) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.

19.5 Delivery of Distributions: Subject to the provisions of Rule 9010 of the Bankruptcy Rules, and except as provided herein, distributions and deliveries to holders of Allowed Claims shall be made at the address of each such holder as set forth on the Schedules filed with the Court, unless superseded by the address set forth on proofs of Claim filed by such holders, or at the last known address of such holder if no proof of Claim is filed or if COFINA has been notified in writing of a change of address; provided, however, that initial distributions of Cash by the Disbursing Agent for the benefit of holders of Allowed Senior COFINA Bond Claims, Allowed Senior COFINA Bond Claims (Ambac), Allowed Senior COFINA Bond Claims (National), Allowed Bond Claims (Taxable Election), Allowed Junior COFINA Bond Claims, Allowed Junior COFINA Bond Claims (Assured) and Allowed Junior COFINA Bond Claims (Taxable Election), as applicable, shall be made to BNYM, as trustee for the Existing Securities (or BNYM's designee) under the respective governing documents for such obligations; and, provided, further, that the Disbursing Agent may make distributions of Consummation Costs in Cash to a Consummation Cost Party in a manner mutually agreed upon between the Consummation Cost Party and the Disbursing Agent. BNYM (or BNYM's designee) shall, in turn, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan, distribute and deliver Cash and COFINA Bonds, as applicable, to Bondowners as of the Distribution Record Date, in the manner provided for in the applicable governing documents; provided, however, that, to the extent a holder of a Bond Claim elects to receive the trust certificate hereunder, BNYM will deposit such holder's distribution into the applicable Trust. BNYM may conclusively rely upon the distribution instructions received from COFINA or its agents with respect to the delivery of distributions in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section 19.5, including the contra-CUSIP positions and escrow positions set up by COFINA or its agents with the Depository Trust Company, and BNYM shall close and terminate the original CUSIPs after making initial distributions of COFINA Cash Available for Distribution, Section 103 Cash and Rounding Cash Amount and shall have no further distribution obligations thereafter. BNYM shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties, unless otherwise ordered by the Title III Court. BNYM shall only be required to make the distributions and deliveries described in this Section 19.5 and shall only be required to make such distributions and deliveries in accordance with the terms of the Confirmation Order and the Plan and shall have no liability for actions reasonably taken in accordance with the Confirmation Order, the Plan or in reasonable reliance upon information provided to BNYM by COFINA or its agents in accordance with the Confirmation Order, the Plan or in connection with distributions to be made hereunder and thereunder, except for liabilities resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all distributions are subject to the Trustee Rights; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, including, without limitation, Sections 19.6(iii) and 19.13 hereof, *339except as set forth in the following proviso, BNYM shall not exercise Trustee Rights on account of Trustee Claims that may arise from and after the Effective Date and no distribution to be made pursuant to the Plan, either through the Disbursing Agent or BNYM as trustee of the Existing Securities, shall be withheld as a result of, or on account of, the claims, causes of action and damages being asserted, or which could have been asserted, in the Ambac Action and the Whitebox Actions; and provided, further, that, with respect to Trustee Claims that may arise from and after the Effective Date as a result of, or on account of, the Ambac Action and the Whitebox Actions, respectively, at the Confirmation Hearing, the Title III Court shall determine (a) what amount, if any, shall be either (i) withheld by the Disbursing Agent or BNYM as trustee for the Existing Securities from distributions to be made to Ambac and Whitebox or (ii) posted by Ambac and Whitebox as collateral for the reimbursement of fees and expenses which may be incurred by BNYM in connection with the defense of the Ambac Action and the Whitebox Actions, and (b) whether BNYM shall be reimbursed by Ambac and Whitebox for the incurrence of any such fees and expenses from either the holdback amount or collateral posted and referred to in the preceding subsection (a) on a current basis or upon entry of a Final Order in connection with the Ambac Action and the Whitebox Actions, in each case, such determination and the fulfillment of any obligations of Ambac and Whitebox as a result thereof shall satisfy in full any obligations of COFINA and any rights of BNYM under the Bond Resolution and applicable law with regard to the payment of BNYM's fees and expenses and indemnification arising from or relating to the Ambac Action or the Whitebox Actions. COFINA, its agents and servicers, the Disbursing Agent and BNYM shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of Bond Claims after the Distribution Record Date; provided, however, that COFINA Bonds will be transferable and recognized if made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the New Bond Indenture.
19.6 Cancellation of Notes, Instruments, Certificates, and Other Documents: Except (a) as provided in any contract, instrument or other agreement or document entered into or delivered in connection with the Plan, (b) for purposes of evidencing a right to distribution under the Plan, or (c) as specifically provided otherwise in the Plan (including any rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases pursuant to Section 18.1 hereof), on the Effective Date, the "Senior" and "First Subordinate" Existing Securities and all instruments and documents related thereto will be deemed automatically cancelled, terminated and of no further force or effect against COFINA without any further act or action under any applicable agreement, law, regulation, order or rule, with COFINA and BNYM having no continuing obligations or duties and responsibilities thereunder and the obligations of the parties to COFINA, as applicable, under the Existing Securities and all instruments and documents related thereto shall be discharged; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the "Senior" and "First Subordinate" Existing Securities and such other instruments and documents shall continue in effect solely (i) to allow the Disbursing Agent to make any distributions as set forth in the Plan and to perform such other necessary administrative or other functions with respect thereto, (ii) to allow holders of Allowed Bond Claims to receive distributions in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan, (iii)
*340for any trustee, agent, contract administrator or similar entity under all instruments and documents related thereto, including BNYM, to perform necessary functions, including making distributions, in accordance with the Plan and to have the benefit of all the rights and protections and other provisions of such instruments and documents, as applicable, and all other related agreements, including, without limitation, the right to payment of the Trustee Claims and the Trustee Rights, (iv) to set forth the terms and conditions applicable to parties to such documents and instruments other than COFINA, (v) to allow BNYM to appear in the Title III Case or any other proceeding in which BNYM is or becomes a party with respect to clauses (i) through (iv) above, as applicable, or otherwise in connection with BNYM's role as trustee under the Bond Resolution, or (vi) as may be necessary to preserve any claims under the respective Insurance Policies by (1) the applicable holders of Allowed Senior COFINA Bond Claims (Ambac) that validly elected to receive Ambac Certificates or (2) the applicable holders of Allowed Senior COFINA Bond Claims (National) that validly elected to receive National Certificates; and, provided, further, that BNYM shall have no duties or responsibilities with respect to any Existing Securities that may be held by the Trusts from and after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, such bonds or bond documents as remain outstanding shall not form the basis for the assertion of any Claim against COFINA or Reorganized COFINA, as the case may be.
19.7 Undeliverable/Reserved Distributions:
(a) Holding of Undeliverable Distributions by the Disbursing Agent: If any distribution to any holder is returned to the Disbursing Agent as undeliverable, no further distribution shall be made to such holder unless and until the Disbursing Agent is notified, in writing, of such holder's then-current address. Subject to the terms and provision of Section 19.7(b) hereof, undeliverable distributions shall remain in the possession of the Disbursing Agent until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable. All Entities ultimately receiving previously undeliverable Cash shall not be entitled to any interest or other accruals of any kind. Nothing contained in the Plan shall require the Disbursing Agent to attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed Claim.
(b) Failure to Claim Undeliverable Distributions: If (i) a check is sent, by the Disbursing Agent to a holder in respect of distributions and such check is not negotiated within one hundred twenty (120) days following the date on which such check was issued, or (ii) any other form of distribution to a holder is otherwise undeliverable, the Disbursing Agent (or its duly authorized agent) shall, on or prior to the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days from (i) the Effective Date, with respect to all Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date, and (ii) the date that a distribution is made with respect to any Disputed Claim that becomes an Allowed Claim subsequent to the Effective Date, file a list with the Title III Court setting forth the names of those Entities for which distributions have been made hereunder that have not been negotiated or have been returned as undeliverable as of the date thereof. Any holder of an Allowed Claim on such list that does not identify itself and assert its rights pursuant to the Plan to receive a distribution within six (6) months from the date so listed shall have its entitlement to such undeliverable distribution discharged and shall be forever barred from asserting any *341entitlement pursuant to the Plan, against Reorganized COFINA, the trustees, or their respective professionals, agents, or property, and any (1) Cash in the possession of the Disbursing Agent or the trustee with respect to Existing Securities, as the case may be, shall be released to Reorganized COFINA for use to discharge operating expenses of Reorganized COFINA and (2) COFINA Bonds in the possession of the Disbursing Agent or trustee with respect to Existing Securities, as the case may be, shall be released to Reorganized COFINA for cancellation or deposit into the treasury of Reorganized COFINA, as determined by Reorganized COFINA in its sole and absolute discretion.
19.8 Withholding and Reporting Requirements: Any party issuing any instrument or making any distribution under the Plan shall comply with all applicable withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any United States federal, state or local tax law or Tax Authority, and all distributions under the Plan shall be subject to any such withholding or reporting requirements. Notwithstanding the above, each holder of an Allowed Claim that is to receive a distribution under the Plan shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any Taxes imposed on such holder by any governmental unit, including income, withholding and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution. Any party issuing any instrument or making any distribution under the Plan has the right, but not the obligation, to not make a distribution until such holder has made arrangements satisfactory to such issuing or disbursing party for payment of any such withholding tax obligations and, if any party issuing any instrument or making any distribution under the Plan fails to withhold with respect to any such holder's distribution, and is later held liable for the amount of such withholding, the holder shall reimburse such party. The Disbursing Agent may require, as a condition to the receipt of a distribution, that the holder complete the appropriate Form W-8 or Form W-9, as applicable to each holder. If the holder fails to comply with such a request within one year, such distribution shall be deemed an Unclaimed Distribution.
19.9 Time Bar to Cash Payments: Checks issued by the Disbursing Agent on account of Allowed Claims shall be null and void if not negotiated within one hundred twenty (120) days from and after the date of issuance thereof. Requests for reissuance of any check shall be made directly to the Disbursing Agent by the holder of the Allowed Claim with respect to which such check originally was issued. Any claim in respect of such a voided check shall be made on or before the later of (i) the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date or (ii) ninety (90) days after the date of issuance of such check, if such check represents a final distribution hereunder on account of such Claim. After such date, all Claims in respect of voided checks shall be discharged and forever barred and the Disbursing Agent shall retain all monies related thereto for the sole purpose of redistribution to holders of Allowed Claims in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof.
19.10 Distributions After Effective Date: Distributions made after the Effective Date to holders of Claims that are not Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date, but which later become Allowed Claims, shall be deemed to have been made in accordance with the terms and provisions of Article XIX of the Plan.
19.11 Setoffs: Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order, the Disbursing Agent may, *342pursuant to applicable bankruptcy or non-bankruptcy law, set off against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account thereof (before any distribution is made on account of such Claim by the Disbursing Agent), the claims, rights, and causes of action of any nature that COFINA or Reorganized COFINA may hold against the holder of such Allowed Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by COFINA or Reorganized COFINA of any such claims, rights, and causes of action that COFINA or the Reorganized COFINA may possess against such holder; and, provided, further, that nothing contained herein is intended to limit the ability of any Creditor to effectuate rights of setoff or recoupment preserved or permitted by the provisions of sections 553, 555, 559, or 560 of the Bankruptcy Code or pursuant to the common law right of recoupment; and, provided, further, that nothing in this Section 19.11 shall affect the releases and injunctions provided in Article XXX of the Plan.
19.12 Allocation of Plan Distributions Between Principal and Interest: To the extent that any Allowed Claim entitled to a distribution under the Plan consists of indebtedness and other amounts (such as accrued but unpaid interest thereon), such distribution shall be allocated first to the principal amount of the Claim (as determined for federal income tax purposes) and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claim, to such other amounts; provided, however, that COFINA or Reorganized COFINA's treatment of any distributions for its tax purposes will not be binding on any Creditor as to the treatment of such distributions for any regulatory, tax or other purposes.
19.13 Payment of Trustee Fees and Expenses: No later than five (5) days prior to the Effective Date, BNYM shall provide invoice summaries and supporting documentation (subject to redaction to preserve attorney-client privilege) to the Oversight Board and AAFAF, on behalf of COFINA, relating to all incurred and unpaid Trustee Claims as of such date, together with an estimate of Trustee Claims to be incurred from such date up to and including the Effective Date. Within three (3) Business Days thereof, COFINA shall notify BNYM, in writing, of any dispute relating to the reasonableness of any portion of the Trustee Claims. Any portion of the Trustee Claims that is not disputed by COFINA shall be paid by COFINA on the Effective Date without further application to, or approval of, the Title III Court; provided, however, that, upon notification of a dispute, BNYM (a) shall submit an application to the Title III Court seeking a resolution of such dispute by the Title III Court or (b) waive, in writing, payment of such disputed amount; and, provided, further, that, upon the entry of an order of the Title III Court authorizing payment of any disputed amount, upon notice and a hearing, unless otherwise stayed, COFINA shall pay such allowed portion of such Trustee Claims. To the extent any Trustee Claim is incurred from and after the Effective Date and does not relate to either the Ambac Action or the Whitebox Actions, Reorganized COFINA shall be responsible and, upon presentation of supporting documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Reorganized COFINA (subject to redaction to preserve attorney-client privilege), shall satisfy such post-Effective Date Trustee Claims; provided, however, that, under no circumstance shall the Disbursing Agent, COFINA or Reorganized COFINA
*343be responsible for any indemnification obligation, cost, or expense of BNYM associated with the gross negligence, intentional fraud or willful misconduct of BNYM in making any distribution pursuant to the Plan.
ARTICLE XX
RIGHTS AND POWERS OF DISBURSING AGENT
20.1 Exculpation: From and after the Effective Date, the Disbursing Agent shall be exculpated by all Entities, including, without limitation, holders of Claims and other parties in interest, from any and all claims, causes of action, and other assertions of liability arising out of the discharge of the powers and duties conferred upon such Disbursing Agent by the Plan or any order of the Title III Court entered pursuant to or in furtherance of the Plan, or applicable law, except for actions or omissions to act arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Disbursing Agent. No holder of a Claim or other party in interest shall have or pursue any claim or cause of action against the Disbursing Agent for making payments in accordance with the Plan or for implementing the provisions of the Plan.
20.2 Powers of the Disbursing Agent: Except as may be provided otherwise hereunder, the Disbursing Agent shall be empowered to (a) take all steps and execute all instruments and documents necessary to effectuate the Plan, (b) make distributions contemplated by the Plan, (c) comply with the Plan and the obligations thereunder, and (d) exercise such other powers as may be vested in the Disbursing Agent pursuant to order of the Title III Court, pursuant to the Plan, or as deemed by the Disbursing Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions of the Plan.
20.3 Fees and Expenses Incurred From and After the Effective Date: Except as otherwise ordered by the Title III Court, the amount of any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent from and after the Effective Date and any reasonable compensation and expense reimbursement claims, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, incurred by the Disbursing Agent, shall be paid in Cash without further order of the Title III Court.
ARTICLE XXI
PROCEDURES FOR TREATMENT OF DISPUTED CLAIMS
21.1 Objections to Claims; Prosecution of Disputed Claims: Except with respect to Allowed Claims, Reorganized COFINA shall object to, and shall assume any pending objection filed by COFINA to, the allowance of Claims filed with the Title III Court with respect to which it disputes liability, priority or amount, including, without limitation, objections to Claims that have been assigned and the assertion of the doctrine of equitable subordination with respect thereto. All objections, affirmative defenses and counterclaims shall be litigated to Final Order; provided, however, that Reorganized COFINA shall have the authority to file, settle, compromise or withdraw any objections to Claims, without approval of the Title III Court. Unless otherwise ordered by the Title III Court, to the extent not already objected to by COFINA, Reorganized COFINA shall file and serve all objections to Claims as soon as practicable, but, in each instance, not later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the Effective Date or such later date as may be approved by the Title III Court. Notwithstanding anything contained in the *344Plan to the contrary, on the Effective Date, any Bond Claim filed by any Entity, other than the Bond Claims filed by BNYM, as trustee with respect to the Existing Securities, for amounts due under Existing Securities, shall be deemed disallowed and expunged and the Oversight Board shall instruct Prime Clerk LLC, its court-appointed representative, to remove such Bond Claims from the claims registry maintained for the benefit of the Title III Court.
21.2 Estimation of Claims: Except with respect to Allowed Claims, on and after the Effective Date, and unless otherwise limited by an order of the Title III Court, Reorganized COFINA may at any time request the Title III Court to estimate for final distribution purposes any contingent, unliquidated or Disputed Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code regardless of whether COFINA previously objected to or sought to estimate such Claim, and the Title III Court will retain jurisdiction to consider any request to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim, including, without limitation, during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. Unless otherwise provided in an order of the Title III Court, in the event that the Title III Court estimates any contingent, unliquidated or Disputed Claim, the estimated amount shall constitute either the allowed amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on such Claim, as determined by the Title III Court; provided, however, that, if the estimate constitutes the maximum limitation on such Claim, Reorganized COFINA may elect to pursue supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate allowance of such Claim; and, provided, further, that the foregoing is not intended to limit the rights granted by section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code. All of the aforementioned Claims objection, estimation and resolution procedures are cumulative and not necessarily exclusive of one another.
21.3 Payments and Distributions on Disputed Claims:
(a) Disputed Claims Holdback: From and after the Effective Date, and until such time as each Disputed Claim has been compromised and settled, estimated by the Title III Court in an amount constituting the allowed amount, or allowed or disallowed by Final Order of the Title III Court, Reorganized COFINA shall retain, for the benefit of each holder of a Disputed Claim, COFINA Cash Available for Distribution, Section 103 Cash, Rounding Amount Cash and COFINA Bonds, and, to the extent elected by such holder, the applicable trust certificates, and any dividends, gains or income attributable in respect of any of the foregoing, in an amount equal to the Pro Rata Share of distributions that would have been made to the holder of such Disputed Claim if it were an Allowed Claim in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the liquidated amount set forth in the filed proof of Claim relating to such Disputed Claim, (ii) the amount in which the Disputed Claims shall be estimated by the Title III Court pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code constitutes and represents the maximum amount in which such Claim may ultimately become an Allowed Claim, and (iii) such other amount as may be agreed upon by the holder of such Disputed Claim and Reorganized COFINA; provided, however, that the recovery by any holder of a Disputed Claim shall not exceed the lesser of (i), (ii) and (iii) above. Any COFINA Cash Available for Distribution, Section 103 Cash, Rounding Amount Cash and COFINA Bonds retained and held for the benefit of a holder of a Disputed Claim shall be treated as payment and reduction on account of such Disputed Claim for purposes of computing *345any additional amounts to be paid in Cash distributed in COFINA Bonds in the event the Disputed Claim ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim. Such Cash and any dividends, gains or income paid on account of the COFINA Bonds (if any) retained for the benefit of holders of Disputed Claims shall be retained by Reorganized COFINA for the benefit of such holders pending determination of their entitlement thereto under the terms of the Plan. To the extent that Reorganized COFINA retains COFINA Bonds on behalf of Disputed Claims holders, until such time as such COFINA Bonds are distributed, Reorganized COFINA shall exercise voting or consent rights with respect to such bonds.
(b) Allowance of Disputed Claims: At such time as a Disputed Claim becomes, in whole or in part, an Allowed Claim, Reorganized COFINA shall distribute to the holder thereof the distributions, if any, to which such holder is then entitled under the Plan, together with any earnings that have accrued on the amount of COFINA Cash Available for Distribution, Section 103 Cash, Rounding Amount Cash and COFINA Bonds so retained (net of any expenses, including any taxes, relating thereto), but only to the extent that such earnings are attributable to the amount of the Allowed Claim. Such distribution, if any, shall be made as soon as practicable after the date that the order or judgement of the Title III Court allowing such Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order, but in no event more than ninety (90) days thereafter. The balance of any COFINA Cash Available for Distribution, Section 103 Cash, Rounding Amount Cash and COFINA Bonds previously retained but not distributed to a Disputed Claim holder shall be included in future distributions with respect to COFINA Bonds.
21.4 Authority to Amend List of Creditors: Except with respect to Bond Claims, COFINA shall have the authority to amend the List of Creditors with respect to any Claim and to make distributions based on such amended List of Creditors without approval of the Title III Court. If any such amendment to the List of Creditors reduces the amount of a Claim or changes the nature or priority of a Claim, COFINA will provide the holder of such Claim with notice of such amendment and such holder will have twenty (20) days to file an objection to such amendment with the Title III Court. If no such objection is filed, the Disbursing Agent may proceed with distributions based on such amended List of Creditors without approval of the Title III Court.
21.5 Non-Accrual of Interest: Unless otherwise specifically provided for herein or by order of the Title III Court, post-petition interest shall not accrue or be paid on Claims, Allowed or otherwise, and no holder of a Claim, Allowed or otherwise, shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim or right. Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing, interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Disputed Claim with respect to the period from the Effective Date to the date a final distribution is made on account of such Disputed Claim, if and when such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.
21.6 Disallowance of Claims: All Claims of any Entity from which property is sought by COFINA under sections 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that COFINA alleges is a transferee of a transfer that is avoidable under sections 544, 545, 547, 548, or 549 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be disallowed if: (a) the Entity, on the one hand, and COFINA, on the other hand, agree or the Title III Court has determined by Final Order that such Entity or transferee is liable to turn over any property or monies under any of the *346aforementioned sections of the Bankruptcy Code; and (b) such Entity or transferee has failed to turn over such property by the date set forth in such agreement or Final Order.
ARTICLE XXII

22.1 Impaired Classes to Vote: Except as otherwise provided pursuant to the Disclosure Statement Order, each holder, as of the voting record date established in the Disclosure Statement Order, of a Claim in an impaired Class not otherwise deemed to have rejected or accepted the Plan shall be entitled to vote separately to accept or reject the Plan.
22.2 Acceptance by Class of Creditors : An impaired Class of holders of Claims shall have accepted the Plan if the Plan is accepted by at least two-thirds (2/3) in dollar amount and more than one-half (1/2) in number of the Allowed Claims of such Class that have affirmatively voted to accept or reject the Plan.
22.3 Cramdown: In the event that any impaired Class of Claims shall fail to accept, or be deemed to reject, the Plan in accordance with section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Oversight Board reserves the right to request that the Title III Court confirm the Plan in accordance with section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

23.1 Impaired Classes: Claims in Classes 1 through 10 are impaired under the Plan.
23.2 Impaired Classes to Vote: The Claims in Classes 1 through 9 are impaired and receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan, and are therefore entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan; provided, however, that, based upon the elections made on the Ballot/Election Form, Classes 4 and 7 are deemed to have accepted the Plan. The Claims in Class 10 are impaired and not receiving a distribution pursuant to the Plan and, therefore, Class 10 is deemed to have rejected the Plan.
