Sample PlanSale To
This Chapter 11 plan is from the reorganization of America West Airlines. The bankruptcy was filed in 1991 and the reorganization was completed in 1994, when a new entity, AmWest Partners L.P. (formed by, among others, Continental Airlines and Mesa Airlines), agreed to purchase $115 million in common stock of the reorganized company and up to $130 million in new unsecured notes, thereby infusing the estate with new capital of up to $245 million for payments to creditors under the plan. AmWest acquired a 33.5 percent ownership interest and a 71.2 percent voting interest in the reorganized America West Airlines, with the remaining equity being issued to creditors in partial satisfaction of their claims. A small percentage of the new equity was given to current America West employees. Creditors were allowed to elect to receive cash in lieu of new common stock, and AmWest agreed to "purchase" the shares that would otherwise go to such electing creditors, further enhancing AmWest's ownership interest in the reorganized airline. |

ARTICLE 5 Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases 5.1 Assumption of Certain Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases 5.1.1 Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument, release, indenture or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan, on the Effective Date, pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, AWA shall assume or assume and assign, as indicated, each of the Assumed Agreements including, without limitation, the executory contracts and unexpired leases listed on Schedule 3 hereto; provided, however, that AWA or NewAWA shall have the right, at any time prior to the Effective Date, to amend Schedule 3: (a) unless indicated otherwise on Schedule 3, to delete any executory contract or unexpired lease listed therein, thus providing for its rejection pursuant to Section 5.2; or (b) to add any executory contract or unexpired lease, thus providing for its assumption or assumption and assignment pursuant to this Section 5.1.1. The Debtor or NewAWA shall provide notice of any amendments to Schedule 3 to the parties to the executory contracts or unexpired leases affected thereby and, if such amendments are made before the Effective Date, to the parties on the Official Service List. Pursuant to Section 1123 (b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the assumptions and assignments described in this Section 5.1.1, pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the Effective Date. 5.1.2 Unless otherwise agreed by AWA and the counterparty to any such Assumed Agreement, (i) all cure payments which may be required by Section 365 (b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code under any Assumed Agreement, if not previously made, shall be made on the Effective Date or promptly thereafter, and (ii) in the event of a dispute regarding the amount or timing of any cure payments, the ability of NewAWA to provide adequate assurance of future performance, or any other matter pertaining to assumption or assignment, such dispute shall be resolved by the Bankruptcy Court and NewAWA shall make such cure payments, if any, or provide such assurance as may be required by the Final Order resolving |

such dispute on the terms and conditions of such Final Order. 5.1.3 Except as otherwise provided in the Plan (including any such provision on Schedule 3) or in any contract, instrument, release or indenture or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan, each Assumed Agreement shall, at AWA's option, be assumed only to the extent that any such contract or lease constitutes an executory contract or unexpired lease. Listing a contract or lease on Schedule 3 shall not, in and of itself, constitute an admission by the Debtor or NewAWA that such contract or lease is an executory contract or unexpired lease or that the Debtor or NewAWA has any liability thereunder. Contracts and leases which are within the definition of Assumed Agreements and which are later determined to have not been in fact executory contracts or unexpired leases, shall be treated in accordance with the provisions in the Plan for the treatment of that type of Claim which properly arises from the true nature of the legal relationship between the parties as determined by the Bankruptcy Court or by settlement; provided, however, that either the Debtor or NewAWA may in its sole discretion amend the Plan to provide for different treatment of any such Claim after Notice and a Hearing. 5.1.4 Except as otherwise provided in the Plan (including any such provision on Schedule 3) or in any contract, instrument, release or indenture or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan, all assumptions of executory contracts and unexpired leases under the Plan shall be without prejudice to the rights of the Debtor or NewAWA to assign later such assumed executory contracts or unexpired leases, notwithstanding any prohibition to the contrary in any such contract or lease. 5.2 Rejection of Certain Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. On the Effective Date, except for every Assumed Agreement, each executory contract and unexpired lease entered into by AWA prior to the Petition Date that has not previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms and (to the extent they are executory contracts) all AWA Warrants, Options and Other Equity Interests shall be rejected pursuant to Sections 365 and 1123 (b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code and considered a Rejected Agreement hereunder. 5.3 Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases. All proofs of claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of any Rejected Agreement shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court within the later to occur of thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. Any Claims not filed within such time shall be forever barred from assertion against the Debtor, its estate and property, or NewAWA. | |
