Plaintiff Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. (“LBSF”) has brought this adversary proceeding against some 250 defendant noteholders, note issuers, and indenture trustees seeking to recover- approximately $1 billion that was distributed to the defendant noteholders following the commencement of the Lehman Brothers chapter 11 proceedings in September 2008. The distributions were made in connection with the early termination of hundreds of swap transactions to which LBSF was a counter-party; the early terminations were solely triggered by LBSF’s default, which occurred when Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“LBHI”) filed' its chapter 11 petition on September 15,2008. The question at the core of this matter is the enforceability of an alleged ipso facto clause in the applicable transaction documents. If the clause is not enforceable (and the distributions not protected by any applicable “safe harbor”), LBSF will be entitled to recover the distributions. Imbedded in that simple question lie a number of vexing and intriguing issues, including:
• Were LBSF’s priority rights modified by application of the alleged ipso facto clauses?
• Was a modification of LBSF’s rights, if any, effective upon LBSF’s receipt of a valid termination notice or not until distributions with respect to such termination were made?
• Is it the chapter 11 filing date of LBHI or the subsequent filing date of LBSF that is the relevant point in time for purposes of the analysis of the enforceability of the alleged ipso facto clause? '
• To what extent do the safe harbor provisions of the Bankruptcy Code protect some or all of the distributions from clawback?
Although it has been six years since the Court first addressed similar issues in the context of certain credit-linked synthetic portfolio notes issued under the multi-is-suer secured obligation program known as the “Dante Program,” 2 no other court has addressed the precise issues presented by the forty-four transactions at issue here.
Against that backdrop, and for the reasons that follow, the Court concludes that *482Counts I through XIX of the adversary complaint fail to state a cause of action upon which relief can be granted and therefore grants the Motion (as defined below). The Court’s analysis is as follows.3
BACKGROUND
The Omnibus Motion to Dismiss (the “Motion”)4 before the Court filed by certain noteholder and trust certifícate holder defendants (the “Noteholders”) in the above-captioned adversary proceeding relates to Counts I through XVI, XVIII, and XIX of LBSF’s Fourth Amended Complaint.5 The Motion was joined by certain other defendants in the adversary proceeding, each in its capacity as an indenture trustee for one or more of the transactions that are the subject of the adversary proceeding (such defendants, the “Trustees” and together with the Noteholders, the “Movants”).6 In addition to joining the Motion, certain of the Trustees also moved to dismiss Count XVII of the Complaint, which is asserted solely against the Trustees.
By the Motion and the Joinders, the Movants seek .dismissal of Counts I through XIX of the Complaint pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6).7 The Movants argue that LBSF has failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted because, among other things, (i) the contractual provisions at issue are not unenforceable ipso facto clauses because they did not modify LBSF’s rights after LBSF’s bankruptcy. petition date and (ii) even if such provisions were unenforceable ipso facto clauses, the distributions at issue are protected by certain safe harbor provisions of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”). LBSF argues that the provisions at issue are unenforceable ipso facto clauses and are not protected by the safe harbor provisions identified by the Movants. LBSF has also asserted a variety of other bankruptcy and state law claims'against the Movants,
The relevant facts before the Court, while complex, are largely undisputed. LBSF,. an indirect subsidiary of LBHI, initiated this adversary proceeding on September 14, 2010. The dispute arises out of a multitude of financial transactions involving certain credit default swap agreements (the “Swaps”) to which LBSF was a party.Pursuant to each Swap, among other things, LBSF purchased credit protection from certain special-purpose entities (the “Issuers”) in connection with forty-four synthetic collateralized debt obligation transactions (the “CDOs”) between and among LBSF and its affiliates, on the one *483hand, and the Issuers, on the other.8 In each of these transactions; LBSF and the Noteholders held competing interests in collateral securing each Issuer’s obligations to LBSF under the Swap and to the Noteholders under their notes. The transaction documents include provisions that govern the priority of payment upon a distribution of proceeds from the liquidation of such collateral after termination of the Swap (the “Priority Provisions”). In each transaction at issue in this adversary proceeding, LBSF alleges that the Noteholders improperly received distributions as a result of the enforcement of the Priority Provisions.
A. Structure of the Transactions
Each Swap was one of three components of a larger transaction between and among LBSF, an Issuer, a Trustee, and certain Noteholders. Although the general structures of the Transactions9 are similar, each was entered into pursuant to its own set of transaction documents (the “Transaction Documents”), the terms of which vary to some extent and govern the rights of the Issuers, Trustees, the Noteholders, and LBSF between and among themselves.
First, in connection with each CDO, each Issuer issued one or more series of Notes (or, in certain circumstances, trust certificates)10 pursuant to indenture or trust agreements (or, with respect to the trust certificates, trust documentation, and with such indentures and trust agreements, the “Indentures”) to a group of Noteholders (the “Issuances”), and used the proceeds from the Issuances to fund the Issuer’s purchase of certain liquid investments to serve as collateral.11 Second, each Issuer and LBSF entered into one or more Swaps whereby the Issuer sold synthetic credit protection on certain reference entities to LBSF.12 The Issuer then applied LBSF’s periodic fixed premium payments pursuant to the Swaps to enhance the interest payments to be made to the Noteholders.13 Finally, upon the closing date of each CDO, each Issuer used cash proceeds received from the Notehold-ers to purchase one or more liquid investments to provide investment income and to serve as collateral (the “Collateral”) to secure or support the Issuer’s obligations to the Noteholders and to LBSF as the swap counterparty.14
The Collateral was held in trust by a Trustee or similar financial agent pursuant to an indenture, a trust deed, or a trust *484agreement. The Trustee held a lien on the Collateral for the benefit of all Secured Parties15 under each Transaction; the Trustee also held and controlled certain of the Issuers’ rights under the Transaction Documents. LBSF and the Noteholders had recourse for payment of each Issuer’s obligations against only the Collateral and any other assets of the Issuers related to the respective Transaction. For each Swap, LBHI guaranteed LBSF’s obligations pursuant to a standard form guaranty and served as credit support provider for LBSF in relation to the Swap in each Transaction.
B. The Transaction Documents and the Priority Provisions
As described above, the Swaps and the Issuances were documented separately, although each Swap and Indenture makes reference to the other. All of the Transactions are governed by New York law, with the exception of the Quartz Finance PLC Series 2004-1 Transaction and Ruby Finance pic Series 2005-1 Transaction, which are governed by English law.16 For each Issuance, the Indentures generally consist of a set of Standard Terms17 and a Series Indenture.18 If an event of default occurs under an Indenture, the Trustees are entitled to issue an enforcement notice (“Termination Notice”), which accelerates payment due and owing on the Notes and triggers an early termination of the Swaps. Although the issuance of a Termination Notice terminates the Swap, it does not terminate the Indenture.19 After issuing a Termination Notice, the Trustees are permitted, but not required, to take additional actions pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Standard Terms, including liquidating the Collateral.20 To the extent that the Trustees liquidate the Collateral and determine to distribute the proceeds, the Trustees are obligated to make distributions in accordance with the payment priority order (the “Waterfall”) applicable under the circumstances pursuant to the Priority Provisions. Although the Trustees are not obligated to make a distribution to any Secured Party upon liquidating the Collateral, any proceeds that are distributed must be distributed pursuant to the applicable Waterfall.
Each Swap was documented with an ISDA21 Master Agreement, schedules, and a confirmation. Substantially all of the Swaps were documented using industry-*485standard credit derivative transaction terms — principally, the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions.22 The schedule to the ISDA Master Agreement provides the method for calculating any termination payment due following the designation of an early termination date (an “Early Termination Date”) upon the occurrence of an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Swap) by either LBSF or the Issuer.23 Under section 6(e) of the ISDA, the parties to the Swap are entitled to elect one of two payment methods — either “First Method” or “Second Method” — and one of two payment calculation measures — either “Market Quotation” or “Loss.”
By way of background, generally speaking, First Method contemplates an “Early Termination Payment” (as defined in the Swap) to be made by the defaulting party to the non-defaulting party.24 Under Second Method, on the other hand, if the termination payment amount calculated using Market Quotation or Loss is a positive number, then the defaulting party must pay the non-defaulting party; if that number is negative, then the non-defaulting party must pay the absolute value of that number to the defaulting party.25 To calculate the amount of an Early Termination Payment using Market Quotation, the non-defaulting party generally calculates the arithmetic mean of four or more price quotes offered by “Reference Market-makers” (leading dealers in the market) to replace the defaulting party in a transaction that would preserve the economic equivalent of the Terminated Transaction.26 In contrast, when using Loss to calculate the amount of an Early Termination Payment, a non-defaulting party must determine in good faith its total losses and costs (or gain, in which case the amount is expressed as a negative number) incurred in connection with the termination of the transaction.27
Here, Part 1(c) of the schedule to the Swap provides that following an Early Termination Date, a termination payment is calculated using the mark-to-market value of the parties’ swap positions, as calculated under Loss and using Second Method,28 meaning that a termination payment would be calculated based on the value of the Swap parties’ positions at the time of the Early Termination Date. For instance, if, at the time of the Early Termination, the reference obligations underlying a Swap had decreased in value over the lifetime of the Swap, LBSF would be entitled to a termination payment on account of its interest in that Swap. A party whose Swap position has value at the time of a termination is considered “in-the-money.”
*486The Transaction Documents provided that any distributions made by the Trustees to LBSF, the Noteholders, and other parties owed distributions under the Transaction Documents were to be made pursuant to the Waterfall and in accordance with the Priority Provisions. Pursuant to the Priority Provisions, LBSF held payment priority for a termination payment owing to LBSF ahead of payments to the Noteholders under certain circumstances (such Waterfall, “LBSF Priority”), while in other circumstances, the Note-holders held payment priority ahead of the payment to LBSF of such a termination payment (such Waterfall, “Noteholder Priority”). The Priority Provisions contemplate different Waterfalls depending on (i) the circumstances of the Early Termination (e.g., an Event of Default) and, importantly, (ii) the party causing the Early Termination (ie., the identity of the Defaulting Party).
C. The Bankruptcy Cases and Termination of the Transactions
The background and context of the bankruptcy filings of LBHI and its affiliates are now part of financial history. The filings of the Lehman entities are considered one of the most complex, multi-facet-ed, and largest business bankruptcy filings in history.29 When round-the-clock negotiations to effect an out-of-court solution for Lehman failed over the weekend of September 13, 2008, LBHI filed for bankruptcy protection with little advance preparation. Like the circumstances leading' to LBHI’s filing, many of the issues that have arisen in the context of the Lehman bankruptcy cases have been unprecedented and are indeed unique. This Decision addresses a few such issues.
LBHI filed its bankruptcy petition on September 15, 2008 (the “LBHI Petition Date”). Because LBHI was a guarantor of LBSF’s payment obligations under the Swaps and served as credit support provider to LBSF pursuant to the Transaction Documents, LBHI’s bankruptcy filing triggered an Event of Default whereby LBSF became the Defaulting Party under the Swap for each Transaction. LBSF filed its bankruptcy petition eighteen days later, on October 3, 2008 (the “LBSF Petition Date”).
In each of the Transactions, the Issuer, through the Trustee (or another agent of the Issuer), duly designated an Early Termination Date under the Swaps based on LBSF’s default (the “Early Termination”) 30 and delivered the Termination Notices which terminated the Swaps and accelerated the amount due on the Notes. The designation of the Early Termination Date also triggered the calculation of a termination payment owed under the Swaps.
Of the forty-four Transactions at issue in this adversary proceeding, thirty-six Swaps were terminated prior to the LBSF Petition Date and seven were terminated after the LBSF Petition Date.31 Following the Early Termination of the Swaps, the Trustees monetized the Collateral and distributed the proceeds (or in some cases, distributed the Collateral itself) in accordance with the Priority Provisions for each *487of the Transactions. The parties have grouped the Transactions into three categories based on the timing of the Early Termination and the distribution of proceeds, as reflected in Appendix A hereto.32 For the majority of the Swaps terminated prior to the LBSF Petition Date, the Collateral was liquidated and payments were distributed prior to the LBSF Petition Date (the “Pre-Pre Transactions”). For certain others, the Swaps were terminated prior to the LBSF Petition Date but distributions to the Noteholders were not made until after the LBSF Petition Date (the “Pre-Post Transactions”). Finally, with respect ter certain other Swaps, the termination of the Swaps, liquidation of the Collateral, and distribution of proceeds all occurred after the LBSF Petition Date (the “Post-Post Transactions”).
Upon providing notice of an Event of Default under the Swaps and the Indentures, the Trustees liquidated the assets, including the Collateral securing the Issuers’ obligations under the Swaps and Indentures, and deposited the proceeds into accounts held by each Trustee for that purpose. The Trustees subsequently distributed the proceeds pursuant to the applicable Waterfall (the “Distributions”). In each instance, the Trustees applied Noteholder Priority because the Early Terminations were the result of an Event of Default and LBSF was the Defaulting Party.33 The amount of the proceeds of the liquidation of the Collateral was insuf-fleient to make any payment to LBSF under the Waterfall after proceeds were paid pursuant to Noteholder Priority.
D. The BNY and Ballyrock Decisions
In addition to the Transactions at issue here, LBSF was party to additional transactions that were similarly structured, including • those transactions entered into pursuant to the Dante Program. In mid-2009, the holders of certain notes issued by Saphir Finance Public Limited Company (“Saphir”) pursuant to the Dante Program brought an action against BNY Corporate Trustee Services Limited, as indenture trustee for the notes (“BNY”), in the High Court of Justice in England seeking payment pursuant to the priority provisions in the Saphir transaction documents ahead of LBSF, which was the counterparty to a swap transaction with Saphir.34 The Sa-phir transaction was governed by English law. LBSF intervened in the Perpetual Action and then commenced its own action against BNY in this Court seeking a declaration that those priority provisions were unenforceable ipso facto clauses. Prior to resolution of LBSF’s action in this Court, the English Court determined in Perpetual that the relevant provisions of the transaction' documents were valid and enforceable under English law.35 That decision has since been affirmed by the English appellate courts.36
*488On January 25, 2010, Judge Peck issued an opinion in the companion case pending before this Court granting LBSF’s motion for summary judgment and holding that the priority provisions at issue constituted unenforceable ipso facto clauses under sections 365(e)(1) and 541(c)(1)(B) of the Code (“BNY”).37 While acknowledging the conflicting ruling in Perpetual, Judge Peck concluded that this Court was not bound by that result on the basis of comity and that application of the relevant provisions of the Code dictated a contrary result to that in Perpetual.
Specifically, Judge Peck held in BNY that (i) the transaction documents in issue constituted “executory contracts” under section 365 of the Code; (ii) the priority provisions contained -therein modified “LBSF’s right to a priority distribution solely as a result of a chapter 11 filing”38 and were therefore unenforceable ipso fac-to clauses under sections 365(e)(1) and 541(c)(1)(B) of the Code; (iii) the safe harbor provision in section 560 of the Code did not protect the distributions made pursuant to the priority provisions contained therein;39 and (iv) to the extent the transaction documents constituted subordination agreements under section 510(a) of the Code, the modification of LBSF’s payment priority upon the commencement of a bankruptcy case rendered that portion of the subordination agreement unenforceable.40
Critical to Judge Peck’s holding that the priority provisions at issue in BNY were unenforceable ipso facto clauses was his conclusion that there was a modification of LBSF’s rights effected by the priority provisions that occurred after the LBSF Petition Date because the notice of early termination of the swap agreements and the additional actions required to render the modification effective, including distributions, occurred after such date.41 Accordingly, Judge Peck acknowledged that “the relevant date for purposes of testing whether any shifting of priorities occurred under the [transaction [documents [was] the LBSF Petition Date.”42
Nevertheless, Judge Peck observed in dicta that the LBHI Petition Date could “be considered as the operative date for a claimed reversal of the payment priority”43 and that LBSF was entitled to claim the protections of the ipso facto provisions as of the LBHI Petition Date because the “chapter 11 cases of LBHI and its affiliates is a singular event for purposes of interpreting” the ipso facto language in sections 365(e)(1) and 541(c)(1)(B) of the Code.44 Judge Peck principally focused on the “integrated enterprise” of the Lehman entities and the exigent circumstances surrounding the Lehman bankruptcy filings as the operative facts supporting the “singular event” theory.45
Approximately one year after deciding BNY, Judge Peck was confronted with a similar issue in another adversary pro*489ceeding in the LBHI case.46 In Lehman Bros. Special Financing Inc. v. Ballyrock ABS CDO 2007-1 Ltd., LBSF sought relief similar to that sought in BNY against another issuer and trustee of multiple classes of notes issued pursuant to the Dante Program. In that case, Ballyrock ABS CDO 2007-1 Ltd. (“Ballyrock”), as issuer, was also party to a swap agreement with LBSF. Ballyrock terminated the swap due to an event of default under that swap agreement arising from LBHI’s bankruptcy filing and the assets held as collateral in that transaction were liquidated; thereafter, the trustee for the notes issued by Ballyrock distributed the proceeds from that liquidation to the holders of such notes pursuant to the priority provisions in the Ballyrock transaction documents. LBSF brought suit alleging that those priority provisions were unenforceable ipso facto clauses.
In denying the defendants’ motion to dismiss in Ballyrock, Judge Peck cited his reasoning in BNY and held that the priority provision at issue modified LBSF’s rights.47 Judge Peck also found that the safe harbor contained in section 560 of the Code did not protect the distribution of proceeds to the Ballyrock noteholders because “a [contractually] mandated elimination of a substantive right to receive funds that existed prior to the bankruptcy of LBHI should not be entitled to any protection under safe harbor provisions that, by their express terms, are limited exclusively to preserving the right to liquidate, terminate and accelerate a qualifying financial contract.”48
E. The Adversary Proceeding
On September 14, 2010, LBSF commenced this adversary proceeding as a putative defendant class action against certain of the Noteholders, the Trustees, and the Issuers, seeking, among other things, (i) a declaratory judgment that the Priority Provisions are unenforceable ipso facto clauses and that the Distributions violated the automatic stay; (ii) avoidance of the Distributions and related transfers pursuant to sections 547, 548, and 549 of the Code; and (iii) recovery of certain property distributed to the Noteholders.49 A number of additional Noteholders were subsequently joined as defendants.
On July 14, 2014, the Court entered a scheduling order governing case management of the adversary proceeding.50 On October 27, 2014, LBSF filed a motion for certification of the Noteholders as a defendant class in this adversary proceeding.51 On December 17, 2014, a group of Defendants filed a motion requesting that the District Court enter an order withdrawing the reference of this adversary proceeding to this Court,52 which motion was denied by the District Court.53 On August 28, *4902015, the Court, entered an amended scheduling order (the “Second Scheduling Order”),54 pursuant to which, among other things, consideration of the motion for class certification was set aside.55 On December 14, 2015, the Noteholders filed the Motion, and two separate groups of Trustees each filed a Joinder to the Motion. On May 4, 2016, the Court held a hearing on the Motion and the Joinders (the “Hearing”).56
DISCUSSION
A. Motion to Dismiss Standard
Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 7012(b), which incorporates Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) (“Rule 12(b)(6)”), permits a bankruptcy court to dismiss an adversary proceeding if a plaintiffs complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. In reviewing a motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6), the Court accepts the'factual allegations of the complaint as true and draws all reasonable inferences in the plaintiffs favor.57 To survive a challenge to the adequacy of a complaint under Rule 12(b)(6), the factual allegations in a complaint must be supported by more than mere conclusory statements,58 The allegations must be sufficient “to raise a right to relief above the speculative level” and provide more than a “formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action.”59
A court may dismiss a complaint unless a plaintiff pleads “enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.”60 “[0]nly a complaint that states a plausible claim for relief survives a motion to dismiss.”61 “A claim has facial plausibility when the plaintiff pleads factual content that allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged.”62 “[A] well-pleaded complaint may proceed even if it appears ‘that a recovery is very remote and unlikely.’ ”63 Plausibility “is not akin to a probability requirement;” rather, plausibility requires “more than a sheer possibility that a defendant has acted unlawfully.” 64
In deciding a Rule 12(b)(6) motion, the court may not consider evidence proffered by any party. Rather, the court is limited to reviewing the complaint, any documents attached to that pleading or incorporated in it by reference, any documents heavily relied upon by the complaint.as to their *491“terms and effect” and which are therefore integral to the plaintiffs allegations even if not explicitly incorporated by reference,65 and facts of which the court may take judicial notice.”66 Therefore, the appropriate inquiry “is not whether a plaintiff is likely to prevail, but whether [he] is entitled to offer evidence to support [his] claims.”67
B. Analysis of the Priority Provisions
By the Complaint, LBSF alleges that the Priority Provisions are unenforceable ipso facto clauses because they modify a debtor’s right under a contract solely because of a bankruptcy filing in violation of sections 365(e)(1), 541(c)(1)(B), and 363(Z) of the Code.68 LBSF also maintains that any attempt to modify its payment priority violates the automatic stay, in violation of section 362(a)(3) of the Code, because any such attempt improperly seeks to exercise control over the property of LBSF’s estate. Finally, LBSF has asserted additional claims under the Code and New York law related to the purported modification of its payment priority.
In response, the Movants seek to dismiss the Complaint on the grounds that LBSF has failed to state a cause of action upon which relief can be granted because (i) the Priority Provisions do not modify LBSF’s rights and thus are not ipso facto clauses; (ii) to the extent the Priority Provisions constitute ipso facto clauses (i.e., to the extent LBSF’s rights were modified), the timing of the modification does not render the Priority Provisions unenforceable; and (iii) the Code’s “safe harbor” provisions protect the Distributions from clawback or other limitation even if they were made pursuant to otherwise unenforceable ipso facto Priority Provisions.
Under the Code, ipso facto clauses — contract clauses that modify the rights of a debtor-party due to the filing of a bankruptcy petition — are, as a general matter, unenforceable. 69 Section 365(e) of the Code provides:69
an executory contract ... of the debtor may not be terminated or modified, and any right or obligation under such contract ... may not be terminated or modified, at any time after the commencement of the case solely because of a provision in such contract ... that is conditioned on ... the commencement of a case under this title ...
11 U.S.C. § 365(e)(1).
In addition, section 541 of the Code effectively invalidates ipso fado clauses, providing that a debtor’s interest in property
becomes property of the estate ... notwithstanding any provision in an agreement, transfer instrument, or applicable *492nonbankruptcy law ... that is conditioned on ... the commencement of a case under this title ... and that effects or gives an option to effect a forfeiture, modification, or termination of the debt- or’s interest in property.
11 U.S.C. § 541.
Finally, section 363(i) of the Code similarly preserves the right to use property of the estate for the bankruptcy estate
notwithstanding any provision in a contract, a lease, or applicable law that is conditioned ... on the commencement of a case under this title concerning the debtor ... and that effects, or gives an option to effect, a forfeiture, modification, or termination of the debtor’s interest in such property,
11 U.S.C. § 363(Z). The Court refers collectively to these three sections of the Code as the “anti-ipso facto provisions.” Under each of these three provisions, therefore, the analysis as to whether the Priority Provisions constitute ipso facto clauses requires the Court to determine (i) the nature of the rights LBSF held prior to the relevant Early Termination Date; (ii) whether the enforcement of the Priority Provisions modified any right of LBSF; and, if so, (iii) when such modification occurred.
As discussed above,70 the Priority Provisions contained in the various sets of Transaction Documents are not uniform. As a result, the precise character of LBSF’s rights prior to the Early Termination Date with respect to payment priority varies among the Transactions. The Court has identified two materially distinct types of language used in the Priority Provisions for the Transactions at issue, and it has categorized the Transactions accordingly as reflected on Appendix B hereto, for ease of discussion.
In Type 1 Transactions, LBSF held a right to payment priority of a Swap termination payment (if it was “in-the-money”) that was fixed at the outset of the Transaction as the default option — meaning, LBSF had an automatic right to payment priority ahead of the Noteholders unless the conditions for an alternative priority were satisfied. If. such conditions were satisfied, LBSF would be divested of its payment priority. One way that an alternative priority could arise was if LBSF was the Defaulting Party and, by virtue of the underlying Event of Default, LBSF triggered an Early Termination of the Swap. Therefore, prior to any such Early Termination, LBSF, as the “in-the-money” Swap counterparty based on the value of the Swap’s reference obligations, had a right to payment priority ahead of the Notehold-ers in the event there was a termination of the Swap. In other words, if, prior to LBSF’s default, the conditions for an alternative priority were not otherwise satisfied, the default payment priority of LBSF Priority was in place.
For instance, the Ruby Transactions and Quartz Transactions (which, along with the transactions in BNY and Ballyrock, are part of the Dante Program) are Type 1 Transactions because the Priority Provisions in those Transactions establish priority for payments to LBSF as a default Waterfall, but “flip”71 that default priority order in the situation in which LBSF has defaulted on the Swap, causing an Early Termination.72 Moreover, as long as it *493was “in-the-money” based on the value of the reference obligations, LBSF held a right to payment priority ahead of the Noteholders throughout the life of the Transaction. If LBSF defaulted, however, that priority would “flip,” and the Note-holders would hold a payment priority right. Similarly, the RACER Series Transactions are Type 1 Transactions because the Priority Provisions in those Transaction Documents eliminate LBSF’s right to receive any termination payment whatsoever if it is the Defaulting Party, a right that LBSF held prior to its default as a result of the value of the reference obligations.73
In contrast to Type 1 Transactions, in Type 2 Transactions (which comprise the majority of the Transactions), however, the Priority Provisions do not establish a default priority position for a termination payment to the “in-the-money” Swap coun-terparty; the prevailing Waterfall with respect to an Early Termination Payment, whether LBSF Priority or Noteholder Priority, was not fixed at the outset of the Transaction and remained unfixed until the Swap was actually terminated. Put another way, the Priority Provisions in Type 2 Transactions create a toggle between two potential Waterfalls that could have become applicable upon Early Termination; which Waterfall would become applicable would remain unknown until an Early Termination occurred and the circumstances surrounding it were determined.
For example, the Indenture for the Gréystone CDO Series 2006-1 Transaction provides a Waterfall for payments to be made “[o]n the Early Termination Payment Date (if any)....”74 That section sets forth the priority of payment with respect to specific payments, establishing one priority position for termination payments to LBSF if the Early Termination was not caused by LBSF’s default, and another priority position for termination payments to LBSF if it were.75 But unlike Type 1 Transactions, the Waterfall was only triggered by an Early Termination. As a result, neither LBSF nor the Note-holders had any right under one particular Waterfall until an Early Termination occurred. LBSF therefore held only a contingent right to payment in one of those two priority positions prior to the Early Termination, not a right — contingent or otherwise — to a senior priority position. Similarly, the Noteholders’ priority position was undetermined prior to Early Termination.
*494For the reasons set forth below, the Court concludes that (i) enforcement of the Priority Provisions in Type 1 Transactions effected an ipso facto modification of LBSF’s rights and (ii) enforcement of the Priority Provisions in Type 2 Transactions did not effect any modification of LBSF’s rights. As explained below, however, while the Priority Provisions in Type 1 Transactions (all of which are Post-Post Transactions) modify LBSF’s rights because of .its default, the safe harbor of section 560 nonetheless protects the Distributions in these Transactions from claw-back. Because the Court also rules that the Priority Provisions in Type 2 Transactions do not constitute unenforceable ipso facto clauses, each of LBSF’s claims set forth in Counts I through XII fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted and such Counts must be dismissed.
1. The Priority Provisions in Type 1 Transactions Modify LBSF’s Rights and Therefore Are Ipso Facto Clauses
LBSF argues that after Early Termination of the Swaps, under Second Method,76 LBSF was entitled to payment of the positive value of its position in the Swaps ahead of payment to the Notehold-ers even if it was the Defaulting Party, but when the Waterfall dictated by the Priority Provisions was applied, LBSF lost that payment priority right due to a default based solely on the commencement of a chapter 11 case.77 Movants argue that LBSF’s right to payment ahead of the Noteholders only came into being if there was an invoked Credit Event or an Issuer Event; LBSF remained junior to the Noteholders if the Swap terminated by reason of LBSF’s default.78 The Court agrees with LBSF that its rights in Type 1 Transactions were modified.
For Type 1 Transactions, like the transactions at issue in BNY and Ballyrock, LBSF held a right to receive its termination payment ahead of payments to the Noteholders and such right was modified as a result of LBSF’s default on those Swaps; consequently, LBSF was divested of such right as a result of its default on the Swaps.79 The Transaction Documents for Type 1 Transactions established LBSF Priority as the default priority and did not limit application of LBSF Priority to instances in which there was an Early Termination that was not caused by LBSF’s default on the Swaps. Movants’ position that LBSF’s right to payment ahead of the Noteholders for Type 1 Transactions “only came into being” upon certain events that never occurred is unavailing.80 While the Court does not agree with LBSF that LBSF Priority was established as a result of the “required use of Second Method” to calculate the termination payment,81 the Court nevertheless concludes that, pursuant to the terms of the Priority Provisions themselves in Type 1 Transactions, LBSF held a right to payment priority of a termi*495nation payment ahead of payment to the Noteholders that was modified because of its default.
For Type 2 Transactions, however, the Court concludes that, contrary to LBSF’s characterization of the Transactions Documents, LBSF never held a right to payment priority; such a right would only have arisen if, upon Early Termination of a Swap, the conditions necessary to trigger LBSF Priority existed.82 One of those conditions was that Early Termination was not the result of LBSF’s default under the Swap. Because in each Type 2 Transaction the Early Termination of the Swap was in fact the. result of LBSF’s default, LBSF never enjoyed a right to payment priority ahead of the Noteholders and thus LBSF held no priority right that could have been modified. The only relevant right held by LBSF as of the LBSF Petition Date (or, for that matter, the LBHI Petition Date)- was the right to be paid proceeds from the Collateral pursuant to the prevailing Waterfall. That right, as reflected in the Priority Provisions, was not modified (as a result of the commencement of a chapter 11 case or otherwise).83 Because payment priority resulting from an early termination of a Swap was set only upon early termination, LBSF did not have an existing right to payment priority and thus the Priority Provisions did not ipso facto modify LBSF’s rights.
Therefore, consistent with Judge Peck’s conclusion in BNY that the priority provisions at issue in that case modified LBSF’s rights, the Court concludes that the Priority Provisions in the Type 1 Transactions modify LBSF’s rights as ipso facto provisions. Based on the distinctions explained above, the Court, however, does not find that to be the case with respect to the Priority Provisions in Type 2 Transactions, for which neither LBSF nor the Notehold-ers held a right to a specific payment priority at the outset of the Transactions. Rather, as the Movants argue, the Priority Provisions in those Transactions establish a Waterfall of payment priorities based on the occurrence of certain events and the nature of the relevant payment, thereby granting both LBSF and the Noteholders a right to a distribution under the Waterfall but with priority to be determined at a subsequent time. As a result, the Priority Provisions in Type 2 Transactions are not ipso facto provisions.
2. Even If the Priority Provisions in Type 2 Transactions Ipso Facto Modified LBSF’s Rights, Any Such Modifications In Pre-Pre Transactions or Pre-Post Transactions Occurred Before the LBSF Petition Date and Thus Do Not Violate Sections 365(e)(1), 541(c)(1), or 363(i) of the Code
While the Court concludes that enforcement of the Priority Provisions in Type 2 Transactions did not modify LBSF’s rights, in the alternative, even assuming the opposite conclusion, the Court concludes that any such modifications in Pre-Pre Transactions or Pre-Post Transactions occurred before the commencement of LBSF’s bankruptcy case and thus do not violate sections 365(e)(1), 541(c)(1), or 363(Z) of the Code.84 As reflected in Ap*496pendices A and B, thirty-seven out of thirty-nine Type 2 Transactions are either a Pre-Pre Transaction or Pre-Post Transaction; accordingly, even if the Priority Provisions in those thirty-seven Type 2 Transactions (like those in Type 1 Transactions) were found to ipso facto modify LBSF’s rights, the clauses would not violate the anti-ipso facto provisions of the Code.
Section 365(e)(1) provides that only “modifications” that occurred “after the commencement of the case” may be invalidated.85 Similarly, both sections 541(c)(1) and 363(i) incorporate section 541(a)(l)’s definition of “property of the estate” as the “legal or equitable interest of the debtor in property as of the commencement of the case.”86 Therefore, under each of those provisions, unless a debtor’s right has been modified after its petition date, enforcement of the contractual provision at issue, even if conditioned on the commencement of “a” bankruptcy case, is not contrary to the Code.
The Movants argue, persuasively, that under the plain terms of the anti-ipso facto provisions, the relevant petition date is the petition date of the debtor whose rights have been modified or whose property has been affected and therefore urge the Court not to adopt the “singular event” theory articulated in BNY.87 The Movants also argue that any modification caused by the Priority Provisions in the Pre-Pre Transactions and Pre-Post Transactions occurred prior to the LBSF Petition Date because the Swaps in those Transactions were terminated prior to such date.88
With respect to the Pre-Pre Transactions, LBSF relies on the BNY “singular event” theory to argue that, even though Early Termination and distribution of the proceeds of the liquidation of the Collateral both occurred prior to the LBSF Petition Date, because such events occurred after the LBHI Petition Date, the resulting modification triggered the protections of the anti-ipso facto provisions.89 For Pre-Post Transactions, LBSF argues that a modification of LBSF’s priority rights occurred after the LBSF Petition Date because such modification was not “effective” until liquidation of the Collateral and distribution of the proceeds, which did not occur until after the LBSF Petition Date for those Transactions.
The Court thus must address two separate legal issues: first, whether to apply the “singular event” theory, under which the protections provided by the Code’s anti-fyso facto provisions can be triggered not only by an entity’s bankruptcy filing, but by the bankruptcy filing of a related entity; and second, whether modification of LBSF’s rights as a result of the Priority Provisions occurred upon Early Termination of the Swaps or not until distribution of the proceeds of the liquidation of *497the Collateral.90
a. The “Singular Event” Theory
In BNY, Judge Peck considered the question of “under what circumstances is the bankruptcy case of another debtor sufficiently related to rights of the parties ... that it is reasonable to trigger the ipso facto protections.”91 Focusing on the unique circumstances of the Lehman bankruptcy cases, Judge Peck observed that even if a modification of LBSF’s rights to payment priority became effective prior to the LBSF Petition Date, LBSF was entitled to claim the protections of section 365 as of the LBHI Petition Date, which was eighteen days prior to the LBSF Petition Date.92
While there remains no doubt that the Lehman bankruptcy filings were unique in size, scope, and circumstances, the jurisprudence of these cases has developed considerably. since the “singular event” theory was articulated in BNY, as have historical perspectives on that enormously difficult time in our nation’s financial history — a time we truly hope was a “singular” event. So too must perspectives on difficult legal questions develop and evolve over time. As critical as it was early in these cases that the contours of due process of law be “situational” and “function[ ] as a flexible standard at times of genuine emergency,” 93 there was then, as there is now, ah equally important need for uniformly applicable and readily appliable substantive legal principles.
In light of those observations, and against LBSF’s suggestion that the Court should exercise its discretion to adopt, wholesale, Judge Peck’s rulings in BNY and Ballyrock as “law of the case,” the Court believes that it , can and should undertake to determine anew whether there is an enduring legal basis to allow LBSF to rely on the LBHI Petition Date for purposes of invoking the protections of the anti-ipso facto provisions.94 After consideration of that question, the Court declines to adopt the “singular event” theory and holds that any modification of LBSF’s rights that occurred prior to the LBSF Petition Date cannot be the basis of a violation of the anti-ipso facto provisions.
The “singular event theory” as explained in BNY emerged from Judge Peck’s inquiry into the scope of section 365(e)(1)(B) and, in particular, what events causing a modification qualify under that section of the Code to render such modification unenforceable. That is a distinct issue from the issue of when a modification must occur for purposes of the anti-ipso facto provisions.95 The lead-in language to section 365(e)(1) provides that any right under an executory contract of the debtor may not be modified “at any time after the commencement of the case” because of an ipso facto clause.96 Sections 541(c)(1) and *498363(Z) also deal with property of the debt- or’s estate as of the “commencement of the case.”97 The phrase “the case” in such sections refers only to the case of the debtor who is a party to the relevant exec-utory contract.
Following the lead-in language discussed above, section 365(e)(1) continues on to list three separate types of contractual provisions that, if causing a modification of a debtor’s rights, would render the modification unenforceable, including, in section 365(e)(1)(B), “the commencement of a case” under the Code. It was that language in subsection (B) that Judge Peck found provided a basis to look to the bankruptcy cases of a debtor other than the debtor party to the relevant executory contract. But that subsection only provides detail on what renders a provision an ipso facto provision;' it does not in any way relate to the timing of the modification addressed elsewhere in section 365(e)(1). Therefore, the Court respectfully departs from Judge Peek’s prior analysis and agrees with the Movants-that the “singular event” theory as articulated in BNY should not be adopted.
The Court again notes that Judge Peck’s statement that LBSF could rely on LBHI’s bankruptcy filing to satisfy the requirements of section 365(e)(1) was dicta because, as the Movants point out, the transaction in BNY was a Post-Post Transaction, in which the Swap was terminated, and Judge Peck found that all relevant events occurred, after the LBSF Petition Date.98 It is also worth noting that, in BNY, Judge Peck himself recognized that his interpretation of section 365(e)(1) could be controversial. Indeed, he subsequently declined to extend the “singular event” theory to other legal issues relating to the separate petition dates of LBHI and LBSF, and further cabined the applicability of his reasoning to the anti-ipso facto provisions in Lehman Bros. Holdings Inc. v. Intel Corp. (In re Lehman Bros. Holdings Inc.).99
b. Any Modification of LBSF’s Rights Was Effective When LBSF Received Notice of Early Termination
Having concluded that the LBSF Petition Date is the relevant date for purposes of evaluating a modification caused by an ipso facto clause, it is clear that, by the plain terms of the Code, a modification that occurred before that date is not prohibited by sections 365(e)(1), 541(c)(1), and 363(Z) of the Code. Turning to whether the relevant modifications occurred after the LBSF Petition Date, the Court concludes that, to the extent that enforcement of the Priority Provisions for a Pre-Pre Transaction100 or Pre-Post Transaction modified LBSF’s rights, such modification occurred prior to the LBSF Petition Date and therefore is not a violation of sections 365(e)(1), 541(c)(1), or 363(Z) of the Code.
Under New York law, when interpreting a contract, a court’s “primary objective is to give effect to the intent of the parties as revealed by the language of their agreement. The words and phrases *499in a contract should be given their plain meaning, and the contract should be construed so as to give full meaning and effect to all of its provisions.”101 “The meaning of particular language ... should be examined in light of the business purposes sought to be achieved by the parties and the plain meaning of the words chosen by them to effect those purposes.”102 No ambiguity exists where the contract language has a “definite and precise meaning, unattended by danger of misconception in the purport of the contract itself, and concerning which there is no reasonable basis for a difference of opinion.”103 The language of a contract is not made ambiguous “simply because the parties urge different interpretations in the litigation,”104 especially “if the contract ‘was negotiated between sophisticated, counseled business people negotiating at arm’s length.’ ”105
Applying these principles of contract interpretation to the express language of the Priority Provisions, it is clear that (i) LBSF’s right to a distribution ahead of the Noteholders pursuant to the Priority Provisions depends on whether it is the Defaulting Party under the Swap;106 (ii) LBSF became the Defaulting Party when an Event of Default occurred (ie., on the LBHI Petition Date) and notice of such Event of Default was provided;107 and (iii) LBSF was the Defaulting Party when the Swaps were terminated and it received notice of such termination. By the plain terms of the Swap, any modification of LBSF’s rights was thus effective upon the Early Termination resulting from LBSF’s default, and not upon the subsequent sale and distribution of the Collateral proceeds, as argued by LBSF. For Pre-Pre Transactions and Pre-Post Transactions, as the Movants argue,108 LBSF’s right to receive payment ahead of the Noteholders under the Priority Provisions was thus fixed pri- or to the LBSF Petition Date; it is that right that LBSF has alleged was modified. LBSF’s right to receive a distribution from the actual proceeds of the liquidation of the Collateral (in the event the amount of such proceeds was sufficient to pay off higher priority parties) was not modified and thus is not relevant for purposes of *500analysis of an alleged violation of sections 365(e)(1), 541(c)(1), or 363(1).
In BNY, Judge Peck noted that a modification of payment priority under the governing transactions documents in that case was not effective as long as “there are amounts to be paid” in connection with the liquidation of the Collateral.109 Here, however, the Transaction Documents make clear that a modification of payment priority takes effect once LBSF is designated a Defaulting Party and the Swap is terminated. A modification of LBSF’s right to receive a distribution from the Collateral’s liquidation proceeds would be effective only upon a final determination of the amount of proceeds available for distribution to the Secured Parties upon the sale of the liquidation. But that right — the right to receive an actual payment — is not the right that LBSF has alleged was modified, and, in any event, it was not modified as a result of the enforcement of the Priority Provisions. LBSF’s right to payment priority ahead of the Noteholders is the right that LBSF alleges was modified here, and, for Type 1 Transactions, that right was modified as a result of the Early Termination notice designating LBSF a Defaulting Party. Such modification occurred prior to the LBSF Petition Date and thus is not prohibited by sections 365(e)(1), 541(c)(1), or 363(i).110
Contrary to LBSF’s arguments, the fact that the relevant contracts are executory or could be viewed as “integrated” has no relevance to the question of when a modification of LBSF’s priority rights occurred. The effectiveness of one provision of a contract — here, the Priority Provisions — is a distinct issue from whether the parties to such contract generally have ongoing obligations. Payment priority rights were established no later than the Early Termination Date (even if the amount of payment was not determined at that time) and the Priority Provisions were immediately and fully enforceable on the designated Early Termination Date. Therefore, for the Pre-Pre Transactions and Pre-Post Transactions, any modification effected by the Priority Provisions does not run afoul of the anti-ipso facto provisions because such modification occurred and was fully effective prior to the LBSF Petition Date.
3. The Section 560 Safe Harbor Protects The Distributions
Section 560 of the Code provides:
The exercise of any contractual right of any swap participant or financial participant to cause the liquidation, termination, or acceleration of one or more swap agreements because of a condition of the kind specified in section 365(e)(1) of this title ... shall not be stayed, avoided, or otherwise limited by operation of any provision of this title or by order of a court ... in any proceeding under this title.
11 U.S.C. § 560. To the extent that the enforcement of the Priority Provisions of any of the Transactions resulted in a modification of LBSF’s rights that is prohibited by the anti-ipso facto provisions (ie. all *501Type 1 Transactions),111 the Distributions made pursuant to such Priority Provisions are protected by the safe harbor embodied in section 560 of the Code. Broadly speaking, the same conclusion would apply to the extent that any of the Type 2 Transactions, for one or more reasons, were held to violate the Code’s anti-ipso facto provisions.
Seeking to navigate around the unambiguously sweeping text of section 560, LBSF first argues that the Court cannot conclude that section 560 protects the Transactions at issue at this Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss stage of the proceedings;112 citing Picard v. Merkin (In re Bernard L. Madoff Inv. Sec. LLC),113 LBSF contends that the safe harbor provisions of the Code are affirmative defenses that can only be invoked as a basis to dismiss a claim that is, on its face, precluded by one or more of the safe harbors.114 LBSF asserts that its claims here pass muster under Rule 12(b)(6) in light of Judge Peck’s rulings in BNY arid Bally-rock that the safe harbors did not protect the priority provisions at issue in those cases.
The Court disagrees. First and foremost, LBSF’s reliance on Picard v. Mer-kin is misplaced in light of the District Court’s subsequent decision in Picard v. Katz and the Second Circuit’s decision in Picard v. Ida Fishman Revocable Trust, both of which implicitly rejected the proposition for which LBSF cites Picard v. Merkin.115 Second, if the safe harbor provisions of the Code are to function as Congress intended, they must be brought into play at the outset of an action, not only after the parties have been at sea in litigation for years (as they are here, since this proceeding has been pending since 2010). Moreover, as explained below, the Court finds that the language of section 560 “is plain and controlling on its face,”116 and there is no legal basis for any limitation on its authority to conclude, at this procedural juncture, that the safe harbors apply to the Transactions here.
Turning to the analysis of section 560, it is important to recognize that, as the Movants argue, the Second Circuit and courts in this District have repeatedly noted in cases decided subsequent to BNY and Ballyrock that the safe harbors require a “broad and literal interpretation.” 117 Many courts have explained that *502a broad reading of the safe harbors is consistent, and goes hand-in-hand, with congressional intent in creating (and subsequently expanding) the safe harbors to promote the stability and efficiency of financial markets.118 Although the Second Circuit has not specifically addressed the issue presented here, it is against that backdrop that the Court evaluates whether section 560 protects the modifications effected by the Priority Provisions.-
LBSF challenges the applicability of section 560 to the Transactions at issue here on several grounds. LBSF primarily argues that enforcement of the Priority Provisions and distribution of the Collateral pursuant to Noteholder Priority do not constitute the exercise of a right to cause the “liquidation, termination, or acceleration” of a swap agreement.119 In addition, LBSF also argues that the enforcement of the Priority Provisions was not an exercise of a contractual right of the Issuers, who are without dispute parties to the Swaps, but rather the exercise of a right of the Trustees, whose status as a “swap participant” or “financial participant,” according to LBSF, is less clear.120 For the reasons that follow, LBSF’s arguments are unavailing. The Court concludes that the enforcement of the Priority Provisions satisfies the elements of the section 560 safe harbor and thus may not be stayed, avoided, or otherwise limited by other provisions of the Code or by Court order.
a. Enforcement of the Priority Provisions Was Part of the Exercise of a Right to Cause the Liquidation or Termination of the Swaps
The terms of the safe harbors must be interpreted based on their plain meaning and are subject only to the limitations that are found in the express language of the relevant provision.121 The term “liquidate” is not defined by the Code, and thus, in interpreting Section 560, “liquidate” must be interpreted based on its “ordinary, contemporary, common meaning.”122 As argued by the Movants, legal, financial, and general dictionaries define “liquidate” to include the payment of the proceeds of the liquidation.123 Given the clear and unambiguous meaning of the text of the statute, resort to legislative *503history is unnecessary;124 nevertheless, it is worth noting that the legislative history of section 560 indicates that the exercise of a right to “determine ... upon default, which party is owed how much” falls within the scope of the safe harbor.125
LBSF argues that the enforcement of Noteholder Priority and resulting distribution to Noteholders do not constitute either “liquidation” or “termination” of a swap agreement and thus cannot be protected by section 560. Once again, LBSF relies heavily on language in Judge Peck’s decisions in-BNY and Ballyroch holding that section 560 did not protect the priority provisions at issue in those cases. Specifically, LBSF argues that the Distributions to Noteholders are “ancillary” or unrelated to the liquidation and termination of the Swaps and thus fall outside the scope of section 560.126 LBSF asserts that because distribution of the proceeds of the Collateral was not mandatory under the Transaction Documents, distribution is not sufficiently related to the liquidation or termination of the Swaps for purposes of the section 560 safe harbor. The Court notes, however, that Judge Peck’s determination in BNY that section 560 did not apply relied in no small measure on a ruling that the priority provisions at issue in that case “did not comprise- part of the swap agreement,” and thus the provisions governing the liquidation were not a part of the swap agreement.127 The facts here are different: here, it is clear that the Priority Provisions are either explicitly set forth in the schedules to the ISDA Master Agreements or are incorporated into such schedules from the Indentures.128
Both -LBSF and Movants point to Judge Peck’s ruling in Michigan Housing to support their respective positions.129 The Movants cite to Judge Peck’s analysis of the “ordinary meaning of ‘liquidation’ ” and his conclusion that “liquidation” includes determination of “the exact amount due and payable under the swap agreement” and “the manner of carrying [the liquidation] out”130 to argue that the Distributions were part of the liquidation of the Swaps and therefore fall squarely within the scope of the safe harbor.131 In contrast, LBSF argues that Michigan Housing “holds only that a counterparty’s use of a calculation mechanism in a swap agreement authorized as a result of the other party’s bankruptcy falls within the *504Section 560 safe harbor” and points to Judge Peck’s emphasis that nothing in Michigan Housing was intended to alter his rulings in BNY and Ballyrock that the section 560 safe harbor did not protect the distributions at issue in those cases.132
In Michigan Housing, Judge Peck held that section 560 protects the contractual right to “calculate the Settlement Amount” due under the Swap. As the Movants point out, consistent with the legislative intent outlined above, Judge Peck noted that “the plain meaning of [section 560] protects both the act of liquidating and the manner for carrying it out.”133 However, in Michigan Housing, Judge Peck expressly distinguished the BNY and Ballyrock situations, reaffirming that in his view section 560 did not protect the rights exercised in those cases by the swap counterparties.134 Specifically, Judge Peck explained that unlike in BNY, the provisions governing liquidation and distribution in Michigan Housing were “part of the swap agreement at issue,” while Ballyrock was distinguishable because that decision dealt “with a provision altering priority of payment and not a provision strictly dealing with liquidation, termination or acceleration.”135
While the Court acknowledges that, as the District Court observed when addressing the Reference Withdrawal Motion, there is “daylight” between Michigan Housing and BNY,136 the Court concludes that section 560 protects the enforcement of the Priority Provisions and the distribution of the proceeds of the sale of the Collateral as part of the exercise of the right to liquidate the Swaps. Not only have there been decisions by the Second Circuit in the intervening years since BNY making clear that the safe harbors under the Code are meant to be read broadly and according to their plain terms,137 but Judge Peck’s reasoning in Michigan Housing itself supports a reading of “liquidation” of a swap agreement to include the events at issue here.
LBSF urges that the term “liquidation” be limited to the termination of the Swap and no more — but that could not have been Congress’ intent in adding “liquidation” to the statute. Applying an accepted rule of statutory interpretation,138 the Court must read the terms “termination” and “liquidation” to have distinct meanings, otherwise the two would be redundant. Liquidation of a swap therefore must refer to something other than its termination.
The liquidation of the Collateral and the distribution of the proceeds pursuant to the Priority Provisions directly followed the termination of the Swaps. The Priority Provisions specified to whom and in what order of priority those distributions *505were to be made. Accordingly, the termination of the Swaps led to the liquidation of the Collateral, the determination of the amount due to each Sécured Party, and the corresponding distribution of those amounts pursuant to the applicable Waterfall. Had the proceeds from the Collateral been sufficient to make a distribution to LBSF under the Waterfall, that distribution would clearly have been made as part of the liquidation of the Swaps. Distinguishing between a distribution made to LBSF pursuant to the Priority Provisions and a distribution to the Noteholders pursuant to the same Priority Provisions is inconsistent with the Second Circuit’s broad reading of the safe harbors and with a plain-meaning interpretation of the statute and the Transaction Documents. The Priority Provisions only have relevance and import when viewed in connection with the termination of the Swap and liquidation of the Collateral, and therefore cannot be viewed as “ancillary” or “unrelated” to the rights to terminate and liquidate a swap agreement.
LBSF contends, unconvincingly, that because the Trustees had discretion not to distribute proceeds from the liquidation of the Collateral, the distribution thereof cannot be considered part of the termination and liquidation of the Swap.139 Whether each step in that process was contractually or legally mandated is irrelevant for the purposes of determining whether each step was an integral part of the overall process of liquidating the Swaps. LBSF cannot dispute that once the Trustees decided to distribute the proceeds of the Collateral, such distributions were required to be made pursuant to the prevailing Waterfall. In addition, had LBSF Priority been the prevailing Waterfall, such distributions to LBSF would undoubtedly be viewed as part of the liquidation of the Swap. That Noteholder Priority was in effect does not change that conclusion.
This conclusion is further supported by the fact that the non-recourse language of the Swaps140 indicates that distributing proceeds pursuant to the Priority Provisions was a fundamental element of the process of liquidation or termination of the Swaps under the Swaps themselves. By LBSF’s own admission, “the non-recourse language relied on [by Movants] does no more than clarify that amounts payable must follow the Waterfall as set out in the Indenture.”141 Therefore, there can be no dispute that the distribution of the liquidated Collateral was directly governed by the Priority Provisions.
As the Movants correctly argue, the liquidation of the Collateral was necessitated by the termination of the Swaps and the distribution of the proceeds of that liquidation to the Noteholders completed the liquidation of the Swaps; the enforcement of Noteholder Priority was part and parcel of the exercise of the right to cause the termination and liquidation of the Swaps,
b. The Enforcement of the Priority Provisions Was the Exercise of a Right of the Issuers As Swap Participants
In order for the protections of section 560 to apply to the exercise of a contractual right, such right must belong either to a “swap participant” or to a “fi*506nancial participant” as defined in the Code. LBSF argues that enforcement of the Priority Provisions does not meet this requirement because the right to enforce the Priority Provisions and make distributions belonged to the Trustees and/or Notehold-ers, who LBSF argues are neither “swap participants” nor “financial participants” as defined in the Code.142 The Movants assert, however, that enforcement of the Priority Provisions was a right of the Issuers, who indisputably meet the definition of “swap participants.”143
The Court agrees with the Movants. Section 101(B)(53C) defines “swap participant” as “an entity that, at any time before the filing of the petition, has an outstanding swap agreement with the debtor.”144 Each Issuer was a party to the respective Swaps and therefore meet the Code’s definition of a “swap participant.”145 The express terms of the Transaction Documents make clear that the termination of the Swaps and the liquidation and distribution of the Collateral and its proceeds (which, as explained above, are integral steps in the process of the liquidation of the Swaps) were rights that could be exercised by the Issuers. That the Trustees acted on behalf of the Issuers in exercising such rights does not preclude the application of the safe harbor,146 especially in light of the Second Circuit’s recent pronouncement in Tribune that the safe harbors are intended to and must protect transactions, not individual parties, if they are to protect the stability and efficiency of the financial markets.147
There is no dispute that the Issuers were parties to the Swaps and incurred obligations to LBSF under the Transaction Documents. It is also beyond dispute that the Issuers incurred obligations to the Noteholders upon issuance of the Notes. Under the Transaction Documents, LBSF and the Noteholders only had recourse for satisfaction of the Issuers’ obligations against the Collateral and any other assets of the Issuers related to the respective Transaction or series of Notes. The obligation to pay LBSF and the Noteholders from the proceeds of the Collateral was at all times an obligation of the Issuers, and while various parties held interests in the Collateral during the life of the Transactions, the Collateral was held by the Trustees in trust for the Issuers to secure the obligations the Issuers owed to the Secured Parties. The Issuers therefore held a corresponding right to liquidate the Collateral upon the Early Termination to satisfy their obligations in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents. Distribution pursuant to the prevailing Waterfall — whether such Waterfall estab*507lished LBSF Priority or Noteholder Priority'under the circumstances — was a part of the Issuers’ rights to terminate and wind down the Transactions.
C. LBSF’s State Law Claims Fail to State a Cause of Action
In light of the foregoing rulings with respect to the applicability of the anti-fyso facto provisions of the Code and the safe harbor contained in section 560 of the Code, the Court concludes that LBSF’s state law claims also fail to state a cause of action upon which relief can be granted.148 The Court agrees with the Movants that Counts XIII through XVI and XVIII are predicated on the unenforceability of the Priority Provisions as ipso facto clauses under the Code, and therefore such counts do not survive a motion to dismiss in light of the Court’s rulings above. As to Count XIX, the Court concludes that the claim asserted in such count fails as a matter of law and therefore Count-XIX should also be dismissed.
1. Counts XIII-XVT
Counts XIII through XVI fail to state a cause of action upon which relief can be granted because each is premised on this Court’s determination that the Distributions were improper in some way and thus deprived LBSF of its property. For the reasons stated above, the Court concludes that the Priority Provisions are not unenforceable ipso facto clauses under the Code but instead constitute the contractually mandated roadmap that the parties followed to enforce their express contractual rights. Accordingly, ás a matter of law, the Distributions were not in any way improper, nor was LBSF deprived of any of its property.
LBSF’s claim for unjust enrichment as set forth in Count XIII therefore must also fail. The elements of an unjust enrichment claim are (i) a benefit to the defendants; (ii) at the plaintiffs expense; and (iii) that in equity and good conscience requires restitution to the plaintiff.149 LBSF’s argument requires the Court to conclude in the first instance that “LBSF was rightfully entitled”150 to the distribution that the Noteholders received, which proposition the Court has rejected. LBSF therefore cannot satisfy the second element of a claim for unjust enrichment under New York law. In addition, for similar reasons, there is also no basis — in “equity and good- conscience” or otherwise — for the Court to grant restitution to LBSF here, and therefore LBSF also cannot satisfy the third element of a claim for unjust enrichment under New York law. Moreover, in at least one other case, the District Court has found that the enforcement of a similar swap provision did not constitute unjust enrichment of the party receiving the distribution.151 Accordingly, Count XIII must be dismissed. Because one of the elements required to demonstrate the existence of a constructive trust *508is unjust enrichment, Count XIV (Constructive Trust) therefore must also be dismissed.
Similarly, LBSF’s claim for “money had and received” asserted in Count XV also fails because such a claim requires that LBSF be entitled to the money distributed to the Noteholders,152 which, as the Court has found, is not the case here. Finally, LBSF’s claim for replevin set forth in Count XVI fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. LBSF argues that it has pled a proper claim for replevin because it holds “a superior pos-sessory right” to the proceeds of the liquidation of the Collateral which property is currently held by the Movants.153 Because the Court concludes that the Distributions did not improperly deprive LBSF of any rights or property, LBSF’s claim for re-plevin fails as a matter of law.
2. Count XVII
LBSF’s breach of contract claim asserted only against the Trustees in Count XVII fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted because the Trustees acted in a manner consistent with the terms of the Transaction Documents and, in light of the Court’s rulings that the Priority Provisions are not unenforceable, the Trustees did not have an obligation to act otherwise. At the Hearing, counsel for LBSF acknowledged that if all other Counts in the Complaint were dismissed, then Count XVII could not survive.154 The Court today holds that all other Counts must' be dismissed and therefore Count XVII must be dismissed as well.
3. Count XVIII
In Count XVIII of the Complaint, LBSF asserts .a constructive fraudulent transfer claim under New York law against the Trustees and Noteholders. To establish such a claim, a party must demonstrate, among other things, that the transferor did not receive “fair consideration” in exchange for the transfer at issue; under section 272(a) of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law, “fair consideration” is given when “an antecedent debt is satisfied” in good faith.155 LBSF’s state law claims for constructive fraudulent conveyance by the Issuers fail because the Distributions to the Noteholders (i) were made pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to satisfy the Issuers’ obligations to the Noteholders under the Notes, and moreover, as explained above, (ii) do not constitute an improper payment of a junior debt ahead of a senior debt, as LBSF alleges. Therefore, as Movants point out, the Issuers received “fair consideration” in exchange for the Distributions and LBSF’s constructive fraudulent transfer claims under New York law fail to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.
LBSF also asserts a claim in Count XVIII of the Complaint for intentional fraudulent transfer under New York law, which requires a conveyance to be made with actual intent to “hinder, delay, or defraud” creditors in order for such conveyance to be fraudulent.156 LBSF has failed to state a claim that the Trustees or Noteholders acted with intent to hinder, *509delay, or defraud the Issuers’ creditors. As the Movants argue, the Distributions were made to repay the Issuers’ debts to the Noteholders pursuant to agreements that were negotiated in good-faith and at arms’-length.157 Moreover, the purported badges of fraud identified by LBSF in the Complaint are predicated on the Trustees’ knowledge that distributions to the Note-holders would be invalid under the Code.158 The Court has found that the Priority Provisions are not unenforceable ipso facto clauses and are protected by the section 560 safe harbor, and, therefore, the Distributions do not violate the Code. Therefore, LBSF’s claims for intentional fraudulent conveyance fail and Count XVIII must be dismissed in its entirety.159
4. Count XIX
In Count XIX of the Complaint, LBSF seeks a declaratory judgment that the Priority Provisions in each Swap operate as an unenforceable penalty under New York law based on LBSF’s view that the enforcement of the Priority Provisions deprived LBSF of payments it was rightfully owed. Although Judge Peck decided in Ballyrock that it was not necessary for the Court to rule on LBSF’s theory that the Priority Provisions constituted an invalid penalty, he noted that “it is difficult to characterize the [priority provision] as either a penalty or forfeiture. The clause does not appear to be an impermissible penalty because it does not fix,damages, but instead eliminates the right to.receive funds -that would have been distributed to LBSF absent a default.”160 Judge Peck relied on a decision of the District Court with facts similar to those before the Court in which that court found that a provision in a swap agreement that eliminated a defaulting party’s entitlement to a termination payment if the termination was caused by the default was not a penalty.161
The Court concurs with Judge Peck’s observations. In light of the Court’s holdings here dismissing all of the other Counts of the Complaint, the Court concludes that Count XIX fails as a matter of law and must also be dismissed.
CONCLUSION
For the reasons stated herein, the Court concludes that LBSF has failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted in Counts I through XIX of the Complaint. The Motion to Dismiss is GRANTED. Counts I through XIX of the Complaint *510asserted against the Movants are dismissed with prejudice. The parties are directed to submit an order consistent with this Decision.

BNY Corporate Trustee Services Limited and others [2009] EWCA Civ 1160 (“Perpetual).
. Familiarity with BNY, Ballyrock, Perpetual, and the briefing submitted by the parties will assist the reader in following the analysis set forth in this Decision. Incorporating every detail here would yield an unreasonably unwieldy opinion.
. ECF No, 1195.
. The Fourth Amended Complaint, dated October 13, 2015 [ECF No. 1156], is referred to herein as the “Complaint.” By Count I of the Complaint, LBSF seeks a declaratory judgment that the Priority Provisions constitute unenforceable ipso facto clauses, By Counts II and III of the Complaint, LBSF asserts claims for violation of the automatic stay pursuant to section 362 of the Code. By Counts IV-IX, LBSF asserts various avoidance claims under sections 547, 548, and 549 of the Code, Finally, by Counts X through XII, LBSF asserts claims for turnover of property under section 542 of the Code.
. ECF Nos. 1198 and 1199 (together, the "Joinders”).
. Pursuant to the Second Scheduling Order [ECF No. 1138], the Motion and Joinders do not seek dismissal of Counts XX through XXIII, which relate to the Pyxis Transactions, or Counts XXIV and XXV, which relate to the Federation Transactions, and therefore the Court does not address those Counts here.
. The Complaint identifies forty-seven collat-eralized debt obligation transactions as the subject of LBSF’s allegations; the parties to three of those transactions have reached a settlement. As a result, those transactions are not addressed in this Decision.
. The Court uses the defined term "Transaction” or "Transactions” to refer to the three component transactions as a whole.
. The Court uses the defined term "Notes” to refer collectively to the series of notes and trust certificates issued in connection with the Transactions at issue.
. See generally Def. Br. [ECF No, 1195] at 5.
. Id.
. Id.
. Of the forty-four Transactions that are the subject of this Adversary Proceeding, (a) thirty-nine involved the issuance of secured notes pursuant to an indenture governed by New York law; (b) two involved the issuance of secured notes pursuant to an English law trust deed (the Quartz Finance Pic 2004-1 and Ruby Finance pic 2005-1 Transactions); and (c) three involved the issuance of trust certificates in connection with a trust agreement governed by New York law (the Restructured Asset Certificates with Enhanced Returns (“RACER”) Series Transactions). See Def. Br. at 5 n. 4.
. In addition to the Noteholders and LBSF, “Secured Parties” for a Transaction typically included the Trustees themselves, as well as any specified providers of administrative, custodial, or similar services. For the RACER Series Transactions, however, there was no grant of security interests in the relevant Collateral, but the Transaction Documents created certain contract rights and obligations that the parties agree achieved a similar effect.

. "ISDA” is an acronym for the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., a , global trade association that has pioneered efforts to standardize documentation for derivatives, including the development of the ISDA Master Agreement, which serves as the contractual foundation for more than 90% of derivatives transactions globally. Market participants also use “the ISDA” as a shorthand reference to the ISDA Master Agreement. See In re Lehman Bros. Holdings Inc., No. O8-13555 SCC, 2015 WL 7194609, at *1 n. 1 (Bankr.S.D.N.Y. Sept. 16, 2015) (“Intel II").
. The majority of the Swaps referenced underlying commercial, industrial, and financial obligations, and the remaining Swaps referenced other Swaps or asset-backed securities (the so-called "CDO-squareds”).
. Although the Swaps enumerate several po- ■ tential Events of Default for both LBSF and the Issuers, for purposes of this Decision, the only one relevant here is that LBHI’s filing for bankruptcy was listed as an Event of Default that would render LBSF a “Defaulting Party” (as defined in the Swap). There is no allegation that the Issuers defaulted on the Swap or any other Transaction Document.
. See Intel II, at *6 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 16, 2015).

. See Intel II, at *11 n.67 (citing ISDA Master § 14, “Market Quotation”).
. See Intel II, at *10 (citing ISDA Master § 14, "Loss”).
. In fourteen of the Swaps, Market Quotation was the calculation method instead of Loss, but the method of calculation has no material effect on the dispute here.
. BNY, 422 B.R. at 420.
. LBSF does not allege that the Transactions were terminated for any reason other than an Event of Default under the Swaps for which LBSF was the Defaulting Party and does not contest that the Issuers and Trustees held the right to terminate the Swaps and accelerate the Notes. See Tr. of May 4, 2016 Hr’g at 57:16-58:1 [ECFNo. 1342],
.The Court has not been provided information as to when one of the Transactions, the Kings River Limited Transaction, was terminated.
. The Court adopts the Noteholders’ categorization of the Transactions as provided in Appendix A to the Motion, which categorization LBSF has not disputed. The Court has not been provided information as to when distribution of the Collateral occurred for the three Sunset Park 2004 Transactions.
. LBSF does not dispute that the Transactions were terminated as a result of an Event of Default under the Swaps or that LBSF was the Defaulting Party.

Pursuant to the Second Scheduling Order, the Court authorized certain subsets of defendants to file motions to dismiss according to different deadlines, and established a timeline for the resolution of certain issues relating only to certain defendants, As a result, the Motion and the Join-ders do not seek dismissal of all Counts of the Complaint as against all defendants, and the parties may seek a determination by the Court on different issues in this adversary proceeding'at a later date.

. For the RACER Series Transactions, LBSF argues that rather than "flip” its payment priority right, the Priority Provisions eliminated LBSF’s right to receive a termination payment if LBSF defaulted on the Swaps in those Transactions even if LBSF' was "in-the-money” under such Swaps.
.See Reloeb Co. v. LTV Corp. (In re Chateaugay Corp.), 1993 WL 159969, *5, 1993 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 6130, *14 (S.D.N.Y. May 10, 1993) (explaining that section 365 of the Code "abrogates the power of ipso facto clauses” and, therefore, "[n]o default may occur pursuant to an ipso facto clause”).
. See p. 483, supra.
. Hence, the term "flip clauses” is used as a colloquial way to refer to these clauses. See, e.g., Ballyrock, 452 B.R. at 38; Pierre J. Riou, The Flap over Flip Clauses: Should They Flop Against Debtors’ Nondebtor Subsidiaries?, Am. Bankr.Inst. J., July 2012.

. As reflected in Appendix B, the Court has characterized five Transactions as Type 1 Transactions.
. See Def. Br. at 14 (arguing that -LBSF Priority only came into being upon a "Credit Event" or "Issuer Event" as defined in the Transaction Documents).
.The Court agrees with the Movants that the method of calculating the amount of a termination payment and determining which swap counterparty owes such payment is unrelated to the question of payment priority. The calculation method simply establishes the amount of an obligation;' it does not .create or affect in any way a right to payment of that obligation.
. As reflected in Appendix B, the Court has characterized thirty-nine Transactions as Type 2 Transactions.
. In fact, had the proceeds of the sale of the Collateral been much greater than they were, LBSF may have even received a payment in connection with its purported "in-the-money” position in the Swaps.
.Because each Type 1 Transaction is a Post-Post Transaction, the Court’s alternative holding applies only to Type 2 Transactions *496that are either a Pre-Pre Transaction or a Pre-Post Transaction.

. In that case, however, all of the relevant termination events occurred after the LBSF Petition Date (z.e., the transactions would be categorized as Post-Post Transactions under the framework adopted by the Court in this Decision), including termination of the relevant swap agreement and therefore, Judge Peck’s conclusion that a modification was not effective until after liquidation of Collateral was dicta.
. Because the Court concludes that, to the extent LBSF’s right to payment priority ahead of the Noteholders was modified prior to the LBSF Petition Date, and thus such right did not become property of the estate under section 541 when LBSF filed its petition, sections 541(c) and 363(l) are not implicated by the modification.

. For example, Section 10.1(d) of the Indenture for the 801 Grand CDO Transaction provides: "If at any time the Credit Swaps become subject to early termination due to the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Termination Event (each as defined in the Credit Swaps), the Issuer and the Trustee shall take such actions ... to enforce the rights of the Issuer and the Trustee thereunder as may be permitted by the terms of such agreement and consistent with the terms hereof, and shall apply the proceeds of any such actions to Principal Collections.”
